Welcome! This blog documents my personal journey into the world of crypto — from a complete beginner with no experience, no financial background, and no clear destination. It’s a hands-on experiment, a learning journal, and a place to reflect on what’s working (and what’s not) along the way.
I approach this with healthy skepticism and cautious optimism. I’m not here to preach or teach — just to explore, experiment, and share as I go.

Stay tuned for more posts as I explore DeFi, wallets, staking, scams, and everything else that comes with being a newcomer in crypto.
