Mine has always been the same story, someone offered to pay me in crypto and no other option was given, so I had to either decline the job or accept crypto. I said "what the hell, whats the worst that could happen" and accepted it, and I got paid in bitcoin, over a decade ago. Obviously, the fool that I am, I did not keep any of the money, and I am in huge debt right now and poor. You will not meet with too many very poor people who has been in the bitcoin world for over 10 years, I am one of the few ones. Lucky me, yeeeeaaaaa. All jokes aside, ever since that day, I have been involved with crypto one way or another.
