Hello, my name is Gerardo Moran.

I'm an 18-year-old Salvadoran fresh out of high school, where I was lucky enough to graduate from @MyfirstBitcoin_ #BitcoinDiploma.

Moran revealed that he had worked since he was 11 years old, mostly in construction and tourism, and he would never have understood how Salvadoran citizens worked so hard for little reward.

"I tried to figure out why people in my country work so much for so little money," Moran said on Twitter, adding that he doesn't work for much money at all:

“Making $6 a day building was no longer an option for me, so I quit not knowing there was an opportunity ahead.”
