Exchange, binance and others. Depending on my mood what to use.

- Early in 2018, around the first quarter of the year, at a meet up.

Time flies so fast, Bitcoin has lived for 10 years, and the FUD about bitcoin death has not stopped in these 10 years, but these FUDs have not beaten Bitcoin. Bitcoin survived tenaciously, we just experienced A terrible 2018, bitcoin price has dropped by more than 80%, but I still think Bitcoin has a strong vitality, it will once again restore its price at the end of 2019！

In fact, I heard the word bitcoin way back 2016 from my seatmate who already involve in the field of cryptocurrencies. I do not bought any amount of bitcoin I just earn it in my forum. When we experience bear market last year I lose most of funds. The highest amount that I gain in this forum is around .5 bitcoin. I usually blockchain wallet which is very safe and secure. I have few amount of ethreum and ripple.

The first time I got bitcoins with the quality of payment from the project and then I bought it on the exchange then it cost a little higher than $ 1000 to store bitcoins used the polonix exchange and the coinbase wallet. Were almost all altcoins on the exchange polonix .

Nice topic mate,this will bring good vibes to this new year for cryptonians

I will only answer some question because i only have few experiences here since i stayed for just a year here

I encountered bitcoin from a cousins presentations and the very moment this captured my interest

Highest price i bought bitcoin is $12,479 obviously im in a bit loss right now

My coins are

Bitcoin
Ethereum
Neo
Ripple

My tokens are

Infinitus
Policy Pal
Bx.bet

Happy birthday long time friend, you have not disappointed me as the growth I have seen since 2012 has been enormous. This 95% correction is just a tiny dip compared to how far we have come.

I hope the next few years will be even more amazing, and I cannot even fathom what another 10 ten years of crypto will do the world.

• When and where you encountered bitcoin.: Buying VPN service in 2012
• Lowest and highest price you bought bitcoin.: Under $10 from what I remember.
• Your highest loss and gain. Only the tax man and myself will know that. But ive lost keys before and it sucks, so there have been losses as well.
• Knowledge you get.: Knowing if you believe in something, even though 99% of people did not or do not care about it. You it can still grow to amazing levels.
• Wallet and exchange you're using.: Coinomi and Paper wallets. I try to stick to DEXs
• 10 altcoin/token you have besides bitcoin. Steem, Zen, Dash, ZRX, DNT, XLM, ALQO, LTC, WAX and MITH.

Especially for the 10th anniversary of Bitcoin we created infographic and dedicated site 10yearsofbitcoin.com (https://10yearsofbitcoin)

Cheers!

Happy new year !

I encountered bitcoin when my friend introduce me about how to make money online when we are almost go into graduating day. I never count calculate exactly how much i loss, but im sure that if i calculate for accumulation, i didn't loss so far. I'm using bittrex, okex and for wallets still using MEW for the most used wallets, i want to experienced in a hardware wallets by buying it but i think i need to more money after the last crash of the market

• I read about it since the beginning, probably on /. but didn't pay the attention it deserved...
• Most of my satoshis come from mining, I have to sell for fiat to buy food and pay bills...
• Not really much, once i felt i had like 2k, USD but now and I'm down to about 500. Sad isn't?
• A lot about this world Satoshi Nakamoto opened for humanity.
• Electrum and Poloniex, occasionally Binance and Bitrex.
• I used to have some Dogecoin back when giving them away for free was in fashion.. Sold them for BTC :D

Happy New Year to you as well!

I think that in the first 10 years of its existence, Bitcoin has achieved a lot. The success of Bitcoin is unique. I think Bitcoin has created a good foundation for the development of all cryptocurrencies.

It's really amazing that Bitcoin is running for a decade now!
 • When and where you encountered bitcoin - when my friend told me about this wayback 2015
• Lowest and highest price you bought bitcoin - my lowest price was at $400 and highest was $12000 but didn't afford to buy 1, only a portion.
• Your highest loss and gain - cannot remember anymore
• Knowledge you get - theres so many to mention but the one thing for sure is to earn without investing money like joining in bounty campaigns
• Wallet and exchange you're using - theres too many to mention too but mainly coinsph and mew for wallet then mercatox and forkdelta

happy birthday and happy new year bitcoin ... I am very fortunate to be introduced to bitcoin by my brother in 2017 ... until now I am still in bitcoin ... easy hopefully this year the bitcoin price will improve

Happy new year too.

