How Bitcoin Turned My Dream Into Reality.

I'm from India. A flight trip is unimaginable for people like us from villages. I think probably I'm the first one to get on a plane from my village. This is the story of how I turned my dream of a flight trip into a reality by bitcoin.

I've dreamt of getting on a plane since childhood. I used to be fascinated when seeing planes flying up above. Since then, As I grew up this dream of flying grew inside me. It became more like a life goal. I remember asking my mom if we could go a flight trip to Chennai (A major tourist city in India). Weidn't had the financial ability to book plane tickets at that time. So my mom said no. And I was really sad, but now I know. Pain makes a man chase dreams.

This unsettling dream turned me upside down. At that time I was in highschool. I started looking up online for jobs. Here in India, it's illegal to work if you are under 18. So that didn't work out. I started saving up my pocket money. It was that time my friend told me about Bitcoin. At first I thought "Hahah this is bullshit, How can someone invest in it!". Oh boy, was I wrong. After a week, I started researching more and more. The more I read about Bitcoin, the more I got excited to invest.

At that time I had about 10000 rs. (About $160) I started my account on binance and I went all in on it. My bank balance turned zero! I didn't tell my family about it, I knew they wouldn't be happy. I lost some trades. Lost about $30-$40. I was kind of depressed about this. Then my mind was like, invest in any coin and make some quick bucks. So I invested in Verge (XVG) which is a privacy coin. 200 SATs at that time. I went all in on it expecting to make at least 10% profit. I know my trading strategy was stupid and this is not at all advised. I woke up the next day, checked my wallet and I couldn't even believe my eyes. My 10000 rs was turned into 86700 rs. Seeing this I felt like I'm at top of the world.

The first thing I did was, I booked 4 flight tickets to Chennai. It costed me about 20000 rs. At this point my family didn't even had a clue about all of this.
After booking the tickets, I went to my mom and said "Were flying to Chennai next week, pack your bags". She was like "Are you out of your mind?". I sat down and explained everything to her. She was shocked. Not because of I earned this much (it was a huge amount for us that time) It was because I invested 10000 rs into something that she never even heard of. I told my dad about this and he was happy. I mean, I've never seen him this happy since I Born. I was proud, Lifted my head up like it was the best thing I ever did!

The day of the trip arrived, we went to the airport. And we saw a plane so close to us for the first time ever. We were so amused seeing it for the first time.

We landed in chennai. It was comfortable. We went to see places. And we had a great time.

I'm proud of the fact that I had the chance to bring my parents with me for my first flight trip. Now I know, if you can dream about something and work hard for it, it will be possible. Trust me!
