Do you remember what it felt like the very first time you sent out a Bitcoin transaction to another address in your life? For some, it might have been an easy thing to do, especially for the geeks who were here when Bitcoin was born and it had not been valued and traded against fiat currency as following soon after, yet for others it can be very confusing to get things right.

Were you filled more with happiness, excitement or fear when you clicked that 'send' button? And in which year was it when that happened? Did it it turn out just fine, did your transaction arrive where intended?

It was a long time ago, somwhere in 2013 but I remember that I was very exicted and afraid at the same moment because I wasn't sure if I'm doing everything right, will the transaction reach destination or will I lose my coins. I was new Bitcoin users and I felt like I'm part of something brand new and revolutionary. It felt good.

I remember reading for hours and hours how it worked and sent myself a few cents. I was scared I was going to screw it up and lose the bitcoins I finally had figured out how to collect. Wasted some time in faucets just so I didn't have to invest anything. In hindsight I'd've just bought $10 worth and screwed around with them rather than wasting hours on faucets collecting portions of pennies at a time hahahahaha!

I first send it in the latter half of the year 2016. I had entered into my first ever transaction. I just did not know how it would work, the guy had sent some address and I was trying to wonder how and where it would fit. After googling for a while, finally figured where to input the address. Since I was sending a big amount for the first time, I was bit nervous finally hit the send button, and contacted to the other person and he is like he did not receive it. Imagine my horror and the few panicky hours post that. Thanks to God, he finally replied he received it, and I came to know this transactions take time, can never forget it.

I'm not really sure when is the first time I sent a Bitcoin and what was it for, but as far as I'm aware is that my first transaction was sent to bought an airtime credit for my phone. And of course I was really nervous that time, I didn't want to make a mistake because I was scared that I would send my Bitcoin to the wrong address or with a wrong amount. That's why I checked the address again and again, and also the amount of the transaction.
And luckily, it ended well for me. The transaction wasn't sent to the wrong address and the amount wasn't wrong, then I successfully bought an airtime credit for my phone.

At first, I was very nervous doing it, because I was told any mistake made cannot be reversed, so I need to read the instruction several time before clicking send, but excited when I saw the transaction confirmed. A very good experience of have

Going back on the past when i was a newbie ive used to earn bitcoin through faucets and i could say i learn things and the ideas because of that thing.When im earning already the first time i send amounts on other address is giving me a happiness and a little bit nervous since it was my first time.

I was mostly nervous since I knew that if I did a mistake I will never see my coins again so I checked the transaction over and over again I even checked if the address was correct, and then I hit send after some minutes it got a confirmation and that is when I realized how easy it was to use bitcoin.

That is what I experienced also, I was so nervous cashing out my first ever earned bitcoin it is just same feeling during my graduation day, although it is just small amount I am proud that I earned bitcoin with that I became more interested in earning more bitcoin especially in trading. Yes, I don't earn yet from trading now but I am looking forward for it in the future.

I first sent some bitcoin to an investment site and  it was a mix emotion of excitement and fear,
I was excited cause it was my first investment and I was afraid it might be scam or I might have sent it to a wrong btc address.

I don't really remember the date but it was march 2013 when my first bitcoin transaction to send money in gambling sites of course I feel scared at that time because I'm new to it and think that the money i sent will not be delivered.

I remember my first transaction in bitcoin was also for investment,
I was happy cause the money that I have sent was from some faucets ,
and I was just thinking that even if it turns out to be a scam its ok I just got that money for free.

I sent my first bitcoin transaction back in July 2015.
At that time i didn`t know the difference between a bitcoin,bit and satoshi.
I wan`t aware about confirmations and that kind of stuff.Anyway,it was awesome.

i remember when i was send my bitcoin for the first time for my local exchange because at the time i was so fear the transactions wasn't confirmation or my bitcoin will never appears to my account because copying the wrong address but all went good because it doesn't happened and after 1 hour my transactions was completed confirmed

I don't quite remember the first time I sent my money away but the very first time I make a transaction to buy coffee is etched in my memory. It was a few months ago when I found a coffee shop that accepts bitcoin and decided to give it a try. It was an exciting experience to make a bitcoin transaction in reality after a long time earning it, I was like a kid getting his candy for getting good grades  ;D

well, that has lasted for three years, and I still remember it. My first dealings of bitcoin is of freebitco.in. Well, I am very happy at the delivery, and certainly it amounts to very little. but it is my first bitcoin transaction, and it is the first time I do transactions on the Internet. so, I still remember it.

I can't remember the exact date/time when i have sent my first bitcoin out of my wallet, but i think i have sent it to gambling platform to play some dice. At that time price per coin was around 300$ and i have lost so much bitcoin those days in dice site, i actually feel sad when i think about it.

yeah it was pretty exiting moment for me and it was a long time ago and the amount for transaction is almost 0.2 bitcoin...... and i think it was almost 2 years ago.......

Yeah, it was a transaction to dump my first coin earned via mined, i'm regretting it now, because i remember i dumped it at 60 euro, it was before the pump to $200+ in april 2013

well at least i leanred about exchange(sent to kraken at that time) tx fee and everything, was more of a test than dumping actually

Not only the first time but every transactions I've ever made, feels something like an o**asm :D especially the part when it says beep!

I do remember the first time making the transaction. From the wallet created in Blockchain.info I send an amount of 0.001 btc to the friend who introduced me to bitcoin with the auto fee option. Instantly on seeing the transacted amount under unconfirmed transaction got to know what bitcoin wallet is all about.

Time passes very fast, it was on 15-12-05 that I received my first satoshi, they were 0.00010752 BTC.




For me it was normal


I spent days to gather significant amount of satoshi and when I sent bitcoins to someone. Was normal, the fact that I spend all day entering my wallet, collecting satoshi in faucets, made me somehow gain experience.

