Bitcoin Forum

Ever since I got to know about blockchain and cryptocurrency,  there has not been a day I ever forgot to go online and read about something new.
Cryptocurrency has completely shaped my way of perceiving issues and dealing with them.
I can now draw reviews from projects analyze a projects Whitepaper etc
In doing all these my knowledge base have increased.
Last but not the least it has introduced me to extra social media channels like reddit,  put extra income on my table by allowing me to make adequate use of my social media channels.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency has done me more good than harm

Crypto and blockchain take a lot of time from me. In the last few months, I spend 4-5 hours a day reading news, surfing bitcointalk or other crypto forums. Good news is those spending bring me some income. I'm not sure if it's good or bad tho cause there's some thing we call opportunity cost. I can spend 4-5 hours a day doing other things like learning some skills, invest in something...etc. Surely those useful things will eventually benefit me.

Cryptocurrency helped me in self-development. Just like you started reading more news, interested technology.
I also bought a mini pc Raspberry, where I started compiling wallets for pos mining. I tried myself like an investor and a trader, and all this thanks to the blockchain.

Yeah cryptocurrency have increase all aspect of our knowledge base and have help in shaping the way we leave and enlighten us more, unfact ever since I got into cryptocurrency my social and networks knowledge have increase up to 50% which is a good sign that crypto is a savior in all aspects e.g financial freedom and knowledge and skills.

Same here, cryptocurrency has done me many good things than the negative one. I'm really glad i can know about this new things cryptocurrency. I believe many people will say that too. Not only about money things, but also information and knowledge about crypto and blockchain technology.

I also think yes. Cryptocurrency provides more benefits than the loss for me personally. In this case, it might be different for each person, because everyone also has different experiences. However, what cryptocurrency is for you is how you treat, respond to, and develop your strategies and attitudes in the crypto world.

Since 2017 there hasn't been a day that I refused to read news about cryptocurrency and in fact I never for once stop,I did came across few harms but nothing too big but about the good side my answers aren't here yet maybe in the future because I'm still learning ,so far my rewards is not so encouraging

Like myself,I am started to use the social media for getting information after I am entered into the crypto currency before I was used to spend all those spare time on chatting with girls. ;D

And also the extra income from signature campaigns and gave me many ideas about how to invest my money in the profitable way.

As cameron winklevoss has said, the global financial system is changing before our very eyes. Even starting now is not too late, the good times are coming for hodlers

I have to be sincere to us. The reason why I am a bit good financially today was because of cryptocurrencies. I have a landed property today through cryptocurrencies. I was rewarded by being patience and hold for long in 2017 and when I sold some of my holding I have money that ordinary could not have made in 10 years from my job and that enable me to buy 2 land and a very nice car. I have also learned a lot from this bitcointalk.org and I wake up every day clicking on the link to this forum.

Even for me i gained lots while i was participating bounty was reviewing lots of projects . Could able to speculate market for some extent also able to get some part time income form social media. It is the biggest gain .

of course. everything should be happen in cryto if you learn and learn new strategies and tricks in trade. or you can learn to make a new token or coin for your project.

I can say good and harm at the same time . As good i mean it made me read quite alot , learn something new and hopefully make my future better aswell . As harm i would say sleepless nights in 2017 when the hype started , my nerves are dead as sometimes i think my emotions are dead now lol . And probably some little debt :/ But i like to learn from my mistakes and improve

In my own experience I think crypto brings me too much of good things. First in terms of source of income crypto brings me almost an regular income coming from crypto that now start to change my life. Because of that income now I have already got an installment lot. I also now learn how to value the money and budget my income.

Of course crypto currency can do more if you are going to use it for good and it will be horror also if you are going to use it for bad.
If you are still a newbie and crypto currencies help you to grow more then it is a good example that crypto currencies help you in a good way.

It's good because in crypto currencies you were able to shaped your way to perceive issues and deal with them but I am hoping also that you were able to gain some profit from it so you can surely enjoy the benefits of crypto currencies. You are lucky also that you were able to analyze whitepaper because in my side even if I've been in crypto community for several years, I still have problem in analyzing them.

