By the end of 2013 I decided to begin my trip into the investments industry considerating it an oportunity to create a second income. And it was in the earlies 2014, thank to the job I had back then, that I decided to take the frist step with my first investment in the Crypto Market, I realized this market was the big chance, due to its possible huge impact in the financial industry in the years ahead, even though for most people it was just a bet and not secure assets, but something was for sure, at that moment I was becoming a pioneer in this industry in latin america without realizing it. By the end of 2017, I decided to create a Crypto Investments Academy through the social media network, getting well known through 2018 and 2021, participating as speaker in different congresses and conferences around latin america teaching and sharing my experience, thoughts and knowledge. We never know it all, this is something a learned in this industry, where everything is changing year by year, so that's why the education process never ends, so we have to keep educating ourselves in order to improve our investments and decisions. Today, I feel very proud to be part of the Smart Capital Broker team, as a reward for these past 10 years of hard work and consistency.
