why are you onchain? for me it's the community and freedom here i got onchain in 2021 after I got dropped by my sponsor for not making the tokyo olympics the crazy thing is i actually jumped the standard to go but there was too much wind behind me so the jump was considered 'illegal' after getting dropped i decided to 'sponsor myself' through NFT's i drew and uploaded a collection to opensea one by one called afrochicks my collection sold out, i wore the nfts on my kit when competing and shouted out the owners i felt a crazy sense of belonging and i stopped feeling as though i wasn't good enough cos i am unsponsored and not an olympian (yet) i have stuck around because here i have true support and freedom to post whatever i want i've also noticed people here have more belief in others which is nice and makes me believe in myself more the onchain community has literally changed the trajectory of my athletics career i 100% would have quit in 2021 if i didn't discover it :)

I wanted to support a woman in the Philippines that I knew from my time there and the fees for bank transfer fees cost too much. Found Bitcoin, sent her money. Lost a bunch to scams and it was too much for me to handle so I stepped back. Came back briefly in 2017, then fell in love with the idea of NFTs and web3 in 2021. Have been trying to find projects and people that are worth my enthusiasm. Found a bunch (including you!)