I'm sure many people experience the same thing as you. Cryptocurrency has indeed had a tremendous impact, especially in the digital currency field, the use of blockchain technology, and its development. We are talking about the effects of cryptocurrency in general.
Cryptocurrency with blockchain technology and its development increasingly shows an extraordinary class and proven to have developed in various sectors.
At present, there are more and more cryptocurrency users, most of whom still believe that investing in digital assets is very profitable.
Indeed, of course, there will be risks such as losses due to losing profits or being scammed. However, it depends on our attitude and strategy.
There are many people who are able and able to get various benefits from cryptocurrency, especially getting profit by investing or trading, open their thoughts about the technology they carry, and so on. I personally agree cryptocurrency has been giving better things than the harmer one.

Since I came into contact with the cyptocurrencies industry, since then I have never felt a loss of something new in my life and recognize the changes that have taken place in my personal economic life.

although cryptoqurrency can be said to be profitable but we cannot guess precisely because the prices in the market are always moving so if we misstep of course it can be dangerous, among others, such as the risk of loss. always be alert before acting

Also in my case done more good than harm, i could earn some amount of money when i start on 2015 and even some more on 2017 when the airdop value much than now and also on bull run.

Right. Blockchain and crypto have changed my life, it has helped me get more interested in reading and learning knowledge than before. I think it is very useful to update the knowledge of a new field like blockchain technology. Furthermore I was also able to make a profit from participating in the crypto market.

There are many social media functions I previously don't understand, but with the awareness of the blockchain and cryptocurrency, I have been able to master many functions all by myself and even teach them to as many as possible. Currently, I believe I can even handle some projects as per human development because of self confidence that comes from studying about cryptocurrency. 

Cryptocurrency is a tool. It all depends on us how we use it. Everything can have good and bad consequences, the important matter is ethics of individual.
Cryptocurrency is a major development of the 21st century which is going to change the way we live in the latter half of 21st century.

you just have to be careful not to believe everything you read online these days. 90% of the social media consists of scammers trying to pump some shitcoin they are bag holding and to do that they  will tell you all kinds of lies. the news sites aren't any better either, they may seem more legitimate since it is a website with a big name but they are worse because they are also desperate to earn money and to do that they have to keep publishing things that don't even exist to get the traffic coming.

crypto is something that can change economically and mentally. exposed to crypto digital electronics industry. not only helps me to be profitable but also more about advanced technologies

Since knowing about cryptocurrency, my life has changed. Knowledge of economics, politics, trade and whatever. Everything will make us successful if we study well,everything is there.

When I was not yet in cryptocurrency I only go online to check all my friends on social media, now that I become part of this community it has become a habit to go online and learn all I can learn about cryptocurrency and it's latest news, not only that I get paid for posting my views about cryptocurrency.

If you think deeper, its more than just earning through trading, holding or joining a campaign. Everyday you learn about economy, monetary values and status , new ways of transacting money and the situation of people around the world. After it gives me financial freedom, it taught me how to become patience and not to be greedy in any way.

My experience in cryptocurrency was colorful i just remember wayback 2016 when i was scam during the HashOcean Cloudmining incident, I feel down and lost. But i was not giving up I continue my journey into cryptocurrency but these time i am very vigilant in all of investing sorties. But sometimes being vigilant is not enough thats why taking extra precaution was very important.

So true that it has it downsides and thanks for been sincere, I was fortunate to do some bit of education and have studied research and assessment as a course in school and hoping to put it into practice amd hopefully am motivated by the good deeds of the bitcoitalk family

Like some one earlier said in life there is always an opportunity cost for everything, but from facts the price you turn to pay for the future benefits of cryptocurrency are very less as compared to. Enjoy

Thank you for your advice,  this is true, this even happens most of the websites, example coinmarketcap says a coin is trading at 0.01$ but the website says the coin is trading @ 0.1$ a very big difference and also some exchanges manipulating trading volume

Yes indeed it has helped me a lot, both financially and otherwise. It has helped shaped my mind on how the world works as well as upcoming technological advances which will disrupt this world.
Although when I started it wasn't easy, but all those mistakes has helped me make good and better choices now.

