Binance launches ‘My Crypto Journey’ campaign, a collection of personal experiences from crypto users

To celebrate the transformative power of blockchain technology, Binance (the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider) recently launched the ‘My Crypto Journey’ series, a collection of inspiring stories from Binance users in Africa, showing how blockchain and crypto have impacted their lives .

Over the past few years, Africa’s interaction with cryptocurrency has established some of the most important use cases and opportunities for greater financial inclusion for people in the region. To showcase this, users shared their crypto journey and how crypto has changed their lives for the better. Over 1000 users across Africa shared their journeys and detailed their experience with crypto.

Ebony, a 27-year-old freelancer in Nigeria, shared her experience growing up in a financially struggling African home with very limited means and how she found crypto to be the way out of poverty.

“Crypto has helped put food on my table and for that my family and I are grateful”, Ebony stated.

Ebony’s journey started in 2018, when she came across a Facebook post explaining how crypto could potentially change the world – this was a defining moment for her as it was the turning point that saw her out of what she describes as a low point in her life. When the post piqued her interest in crypto, she did some research and watched videos on YouTube to better guide her on how to begin her crypto journey.

From that point on, Ebony shared that Binance was the “pivotal point of her crypto journey.” The blockchain giant is trusted by millions worldwide for its security, speed and robust array of innovative features. With the company providing free crypto information (to crypto newbies and enthusiasts, Ebony quickly learned that Nigerians could trade on Binance’s P2P platform (to receive naira into their bank accounts directly from the Binance app. Ebony added that she was excited to begin this journey ) because Binance not only has excellent customer service, she could trust that her money was safe, as security and user safety compliance is a top priority for the company.

“Since I was already poor, I took a chance on crypto. It doesn’t matter if I don’t become a millionaire, I just needed a little boost.-Ebony, 27

Ebony’s life has changed for the better since she discovered crypto. Not only has she escaped poverty, using crypto has also opened her eyes to the limitless possibilities that digital assets offer. As a whole, crypto has raised her confidence and status in life. Now, Ebony is using her story to motivate others to take advantage of the financial opportunities crypto offers and help others along the way.

However, to start any crypto journey, Ebony advises that education is essential. She believes that if you keep learning, it will pay off. Not only is Ebony’s journey a testament to the transformative power of crypto, it demonstrates the truly decentralized, accessible nature of the technology.

The lifeline blockchain technology can offer is without borders or limitations for Africans, whether it provides greater financial access, supplements income or helps build lifelines, the technology enables financial inclusion for millions.
