As a young man seeing the world of technology explode into vibrant creations of uniquity and true value. I tend to take a step back and reflect upon my current reality.. Thus, here's my prologue to our time together on Steemit and an intro on what to come. My name is James, I'm a Canadian boy born and raised brought up mostly along the Rocky mountains of B.C, IT was in B.C that I graduated, I was 17, the year was 2010.Seeing as since 8 years old i had fought against depression so after high school I tried to take life by the horns, I got a job, I applied for college. Things seemed to be going my way. Until at 18 I was in a serious car accident in which I got T-boned, after recovering from that the at 19 I was house invaded and beaten nearly to death by 3 masked thieves. They broke into my house and I tried to stand up for myself. In the end they left with nothing but me lying on the floor battered, but still conscious. I developed PTSD after that point. Imagine the whole world out there for me to grasp but my brain is terrified of it.The pain was real and wanting to die was a true feeling, but with work and a good partner ,4 years later, I've worked through it and things are back to normal, then In January 2017. All the bad was washed away with the birth of my son River. Bittersweet thing is that the life that i've had has left me broke and 3 years ago when I heard of bitcoin and It was teetering at around 500$ I had thought nothing of it. WELL guess who messed up on that. this guy. Now i see the light AND I've done my research. So no longer will I recluse, sit idly by as the world truly changes and the possibilities for my kin become visible. Thanks to cryptocurrency I have faith that I can put in hard work and capture a glimpse of happiness., and potentially crate a true nest egg for my family to thrive on down the road. I will be looking forward to discussing crypto with others, I want to make a dtube channel and really get face-time out there helping people understand both the future of currency, the future of social media and also to open an unbiased discussion and open place to talk about mental illness. Thank you
