Bitcoin Forum

introduction of Bitcoin has improved my lifestyle, despite it hasn't significantly improved my financial situation.Despite hearing about bitcoin and even learning about it from friends, my experience with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general has only been a few months back. When I purchased my first $30 worth of Bitcoin  from my friend who introduced me to Bitcoin in year period of March but since then, the value of Bitcoin has fallen. But that doesn't move at all, do that I have  I performed more research on my own during this current semi-bearish period instead of declaring, saying this "Fuck this, I'm out." As a result, I became more knowledgeable about the world of finance and have never stopped buying since. both in the upward and downward directions.

Even though my bitcoin investments is not moving well, getting into crypto has taught me how to be frugal. I have gained a lot of knowledge about the stock market, charts, and economics in general all stemming from my interest in crypto.
I didn't have any future investment plans before  getten into crypto. my plane was save everything in bank in savings account. Before I paid no attention to inflation, the state of the economy, or my financial future ( besides being a graduate ).

Even if I never achieve financial independence through Bitcoin, I will always be appreciative of the positive impact it as  added on my life.
And once more, I want to express my gratitude to the forum users for their advice.

Pretty similar experience — I didn't know crap about finance and investing before Bitcoin; Bitcoin pretty much jumpstarted my interest in finance and investing. I'd say even if all my bitcoin/crypto holdings went to zero today and never went back up(though I hope not), I'd still be a better position today than where I was 6 years ago because of all the acquired knowledge.

Development, Business Idea, Patient, Technical analysis, Bitcoin and crypto in general changes a lot of idea about my journey to financial freedom, I'm sure without crypto in general I would literally be on the street, moving around with my CV looking for a job. But Crypto exposed me to a better life, makes me a boss, and living good in my beautiful domain.

Bitcoin has helped me to become financially free as it gave me the right to control my finance and the knowledge I gain from Bitcoin and this forum, in general, have helped me to make better decisions and also become a better analyst when it comes to investment.
I may have not spent years in Bitcoin but the little time I have spent here has helped to improve my mental capacity and build good investment knowledge in me.

Firstly my its has improve my financial spending I will tell you that since I started Investing I have grown to save funds and patiently wait for them to grow, something that was quite hard for me before but the switch between bear and bull period has contributed to it

The most important I have learn so far is cryptography. As someone that is not technically knowledge about anything code I think i can say I have developed so well since coming into bitcoin

Bitcoin has significantly altered various aspects of my personality. My thinking, spending, saving, and investing habits have all changed as a result of my exposure to bitcoin. This it has done for me in its own perspective it is designed for.

After learning about bitcoin, I now understand what it is to be patient in life, how to take risks in life, and when to and when not to go with something. In reality, bitcoin not only teaches you how to manage it, but also how to move on or participate in certain aspects of life.

There are a lot of changes that I never regret ever.
I'm very thankful that Bitcoin has come into my life, from financial independence to becoming financially free that can also improve my technical knowledge and skills until the time comes I've also learned how to value money as an investment and build my own business through the help of Bitcoin and this forum as well.

These are major changes in my life through Bitcoin

• Fairness
• Learn how to be your own central bank
• Learn how to save and invest

Before now use to think we owed the banks alot for keeping our money and they were entitled to freeze them when ever the want and unfreeze them after selling out my entire data to them but Bitcoin opened my eye to seeing the slavery the banks subjected people to. Bitcoin has widened my scope as regards finance and management has well as keeping funds by myself without any fear of losing them or getting it froozen.

Cryptocurrency made me more courage about changing my life. First of all it taught me i can't trust centralized financial institutions. Secondly it showed me, today's world is so brute. If you don't have any investment plan you will fail at some point of your life. Because nowadays inflation is a crucial problem.  We are seeing its effect day by day. Thanks to cryptocurrency my last two years was more effective than before about financial freedom.

Of course, everything wasnt positive. I had many days without sleeping. Most of the time i was thinking about my portfolio and i couldn't concentrate what i was doing. My internet quoata starts to finish earlier than normal. I had same problem for my phone battery :D And also I became addicted to this forum. My total logged time is 127 day :D

First of all, bitcoin strengthened my sense of trust. I didn't think I could trust so much in something I'd never known before. And when there are so many people in the world who say that bitcoin should not be trusted.
I used to trust banks a lot. Now, instead of them, I rely more on the bitcoins that are in my cold wallet.

Secondly, he taught me to be patient. After being patient, I saw that I would make a big profit. I have noticed that I earn more money when I buy crypto coins, which I also use as an investment tool, at the right time.