One thing I consider good ... use faucet! If you use faucet for a few days and you have wallet of blockchain.info. You will not have trouble sending bitcoin to anyone.

I remember that. I wasn't sure how the whole process works so I was checking all the time if everything was right and if transaction was confirmed. I think that every passionate bitcoin user remembers his first transactions, that ment entering in some brand new world.

I cannot remember when I sent my first bitcoin transaction but I do remember the feeling.  It is kinda exciting but worrying because of some thought that I might made a mistake and there is no taking back those BTC.  Some how am a bit hessitant until I fully checked the address and the amount since it wa a payment to some service and I need to send an exact amound stated on the form together with the address.

Me too mate am so nervous because a friend of mine who introduce btc to me always reminding me that if i mistakenly send my btc to anybody it wouldnt be recover back so im so focus and i keep checking the wallet address where i will send my btc after all the transaction has been made that day i feel so good and thats the start of my interest with bitcoin investment.

Yeah when I bought a cup of coffee I just scanned the store's qr code and bam! Amazing

First time I had to pay online with bitcoin because the other payment options were not convenient for me I knew so little about this payment system and nothing about confirmation times. So I bought my coins through localbitcoins and before open my first wallet I paid and the bot of the site answered something like " to wait for a while and drink a cup of coffee". It was so weird because I thought it was a complicated process. So when the shop accepted my payment after a while I understood the potentiality of bitcoin as internet money.

The very first time I sent a transaction: it was here on bitcointalk, to whitelist this account. I remember it was 0.00007756 btc by that time and I thought it was a scam of some sort. But after understanding everything I was able to send the money and start joining in discussions. That 7.7k satoshis helped me gain knowledge with bitcoin more than what a Google search could offer.

I don't remember, because was some good years ago.

But either was to test how wallet works, or to receive some payment for something.

One way or another, for sure was a small amount, not enough for me to feel something special about it

Couple years ago,i seen an video in youtube that guy is making money just by leaving computer on 24 hours a day, then i tried to mine bitcoin with my computer, i felt that i was wasting my  time because at the time already faster bitcoin mining chips was in the game, i got couple satoshies then i transfered them to blockchain wallet just for curiosity, again i felt that i was wasting my time, more years passed and now i make a living from bitcoin, most governments try to keep you down when you start business, they take allot of profit, well there's good rules in United Kingdom, people can not pay taxes years, it gives them time to become profitable, but with bitcoin i pay no taxes, i want to become bigger player to start paying them, i will not pay anything untill i earn a couple millions in bitcoin and have local business.

I was afraid of sending to wrong address because I saw a friend was so sad when he sent bitcoin to a wrong address, so I checked a few times the address before sending. you know, I almost memorize the address because I saw it many times. haha. that was so funny actually.

Well I would say it was nerve cracking moment because I wanted to see how it was going to reflect in my account that I've sent it and it was actually to pay for a sports bet and it did go through as I expected and the rest they say its history. I've been transferring and receiving with ease and confidence.

I can't remember the first transaction that I did but the feeling is the one that I can't forget. And in fact, I'm always feeling that way when I'm sending bitcoins to other address. I feel scared because I'm thinking that I might get wrong for copy and pasting the bitcoin address that I need to send. And it's get more scary when I read some statement here that they were tricked upon copying their address, when pasting a unique and other one showed up. I don't know if that is for real or just a troll.

First time , I'm feel excited since I can convert my 0.02 into fiat on 2014 !

I need 5 month to collect 0.02 but I was happy that I can got amount. Sometimes, I set lowest fee transaction that lead me into unconfirm status for many days  :-\ but I have learned by experience why that can happen , etc

Sure I can remember it as it can be tracked through my first bitcoin address. My first was few years ago when I sent some bits from my blockchain wallet to an exchange wallet.
I was so happy at that time because that's the first time I could exchange my collected bitcoin from faucet, giveaways, and others into fiat money. Even though the amount was not that big but the happiness is more than the amount ;)

Yes I remember that first transaction which I made. It was the beginning of my adoption when I got some amount of bitcoin in my wallet and then I decided to sell them on exchange and to use it for my needs to feel the use of bitcoin as a currency. So I send that amount from my wallet to exchange.

I really don't, because when I got bitcoin qt, I had 0 BTC.

What's funny is, the first cryptocurrency I ever used was Dogecoin. I was lucky to mine like half a million DOGEs back in the day. I sold them for like 0.5 BTC, that was a great deal, I was lucky enough to get involved in the early days of mining that coin.

Since then, I didnt bother with mining.

So sending those DOGEs to the Cryptsy exchange was my first crypto transaction experience ever. I will always remember DOGE.

I can't recall at all when my first transaction was. I spent most of what I made so I didn't bother keeping the private keys. I wouldn't suggest it.

 The first time I earned bitcoin here in signature campaign I was so excited to post it in social media for my friends and family to see it, that bitcoin is real and that you can really earn through bitcoin. And the first time I sent bitcoin am so nervous that I can't received it. But I received it after 30 minutes then I bought foods for my family.

I was happy because it was more easy than i though. Understanding the transactions was another thing  ;D

Yeah, off course because it was my first time, when i did bitcoin transaction. Because i have a fear of lose my coins, and feel excitement, because i have no enough trust on it and secondly i thought may be i did wrong because in that time, i really didn't know confirm transaction but when my bitcoin transaction complete than i was happy with my first step of bitcoin.

Yeah i can still remember the first time I sent my Bitcoin to an exchange address.  I was worried that I might do it wrong and my BTC gone.  The moment I sent the amount, I checked the exchange but crediting is a bit delay so I did not see the transaction, that worries me much but then I check blockchain.info and I was relieved to see that I just send the Bitcoin to  the right address.

