Bineta Ngom, Senegal

I got into this sector through Bitcoin. It’s a long story but I’ll sum it up in a few lines.  It began on April 2017. I worked as a secretary in a school, but this job did not enchant me. I wrote a business plan for my project and started to search in my family for people who could help me finance this project but apparently I was the only one who believed in my project.  I joined a MLM (multi-level marketing) business that an old classmate had introduced me to, it was in order to get money I needed to self-finance my project.  Self-financing because banks have never been an option for me, I’ve always been anti-bank. But I realized very quickly that MLM was not for me, and through this experience I met the person who introduced me to Bitcoin.  He was Cameroonian, I told him why I was in this MLM and how complicated it was to find myself. He asked me if I knew Bitcoin.  I had never heard of this word. He asked me to Google it and come back to him once I was done.  Since then, I have never stopped studying Bitcoin and everything that revolves around it.  Yes, at first it was a way to make money; now it’s for a greater mission: changing the world.
