From a day job to a crypto job (a Bitcoin life-changing story).

I've spent most of my early 20s into getting a college degree. After graduation, I got a job in healthcare. The pay was great and working hours were horrible. I would spend 9-11 hours a day at work, not to mention having on-calls 6 to 7 days a month. The job really had no taste or any lifestyle in it.

Before I got the job and right after graduation, I was introduced to crypto and was fascinated by it since day 1. I would take away 30-40% of my salary and put it into crypto, reading about it in my spare time. It was really March, 2019 when I decided to leave my day job for good. I went on a journey to explore cryptoland. I would spend most my time on Reddit asking questions and answering some about crypto. I would raise awareness in my own community, and help my friends set up their wallet and purchase a fraction of Bitcoin. I had no pay, I was living off my savings. I've left everything for crypto and crypto had nothing to offer to me.

Later on, I came across a crypto exchange that put up a job position in customer support services. I applied for the job even though it required a bachelor degree in business and having experience in the field of support services, I had neither with an unrelated degree. I kept coming at them. I've sent them 5-10 emails, applied to their position through all platforms that had the job, and even talking to them through their support service telling them more about myself, I would always throw my name at the end of every conversation I had with them to let them know I was the same annoying guy who talked to them the night prior.

One day, I get an email telling me to come for a job interview, I've spent 4 hours being interviewed by all co-founders. The time I spent watching documentaries about Bitcoin and global economy helped me alot to impress them.

I got the job. It is remote, night shift, and 7 hours a day. The best part is that I'm getting paid half what I used to make. Half without the horrible long hours and hospital sleepovers. without having to get up on the morning hoping for the day to finish.

I am happy now. The team is great and I'm enjoying every moment.

Keep taking risks till you wake up in the morning to do something you love.

Is blockchain.info anti Bitcoin?

When I ask for a 2014 address I used in the past,

it shows ERROR for BTC and its shows the address for BCH.

What happened here?

EDIT: I don't use their wallet. It is just for exploring the blockchain.

You should not use ANY WEBSITE as a wallet.

Are you curious about RealmX, the mobile game with a built-in Bitcoin Cash wallet? I made a gameplay and review video! =)

Have you had issues with the Bitcoin.com wallet today? Unable to view balance or connect to the network? I have a fix for you.

I figured this out on my own after I noticed the wallet wouldn't connect.

After seeing this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/dai8jc/bitcoincom_wallet_now_not_refreshing_my_bitcoin/ I've decided to post this thread to help others fix this issue.

You might notice today, some of you had issues in regards to the Bitcoin.com wallet having network errors. You couldn't send, receive, or view your balance in both BCH or fiat.

To fix this follow these steps:

Click on the wallet in the app
Click on the settings icon in the top right
Select "Wallet service URL"
On the wallet service URL screen, click the "refresh icon". You should notice the URL change.
Save changes
Exit out of the screen and go back to your wallet screen. In the bottom right of the balance label box, click "Tap to refresh". You should get an error saying you need to create this wallet on this Bitcoin wallet service instance.
Press "tap to recreate"
It'll recreate your wallet on this BWS instance.
If needed, press "tap to refresh" again to sync your funds.

You should be good to go!