No OP; there is no need to even utter such thoughts. Your positive thinking will definitely make you successful. With bitcoin, many grow up and begin to be more careful and restrained in their means. I won’t say that I limit my life to constant savings, but the understanding that instead of momentary weakness and buying unnecessary things, I can buy bitcoin once again always has a positive effect on my well-being.
For a long time, I didn’t take bitcoin seriously and didn’t take it into account, but now that I’ve gained experience, I won’t repeat my mistakes. In addition, when there is a permanent job, investing in bitcoin for me arouses, in a sense, a sense of excitement.

Beginning with seriousness will pay off in the end, while many people take the wrong first steps that cause trauma without getting any return. For now at least new lessons about new financial models and management you have achieved, increasing investment value is the second goal which is still only a possibility (unless you are consistent on bitcoin).

This got my interest, Bitcoin made you to be frugal, I'd wish to learn such from Bitcoin as frugality seems difficult to me, but I'll get over it. However, I've never thought of Bitcoin as a vehicle to ride over the problem.

Moving forward, Bitcoin thought me to be skillful, when I got into bitcoin I saw lots of opportunities in it other than saving money or investing money. I saw Bitcoin as a means of learning different things. Those days we were advised to learn a skill or two then fit it in on Bitcoin then build from there. Though it wasn't easy but I'm enjoying the ride now. 

Just like the experience of most, I'm like them that hasn't really no idea how to be financially literate and then when bitcoin got in all of a sudden.

It has pushed me to be aware of those financial matters. Like it's a complete buff, you get the investment and understand cryptocurrencies and its technology (blockchain).

And then, you'll get the idea how the market works, the charts which is the visibility of its performances all of these days/years.

Keep the faith, mate, and you'll have enough stories to fill a letter.
This is a nearly identical experience, but mine was not during the bear market, so I didn't get to experience the dip as quickly as you did, but experience is the best teacher, and I am glad you are able to learn, and I hope you will continue to learn in this forum.

Even though this one has taken a very long time and is getting worse by the day, all our hope is based on our trust in Bitcoin, and this period is like a test, which will also pass one day, and we can both enjoy the profit we will have at the end.

I think majority of us are less knowledgeable about finance and investing, until we started gaining significant knowledge in crypto. One thing that we should be grateful in the first place. And because of that, I’ve learned to give importance on every profit that comes my way, and use it wisely for a potential investment and save some for emergency funds. Though I’m not financially stable for now, but I know with bitcoin, it will always be possible in the long run.

Hodling bitcoin has taught me to be more sensitive to my cyberspace security for example I never knew of TOR until I became familiar with crypto. Before coming into bitcoin, I was callous with my data, I’d click on any ad that pops up on the screen just to get to my desired page. It was bitcoin that change that careless attitude towards my privacy. I have made profits selling at bullish seasons but I think the practice of protecting my wallet and coins from phishing hacks and scammers is that’s more valuable to me.

Bitcoin has changed a lot in a person's personality, especially in their finances for the better I know that because of their persistence in believing in bitcoin which is increasingly being believed to be a good investment for the future.
We will not be separated from the bank as a form of saving money which we believed in the past now I do not expect full from this bank as I need it for my needs and for the future I store in bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet as a bank ourselves.

A lot of time has been spent knowing about bitcoin, we have experienced various problems in the market and have been through it but we understand what has happened before and is happening now, even so I still bitcoin as an investment vehicle.

Yeah that is the mentality of an average citizen, you always think the bank is helping to keep your money meanwhile they use the money to do business and even invest in stock and at the end of the month, bank customers are hit with high fees and some other deduction from their bank account.
This has been the practice until Bitcoin gave us financial freedom and offered us an alternative to banks and how we are free to control our financial dealings without any third-party involvement.

Many things have really changed in my life ever since i got introduced to bitcoin and the major aspect that got a turnaround is my financial life, how i plan and budget things, profitability with my investment and sound knowledge about how to invest on a profitable digital currency like bitcoin and hodl with patients than hunting around for alternative currencies, then how to manage risk and play safe with the best choice of an investment like bitcoin that is will not cease to exist.

For me yea, crypto change my life. Although not from the forum I learned a lot from here. Have been doing some marketing tasks out of the forum from where made a decent amount of crypto. Also gained a few cryptos from the treading as well. So overall I found a new destination from the crypto and Bitcoin of course. So currently fully focusing on crypto besides my real life. Hope I can achieve more.