I certainly do. It was actually a PrimeDice deposit of a few bucks that later turned into dozens of bucks. It was my first "achievement" and at the same time the first time I ever gambled in my life. I remember the feeling I had when I sent my money, I felt like I just sent a thousand bucks.. :D

Yeah, I do.
It was a transaction to sports betting site and the match was about to start.
So after copying the address and sending the right amount, I was just keeping refreshing the blockchain transaction page looking for confirmations.
I can't remember when it was, but it was at least four years ago.

At first I was doing faucets so the money were transfered to my wallet automatically every week or so, without me doing anything. Then I managed to win over 100k sats on a dice gambling site and when I was withdrawing that amount that was my first bitcoin transaction. I remember that feeling of fear before hitting the button. I was afraid that the money might just disappear going to the wrong address. 100k was big money for me then, I had to work faucets for two weeks to get that amount.

I dont remember, it was so much time ago, damn, it feels like bitcoin has been here for an eternity. Bitcoin is just so cozy to me now.


I actually feared that I have pasted the wrong address and I will lose money. However I still fear to this day ,even though Base58 has like a 1 in biliion chance for not filtering out invalid addresses.

The odds are low but are still there. But a virus in your memory can still show you a wrong address, and you end up signing a transaction that you dont really want to. That is scary.

I remembered the first time after I had read a lot about bitcoin and the likes. It was the first time I would earn a sizeable amount to convert to Fiat. To say I was anxious would be an understatement. What added to it was the fact that when the coin has been sent, then its not reversible in which I was not ready to lose after considering the effort I had put in gathering at the end I was surprise by how fast and seamless it was then but now, I have learnt and now feel less nervous.

to me as i remember that i did bitcoin transaction to a mobile recharge service providing form (bitrefill), and when i got the refill i cannot explain in words that how happy i was at that time. in fact it was my first ever achievement using bitcoin. i some time remember the felling and still it make me more excitement.

I think i'd made my first transaction to a blockchain wallet/address which i'd earned from coinurl. they used to pay really good amount back then heh.

That is some what a similar case with me,i started bitcoin because of the ease to send money to gamble once in a while and the first transaction was to direct bet as i was interested in sports gambling at that time and with time i have changed my goals and aims but i still do gamble but transaction delays is a major factor now while playing live games. >:(

It really just felt like a click of a button to be honest, but I'm not sure what exactly I should expect. Now the first time I received bitcoin in my block chain wallet is a different story. That sweet little bing sound that you hear when you receive, oh it's glorious.  ;D

I remember when I first received a Bitcoin transaction, but I don't remember what I was sending my Bitcoin to when I first spent some.

I think a lot of it was just saving up, and then I got some precious metals off of a website that was accepting Bitcoin at the time, and I think they still do right now. I should go check sometime.

I can't remember exactly when I send bitcoins first time and who was receiver. I only remember that I checked very carefully to be sure that I send to correct address and correct amount of bitcoins.

It's actually superb experience doing that for the first time. I used to send bitcoin for the frist time in a trading site named c-cex. In that case, that is also first time for me to trade in crypto currency exhcnange and that is the best moment in bitcoin. I was nervous at that time since I don't know if it would works or not because the confirmation is confirming so long, I gues because of volume of transaction of blockchain ir because of the trading site.

Mmm, yeh.  I was much in tha same noob boat at one time mahself.  Cain't remember the specifics, tho, an' it ain't important.  Ah tried it out wit' a faucet, I know that.  An' it weren't too long ago, neither.  Naw I'm sendin' bitcoin like thet ol' pro troll MANYPROOFS.  No relation.

Well, it was on 2014 if my memory serves me right.
I was afraid, anxious and confused at the same time.
Was checking over and over again to be sure that I am sending the money to the right address.
It proved to be okay, so I continue using BTC until now:)
Great experience.

I think my first time when i sent a Bitcoin transaction is in 2014 maybe in january or february!
My first transaction is generated by web wallet blockchain! Which i got few thousands of satoshis by playing games on android and BTC faucets.
Wish i start to send my gain to directbet for gambling. I enjoyed gambling.
Now i use Xapo. which there is no fees of transfers here.

Cool, while your story is similar to the story of many of us I remember reading a story about someone sending a transaction of several bitcoin because he did not know the difference between a mBTC and a BTC.

The first time I sent bitcoin from a wallet to a exchange wallet feels nervous, I don't know if it will work or am I sending it at the right address. It takes me about few minutes to do my first transaction and I never thought that it was recorded in blockchain, so I really don't have an idea before that I can check the tx.  :D

After receiving the amount on my exchange wallet, I was amazed, and feels like I want to try it again.  :D

I can remember the first time i actually bought something with bitcoin and liked how easy it was to scan barcodes etc to send money but i cant for the life of me remember the very first time i sent from one address to anoother apart from the initial buying of said bitcoin.

I remember that I was so nervous when I sent my first transaction from my desktop wallet. ;D I wasn't sure about the fee, I was afraid it was so low that I won't get any confirmations and my transaction will be in limbo forever. I didn't want to pay 20% fee on a small transaction (the amount my wallet suggested me to pay), so I lowered it to 5%. You can imagine how happy I was when I received over 60 confirmations within one or two hours and my payment was accepted within tens of minutes. :)

Oh well, my first bitcoin transaction was a success, I follow each step that I read in google... If I remember correctly the second transaction that I made was from Land of Bitcoin that time, which lately close and then faucetbox... But at first I really feel excited, and double checking the address if I write it correctly ( I really mean I check each letter and number ) to be sure...

After receiving it, I just want to keep on doing it if I have an amount until I learned that the price keeps on moving up and down, so I decided to send bitcoin atleast 2 weeks or more...  :D

Were you filled more with happiness, excitement or fear when you clicked that 'send' button? And in which year was it when that happened? Did it it turn out just fine, did your transaction arrive where intended?

