It's fascinating how some of us have gravitated towards each other. Not in the way we have but rather that we have. I think the outlook and what drives the really motivated individual in this space, the ones that are able to build stronger communities with less, is what is similar.

I have a different relationship with my family than you have but also lost my mom at a slightly younger age than you. I can't help but think that our ability to see opportunity and limitless possibility is influenced by the experience of losing them both at young ages.

We know our time is short and that how we spend that precious time matters. So we dive in.

Head first.

Glad to know you friend.

First heard of that Pixel thing via Whaleshares. Really caught my attention as something that could foster deep community connections and following through on complex projects. Disappointed that it's yet to manifest into more.

Amazing. In so many ways, 'living the dream'. Incredible achievements already and yet on the verge of something truly special for EOS, mass adoption of blockchain/NFTs, and Cryptowriter. Will be fun looking back in a years time.

Thank you for this in-depth and highly personal insight to your journey and how Cryptowriter got to where it is today.

We’re still so early in the crypto/NFT space, there’s everything to play for.

You should be extremely proud of the strong community you’ve built here.

Ten years from now, Hollywood will release ‘Cryptowriter the Movie’ and your character will be front and centre in the story.

Keep doing the great things you’re doing.❤️

What-a-story!! I'm impressed by the landmarks in your life. So sorry to hear about your mother, yet it is nice to know she encouraged you in many ways.

Building a community isn't an easy process, you and Sean accomplished this one very well, and I'm glad to be part of it. It seems like you have done many thing in these 5 years, but I think it's only the beginning. I recently joined here (have been here only for almost 2 months) and I know that together we will see this community out reaching beyond its borders.

It's nice to see you are supporting the community by considering your background. It feels nice to be rewarded by being active. At first I was delighted because I was getting the Finney coins, but now I don't care about the quantity of reward, quality is what matters. The quality in this sense to learn something. I think you are rewarding the people and the community by your articles. Thanks for building the Writer and not giving up on the idea.

Btw I think your language is quite fluent. I enjoyed reading the entire thing, and I hope you will participate in upcoming podcasts. None will judge you as how you look.

Also, maybe Sean will share his part of the story in next episode? That would be cool :D

I'm in my third week at Cryptowriter. I have read more than 40 articles and expressed my own opinions. I can say that I enjoyed reading this article the most. Sorry guys :D

I enjoyed reading it from beginning to end without getting bored. Great story! It's no surprise that the founder of such a beautiful project has such a beautiful story! I'm really sorry about your mother. But it is very clear how well she raised you. Rest in peace.

Cryptowriter project itself is very cleverly constructed. It's really nice to be rewarded for interacting. Thanks to you, we meet new people and learn new things. The feeling of owning Finney Coin and other NFTs is much nicer than the monetary equivalent. Rather than the rewards you give, what you give us is actually a much greater reward for us. I am really happy to be a part of this project and to learn from you.

I loved the project and you so much. I am sure that I will be with you in everything you do. On behalf of everyone here, thank you very much. We trust you and the project, and we are sure that it will come to a much better place!

I read your article by listening your cover video in the back. It was much more enjoyable!

Thank you very much for this beautiful article, for every sentence you use and for bringing this project to this place. We are definitely looking forward to the continuation of such life stories!

For a man of very few words, if any... (usually leaves me on read, like a pissed-off GF). I was pleasantly surprised at just how much of 'Kenny' was revealed. The in-depth look at the man behind it all. The brains, the looks, the dyslexia. I enjoyed the way you painted the picture of the journey which lead you to where you are today and how you grew from a pleb videographer to founding the most pleb community the world has ever seen.

Not going to lie, when you mentioned Sean and the idea inspired by SBNation I legitimately thought momentarily it stood for Sean Ballent Nation. Would have been a cool story. Anyway, Good chat.

So, here's the thing. Everything always happens for a reason. Except for voice, that was shit. Moving on. Watching you bust out that tasty riff would have had me very excited back when I was a 16-year-old girl. You have talent, not one I would have known if I had not read this article.