If you ask me what is the greatest change that happened to me, I would definitely say that it has given me a whole new perspective on things. When I first heard about Bitcoin, around 2018, I was very skeptical and thought that it would be a fad that will pass in a few years. But when I started to understand the potential of this technology and its impact on the future of money and finance, I became convinced that it was something truly revolutionary, and I realized that this is something much bigger than what I can imagine. So, I started learning about it and reading about what other people thought about it. Prior to this, I had never thought about money in the same way that I do now. The benefits of Bitcoin are endless, but the most important thing we should understand is that it can help us reach financial freedom.

Sometimes, things we never thought that could last longer and become more profitable are the things that we don’t expected to succeed. Same with bitcoin, I first thought it was a big scheme and that I should never trust it, but now it’s even more reliable than fiat that we used to trust in our whole life. So bitcoin has strengthened my faith and patience, and it also taught me how to manage my finances and save more money and invest in promising investments. For I know now that I have full control over my money, the aim to gain unlimited profits with bitcoin will always be possible.

It had changed my life forever.

The fact that I'll just hold and I've held it for a long time and the value has increased a lot, that's already life changing. Everyone of us saw the change on it financially.

But if not wise enough, you'll just end up missing all of the next greater days of bitcoin for which its value will grow way up higher. Too many facts where it had changed me and made me understand a lot of things, economically, global assets and market, etc.

Bitcoin has made my business (small business) more profitable than before. At first I only received payments in fiat money for every buying and selling transaction, but after I found out that most of the people around me were traders, I immediately put up a pamphlet in front of the shop with the words "Accepting payments in Bitcoin".

As I thought, to be more successful or increase your income from business you have to dare to do something new. After I receive bitcoins as a form of payment, most of them (Crypto asset traders) who shop at my place pay in Bitcoins. When the market is in a Bearish period, I feel very lucky when customers pay with Bitcoins. Besides that I have already made a profit from the items purchased, I will also get multiple profits when the Bullish comes.

At certain times I also found it difficult to answer questions from people who didn't know Bitcoin, most of them asked "what is Bitcoin". But I never get tired of introducing Bitcoin to them, because most of them are very interested in Bitcoin.

Knowledge is power, and it is a foundation for success I believe coming into the world of crypto has also improved my way of thinking and made to know many things about finance and privacy, because I am ignorant of my personal details not until I started cryptocurrency.


Banks are third party that will keep controlling your money for you, and the money will not increase it rather reduces if they charge you for maintenance. And sometimes our currency lose its value that means that you will not have any way to improve your money. It is better you use it for crypto so that you can gain as you hold.

Exposure has to be the ultimate thing Bitcoin has done for me. Bitcoin gave me the exposure of learning about finance which isn't thought much in my part of the world and has brought me closer to gaining my financial freedom and having to organize my finances myself without relying on any third party likey the banks etc. Prior to me knowing about Bitcoin I would had most likely entrusted my funds to my local banks for investment options but with Bitcoin and all the industry has to do offer, such thought are out of my mind.

When you fully get involved in Bitcoin in the industry, your whole lifestyle will be influence positively. You'll get to learn how to secure your funds properly and the market will also teach you how to prepare for raining days as it's ups and downs comes with different experience. Bitcoin doesn't just influence your finances but your lifestyle and many people can testify to this.

I would focus on the economic lessons bitcoin has taught me. First it has piqued my interests in investments within and beyond crypto world. I have become financially conscious about the actors and agents in the financial world. I have learned about personal greed and corporate greed together with their disastrous impact. With these knowledge and many more, I have been able to fix a huge part of my finance to be able to position myself for opportunities when they come knocking.

I know it's not really easy seeing your money reducing on a daily basis, but if you can hold then the money you invested will bounce back and you are definitely going to make profit, but you don't have to give up.

When I also started trading cryptocurrency, it was during bear market and things were not really going well, I felt so bad then because I was new and I don't really understand much about how the market works, but I didn't give up, and today atleast I have achieved lot's of things through bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

My advice to all newbies is that they shouldn't sell their bitcoin because we are in bear market and some of them think crypto will die, cryptocurrency is not going to die, we have witnessed bear market that's more than the current one we are in and bitcoin survived it so we are also definitely going to survive this. Just keep on accumulating bitcoin and be ready to hold.

Bitcoin has introduced me the convenience of working online and at the same time earning precious BTCs for my investment.

I remember I started my journey way back in 2017 as a fresh college student. I did not know much about the fundamentals and use of cryptocurrencies and I just somehow learned it along the way. When I first received my BTC from a campaign signature, I remember the feeling of joy and satisfaction that I was able to earn my own money through the use of my knowledge.

Currently, I am now in law school and the proceeds that I get weekly from my campaign signature are primarily used to buy materials for me and for my younger brothers. I still save at least a partial amount of what I earn for investment but majority of it goes to fund my education and my brothers' needs.