I think it still not much favour me yet as I was one of the late comer in last bull run but late to realise how how dump it could be , so I will say am just recovering my lost and hoping to have good return soon and be happy.

Cryptocurrency investment is not predictable and has greater risks. If u know how to play your cards well, you will be always smiling. As for me, crypto has done me great good and I will recommend it to other people too.

In crypto, you can have both good and bad sides at some point in time. In my experience the good outweighs the bad and I think its a good investment if you know when to invest and which coin to buy.

Actually, there are a lot of individuals here who are earning a decent amount of income just by dealing with crypto alone. There are people who already quit their daily job in exchange of going full time with crypto. But this should be done if you are financially confident that your crypto earnings can sustain your living for the next 6 months or so.

And as for me, crypto brought me a lot of opportunities, though I did lost in some investments and trading, yet I gained more from this industry. So what more can I ask? Crypto will always be a part of my daily living now.

Cryptocurrencies gave a goal to many people like you and me. Unfortunately, a lot of people for one reason or another have surrendered and left cryptocurrency, it's sad.

I believe everything has its good and bad sides. Cryptocurrency is unpredictable however it has its good and bad sides just that the good side outweighs the bad sides.

I really like your attitude after knowing the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency by reading every day to know everything in the world of Cryptocurrency, Crypto is very useful for everyone if they have opened a gap that is a good source of income and invest or trade it is a good first step someone, learning is very good at better understanding market conditions, but be careful because the risk is everywhere and it depends on you how to deal with something new and that is good for advancing the analysis first it is very good.

I agree that we can do and perform well by the help of cryptocurrency field and more than the bad things we had get excuse and successful rate of profit using the cryptocurrency field so no one will say will not useful for me in any situation that is the success of cryptocurrency field.

I am sure that cryptocurrency gives a good way for many people that are involved in the cryptocurrency business because they can have a new type of investment plus they can also make money from the crypto. Cryptocurrency has proved that many people have been helped by cryptocurrency and now they still trying to make money and still using and searching from many ways to earn money.

so far i have only benefited from crypto and no disadvantage. yes, i have lost some time on useless bounties, but learned a lot about crypto in the time.
that is why i am satisfied with crypto and i hope i can increase my share of crypto.

Crypto has changed my life in the last 5 years and it makes me have a more stable life. I think the trend of joining Crypto will be more and more in the near future because this is a decentralized market and no one cannot control your money in this market. Personally, I will still find a way to survive in this market in a better way and offer many smart investment strategies to get the best profit.

Cryptocurrency world take to something new about digital asset. Until now Cryptocurrency is good to me. Another Income. Not Cryptocurrency harm you, its people behind the Cryptocurrency will harm you like scammers or frauders.

One of the best threads i've seen this year, I personally enjoy hearing how crypto/blockchain changed people's lives and not necessarily in a monetary fashion. Great thread OP

For most people it would be more 'good' than 'harm'.

I learned how to gpu mine, learned a bit of coding on the side, learned about blockchain and about new projects in this space (even if most don't work out!).

So yeah, definitely a net positive.

The only people who would say it has been more harmful would be those who dumped a bunch of money in around 2017 with not much consideration of the risks. Those people would have lost money and not learned anything about crypto or blockchain.

Crypto currency literally turned my life around. I used to work in shifts and one day I worked on mornings, one day at evenings and one day at nights, it was changing so quickly that I never really slept that properly ever, I was always tired and sleepy and I didn't had any fun out of life, I might as well be dead at that point and not much would change.

Now, I am working in crypto industry and make my income in bitcoins and I have the full control of my life, thanks to that now I go to bed whenever I want and wake up without an alarm whenever I want and work whenever I want, go to plays and shows and movies and go out for dinner when I want (still not everywhere since its expensive in some places and I am in no way rich) and just basically live the life I want to live without any excuses of why I can't. It has been 3 years since I last quit my job and for the past 3 years I have been super lucky to have crypto in my life.

Yeah, crypto has done we good too. Although I've gone through hills and valleys in crypto space, at the end I'm smiling. I'm made good money from crypto, I've lost some, but what matters is the experience so far has been splendid for me overall.

