Bitcoin Forum

then my initial life was not positive, I don't know what to do with my life. one day my friend encourage me to invest on Bitcoin despite my Reservation about Bitcoin, I eventually became persuaded. then I purchase a Bitcoin in 2017 and invested it. from there I became engaged with a forum and began contributing over time, since then I become an established Bitcoin investor.

   Guess what, ever since my friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I invested on it, things have never remain the same with me. investing in Bitcoin have given me what I could imagine to achieve in short period of time.
(1) I live alone in the house. but now, I have wife and children.
(2) I was living in a rented apartment. but now, I live in my own house.
(3)  I was tricking to places. but now, Bitcoin have giving me a car.
(4) before I don't have any source of income. but now, Bitcoin is my source of income.

friends, in short period of time, BTC have given me what I needed to have as a man. what is, your own achievement's with Bitcoin.

Wow this actually some great achievable and with all you’ve mentioned so far, I would say that you’re already a very complete man because in my country, someone can only be addressed as a complete man after his married and blessed with kids as well as owning his own house and a car as well as some properties like landed properties to their names and I would say that you’re a complete man.
I don’t know the forum you joined but I will be glad if you can do me the Favour of telling me about the forum possibly in my pm , that’s if you’re not comfortable listing it here because I’ve always known bitcoin not to be a get rich scheme and as such I was curious to knowing how much was invested initially as the little I know about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general is that it works in the principle of garbage in garbage out which simply means that, your rewards and earnings are determine on how much you invested and that’s why it is always advisable that you invest how much you are willing to lose as not is guaranteed in the cryptocurrency industry.

Personally bitcoin has done me well and I will always give a lot of credits to it as it has been one of the major sustaining pillars to my health and always grateful and thankful to satoshi for investing bitcoin.

Wow op, so many achievements  ::) Of course! Bitcoin has really helped a lot of people, including me. But there are even more great things to look forward to in the future. Just like someone used Bitcoin to improve your life, I hope you can do the same and share the word of Bitcoin with more people. Let's spread the word to all out there!
 BITCOIN IS KING

Finding it so hard to buy your story, or should I say I am the bad egg here on your thread today, your statement and your profile are saying two different things. If I understand correctly, you should have been here since 2017 based on your statement, but your account appears to be just a few months old, or do you have another account that you were using then?


In your first introductory thread, you said you knew nothing about Bitcoin. How come you are now a Bitcoin investor and have been enjoying it since 2017? Or is there something that I am reading wrongly in your story?

Hmmm..sounds like a cook story to me because all what you said is just too good to be truth. Are you into trading,since you said bitcoin has given you a job. Like you started that bitcoin has given all that you mentioned within a short period of time.

We all know that the only way one can make good profit is when he invest in long term and not short term,this is why I am nervous about your achievement. Maybe soon bitcoin will give you a private jet. Anyway,I know that bitcoin has been a life saver and will still be.

The story seems too good to be true for someone who had apparently nothing but you never said you had nothing though and over the course of time you've referred, that's a little up to 6years and bitcoin have come a long way through those times. Its that in mind, not having the necessary experience or sources of income to back your patience with your bitcoin investment could easily lead to you not arching as said with the investment.
Back in 2017, bitcoin was at the bears and the year started kicking with price at around $965 and later hit a high at around $19.8k. That's some significant difference looking at barely a $1000 to where price later got go settle at for an ATH that year and now, the ATH is established around $68.7k although the current price is at $27.2k.

So yeh, I could agree that one could archive much from that and to have invested a whole bitcoin in 2017, that makes it even the more possible but, vat say you don't have to withdraw in-between or having to add to your portfolio but all the same, you've done good for yoursd and I'll also recommend you don't make it your only source of income.
Diversify into something else while, keeping your bitcoin portfolio and even adding to it.