Bitcoin had changed our lives and we are all happy about it making money through various ways without much stress of getting a schudule jobs that can be time demanding. Bitcoin had led to the massive growth of the crypto market which was started by Bitcoin which is the reason why all other coins or tokens are affected by the movement of Bitcoin forming bear and bull market. I am a big fan of Bitcoin and I hope to make my first million dollar from Bitcoin soon. Those that invest their efforts and money in Bitcoin would be very proud now of becoming very healthy.

I'm sure not all become healthier. I mean some of the people who misjudge bitcoin investing. and those who are not knowledgeable about the market and bitcoin. it traps those who feel cheated by their knowledge.

many people will have a variety of experiences in their lives from bitcoin. I started buying my first bitcoin on a whim and just following what a friend said. and finally now have better finances in investing and trading. bitcoin has completely changed the way I think about investing.

Since I joined the crypto world has brought real changes in my life, most importantly my financial life, seeing beneficial effects financially. Although Bitcoin has not helped me achieve financial freedom, it has given me the right to control my finances.
Crypto has allowed me to live a better life, and I hope that in the future, I can go from financial independence to financial freedom.

I think people who are able to persevere and continue to learn about bitcoin will find great benefits. I'm sure the members on this forum have felt that. Although I'm sure there are some people who may fail and quit.

For me getting to know crypto and bitcoin has made me have a new income. That adds to the amount of my income. In real terms crypto has helped a lot to make ends meet for me and my family. So I will never regret knowing bitcoin because it provides great benefits.

Bitcoin change my life. 2016 when i was student,my friend aslo.My Friend was Bounty hunter, he got money from many bounties and also BTC pay signature campaign. I'm interested and he learned by him.And still I'm making money from BTC paying signature campaign. My daily life very shining day by day. Many people improved their life from this site. Bitcoin is king of all coin i hope bitcoin will be more dependent in future.

Bitcoin is not just about investment and money, it is always beyond that. And the moment i started learning about bitcoin, my perspective in life has been affected too, from being generous just like a one day millionaire to becoming a frugal one, from being wild and impatient, now i started to become patient and slowly realized the value of money. So bitcoin has brought positive changes in my life, not totally in terms of financial independence, but becoming more of what i am today is more worthy than money.

Learning about Bitcoin gave me a domino effect. I discovered more opportunities l can earn through various methods such as playing, offering service, and and products. It also did allowed me to be able to send money to another person wherever place I and he/she. Moreover, as I learned more about bitcoin, I also did catch lots of wisdom from people which are also inclined with this topic.

You have mixed up bounty with signatures campaign, and even at that, a bitcoin paid signature campaign is not a Bitcoin job because we have some companies who are not directly involved in the Bitcoin business but run signature campaigns such as altcoin projects that want to get exposure will run a signature campaign just to get their desired promotion and the campaigns are paid with Bitcoin.
If you are talking about Bitcoin jobs, we should concentrate more on the bitcoin technical aspects such as Bitcoin mining and the rest of it all.

You must thank your friend that he wants share his knowledge and experience with you.
Not everyone wants to give lessons to others, some people prefer to keep their knowledge and experience themselves. You are lucky that your friend is a wise and kind person, he shares with you the way to earn money. Then finally you know this forum, can earn money from the signature campaign, and can invest or trade crypto coins. Anyway, I also learn crypto knowledge from my friend, he leads me to know this forum as well. We are lucky to have good friends.  :)

Crypto really change my mind about technology and how to earn money online. I thought that earning money through online can be got only from online shops. But after knowing the crypto world, I think this is different. Additionally, this also teaches me about trading and investment. In the past, I don't think that I can make some investments in crypto. Because commonly, investment is only for rich people who buy the stocks or property. But crypto isdifferent, thsi si for everyone as long as they have litle money and lwant to inevst in crypto. But this is also risky and tricky, that is why elanring and preparing oursleves to invest in cypto is a must with good knowledge.

That's me there in that comment. I'm constantly appreciative to providence for making my path align with Bitcoin on that fateful day in December 2016 (can't remember the date, actually) before I then registered on this forum in 2017. Bitcoin has been an eye opener to me in everything financial engagements and the dynamics of inflation. Also, my exposure to Bitcoin has sharpened my instincts on online dealings; both on internet and scam awareness.