Yes truly am a witness, never thought I would grow to an extent with cryptocurrency.
Taking a look at the mistakes I made which later turns to serve as a good ground to grow, I would say the knowledge acquired thus, is worth it.
I believe with time, most people will get involved and the crypto space will continue growing tremendously.

Before cryptocurrency came into existence or would I say before I got to know about crypto, I have surfed over the internet several times in search of jobs I could do at home to earn me extra cash that will add to my salary to solve my numerous problems but found none.

The few ones I found has too many demands that I cannot meet up with and I have been struggling to meet up with my needs since then till crypto came, it has been the easiest means of making money online from bounty to trading and so many other ways its technology has created opportunities to earn some extra cash.

There is still hope for me ,I don't think that I'm damaged for good because I lost money building rigs that are not worth it anymore ,I've moved to airdrops and bounties for good and I believe that one day I will reap better rewards ,I don't have answers for now just still hoping for better days to come

Yes it has. The truth is, those who went for knowledge first made good progress and vice versa. That is to say, proper knowledge of whatever we do in life matters.
I on the other hand, I made series of mistakes but I didn't allowed it to break me, rather it taught me things and opened my eyes to what I don't know, with that made me a better person.
The cryptocurrency is transforming things and will continue to do so, most especially let's be like those who made mistakes and learn from it, not those who made mistakes and left.

Well it totally depends on what you are actually doing with crypto, some people hold crypto while others trade crypto, some other just use crypto as a means of making purchase for goods and services around the world, I make use of crypto as a means of payment any time I carry out any job, crypto has opened to a world of unending jobs because the market is so big that you can keep seeing new clients to work for everyday, all one need to do is just to learn how to deliver the best.

Upon discovery of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, I was faced with a great deal of set back. I invested in scam projects and didn't know how to carry out research before investing. I was thinking a body was in charge of monitoring companies and ensuring that investors funds were safe. All the set back faced was an experience necessary for me to understand the industry. I sit back, and am glad that I went through the lessons. Crytocurrency has been a very lucrative source of income for me, and am happy to part of the industry.

what I feel is true that cryptoqurrency has changed my life better than before before getting to know this crypto world, they are indeed at high risk and very dangerous but until now I actually feel the benefits generated from this blockchain technology.

Well, you are right. For many, cryptocurrency has become a way to earn a living. I do not like, of course, advertising cryptocurrency on social networks. Today it is everywhere and a little unnerving. But to read the blog is always interesting.

Every year, the cryptocurrency market brings or takes money from investors in different ways. Last year I lost a lot of money. This year I bought Bitcoin at $ 4,000 and had already doubled my investment.

After all, the most important thing is how we ourselves will be configured. If we spend more time learning what we like, it will benefit us. Crypto also brought me more positive than negative.

 I think that crypto brought more good in my life and in general for the world. look at that unique technology it is based on, and how far and wide it may develop itself. learning about finances helps a lot when you no longer a child. and it helped me learn English as the community is worldwide and i want to be understood and understand others. definitely profit!

That's the most likely goal that Satoshi must have had when he created Blockchain and Bitcoin. I'm sure he wanted it to be decentralized in order to give the power of financial control back to the common folk as well as educate them. Why else would it be an open source code, if he didn't want people to see the project through his eyes, and then through their own?

Definitely, I agree with you because the cryptocurrency phenomenon is one of the most positive developments in our society, as it solves many problems, and personally it has brought me a lot of financial benefits, and I am very happy about it and hope the cryptocurrency has a great future.

I can't even compare. Cryptocurrencies gave me an opportunity to learn and earn and I took it. Since I got hooked up I've learned so many new things like trading and understanding the charts. I got a nice big portfolio took some profits bought some nice things with my profits. I can't remember any bad things it's all good if you ask me. What harm did it do to you?

If you lost money it's not crypto's fault but yours. When you cut your hand on a piece of glass it's not the fault of that glass. It was there the whole time and you came to it and touched it.