Op how do you explain this, you are here to do all these, but you have been investing in bitcoin since 2017. Op you former thread and are trying to contradict the present ones. You teach your friend bitcoin and now your friend teach you. Please be specific. Tell us who is teaching who. You even teach your mother.
And look at this again 👇
What do you say about this again? From this op thread of "Bitcoin achievement" from 2017 to date. Op I must tell you the truth, your post history does not speak well about your knowledge on bitcoin, you are even struggling to call the word bitcoin. Someone who has been investing in bitcoin from 2017 till now would have a good posting history in bitcoin forum but yours is different. Therefore, I accused you of lieing to get Merit to rank up. If really you have been interesting on bitcoin since the year you have said, and bitcoin has changed you from bad to good. It is very simple, show us the evidence of your claim on bitcoin clear my doubt. I will like others to cross check it.

What forum? because it's definitely not bitcointalk  ::)
I would still consider your story to be the truth and I like the achievements you have now because it is indeed a pretty good achievement and of course this can also be a motivation for some people especially new ones because being in bitcoin even though it is risky but not as scary as imagined.
All you have to do is focus on your goals and investments because if you are in bitcoin and do it the right way then you will definitely get results that you can be proud of at least for your own achievements.

I am not buying your story, we are not all fools here,
Which forum did you become engaged in? I am sure others like myself will like to know, because you just joined this forum on August 05, 2023.
You would have gotten married still, with or without bitcoins.
How did you manage to make bitcoin your source of income that you were able to achieve all these in a short time, from buying a house, a car and raising a family? Where you trading or investing?

(You may be quick to say trading, but that will be unbelievable since your post history clearly shows that your most frequented boards are "bitcoin discussion" and "Politics and society")

OP Around 2017, a friend of yours introduced you to bitcoin, you made an investment, and over time, you started participating in and contributing to a forum, which helped you position yourself as a bitcoin expert, am I correct?

I have a question for you. Which forum was it that your friend introduced you to and where you eventually contributed and participate? Is this forum bitcointalk.org or any other one? Your account's registered date for this forum is August "5th" of this year.

By the way, that. Numerous people's lives have been impacted because of bitcoin, and those changes are still occurring today. Early adopters of bitcoin are the ones who, if they hold it for a long time, benefit greatly from its profits

Even if you don't actually achieve all of these things via bitcoin, it is still an incredible achievement for you. However, I don't really believe you.

I’m looking back to what the price of bitcoin was in 2017, you got involved in bitcoin at a good time. I became a bitcoin investor just before Covid and I have achieved a lot already since that time. I can only imagine what could have happened if I invested in bitcoin earlier

At this point, I find your story here hard to believe because I remember clearly you made a thread about how new you were to bitcoin and that you needed help.

Pease take this as a constructive feedback - Sorry to burst your bubble, mate, but if every one of us begins to write about how a friend introduced us to Bitcoin when we had nothing and how our lives changed after investing in Bitcoin—purchasing mansions in Hollywood, going on vacations to Bali, buying the latest Ferraris, and enjoying all those other luxuries—don't you think that we won't be taken seriously on the forum?

Come on, man, the forum is flooded with these same generic stories, and everyone is bored to death with them. This is for the next newbie who might want to share how Bitcoin funded their trip to the moon. I don't think we're really interested. You can share your small victories with your local communities or offline buddies. Please.

Good thing your achievements in Bitcoin not always investors have this kind of opportunity and experience the wins you've been made, also Another thing that Bitcoin was not yet widely recognized at that time and it's a good catch that you made it in that year like other people they are wishing the same thing they invested on that year or even lower on that but it's past already, question still now do you accumulate than the Bitcoin or still stick with it?.

Congratulations. My achievements with Bitcoin were the possibility of earning money from zero on the internet without any investments through faucets, the opportunity to find jobs online paying through BTC currency which gave me access to a weekly income, the chance to invest into something solid and profitable on long term, against the weak and unprofitable alternatives I had with fiat at local banks.

Along the years BTC has proportionated me valuable savings which are still really promising for the next years.