Interesting question.
I've been on the Internet for 20 years and I've tried everything possible in order to make money with some investment on the Internet.
Mostly everything was unsuccessful until I came across bitcoin and crypto.
All other attempts to make money on the Internet, such as Revshare, adcliks, MLM and other investment programs, were unsuccessful, but finally I am making money on Bitcoin.
Not only that, I feel that I am part of something new, a future that has just arrived, a revolution that has begun  :D

Similar to mine where i ventured in lots of Ponzi and scam investment online, It made me sceptical about Bitcoin but when i finally gave in i saw the whole lot of opportunity has it regard Bitcoin from holding, trading, mining, and usage as currency. A new concept only becomes familiar and appreciated when it is been used. Owning a bitcoin myself so changed my perception about how it work and what it is used for.

The bitcoin or crypto have changed my life in so many ways, crypto have patience. Before I thought it is a free money that you will see and claim not knowing it is a game of luck and patient. It make me believe that what is yours will surely be yours.

Investment has never been for the rich, the thing is just that the rich have so much money to invest a larger sum than what a poor person could afford, and a rich person would definitely have more that enough to take care of their bills and still invest, but those with little money would prolly have none left for investment after they have had their bills settled. Thus whether it be crypto, the stock market, or any other investment, the rich person obviously has an advantage and can invest far larger than others, and will prolly make a greater ROI in the long run. Having said that, what Bitcoin has changed most about me is giving me the confidence of being my own bank without any third party, i prolly wouldn't have thought i'd ever be free to control my own funds, but i've been doing that for a couple of years with Bitcoin now, and i must say it is a great feeling i don't want to end.
Well Bitcoin isn't free money like you now know, it is also not a game of luck, yes if you are solely a speculator you'd have to be patient with its price movement, but it is a coin that has an actual utility you can use for many other stuffs than speculation. Your Bitcoin won't be yours if you hodl it in the inappropriate/wrong way. ;D

Actually the rich and elite of the society made it so difficult for the poor masses to get their hands on opportunities that could changed their financial story through investment and that's why majority of them are against cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) as it presented a way out for the poor masses. Even today we can see the elites (which we call the whales) still having a major say in the ways the market move but what makes cryptocurency different from other investment vehicle is that the opportunity is on equilibrium for all parties.

For example, the average users can't get into early opportunity in Real estate or stock market investment like they can do with cryptocurency which will increase their chances of profiting from their investment. With stock and real estate, only the elites gets this chances and they hoard this information for themselves or close pals but with ICO, IDO open presale in cryptocurency everyone no matter the financial class can get their hands on this early opportunity.

I am 7 years on the internet and have tried several ways to make money on the internet and only bitcoin and crypto give good money and knowledge to me personally.


the most amazing thing and also very grateful thing for me is knowing about Bitcoin and crypto, a friend of mine is very meritorious in that, if he doesn't convince me about Bitcoin and crypto then I'm sure my life will be boring.

Kind of the same as yours, but Bitcoin was like just a fraction of my attempts that worked and paid off since I also did just freelancing in the end and usually earning in USD. If I would like to purely earn in Bitcoin from my services, I might consider those freelancing sites that allows crypto payments.
I never invested any single penny in such random projects in the internet especially in my local area, since it is just me not trusting any investment program at all. I just have this gut feeling that people would just run away with my money at any point of time whether during recession or upturn of the global economy.

Cryptocurrency has really helped my life for good. As a graduate, I worked in an establishment where I was earning 40$ per month. By the time you deduct transport fare, feeding money and rent, you would be left with little or nothing. I started trading few years ago and there has been some ups and downs, highs and lows but so far God has been faithful. I was actually using crypto as a side hustle while I was working and so far I've been able to make some remarkable achievements. I've quitted my job and I have set up something good for myself and and still investing in crypto.

Bitcoin has helped my life to be what Amy today though I'm in the position where I haven't start earning bitcoin financially but it increase my knowledge in many aspects, even though bitcoin haven't change my life financially but  it has many positive impact in my life which I'm using today, which make my life better by discouraging me from fraud and other illegal things. That's happening in many societies today.

I often find myself wondering what would have happened if I hadn't encountered bitcoin and the forum. If I hadn't embraced bitcoin and joined the btt forum, I wouldn't be where I am today, which is a blessing because my life would have been financially chaotic. Ever since I did that(embracing bitcoin as an investment tool) I haven't for once complained of a lack of finances, investments going wrong or not saving up for the future.

My experience with bitcoin has taught me to be patient towards life investment, expect the good and the bad news, and never jump into something without researching it first.

Yes at a time our security become our utmost concern among all other things, and haven't acquired enough assets in our custody and attained financial stability, the next most important thing is the security of the assets and how best to protect ourselves from cybercriminals.
Holding bitcoin or any other system is more sexured when you hold them in a self custody wallet.
 
I also have a similar experience to yours, as I also ignorantly clicked several links in the past, but since I start getting involved more in online security I don't click any how links, and I most time set my browser to block Ads.