> Saw it before on an app. Tried installing it, find ways to have it and learn about it.
> Bought? I think I haven't bought any BTC related. I would rather have alts.
> $2500 USD as gain. $3000 USD loss.
> A lot. That this industry needs more people to understand what blockchain really does and that its not all about the money.
> I have a lot of wallets. MEW, Coins.ph, NEO Wallet. As long as I need to make it, I will make it.
> I have sold all of them. Kept those which I can't really sell. Bitdegree, Coinlancer, Etainpower.

Agree as bitcoin is just starting its domination and it's too early to concede just because you loss. I know we haven't see its worst part and many things will happen anytime. However, all of these will be useless as long as you're a believer and you know that one day bitcoin will be less affordable to everyone while they're dying to own some. Kick it off buddy.

More decades to come for bitcoin. Cheers!

Bitcoin have pass 10 years but we still waiting when bitcoin price could growing up again, we have bought and invest at bitcoin when higher price, we will waiting when bitcoin is comeback to higher price.

You could say I know this bitcoin is too late because only one and a half years ago I started learning bitcoin.
From my brother who had already studied, I was introduced to this forum.
At that time Bitcoin had a value of $ 150 - $ 300 if it wasn't wrong, and then it continued to increase and added to my interest to study in the crypto world.
Only a few altcoins that I have and Eth accompany me.

my experience over the years of buying and selling bitcoin until now bitcoin can survive and develop so far I can benefit very much from utilizing the price movements of bitcoin and various other types of cryptocurrency. from bitcoin I have a lot of lessons and experience that I can get to be difficult to tell because it's too much.

Encountered it way back 2011 but I just get serious early 2017.

Got when the price is < $1K and sold everything at it's peak in December. (Not that big amount though.)

So far good gains for me.

Financial freedom. No third party in between.

Trezor/Electrum. Binance/HitBTC (earlier), OKEx

I only have ETH.

Bitcoin is indeed one of the unique technological advancement tool which has help bridge the gaps that existed in the financial ecosystem. 10 years now and bitcoin is still making online transactions easier and faster. Happy 10 years anniversary to the king of all cryptocurrencies.

You forgot to ask us for our private keys, our BTC debit card number and pin, and our cold wallet password!

• First heard / encountered Bitcoin in 2013
• Lowest = $100, Highest = $600
• There's only about 10 altcoins/tokens worth owning right now so this list should be the same for everybody...XRP, ETH, LTC

I have other similar questions for everyone:

1. What kind of emotion do you have with the past 10 years of life and the story of Bitcoin?

2. Make a toast to Bitcoin’s 10th birthday.

3. What day is the most impressive day, what happened?

4. Please freely imagine the price of Bitcoin in 2028.

I also wrote an article about these questions answered by many bitcoin users.

I got to know Bitcoin only about 2 years ago.
experience over the past 2 years, I think 2017 is the lowest price, I mean in 2017 there are many who complain about losses.
My knowledge about bitcoin isn't too far away, I don't really understand crypto. and keep learning.

To many more years to come :)

https://coincodex.com/article/2823/bitcoin-turns-10-the-tenth-anniversary-of-the-bitcoin-genesis-block/

With just almost a year on this forum, a lot of stories to be told but I rather keep it to myself. However, I can say that stories like mine is just common to every investors or bitcoin holders. Getting some losses in trading and having some hard time in decision making.

Happy 10th birthday to Bitcoin.
Okay, I will share my experience for the past few months / years.

    never managed to buy cheap, but mined quite a lot in the early days
    highest loss was when 50btc pool went rogue, wasn't much in USD at the time , but .... wish i had all that coins now :)
    learned alot about cryptocurrency and blockchain, keep learning and reading
    using Electrum and Trezor, blkockchain.com for small change
    don't HODL altcoins , just under 500$ amounts in eth,ltc and doge

Yehey happy 10th birthday for bitcoin. Can we now speculate about the bull run? I do not see any hype from the the admin and Satoshi giveaways? I do hope we can get something from them before this day end as the bitcoin or cyrptocurrency has been operating a decade already. Well best wishes for cyrptcocurrency and bitcoin. May it will continue to rise its market price from 3.8K to more than 6K USD per BTC.