I'm not on your level of progress yet, but I hope to reach there someday with Bitcoin and God's help.

Yeah, I find your tale very fascinating as well as totally unbelievable. I’m curious on how your friend persuaded a former skeptic such as yourself to purchase bitcoin. I’m also curious about how exactly bitcoin is now your source of income when you didn’t have any.
You sure are lucky to have gotten all what you needed to have as a man and in a short period of time also with the credits going to bitcoin.
Your tales were hard for me to believe and combined with other members on this same thread pointing out some inconsistencies with your story, I think you’ve been caught in a fib.

Your crypto journey is very interesting and incredibly inspiring to hear that how Bitcoin has fundamentally reshaped your life and provided you with opportunities you couldn't have imagined. It is also important to recognize and appreciate your commitment to understanding this emerging technology of Bitcoin, and rewards that it has brought for you are truly deserving. From owning an apartment and a car to enjoy precious moments with your family. your success story highlights the importance of being adaptable and seizing opportunities that ultimately result in enriching experience.

I'm a little skeptical about OP's testimony here, I don't believe that bitcoin is a panacea to depression or anything like that, pretty sure that there's other factors besides bitcoin that made OP get out of the dark pit that he's in, also what forum are you talking about? I don't think there's a lot of active forums that talks about bitcoin besides Bitcointalk. And 2017 is such a short time frame to achieve all of those stuff unless you've got the money already which I think doesn't corroborate with your story that you're down on your luck before being introduced to bitcoin.

I can relate with OP but the most I really appreciated achievement I got with Bitcoin was becoming financially literate,  Bitcoin taught me a lot of things about finances, like how to save, how money, how a bank works, and how decentralized money will help you.  Also, I became wise when spending my money when I was introduced to Bitcoin, and I just found out there are a lot of ways to earn money, you just need to move and work something out.

I didn't see sny website that id mentioned by OP. Anyway, it's better to have another source of income and not just having one source of income. What if you didn't earn profit in investing Bitcoin then where would you get the money to add more of your current money in BTC?. It's not always what you thought would happen because there are other situations that you may face if I happen that's why it's much better to have more than ine source of income.

 Well, you've got an inspiring story up there and I won't be quick to say there may be an ounce of untruth since I wasn't really there with you but from what others have pointed out especially how you joined here not less than 26 days ago and how your previously created don't seem to add up, it might look to me that you are just fishing for a merit or two.
It's interesting to note that Bitcoin was able to provide all these you mentioned in such a short while and I'm moved to believe that the Bitcoin you invested in is the type that wasn't affected by volatility. And since you said you got brought in by a friend in 2017, I'm just wondering why you haven't shared your knowledge of trading it in the Trading section so others can learn a thing or two. This particular post of yours https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462991.msg62683221#msg62683221has got me raising my eyebrows, and I be like wtf? ???
 Also, judging from your instability with maintaining a streamlined posts, I doubt you could be able to patient enough to hold BTC. It could be that you managed to acquire all these by your investments, but I'm starting to have the feeling it wasn't from BTC..get real!

This is the issue with users that come to the forum and cook up a story thinking they can use it to gain some merits for themselves, the more you lie the harder it becomes for you to keep up with your lies and soon after you’ll be caught.

Aside from the fact that your story seems like a BS story, who else have noticed that the Op stories always have “friend, relatives etc” in them. And once you start to create different stories that’s centred around you it becomes extremely difficult for people to really believe that something like that actually happened to you and in this thread I don’t believe that you invested in bitcoin in 2017 if you did you won’t have come to the forum and start to make post like a newbie who does not even know how to create a bitcoin wallet.

If you check his thread history, most of the stories are just fabricated and full of suspicion. I also don't believe he invested in bitcoin in 2017 and even today he doesn't own too much bitcoin. I don't believe that someone who has been successful with bitcoin can come up with stories that only make others doubt instead of believe.
From what OP said, he likens bitcoin to a panacea for him but what I most doubt is his saying bitcoin is bringing in income for him. I wonder how and what job he is doing.

