Who am I?
I’m Abdihamid Siraji, a student from Kenya with a strong passion for finance, cryptocurrency, and technology. My journey started with a deep curiosity about how money works and how I could create financial freedom through trading and business.
My Learning Journey
It all began one evening at a café with two of my friends. At the time, I was focused on online selling and e-commerce, but cryptocurrency had never been on my radar. During our conversation, the topic of forex trading came up. My friends were eager to learn about it, but I had heard of it since 2022 and never thought much of it. I believed that physical work, like working from 8 AM to 6 PM, was the way to go. However, when I saw my friends’ interest in forex, I realized there might be more to it.
One of my friends mentioned that his brother had recommended learning about crypto, and that’s when I decided to explore it on June 2, 2024. Although my friends weren’t financially stable, it was because one of them really wanted to take a course but couldn’t afford it, which gave me the opportunity to dive in. That night, one of my friends referred me to a forex mentor. When I got home, I started researching both forex and crypto. My focus soon shifted entirely to cryptocurrency.
Before the forex course started, I unfortunately got scammed while exploring crypto, but I didn’t let that setback discourage me. If I had found a more comprehensive crypto course earlier, I would have likely focused solely on crypto and left the forex course behind, but I didn’t find one at that time.
By June 22, 2024, the forex course began, but I was also actively searching for a crypto course. I found a free course primarily centered around Bitcoin. The course started on July 22, 2024, and ran until September 20, 2024. It was a Bitcoin-maximalist group, and all we talked about was Bitcoin. The course also included a physical graduation ceremony where we received certificates.
Eventually, I came across an active crypto community, which truly sparked my journey into the financial markets. While attending the forex course, I learned how to read candlesticks, which opened my eyes to new possibilities. I later found a more specialized crypto trading course and completed it by November 2024. Since then, I’ve committed fully to cryptocurrency trading.
In addition to my interest in crypto, I’ve always been fascinated by software development. On January 5, 2025, I began my journey with HTML and CSS, and I’m excited to continue growing in this field. As of February 4, 2025, I’m working on my first responsive portfolio project. Soon, I will also have an e-commerce project to showcase.
My Future Goals
✔ Become a skilled and profitable crypto trader.
✔ Master software development and build impactful projects.
I believe in continuous learning, discipline, and smart investing