I couldn't remember tho, as the first time i starts to use bitcoin is like 2 years ago i suppose. As compare to online banking where you xfer the $$, it is immediately xfer but bitcoin is a different level thing. Tbh, when the first time i sent i do feel unsafe because remember, there's no way for you to revert a transaction once you sent the money out, that's the fear whenever i sent btc to address of people.

I still remember it clearly the first time I sent a bitcoin to my bitcoin address , Actually It is not big ,it is more or less 0.001 which is the minimum payout in the faucet website I get into ! There is a big excitement in me when I first sent that to my address I thought I am going to be rich later did I found out that I didn't even earn half a dollar on my 3 months job thru faucet well it didn't stop me there until I found out about bitcointalk and earn a decent amount of bitcoin every week  !

It was a mix between excitement and a big fear! :D The excitement was obvious, because it was my first crypto currency transaction and I felt like a part of something bigger. :)
The fear was exactly because of the same reason like yours, because when you do a mistake, you can't take it back. :P

Yes I remember clearly as it was a good learning curve at that moment.
For my first transaction I bought a coin, pretty huge for just testing it out now that I look back at it.
I checked everything multiple times, like reading the whole address and so. New to this I figured out it would take approximately 10 minutes before I got my coin as the average blocktime was 10 minutes. So I waited 10 minutes....
nothing....
waited some more....
nothing....
started sweating and recheck the address in my wallet and on the site I bought it, they were the same.
was I scammed?
still waiting...
nothing...
Something wrong with how do you call it the blockchain?
browsing... no news
still waiting...
confused...
Did I do something wrong?
still waiting.....

it took 97 minutes before next block was mined... and immediately i had my coin in my wallet... sigh the longest 97 minutes in my btc experience. Ok I had to wait longer on confirmations but back then I didn't no anything, so yeah I will never forget my first transaction.

The first time I made the transaction was the year of 2013 in the beginning .
My whole earning was from the faucet collection from freebitco.in . This site was very famouse at that time when the site was paying most then I entered in the bitcoin. , because at that time the price was very low but 1/3 of the current price .
When I send it for the fiat from the the person  then he said that this is very low amount And I can't give you money in bank you can make recharge of mobile top up . At last e made a recharge of 2$ .
That was a feeling of doing something strange than other in my community but still I was in fear that to sell bitcoin is a very hardworking job .

Yes! I cannot forget the first time I sent a bitcoin transaction because I was scammed that time! I joined something that we called "Online Paluwagan". It is a first in, first out kind of thing! At first, I'm receiving my payment but after a few transactions, the business has turned closed and the owner ran away with all of our money! Cursed them!

Feel sorry for you bro :'( I was in the same situation too but it was not my first time making a bitcoin transaction, which was when my friend introduced me of bitcoin and I bought a small amount of bitcoin and try sending him some. I've lost some of my bitcoin into the hand of these scam sites and yeah, the same thing happens over and over again, they ran away with my money and after many of being fooled, I've learned the lesson.

The possitive thing about your very negative experience is, that you obviously didn't loose your faith (or at least interest) in bitcoin. :)
Many of us came in touch with some kind of scam sometimes (me included), but we should take it as a lesson for a future. 8)

YesI still remember my first Bitcoin transaction It reminds me 2 years ago when I am desperately needed some additional income my friends ask me to do his assignment for him and he said that he is going to oay me using bitcoin ! sounds funny but its true ! after finishing his assignment he taught me how to create a Bitcoin wallet and immediately he send me some funds over there and teach me how to convert it to fiat ! I am amazed by that event and I am become curious about it so until now I am here and learning more and more about Bitcoin

Ive been with bitcoins for already 2 years and I still clearly recall my first Bitcoin transaction, My mother told me to send some money to our family that living far away from us , as I wanted to save some fee I research for the most possible way to send the money with the lowest fee , Research redirect me to Bitcoin at first I am still in doubt but I heard lot of feedback that It is safe so I buy some bitcoins and send it to them and teach them how to encash it and that's my first Bitcoin transaction

I still remember that moment it was about 2 years ago, i joined in an investment program which i only knew in fb through my friend. well i was excited because thats my first time to join in something like that and fortunately i earned before the admin ran away with the money of investors.

Well the very first time that I have tried the transaction with bitcoin I felt like I have accomplice something big that is the most satisfying experience that I ever felt in my life, but after that it is just very common now and a transaction with the paying bills part was a very forlorn part that I have made, but yeah it will always began in the first time that you have no knowledge over it!

I remember it vividly. Here's how it goes: I decided to invest my precious btc to a btc investor site. Got their wallet address and then I click "send". My btc then went to 0. After a few minutes I checked my account in the company and still it's still not credited. I got nervous and then doubts sets in. Waited a few more minutes and still not there so I panicked and don't know what to do and its already like 1:00 am our local time however I can't sleep because I don't know what happened. However, I decided to check blockchain.info to see what going on. Only that time that I understand that I have to wait for few more minutes or hour to get my btc to my btc invest account. So I took a nap and then viola, it was already there. I was so happy then so the next time I try to send, I just stay patience and not worry about it like I did the first time.  ;D

Yeah, i remember because first time when i used bitcoin into amount transfer, i was confused because i didn't know aquorate way to amount transfer but when i did it than seriously i thank to God, because i was worried may be i lost my coins. But nothing bad incident happened. 

It was around 2015 end I assume(I wish I am not wrong)
I felt that I was not doing the right thing and I very so damn nervous that you can't imagine.
I was a very tough situation for me and I felt that I am being too much risky with my money.
At the same time I was a bit excited too because since the childhood I have been in a habit of taking risks.
But when I got them traded and I earned a small amount of profit I was really happy.
Since then rest is history I mean I have been kinda addicted to bit coins cause they help me earn a handsome sum of money.
So this was the story of my first bitcoin transaction.

Actually,really quite hard to remember the very first time when sent a Bitcoin transaction.But should be it was a long time ago, somewhere in 2015.As a beginner of bitcoin industry it was very interesting and has been a wonderful experienced also confusion to, just remembered.