Great achievement, but when you said you invested in 2017 and engaged in a forum? I bet you didn't mean the bitcointalk forum right? Because you are just a new user here based on your current rank and the date the account was created. So, I'm pretty curious which forum is it that helps you with your bitcoin journey and what exactly did you do to have consistently gain since 2017?
Actually 2017 up until now is not actually a short period of time IMO, bitcoin's price have been in a crazy roller coaster ride, not to mention the long drought in 2018. How could you all survived that? As far as I know newbies during that time was so anxious about bitcoin being down for several months.

Being specific will help us understand your bitcoin journey rather than sharing another generic story like every single bitcoin success story being shared here.

If you've got amazing changes from Bitcoin in a short time, you are really lucky because there are still people who haven't been able to get it and still have to struggle. You are a real example of people who have succeeded in benefiting from Bitcoin so you can now tell us about it.

You also need to share your story with your friends, especially your friends who have introduced Bitcoin to you. You can also fight with your friends to achieve your next life target with Bitcoin and maybe you can invite your other friends to be successful together.

Your story will inspire those who want to invest in Bitcoin seriously and you can also teach them what it takes. It will be useful for your friends because they can get information from you because you are part of Bitcoin.

Your story would be great if it really happened in real life because it could affect our lives for the better with the involvement of bitcoin in it and unfortunately I'm not sure what you're talking about. I am much older than you for the age of the forum and although I have experienced investing in bitcoin but have not yet come to the story like you wrote here. What forum do you mean in 2017 can you explain this more specifically so we know the story behind your success in bitcoin.

It seems difficult for bitcoin to provide big profits in a short time if you only use small capital and you don't have anything beforehand so automatically the investment you make is very small, this is not to belittle but the story you wrote describes how you started bitcoin.

Investing in BTC is not easy and many people have experienced losses due to investing in BTC, and the cause of losses is usually due to lack of knowledge.
but your op is very lucky because you can get big profits from investing in btc, such as cars, houses and so on and I feel very happy when someone is successful from investing in btc.

I personally also benefit from investing in BTC, and my income has increased. But of course I also experienced losses due to investing in BTC, but I didn't give up and got up and learned from the experience.

Well seen. I knew just by reading the OP that he was lying, but you proved it. It is very common in this section this kind of threads where people make up stories like this to earn merit.


I hope that people will realise this and not give merit to such stories lightly. This thread hasn't got any merits so far, but when I see people who keep congratulating the OP even though he is proven to be lying, I'm not sure if he won't get any.

Bitcoin is not a panacea, but most of our sicknesses and troubles stem from our finances. Therefore, once our financial problems are solved, other problems in life will also be solved. Finance is almost the root of all problems in life and bitcoin can solve our financial problems.
But honestly, I don't believe the OP's story. As Agbe pointed out, it's definitely more of a story made up for merit than that's what he experienced. This guy looks more like a newbie to the market than an investor from 2017.

With the exception of your wife and children, which was your own achievement, it is nice to read the stories of success people have created for themselves thanks to bitcoin, and the most important thing of all is that those stories can still be created, it is just that now more time will be needed to reach that level of success and the starting capital needed will be higher as well, but anyone that is patient enough to buy bitcoin and hold it for a long time could get results similar to the ones you have obtained.

I was about to believe your story that you've got everything from Bitcoin but, let's say that you really did and you have got all of those possessions from Bitcoin when you've sold and this story is real. How you're able to put it all together from owning 1 bitcoin and the peak there was $20k. So, that includes a house and a car and you probably have fully paid everything with it? Also, Agb had quoted some interesting contradiction that you have said, from there it's not believable anymore to the one that you tackles with. I think that we're seeing success stories like this that have been posted here and there. Anyway, if you ever got a family, take care of them and that's the most priceless and best consolation that you can ever have whether you're invested on bitcoin or not.

