Meeting a Crypto Friend for the first time - on vacation!
Hello Steemit users! This is me and my friend Tim and we met for the first time last week on Fuerteventura.
We have known us for almost 2 years already, but never met in real life before. We met on the internet in an online game. About 1 year ago I introduced him to the beautiful world of crypto currency and blockchain technology. He’s not into tech like I am and didn’t understand the concept at first, but after a while he was very interested. He was very intrigued by Bitcoin as a decentralized money system. In November last year we both started to invest in other Crypto currencies. After a while we saw that you can make good money with crypto trading - and lose a lot of money too! We both had lost about 30 per cent of our initial investment, but we kept strong and believed in the technology. Then in January 2017 it began to pay back. The people who have watched the market in the last 6 months probably know, what was going on. The crypto market exploded. Bitcoin went crazy and then crashed and went crazy again the last 3-4 months. So did the rest of the crypto market. So we both made quite good money out of it. Currently we are out of the day trading thing and just invest in coins that we think have great potential for the future and value to people. (including Steem of course).
On Tims birthday he send me a message that he want to relax and that he’s really stressed out and exhausted from the crypto trading and he's going to go on a holiday trip. So he went to the airport and booked a last minute flight to Fuerteventura. After I found out that he's actually travelling alone, I said that I will come with him. And although we both live in Germany (approximately 600 km apart) we travelled 4000 km to Fuerteventura.
After arriving almost 10h apart in the hotel we saw us for the first time. It was super spontaneous, but it was a great time. We relaxed at the pool or at the beach and talked about cryptocurrencies and our lifes.
The funny thing about posting this on steemit is that eventually the increasing Steem price in the last few months technically paid our short vacation trip.(technically because we are still hodling most of the assets)

Thank you for the great time, I hope we will see us again :)