We have nothing to worry about the future because we already survive in this market for 10 years and we can still go for more years so just relax and be patient, you can sell your bitcoin higher than your buying price soon. Always learn from your experience, its a mistake on your part but don’t give up bitcoin is good and it will rise again, let’s celebrate for now this new year for cryptomarket.

The last time I encountered bit coin  around 2012&, by then I wasn't sure it was going to be a future coin. I bought a allow price of around $300 a and a high price of $11000. I gained $64000 and lost almost $100000 in 2016.

I prefer blockchain for WALLET. Codebase for exchange

So far I only have
Lite coin
Dash coin
Bit coin cash
Ethereum
Dogecoin
Nem/ gem
Xrp
Monero
Cadano
Digibyte

Just a few.
U knowledge about bit coin not so braid when outcome to it's tech, but when it comes to stability, future, how overlap, block, mining, trading, and other ways where and how to get the alticoin, 100% knowledgeable.


But yeah thanks for celebrating the nakamoto project. Mr satosh nakamoto.

We celebrate the 10th year of btc.

Cheers

We should not expect very big from bitcoin and cryptocurrency for now, for it is just to recover from this falldown season of the market , but in the other side we have to congratulate bitcoin for its ten anniversarry and we hope it could continue its services to the people and give its best for the customers and investors.

This is a wonderful day and it shows that a lot has been done over these 10 years and Bitcoin has a future.

I was a bit more behind the curve for some but I remember hearing about bitcoin as early as 2011/2012 thanks to an NPR podcast where the hosts involved themselves in a bitcoin buying experiment. They were pretty crushed when the price fell from like one dollar to 25 cents, but obviously they'd be millionaires now if they retained their stash.

The second time I heard about it was when I listened to Andreas Antonopoulos on the Joe Rogan Experience in mid to late 2013. From then on I was hooked. The guy just made bitcoin sound so exciting and transformative, and he was right. I wonder how many other people here got the bitcoin bug thanks to Joe Rogan and AA... Hard to believe that was 5 and a half years ago now, time flies...

• When and where you encountered bitcoin.
I guess sometimes in 2011-12, I was designing a web-page and I saw bitcoin there. The site was something to do with Bitcoin
• Lowest and highest price you bought bitcoin.
Around $750 and around $10K
• Your highest loss and gain.
From 1.5BTC to 0.1BTC ish. And gain $750 to $16K
• Knowledge you get.
I think I need a whole new topic for this hehe
• Wallet and exchange you're using.
Electrum as wallet. Most of the reputed exchanges
• 10 altcoin/token you have besides bitcoin.
Oh a lot! ADA, TRX, DBC, ETH, ETN, WABI, THET, BCH and many more I can't even remember.

By the way, Happy 10th anniversary although I am late to the party.

I think you might have your dates wrong. But welcome to the community!

One and a half years ago (June 2017) the price of Bitcoin was ~$2,600. Two and a half years ago (June 2016) the price of Bitcoin was ~$600. And Three and a half years ago (June 2015) the price of Bitcoin was ~$250.

My encounter with bitcoin was from a friend as at then I was recovering from the ponzi schemes I had participated in and was duped so, I have no intentions of being a part of bitcoin not until I had him convince me of how true and real it was. My earnings form bitcoin has been fair enough, My knowledge I have learned a lot and am still in the learning process. wallets so far myetherwallet thanks

I really can't believe it's been so long. I think that bitcoin will continue to develop and bring a lot of useful in our lives.
I learned about bitcoin from a friend. The minimum amount for which I bought bitcoin is $ 100. I don't want to talk about big losses and winnings. Exchange I use the same as everyone else, wallet - blockchain.info, MEW. Besides bitcoin I keep Ethereum, XYO, UBEX, MVL and some other altcoins.