Your story is very interesting and excellent, but you didn't mention when your friend introduced you to Bitcoin. How much did you invest in Bitcoin? Bitcoin has given you something in such a short time that everyone can imagine. You were single, now you have a wife and children, you didn't have your own house. , now you are living in your house. We have heard that investing in Bitcoin can take a long time before you get good returns. Second, it also depends on your investment how much you have invested in Bitcoin. Investing in Bitcoin does not mean, that you invest in Bitcoin whenever you want, and Bitcoin will give you everything you mentioned in a short period of time. If you had no source of income before Bitcoin, where did you get the capital to invest in Bitcoin? I think you have made up a fake story. Actually bitcoin is a great currency to invest and with proper timing and proper investment we can get good profit in future, but as you are saying, all this is impossible in such a short time. We have been seeing the market bearish for two years, it is not as easy as you think.

The story you are created differs from your actual image. From your date of registration here it looks like you are new here but you say you have been in the forum since 2017. How is this possible?

We can believe that you got something good from Bitcoin because Bitcoin has changed the fortunes of so many people. It has improved their standard of living. But there is no way to say that this is an easy task. Because there are risks involved in investing in Bitcoin. Which at that time many people were not interested in investing in bitcoin despite having investing money.

Based on your story, you have achieved much by investing in bitcoin, that's great. Your story is just part of other people's stories who have achieved so much by investing in bitcoin because it has given many opportunities to gain financial stability. Your story is also an inspiration for us who are new to the sphere to believe in our investment.

I am not an early investor like you, so I don't have much achievement like you do. Even if I had achieved some financial benefit, I would not publicize it in a public forum because I value privacy and I am also careful about putting out information in the public. This kind of story will make people think that you have so much money. I have come across some of your posts Smartgoat and think you are not putting in enough effort to make it enlightening. You will not grow in the forum with this kind of effort, therefore you have to learn more and post less for now.

The OP didn't say he joined the forum in 2017, but he bought bitcoin in that year. I don't know how true his story is, maybe he never knew about the forum until recently.

OP, all you bring to the forum are useless threads and lies. This is the second time you've been caught in a lie, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462582.msg62666856#msg62666856) and I think your behavior is quite different from the nickname "smart", although the middle name is quite appropriate.
I think it's time for you to calm down and stop writing fictional stories so stupid that calling it a merit hunt would be too reckless.
All you have achieved so far is a neutral review of your contribution to this community.

The more nonsense is posted, the faster the neutral tag will turn into a negative one.

Bitcoin's achievements are survive from FUD news, keep create new ATH every four year despite there were bad season, making El Salvador want to accept as legal tender, acceptance as Bitcoin ETF, still become the best decentralized crypto etc.

Now in your thread you're live with your wife and children, have a house, have a car, become your main income. Well... you're talking about yourself, it's "My achievements" not "Bitcoin achievement".

Through Op's post we got to know that since 2017 Op has started working himself in Bitcoin. As far as we know it is very difficult to trade or invest in Bitcoin at first. In that case, through Op's post we understand that he has achieved great success in a short period of time. He didn't have a house, he was building a house, and he didn't have a car, he was driving a car. However, as his luck was with him, he became successful with Bitcoin. So those of us who are still hesitant to invest in Bitcoin, this success of op will give courage to many to invest in Bitcoin.

He said he joined a forum, but he didn't mention it was a bitcointalk forum. But in 2017 there weren't too many bitcoin discussion forums except for bitcointalk. There aren't too many reliable details in the OP's story.


I do not deny that many people have changed their lives thanks to investing in bitcoin and that is why we continue to invest in bitcoin. But I don't believe OP got that out of bitcoin, what he said as many others have pointed out, are just baseless lies, another fabrication by OP on the forum.

