It was simple, really. My parents tried starting me off simple with a credit or debit card (they all look the same). However, banks either were disappearing or fees were stretching us too thing. So I barely had a chance to prove myself as being worthy enough to have a bank account when the whole system was falling apart around me.

You also gotta remember that this was at a time when cryptocurrency was still novel. People may have questioned it, sure, but it was still seen as something that had potential. Back then we didn’t have the hindsight we have now.