Everyone has their own story and according to this strategies some to then are good and some are worst but it  is because of their own mistakes. We should gain experience which is possible only by trying harder. The more you will invest at 20k will be good price according to  me. Right now is good to buy selling now is not good decision.

 My first encountered in bitcoin was year 2016 when my friend introduce it to me and they are telling me to try to enter in cryptocurrency. Well,  I can not remember what is the highest and lowest price I bought because I buy when I am contented to the current price. Everyday, I learned so much in cryptocurremcy because of the shared knowledge of other users. For me, I am using a good and safe wallet to store of coins and  I only have 2 coins in my wallet.

Bitcoin is now 10 years old, while I am a beginner here who just entered the world of bitcoin last year, and I am very happy to be here, because with me knowing Bitcoin my life has changed economically. Thank you Bitcoin, happy birthday for you  :)

happy birthday to the 10th bitcoin, the age is no longer young, the more mature and more successful,
happy new year also in 2019

I got to know bitcoin in 2017 when I worked in a city and I got a bitcoin at a price of as low as $2,300 and I risked my bitcoin at $11300 until now it hasn't returned,
to exchange bitcoin I use bittrex and the coins that I have other than bitcoin are Ethereum, Stellar, Cardano, NEM

This time passes so quickly ... It's been 10 years, and Bitcoin has done so much in the whole financial world! It is difficult for me to imagine what will happen to Bitcoin in the next 10 years. To the mooon!

Possitive news we can see right now that people wishing bitcoin will rise up again for this 10years of age maybe this year again we are waiting for is the year of cryptocurrency.

I could be in this forum thanks to the services of a close friend, he introduced Bitcoin to me about two years ago. I am very grateful to be here with all the systems that Bitcoin provides so that I can generate financial profits.

Bitcoin is still very young for a technology which has a great potential to revolutionize significant financial transactions. The developments, improvements, and useful applications of bitcoin are continuously developing as time goes by.

In 2013, I learned about Bitcoin. In 2014 I opened the account at the first coinbase. But in the year 2018 I first know about this forum. Then I went to work with it roughly. Then began to learn how it works and my interest goes out further. I first paid BTC $ 6,200 and ether ki 650 dollars. Then started the work in Bounty. I have not achieved any such big success yet. But after this I'll be working for this platform as long as I live.
Love bitcointalk forum,
love crytocurrency,
 Love blockchain

Like you I am also newbie in crypto world. I am so glad to know bitcoin cause it change my life from rugs to riches. I am only 1 and half year in bitcoin but I am here now become successful. I am so thankful and happy. I wanna say Thank you  Bitcoin for your help and Happy 10th year Birthday and many many more birthday's to come.

This is really nice and in 10 years it has changed a lot for people who had become millionaire and billionaire by now through crypto currency. It could potentially change the future as well if countries does approve and accept it as a payment mode in their country.

The first 5 years were massive, the second 5 were quite underwhelming.
Here's to another massive years, leading up to global adoption.

First of all I wanna say happy birthday to our honeybadger, Bitcoin! My wish for it is to achieve a new ATH in 2019! I had my first interaction with the crypto space in 2014 when I bought some GH/s from cex.io. Those were some nice times. :) I am buying bitcoin everytime I have some spare cash lying around and trading it currently on Deribit with my friend, "Lev". :))

I won't list here all the altcoins I own by I'll shout one thing: GO STRATIS!  :D

considering its achievements and all that has been done with the technology for over the period of time that the technology has existed, it is enough to have said that it has been of a great achievement and has solved many real life challenges and also creating more use cases on daily as a result of the advanced modification in the algorithmn. happy birthday is well deserved.

Like you I am also positive in this 10 years old of bitcoin in the crypto  market, I wish this year bitcoin it will rise his value cause many investor's waiting that also. We are here patiently wait for your increasing in your 10th year birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCOIN.

My expectations are great. Meanwhile, I do understand that several years can pass before Bitcoin grows tremendously. I am sure that we will witness the times when BTC can be offered for 200 thousand.

I think that this year will be the next year of Bitcoin and everything will be very good