There's nothing wrong with the testimonials you gave about the good things your bitcoining has done for you, dude. That's why it's easy to tell a false story here on the forum platform unless you have proof that Bitcoin has helped you. They say it is still too good to be true anyway. It is also true that those who join this industry can have an opportunity to have a source of income, such as crypto trading. Using our skills here, we use crypto to pay for the service we offer.

Although there are countless people who have been helped by Bitcoin in changing their lives that they have today, somehow Bitcoin really helps me as my main source of income via doing crypto and bitcoin trading, and somehow it also adds to my participation in the campaign and gives me rewards according to the tasks I can do that the project needs.

You must be earning big time because you've been able to avail or afford those things that Bitcoin has given to you but my question right now is are you still in Bitcoin? I mean I don't know how much you hold but that should be more than one Bitcoin right now have you sold it off? Also, are you holding or doing trading? I am still skeptical as we don't see any proof and it is something that you still need money to purchase a whole Bitcoin way back in 2017 just to achieve what you are saying right now

Wow @Smartgoat Bitcoin has given you what you don't have before and I can imagine your excitements over it, but anyway I will feel great if you tell us how much you invested in Bitcoin and how much profits it gives you and in what year you sold your coins to achieve all that, since you said short period that means you didn't hold for too long and you achived all this things you mentioned.
Although Bitcoin has given a lot of different people chances to make money and some grabbed the chance but some lost it, so if you are one of those that grabbed it that means we are all happy for you.

Definitely happy to see your growth mate. But people here will greed more by seeing your growth. They don’t seeing the struggle behind this to be honest. To make this much amount of money, you need great patience and knowledge. But people are getting only attracted by seeing the profit. You need to analyse every bit of the coins, and buy correctly in order to yield maximum profit. Need to buy the coins now where the price is down and sell when the price is up.

Even though its fantastic that Bitcoin worked out for you, your situation is not typical. Im glad your friend introduced you to Bitcoin and you saw exponential growth in your investments. However, implying that Bitcoin can transform everyone's life and linking it to material advantages is misleading.

First, the fact that it was a windfall for you in 2017 does not guarantee that it will be the same for an investor in 2022. The value of cryptocurrencies fluctuates frequently. Not everyone will have a rags-to-riches story like you. Second, measuring life's achievements in terms of vehicles, houses, and money is a dangerous precedent. What about spiritual development? Psychological well-being? Life is not only about material possessions.

Its wonderful that Bitcoin has provided you with a sense of purpose and a source of income. However, for every success story like yours, there are innumerable others who did not fare as well.

OP, all your statement and achievement looks great but i don't think that it will be possible for you to achieve all these that you claim to achieve with bitcoin because from my understanding, you dont sound like who know so much on bitcoin,talk more of investing in it and making this huge profit that you have used to get all these stuffs. You are new here, and i wonder when and where you learnt about bitcoin. Can you tell us which forum that you mentioned in your thread because i will love to know.

I guess OP can still provide the previous transactions and current address if he is still willing to because year 2017 is one of the crucial year for cryptocurrency that time, but imagine how does not bring become a life changer to the people who bought at that time, and wondering too if OP still accumulates coins until now or waiting for the ATH to sell his holdings.

Bitcoin has given me a lot of things, since ever a friend of mine introduce me Bitcoin investment, it makes me to have Land property and pay my bills and also get married through Bitcoin money has helped me when I was no body, Bitcoin has make me to have value when it comes for financial freedom.

The statistics doesn't add up because when he started at 2017, he seems like still a beginner yet he manage to be financially in this year. It's good to be true but if OP's telling the truth then good for him cause a lot of people doesn't take the suggestion of their friends even telling them the benefits. And I really agree with you that anyone's achievement measured by material things is not a good thing. Cause it would reach to the point that you would look at other people achievements by their properties to material things. I have experienced the great benefit of Bitcoin as it gives me a source of money and it provided my essential needs for a long run. Sharing our experiences in the forum with Bitcoin is actually good as long as it's not from a made up story cause it will just FOMO more newbies.