I i think itll depend on the user . Some guys and gals are using crypto for bad use like for example buying drugs or buying illegal service on the dark market . This things can do harm for them in the long run but there are also people that engage in crypto for thier own good or to be able to improve thier life . Crypto can do good for them and i can say that im one of this users but sometimes , doing crypto is addictive and being addicted isnt really good , crypto can harm us this way even if use in a good way .

if Crypto is dangerous, of course there aren't many people here, a danger caused by some people themselves because they do it unwittingly or anything that causes bad things to happen.
Cryptocurrency can provide big benefits if you can manage it well and you can overcome various obstacles, so you have the right to get everything.

Cryptocurency has done its bit to reduce world poverty and create employment. Especially in Africa and South East Asia where its teaming youths are largely jobless, cryptocurrency has become a succour and alternative to making ends meet for most youths in that region and this can be largely observed by their dominative presence in cryptocurrency bounty Telegram groups.

Crypto currency is not dangerous nor cause harm but it the people that abuse the concept of crypto currency are to be blame for the whole thing. However, the people that usually think crypto currency is dangerous are those that don't understand the reason why crypto came into existence.

Same experience here, it's been bliss in the cryptosphere for me as I've found so many new opportunities I never would have thought possible, engaged with various teams of different projects and it has really helped me in separating the chaff from the real deals (http://bit.ly/2K0GUby), leading to better informed decisions in investments.

I will say that I really did benefit more.  Because I got a hobby.  I got money because of my hobby.  Therefore, I think that I am only in the black and I will continue to do this because I really like the world of cryptocurrencies

society goes forward, blockchain technology to that confirmation, for me crypto brought a lot of advantage - without saying about profit, and an opportunity to work worldwide, it gave me belief in the future, the mankind develops, everything changes, I believe that once people will operate the finance, as well as was conceived

It seems to me that there are different situations. There are those who borrowed money or sold their last apartments and real estate to invest in cryptocurrency and everything went to waste, but there are those who really earned because they approached the matter wisely.

When we talk about cryptocurrency, it has done a lot more good to the world than we could ever imagine. Cryptocurrency is setting a new dimension of freedom from poverty, its transferring wealth to everyone in an easy mode. The nature of cryptocurrency has fueled many innovative ideas of a decentralised world.

until now I hold coins and altcoins which have made me get a big benefit from investment. so I feel this is not dangerous but on the other hand I am always aware of the assets that I have and always monitor market conditions. this is very important so that we always know the development too

I have good experience too for me it is a very exciting journey amd with time i have become even more passionate about this community im also happy because i am sure i will reap benefits in shape of financial freedom in hopefully couple more years through this industry.

That's an example for those of us who dare to admit that crypto is indeed real.!!
There is nothing impossible if we are willing to learn and understand what cryptocurrency is, we ourselves can change everything with certain steps and improve our economy by learning to look for maximum results in cryptocurrency..
Once again I really agree with you guys..

I'm also on this side, crypto and blockchain has done a lot of good things to my life. But I acknowledge those people that sees harm and bad things about it, we can't please them specially if they have bad experienced with it.

Like they have been scammed, invested at all time high's then witnessed the bearish market in other words, bought high and sold low.

Same.

It is not just the profits that I have made which really helped to stretch my budget and now I have better savings than I have before.
The better part is I am invested with bitcoin which is really a bonus for me.

Being optimistic. Although there are circumstances that I am in panic, still there is control now and being more optimistic of what will happen in the future. This is specially with trading crypto currencies.
It changed me a lot.

Cryptocurrency has save me a lot of fees in money transfers to overseas when dealing with money remittance and that is the only aspect it makes me still hang around even if the market is breeding. Not forgotten wealth of knowledge I have acquired through Bitcointalk for cryptocurrency related topics.

I can say the same about crypto. It has done me more good than harm and I am very much grateful for embracing such an opportunity. I have made a lot of discovery and have obtained great information, in addition, I have also gained much profit

I have also gained a lot from cryptocurrency and blockchain activities. It has really exposed me to a lot of new things which has been highly productive and profitable. Then another good thing about is it removes the effect of proximity and annonimity is maintained.

I think that cryptocurrency has changed the lives of many of us for the better, if you do not engage in fraud, you can safely work in this area and make good money. I also began to use the majority of social networks only for the sake of the need to participate in bounty campaigns.

True. Not only can one get passive income or even full time income from cryptocurrency but its as well opening new doors to greater opportunities for the masses.