I am not sure but I think it was promotional activity by 99bitcoins where they were distributing some satoshis for bitcoin newcomers in order to learn more about bitcoin. I actually sold a domain name before that point in bitcoin but I asked escrow to convert it in USD for me so I missed the bitcoin transaction at that time.

In surely remember it. It was the time that I am buying small quantity of load product from my friend . He taught me on how can I pay him by bitcoin and That time. Ive sent him the payment . In first it is so tricky cause all things that is appearing on my wallet is first time for me amd I was confused about the wallet address.

Yea , it was the most scary transaction.
Like I had to pay $7 , so I did all the procedures.
Then at the end it said pay this certain amount at this so and so address.
I was feeling very scared to send that huge amount like so casually.
But then I gained confidence and then I sent . The amount went but nothing poped up.
But then within 5 secs , is said that the transaction was successful and that was a relief.
From that day I make transactions without any problem.

That was less that a year ago when my boyfriend the first time send me bitcoins to I buy something for myself on online shop. I was nervous, cause bitcoins didn't come immoderately and that time I was very skeptic about bitcoin so I felt a bit scare to this money just get lost or some hacker catched it.

I remember the first time when i send the bitcoin it's actually from my first wallet that i've got from faucets freebitcoin and moonbitcoin, when i was embraced bitcoin for the first time i read many articles about blockchain and how miners verify the transaction and it makes me think that transaction with bitcoin is very complicated then i sent the bitcoin well sending bitcoin is not hard as i thought and the fee is very very low, well i had funny experience i was in debate with seller i didn't know that i should wait my transaction to get confirmed it's funny when you transaction with paypal and move to the bitcoin.

Yeah, i remember my first transaction. It was actually made on January 2015 from coinbase (https://blockchain.info/address/15zLFJqBvfZ2F2hxKp1Ljx16vktUvoZpT1) account and i got those bits from faucets only!

I remember i have to check the bitcoin address I am sending to multiple times. I will read the first 5 characters, and then the last 5 characters. And check it again, reading it backwards. I was quite uncertain if I am doing it right because no one taught me how to do it. Fortunately, I did it right. The next time I sent bitcoins, it way lot easier.

None of the above. Sending BitCoin was as easy as 1 2 3.
I wasn't excited or unhappy. Sending BitCoin I think right before I bought something and just wanted to pay in BitCoin, so I did. It felt just like spending money online with a debit card, because basically it is.

Now that you speak of that it reminds me of my second transaction when I was about to send a very small sum of money and the transaction fee was double what I was going to send and I thought it was very expensive until I found out the transaction fee depended on the size of the transaction and not in the amount.

I still remember my first transaction as I sent it to wrong address as it was my first transaction and I was bit confused and by mistake I sent it to some third party, I was fortunate enough that amount was not too big but it made me more focused and now before sending my bitcoins I check and recheck the address as now I cannot afford to loose even a single penny of it.

I still remember the very first time I made a transaction it was only last year. I felt nervous because I am afraid to make a mistake but when I made it successful I felt so happy. I am having fun in learning new things and I believe on myself that I can make it cause I am a geek guy.

Absolutely, I remember I purchased ~$160 worth of LindenDollar @ virwox.com (I used paypal for that, didn't heard of localbitcoins yet), and then I converted LindenDollar to btc and sent it to btc-e. I was so nervous because I didn't know if I'd lose my 'money'. The bitcoin deposit was finally visible in my btc-e account after 30-min, it's a good time  :)

yes for the first time i sent bitcoin at hyip investment site and i am regret now because when i sent it i am still newbie about bitcoin and investment, i can decide to sent my bitcoin to that site because my friend telling me that he get big profits i am so stupid that time and that amount is big for me around $200

i still remember the time i sent some of my coins to pay to the load i purchased from someone i knew. and that was my first time too. so i copy and pasted the btc address to where i should send the payment. copy paste - DONE! setting the amount - DONE! So as i was about to send the coins, im a bit confused if the address is right because im afraid that i might be entering the wrong address or added one letter to it.. so what i did was i compared the addy that i pasted to the addy he sent, every single character then it matched. so i decided to press the send button then boom! sent! so i waited for him to confirm that he received it, after he confirmed then i felt such relief.. even these day, whenever i send something, i always double check the address.

I remember when I first sent bitcoin to an address, I have checked the address for almost 10 time, read one by one character of that wallet address. It feel so weird to send your money without verification name like bank account.
And for the next transaction, I do trust my self, with just copy and paste the wallet address can't make one character change  :D

I first transaction bitcoin in the wallet blockchain because many who recommended I sending it to the gambling site, when I gamble online there are some sites that use bitcoin and it was a new thing for me and then I tried it and easily passable.

Someone sent me some bit, then realized he sent much more than intended and so asked me to send half back to him. Well, at least I got to try both transaction a few minutes apart. :D

First bitcoin transaction was with my blockchain legacy wallet and I was trying out a bet on directbet and I remember losing as venus williams was beaten in that match :(

Exactly I didn't remember the date but my first transaction made on 2016. Since I'm new to bitcoin on that time because I want to invest bitcoin to earn, I cash-in money to my wallet then I convert it to bitcoin. I am very curious on sending my bitcoin on that time cause I don't who received it and then I tried but it's ok.

I feel sad about that time because my hard earned bitcoin will go out of its home(wallet) but I just dont mind it for long because I know that I've used my bitcoin for good and apparently I'm benefiting of it until now but now I dont have any regrets of any transaction as I'm always double checking whether the address is wrong or not.