This is really funny, he call himself smart but I don’t see any attribute of smart in OP. I’m sorry I don’t mean any disrespect but this has shown us the opposite of your name.  ;D ;D

it’s ridiculous how you will make such statements of being new to bitcoin some weeks back and now you are giving testimony of how bitcoin have changed your life after a friend introduced you to it in 2017. So which of your statement do we believe now? This shows you can’t be trusted in anyway and there is every possibility that everything you tell us here on the forum maybe a lie. Bitcoin have changed a lot of life and it could have changed yours too but you don’t have to lie about anything here just to earn merits. If you are new to the forum but have been a bitcoiner for a while now you can still earn yourself some merit and not until you disguise as a newbie.

Note OP: Lies and any other type of indecent acts are not encouraged here in the forum.

Op you are very lucky that you got so much from Bitcoin.But without any proof that you got so much from Bitcoin it is just a story .
In 2017 buying Bitcoin and making a significant profit from it may seem impossible, especially since I'm staying in a post that I had no knowledge any Bitcoin.You are telling in one of your previous post that my friend invested in both and lost everything and then he come to me I guided him and in this post you are telling That my friend guided in Bitcoin investment and I got so much by investing in Bitcoin.your two statements don't match,which proves that this post is just a good post here and not proof that you made such a good profit from Bitcoin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462582.msg62666856#msg62666856

How do you go about reaping the benefits from Bitcoin? It would be wiser to avoid leading others to speculate that your activities are of a negative nature. Bitcoin was conceived as an alternative medium of exchange, and indeed, its price fluctuations can yield profit for an individual.

However, it's important to realize that instant riches from Bitcoin don't guarantee perpetual wealth. You might find yourself in a pitfall on this Bitcoin journey – who can predict?

Hence, consider the wealth you amass from Bitcoin as a preliminary investment in the study of life. Ensure that you remain imaginative and possess a broad range of innovations to uphold your financial stability. While my achievements with Bitcoin may not be as grand as yours, I've employed Bitcoin as my secondary savings vehicle. Moreover, I happen to be someone who purchased Bitcoin with discretionary funds.

6 years of investing in Bitcoin and you were able to earn the amount you mentioned, that's a great achievement. You are considered a strong investor to face every situation that occurs. I am happy to hear the results you received while investing in Bitcoin.
Sometimes everything you get that you mention one by one can make some people not believe it, but for me many investors who invest in Bitcoin have felt it. Otherwise, how could large investors, including companies, continue to invest in Bitcoin to this day.

Great achievements will not happen in a short time. I mean, your story won't be believed because big wins don't happen in one year. For example, when you started investing in 2017, 2018, you told me that you had gotten a big house and so on because you invested in Bitcoin.

I got many things. I don't want to say it because it could invite things that scare me if you know.
More about maintaining privacy :P
In short, not close to your achievement.

I think everything you said is a lie. You said you have been on the the forum since 2017, but taking a peep through your profile shows that your account was created on 5th August 2023. Do you have an alt account or is it not this forum you meant? You did not tell us how much you invested, the profit you realized or what you were able to achieved with your Bitcoin investment. You just cooked up this lies clearly to earn merits.

I also find one of the first topics you created very interesting which contradicts everything you said here. You see how lies can catch up with you? When you make lying your hobby or profession, sometimes you will lie and forgot the lie you told yesterday. This is a serious community and such an act is not acceptable.

I have also the same of the your confessions. I had little or nothing while I  was coming up, But the avenues I have enjoyed throught my involvement in the space has proven that loads of things can happen in this space to help people who are at their low moments.

More people need to hear about the blockchain technology and involve themselves in the dealings to help them get some degree of financial freedom.

