Title: What did you do with you first Bitcoin?
Post by: ninjanips on October 31, 2012, 04:15:00 AM
For those that are trying to hit websites that offer free bitcoin or those that finally made a decent exchange for a service or a product, so now you got bitcoin in the bank! Did you spend it? Saving it? Flaunting it? Gambling it? What are you doing with your hard earned bitcoin?

I gave mine to help people in Japan after the tsunami. It's always great to see that after disasters, members of the Bitcoin community step up to help.

First BitCoin! I'm only 0.2 away from my first. I'd probably save it though, keep it forever as a keepsafe.

I can tell you what I did with my first LiteCoin though...well it's still sitting in my wallet waiting for some services to crop up.

Laugh if you must but I earned my first couple of bitcoins and then (thinking I had my backups sorted) replaced my OS and destroyed my wallet in the process ....  :-[

Lesson learned though - I've now got online/offline/onsite/offsite copies of everything ...

(tip for n00bs like me - once you've finished laughing at me, make sure you're 100% backed up)

Omg I did absolutely same thing, except that I did not care for bitcoin at that time, more knowledge came later  :-\
Then when I got my next one first one I exchanged it on mtgox  ;D

Always a possibility (wallet is backed up off-line). I'd be more upset over losing a ~$600.00 smartphone than for a single bitcoin.   ;)

I kept my "precious" btc a very looong time before messing around with AndroidWallet, and finally lost my coins during an androidwallet upgrade ... :)

I still have my first bitcoin to this day.  I started out mining via BitcoinPlus, then I found out about BitMinter.  From there, I kept plugging away until I got my first full btc.  I also took advantage of multiple faucets and as a result have over 5 btc.  I'm still saving it up though.  :)

First post on these forums! * Huzzah! *


My first coin was used to buy one of the minted coins with Holo-Stamp.

Tonight me and a friend are going to talk, see about pre-ordering some of those nice shiny Jalapenos Or perhaps a bASIC.


Who knows, I am excited!

Been hoarding since 2010, never spent/sold/traded a coin until a little over a month ago on bASIC devices and some gold coins. oh and I bought some honey caramels from beesbrothers, they're like an orgasm to the mouth.

My first coin I made on Satoshi Dice, I had 0.66 and I tried all night on 50% odds until I finally got over the 1.00 BTC threshold. I got all the way up to 5 BTC the next day, and lost it all. I was so pissed I opened a new wallet so I wouldn't see the transactions and total BTC received/sent. Lol

I was in it as a consumer, now as an investor. I think generally you can't go wrong investing in technology as well as other basics: food, sex, shelter, and fear. BTC does some of those things well