I think my first time that i sent my bitcoin are comes from faucet and a tried to topup load my phone using bitcoin that i thought bitcoin is not real but i received my load and thinking that bitcoin is real until i eawrn more satoshi in faucet and try to invest in investment site and cloud mining site that i did not know that they are scam.. but i learn about my mistake and now i found this forum i learn more about bitcoin and now i know who are scammers or who are trusted..

that's what i believe , most people start know about bitcoin through a faucet.
they collecting for weeks then able to withdraw all of them and then the first bitcoin transaction made to your wallet.
don't know where to spend the first bitcoin and cell phone top up services is the most available service that time .

I do not send out bitcoins too often, mostly receive. When receiving my first payment from my first signature campaign about a year ago, I was very confused and nervous. I was pretty unsure of how bitcoin worked at

the time, and I was constantly checking my wallet to see if the "pending" notification would disappear. I was very unsure of what this meant, and I thought I did something wrong.

        My first time sending bitcoin was to myself in my Poloniex account, where I was looking to invest some bitcoins into an alt coin. It was pretty nerve racking, and I was scared that typing in the wrong address

would lose the bitcoins I put in for ever.

I remember my first transactions with Bitcoin, I transfer the money from my xapo wallet to my wallet on blockchain. Only 20.000 satoshi that i find it from very terrible faucets. And i had worried my little bitcoin sent as well or not, sure fear to click 'send' button. But around 10 minutes my 20.000 satoshi receives in my blockchain wallet safely.

I remember that bitcoin price was about 300$ and that it is now 3x bigger so i see really good opportunity for keeping money in our bitcoin pockets and lok them for a couple of years.

nothing, I just felt a bit excited and nervous at the same time almost the same feeling when I am receiving my first satoshi from faucets that time I was a newbie and sending a certain amount to some investments makes me feel excited and I was expecting some thing good in return and eventually become frustrated ;D it was 9 months ago if i'm not mistaken when the first time that I sent a bitcoin transaction .

I don't have a clear memory of the first time I sent my bitcoin because it was not as exciting and thrilling as the first time I received my very first bitcoin. It dated back when I first joined the bitcoin world and I had no idea of what to do so I tried those typing captchas sites. I didn't earn much but the feeling of getting only just a little amount of money had driven me crazy like I had done something great ;D

My first time was in I think 2013 as well. I think I was sending some money to a friend, and before then I had only really received money (I was trying to earn as much as possible). It's funny to look back, I checked about 10 times that the address I copied was indeed the right one, because I was so paranoid that i might lose money by accident. I kept refreshing the page until the transaction was confirmed 😀

The first time ever i did a bitcoin transaction was when i sent my bitcoins to localbitcoins.com. I was working abroad in Dubai at that time.It took nearly half an hour for the transaction to get completed. I was very much excited and eagerly waited for the result.It was during MAY 2016.The transaction amount was around 0.30 btc.I saw the transaction fees to be low when compared to other currency exchanges.

I remember vividly. It was a gaming purchase. I always wanted to buy this particular game and I purchased it with bitcoin. I loved the feeling of it.
Ever since that when I need to buy something digitally I tried to look for bitcoin instead of credit card. Its more secure and much faster. Hell I do not think anyone would use fiat if they knew how easy it is to use bitcoins.

Edit: Wrong thread

The first time I sent money was to sold my bitcoin to my friend, it was an excited moment and i keep on checking the transaction confirmation, I checked every 5 minutes to see the confirmation, and it arrived to my friend address in 30 minutes, it was a good experience the only trouble was I need to check my friend wallet address few times to make sure I didn't make any mistake

A lot of new bitcoin users tend to get confused when it comes to sending bitcoin for the first time but luckily for them they don’t have that much at first so it is not a big deals if they got it wrong for the first time that way they can become more cautious when it comes to bitcoin addresses and sending money.

I do not remember exactly when I made the first Bitcoin transaction, but it remembers blokchain and you can always see when it was, for that we love this technology, the immutability of the results and complete transparency in operations.

Yes it was to Mt.Gox - 5 BTC. This was a little before shit hit the fan over there though.

Wow, okay! The "beep" part is referring to the online wallet on blockchain.info, I suppose?

From the amount of enthusiasm in your post one could guess that you send and receive transactions of very high value... or you just like Bitcoin so much that an incoming transaction of 0.001 makes you go nuts.

The first time that I sent a bitcoin is when my cousin borrow some bitcoin because he needed money, I told why does he want bitcoin because I have real money to gave you, though he said he don't want and he wants bitcoin that's why I send him, I was very nervous that I did let him check his address a couple of times. It felt really cool after that and its like you really want to do it again and again.

I remember at the time to test the send bitcoin the first time on the trading site, whatever was in my mind was worried I do not get my bitcoin, and bitcoin lose me, but apparently my guess was wrong and I managed to send me to the first bitcoin trading site with no problem

it was long time ago, i dont remember exactly. I just remember i bought some miner using bitcoin, i was very curious how transaction work and then i got some point

I don't remember my first transaction sent. I do remember my first transaction received, however. Someone, I do't know who, sent me small tip of 0.0001.
It was in 2013/14 but certainly not during bitcoin high price period, so BTC back then wasn't that valuable. Still remember fondly this random act of kindness.
People rarely send any tips through Bitcoin network anymore. Fees are killing BTC tipping business.

Recently I had a quite scary experience with bitcoin transaction. On Tuesday morning, I sent 0.016 btc with preset default Electrum fee (it was 50 satoshi/byte at the moment). Then after 48 hours of waiting and tracking my transaction on blockchain.info, it suddenly dissapeared and I got a message "Transaction rejected by our node. Reason: Transaction was previously accepted but has been pruned from our database.". I thought the funds should come back to my wallet, but after 72 hours, nothing has changed. I needed to send that amount, so I decided to send it again in another transaction with much higher fee (140sat/byte). After I sent the second transaction, the first one suddenly changed and it showed I have 1 confirmation. I went to check it to blockchain.info and my first transaction was there again, despite the fact they wrote it was removed from their database. Then, after 10mins, both of the transactions were confirmed.. ??? Oh bitcoin, you make my hair go grey. :P ::)

Yeah I remember, it was not that long ago, 18 months ago and to be honest I was nervous since sending to such a weird address, full of letters and number was new to me, I remember checking the address over and over again and finally I sent the bitcoin, it was not much bitcoin, it was something close to 50mBTC.