Well I enjoyed learning more about you and I hope you reply to me one day.

My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7. But she don't know you like I know you Kenny, no one does. She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta reply me man. I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose.

Sincerely yours, Kent

P.S. we should be together too

Pleasure to meet you and get to know you better brother , Love the detailed story and Love how you ended with the guitar solo

I think it's fair to say we all have the same vision here and believe in you and the team 100% and we all together believe in Crypto , NFTs and the future of the space as a whole. The communities we build today will last forever

First of all, I would like to say that I am sorry for the loss of your mother.

But you held on to life very tightly and developed yourself very well.

I appreciate it.

I was wondering about the cryptowriters story and I found out today.

Cryptowriter is the community I find most friendly in the Nft community.

I just finished reading this great story.

It’s fucking amazing to be able to know what had to happen in order to live this incredible project.

I’m very happy of knowing a little bit more about one of the big brains that run Crytowriter !

I’m hoping to see more about the rest of the team soon !

Also: following the multi-layered design I notice that maybe we get a gaming and fashion writer

I’ll be more than happy to be part of those 😉

I found your story very inspiring. We all love stories that start with challenges but eventually achieve success. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, who was the starting point of your story. But the way you look at this on the bright side and your solidarity with your father deserves a round of applause.

I like to be inspired by the stories of people who are interested in art and have an eye for art. I am still very new in this business, but I believe that we get better as we follow each other. I just want to say that I really like this clean perspective on crypto. Your art and clip too :)

I enjoyed reading your story, thanks for sharing.

Let's go!

I realized that you have high self-esteem.

To the future with Cryptowriter.

Hey Kenny

The Story Of Your Life is just like some movie which attaches us to each and every character sometimes

The story was going well and that sudden change of the Story from your happy life to your mom health and when you told about your Mother i was really really sad 😔 (Sorry for your loss) Losing someone important in our life can just take us to 2 paths the first is right path and the other one is Wrong one and thanks to god that you chosed the right one and moved on with the reality 🙌

Your story made me happy and sad both but the hardships in your life will teach Many of us to move on and do something extraordinary in life.

( If i wrote something wrong Please don't mind and i am sorry from my side 🙌 please correct me too)

This is such a journey man. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, there's nothing harder then losing a parent, and at such a young age. This story is so inspirational, and I'm so happy to be apart of the CW crew. This take guts to write like this about yourself and you did an amazing job.

Thanks for this article Kenny ! Long Live CryptoWriter.

Hey Kenny! I hope you don't mind me inspiring by this narrative. You have a very full life and that's INCREDIBLE. Life gives you both bright and hard times but keep your chin up sir. The cryptowriter community is the result of your hard and patient work. We are here to support you and adore the things YOU created yourself.

Thanks for sharing personal to me that means a lot. Prayers for you and your family. Stay focused and have a great one.

As excited as reading a book, as curious as watching a movie.

I felt they were really alive when I read it. I tried to feel it.

School, where you live.

I opened your guitar video from behind. I turned it down a little and read it again. Much more beautiful.

Your story, your life is beautiful. You've had some difficulties. I'm sorry about that, but you got over it.

Where you are now is the head of a great community. You united us. You gave me the opportunity to meet the beautiful people here. I think you are great.

Many thanks for everything.

Hi, Kenny. Your life story is very interesting. There's been a lot of cross-roads. At every crossroads, you cling to life somehow.

You've faced a lot of difficulties. When you lived a beautiful and trouble-free life, you suddenly dealt with dyslexia, death, financial difficulties. To achieve their goals.

After all these difficulties, it's great to build such a great community.

I'm very impressed with your life story. I thought my own life was hard. I've seen that greater success is achieved with more difficult lives. Thank you very much. An article that will guide me.

Although it is difficult, experience is sometimes necessary. Of course, it's easy to say without living, but it makes you strong.
