Tell us about yourself — who are you, where are you from, what do you do?

Hi! I'm Pritom Paul from Bangladesh, and I'm currently a student.

How long have you been into crypto? How did it all start?

I got into crypto a few months ago. I was playing a game, saw an ad for CT Pool, got curious, and decided to give it a try. That's how my journey started. I'm still learning and exploring the crypto world, and I'm excited to grow with the CryptoTab community.

How does mining fit into your life? Which crypto do you mine and why?

Mining is part of my daily routine. I like exploring different coins, checking my progress, and staying active. I mainly earn Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), and HSH from CT Pool.

How did you find CryptoCity, and what made you stick around?

I discovered CryptoCity through a CT Pool promotion inside the app. What surprised me most was the active community and fun events. My favorite activities are the quests and contests, especially the mystery puzzles.

Have you won anything so far?

I've won $10 in HSH and a Pool Miner. It was a really exciting moment, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

What does financial freedom mean to you? And where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Financial freedom to me means having enough financial stability to make my own choices without constantly worrying about money. In 5 years, I hope to be more educated, financially independent, and build a successful career.

What's the most unexpected moment in your crypto journey so far?

Honestly, discovering CT Pool through a promotion and then actually becoming part of an active crypto community. I never expected that first step to lead to winning real prizes.

Is there something most people don't know about mining?

A lot of people think it's only about powerful hardware. But understanding the technology, choosing the right setup, monitoring performance, and staying consistent matter just as much.