I can't really remember every details of my first transaction but that was a very small amount when I was very new to bitcoin and was earning through faucets. I wanted to start trading with the little amount which I had earned in faucet. So I sent my bitcoins to them.

Since I had used coinbase, I didn't have to pay fees to the network, that I remember! It was mid 2014 and the bitcoin price was really low at that time. If I had bought some bitcoin that time, I would have become a rich man today!

Let me refresh my memory, I remembered the first time I sent a bitcoin transaction was of course the excitement and joy is being there in my heart, it was such a wonderful experience to earn in online in the internet. Then not engage in networking system. So it was very thankful to God during that time.

i was sent my first bitcoin transaction to buy my mobile and i was feel too much better and safe with bitcoin and bitcoin is really safe transaction and now i using bitcoin without any worry and bitcoin is a great digital currency for new generation.

I remember it like it was yesterday, but really it was at the end of 2015. I had just learned about Bitcoin from one of my friends who was an early investor, so I started going onto some faucets and earning a small amount of Bitcoin. Soon I was at about 0.01, and my friend called me up and said there was this website where you could make free profit, at the time I didn't know it was a ponzi scheme, but after I deposited it became apparent. Luckily for me, I was able to make some profit, but I am never going to put any money into a ponzi website ever again.

I remember my very first time I think April 2016, well I'm not using blockchain wallet, I use different wallet to send all my funds to a high yield investment site and I'm so happy sending funds because I think my money will grow forever that will make me rich LOLs, before I think there is no such thing as scam in bitcoin world  ;D , but I experience that *beep* sound (that sound from blockchain wallet) everytime I withdraw my funds from hyip site that really give a relief feelings because the profits will surely be sent to my wallet  ;D well that's my experience, now I'm NOT using any scam hyip ponzi websites   :)

I still remember my very first bitcoin transaction and that was in the month of january and i transfer my earnings in a faucet site to my web bitcoin wallet and that was an excited feeling because that was like a stepping stone in pushing more and earning more bitcoin and now i am here earning much better amount of bitcoin than faucets.

I remember mine is when I'm trying if I can really cash out my btc ,so I transferred it into my bank account and surprisingly it takes 1day to process that I almost yell at my friend who recommends btc ,though its my fault I didn't read that choosing my use bank will really takes 1 day.

yes for the very first time i got a small payment from one of my friend who himself had introduced bitcoin with me. and i had sent my first transaction for hashocean's cloud mining.unfortunately my payment went in vain as the site ran away.

Remember it well. I used bitcoin to pay my vpn provider. I was surprised by how easy it was and how quickly it got approved. As soon as I sent the bitcoin, the page refreshed and a confirmation of payment was there. Now I use bitcoin to pay for many online services.

I really can't remember the very first time that I sent bitcoin. But I remember the first time that where I earned my very first satoshi's. I'm not really into first time's and I don't find it memorable when it comes to this type of transaction. Why would I need to take note and mark the first time I transact with bitcoin and when I did it.

I also forgot the first time I sent/receive bitcoin but I remember how excited I am when I received as well as when I converted it to our local money.
It is just a small amount but that motivates me to earn more and to invest my time here rather than doing social media with nothing in return.

The first time i sent bitcoin is when i want to withdraw bitcoin from some exchange (i get some alt coin for free). I remember checking so many times to make sure that the address is right. I was really nervous that time, afraid of doing it wrong and lose my bitcoin. But all went good and i got the bitcoin about 20 later.  :D

I don't forget my first transaction in my bitcoin wallet because that is the first time i experienced to get scammed by someone. I invest to person he promise me that my investment become x3 after a week but his lying to me after i sent the bitcoin in a minute he blocked me. That why i never forget my first time transaction.

haha oh yes, and I remember being paranoid and reading, copy/pasting the addresses a couple of times in order not to make a mistake :D It's wasn't any big amount, a small one but the with very large significance to me. :D

I forgot actually the right date and exact time regarding on my 1st bitcoin transaction but as far as i remember it is from faucets which i made a transaction to transfer those amounts on my own bitcoin wallet and the truth is i feel soo nervous on my 1st transaction.

Yeah, me too ;D My first time sending bitcoin was more than a year ago but it is still etched in my memory. It was when I started paying some interest in bitcoin and wanted to interfere in this cryptocurrency world, and I had got a little from faucets, it was about a few dollars but it meant a lot to me. And it took me a while to only transfer the bitcoin from faucet sites to my wallet ;D I kept rechecking the address, I even checked every character, every number of it to make sure I copied it right ;D

I first had to stand in line for over an hour in a bank just to 'buy' those bitcoins from a local exchange.  :(
Then another hour to reread every instruction I could find on how to send.
And then this as well:  ;D
Then it was on to blockchain.info waiting and checking if I got the confirmation. And making sure the address was correct.

Plus, another time I probably won't forget, the first time I personally calculated and set the fees for a transaction. :D
Spent quite some time with the calculator, then double checking the formula and the suggested fee/byte at the time. I remember I was quite proud of myself then. Haha.  ;D
Memorable times.  ;D

Yes I do remember very vividly when I sent my first amount of bitcoin and I was surprised to see how quickly everything happens and btc is reflected in receipients account.
Unfortunately that was a ponzi cloud mining site and being new to btc, I fell for there lucrative plan.

Yes i remember when i pay 7 btc for Radeon 7590 :(

First time I make transactions using blockchain is to verify account from a particular forum. Previously, i get it from faucet system with profit results that I don't know how to calculate it. Once verification complete, I was surprised that i transfer entire amount of Bitcoin only for verification !

I realized that faucet doesn't produce many bitcoin, I actually left faucet afterwards.

Most of the persons when they start in first time transaction mostly they are nervous or excited, because it was experience of online amount transfer and no one like to lose their amount, and also bitcoin amount transaction is not too much popular. So everyone feel excited when they do first time.

Yes, that movement was very exciting. I remember my first bitcoin transaction. I had bitcoin in my casino site account, and I withdraw my coins to my personal account, I was waiting for confirmation once the coins arrived in my wallet I was so happy. And one more thing when I convert my coins into fiat currency. This movement really awesome once I sold my coins I keep on calling exchanger and asking still my money not deposited. After 1 day they deposit money in my bank account that day also i was very happy. 

I donated a small amount to Max Keiser's Cigar Fund because it was the first public address I encountered. It was somewhere in early 2013.

I was not filled with fear not a chance. I was so very excited and couldn't wait to transfer this cool new internet money. I wanted to ise btc because I couldn't get PayPal and btc you dont need any info and it just made more sense to me plus its all hi tech and cool and I'm a geek so I obviously will want to be into it. Anyone into computers and tech knows and uses bitcoin. It was very exciting times for me.

Of course I know that page, but I don't check it everytime I need to send something and personally I think that 180 sat/byte is really high fee, especially for smaller transactions. You should use this fee if you want you transaction to be confirmed within one block, so lets say in ten minutes. When I need as fast transaction as this, I check the page and set the fees higher of course. But I just wanted to do a regular transfer and waiting for few hours was okay for me, so no need to set higher fee. But I really didn't expect it will take more than 3 days and that the transaction will be removed from the blockchain.info database. I have the newest version of Electrum installed and yes, there is the scroll option, but it is set on 50 sat by default, which I don't think is sooo incredibly low fee if you want your bitcoins to be transfered within hours.

Yes, I think I remember :)
I earned some bitcoin in my wallet, and decided to invest in one online business.
At that time, I couldn't pay with my bitcoin funds, so i had to transfer bitcoin through wirvox exchange service to my Paypal account.
It took me a lot money for fees so i learned my lesson well.

It might not be memorable for me. But I can remember that I was also excited to earn bitcoins by that time. Though I'm earning very tiny amount with faucets still that doesn't make sense for me. And when I found out that I can also exchange it with fiat money, it's the best feeling that I was able to buy some foods from it.

i still remember my first time transactions when i earn satoshi from faucet, not much amount but i feel happy because i receive my coin on wallet

$20 worth of coins bet on Argentina during the world cup, guess you know how that ended

I dont feel excited or nervous during my first transaction but I am rather curious as to how the system works. I am very impatient at that time and wanted to absorb the technicalities behind the transactions. It is a pain in the head to understand the technical terms including the hashes ans the algorithms that are being used by the miners and developers. But it was fun and after my successful transfer I become lively and challenged at the same time.

I could only remember the anxiety of not missing any number in the address or sending  it to wrong address. I sent it to an exchange for trade. it took almost 30min before it was confirmed, I spent all the time reloading the page. It was a funny experience

yes for the first time i had sent a test transaction to one of my friend and it was about $0.5 and I had sent that just to test the bitcoin transaction for the very first time.

yes i think not only bitcoin transaction but everything that we do for the first time we feel reluctant and hesitation. but after some time become use to with it. as for the first time when i was going to do bitcoin transaction it was a new thing for me and i really feel something that happen as it was my first ever transaction.

The very first time that i was sent a bitcoin transactions that was year 2015. It was feel like nervous and excited because I dont know if it will send right away. Its likely with an excited feeling though.

Curiosity can't really be removed and I also test it out on how fast does a bitcoin transfer could be done and you are right it's really pain on the head regarding to those technical stuffs when we encounter it from the very first time.

The first time I made a bitcoin transaction was from my old wallet to my current wallet, and I remember I was hyped and thought that I made much because my wallet didn’t display how much in USD my balance was but when I did send it to my Xapo wallet I was disappointed because it was less than a dollar because I got it all from the faucets.

I think the very first transaction that i made is when i paid my friend for allowing me to take loans and i did it using bitcoin. In that time, all i know is to buy bitcoin and just another kind of back up money so i don't know how to grow my bitcoin and i'm just using it as another kind of currency to pay my friends that are far from me.

The very transaction that I maid is when I buy prepaid load using bitcoin. And guess what I earn it in faucets so I am very happy that time because that is for free and I earn it. But now I am earning and making transaction in bitcoin in new and very diff. way because I earn a quit large bitcoin and spending it in my needs. So my very first transaction is a very small amount of bitcoin only and now it is quit large it is growing and growing as time pass by.

The first time I send bitcoin was December 2016, I sent the bitcoin to my poloniex trading platform for trading. I could remember after try to calculate the amount I want to be in my account and the charge. Then after I click send I went back to my poloniex Account to see if my transactions was successful and when I see that it was successful I feel happy.

in middle of august 2015 i am sending my bitcoin from local exchange market into poloniex and bittrex to expand more market and i am not having any trouble of this. after my first sending a bitcoin, i am often to send from one wallet into another wallet and i think i clicked with easy and i feel excitement but sometimes i feel i am not fine or fear to sending the amount into another site like make deposit into cloud mining or else.

No I don't remember my first time sent a bitcoin transaction because too many transaction from faucets site  ;D
and the transaction are small amount, I don't want remembering the last transaction because that were fast
although the transaction could been tracked, but it is mean waste my time looking for the small transaction.  ;D

As many users, my first earning too was from faucets. Also it's very small transaction which was withdrawn to the blockchain.info wallet. Everything looked like a dream when I got those amounts visible in the wallet. Later on slowly got moved to signature campaign.

Yes. Apparently it was the first time I summed up all my courage and bought some bitcoins. From one of my old friend and started trading with it. One of the best decisions I've made in my life..