I don't know what to really believe OP… On the one hand I would like to believe you because these kinds of stories inspire me about Bitcoin and I like to see how people succeed in their lives thanks to managing and investing Bitcoin…  the other hand there is the proof from Nwada001, and based on the fact that you said that you didn't know anything about Bitcoin, it makes me doubt if you really have a Bitcoin and also everything that you indicated that you have. I just want to think that if you invested in Bitcoin during 2017, but that you simply bought without know and thanks to fate the play turned out very well and that you are currently trying to learn about what you have invested in bitcoin... Which seems to me not very advisable, because you should have educated yourself before making any type of investment, that is called a little financial education. On the other hand, if that is the case, I am glad that your investment is paying off, although I imagine that you must have had a great loss when Bitcoin reached very low prices, I hope you have known how to manage your investment at that time and keep learning more about Btc.

The op achievement according to his story is achieve through proper applications of DCA approach to bitcoin accumulation and periodic market approach, because from ops story he invested in Bitcoin since 2017 and there after got involved in some Bitcoin discussion forum but not mentioned if it bitcointalk forum so for that he should have hard some good knowledge of the market and how to properly analyze the market to make proper DCA decisions.
But then also it worth noting that there have been some discovered inconsistencies in the OP story and other stories he had mentioned in his previous posts and that point to a high rate of inconsistency and at that should be regarded as make-up stories that will make any of our contributions and response to this thread a total waste of time because we are feed will false stories to discuss with.

Thanks for sharing your success story that would encourage more new people to invest in Bitcoin. For me, Bitcoin directly helped me to change my life as well. Once a time I worked abroad and have been doing a job. Though my position was good and it was enough to survive right away, it wasn't enough to do something big. But once I involved with Bitcoin my lifestyle changed. Though I haven't bought a car even though I am capable of buying, I built my own home from my Bitcoin earnings. Besides the signature campaign, I have been working crypto marketing service. So that's how I became established.

This is a great achievement but you need to understand that there is already available thread you can drop this your posts. Bitcoin has helped so many people especially those people that are always ready to learn about how to earn from cryptocurrency without being too much in a haste. Once we are ready to learn Bitcoin and the Crypto market at large, we are going to be benefiting from the market through our holdings without much stress. Your achievement is quite impressive and this will tell a story to those people that really want to earn from Bitcoin and don't know how.

It’s obvious that this story was fabricated to farm merits, there is sentimental value attached to this sort of topics and there are people who may get excited and send merits to the OP. But this OP isn’t smart enough to stick to one story. If you check his previous posts you will find his storyline to be inconsistent, today he is a newbie and the next day he’s a old time bitcoin investor. I’m glad no one has given this kind of posts any merit lately, it will discourage others from starting in-genuine content.

I will be excited if you showcase the proof your achievements in bitcoin because I know that bitcoin investment do give profit and many more of investors benefit from the investment, so is not that I'm doubting you for your investment, some people have a their own way of life and their own way of understanding basic things of life concerning bitcoin, achievement of things with bitcoin is of different categories which I believe that bitcoin investment have to do with things that is good when you know the basic ways of running bitcoin investment.

pretty much followed the same story as you had. I was a high school student back then too with nothing but my wits to my name. I stumbled upon this website in a whim and from then on, things started to change for me. I became affluent enough to support myself and my family (mom and dad), even went so far as to have enough money for my other investments and help other people get into bitcoin and crypto too once I felt confident about imparting the knowledge I gathered over the years. To me bitcoin is a great financial weapon in one way or another that could level the playing field between the rich and the average middle-income earner, perhaps even the poor ones. But without proper money managemetn and financial literacy I don't think I'll get here, so the "achievements" are still not necessarily just because I relied solely on bitcoin, but also because I came prepared.

Seriously OP Bitcoin hasn't given you what you want you just made it up that Bitcoin has given you all you made mentioned.
Was asking myself these storyline you gave us who wrote it for you before coming here to post it? Mehn.. dude you killed it.
OP the only set of people that'll believe this story you have us about your life would be children between the ages of 2-3.
The lies about Bitcoin achievement in this Forum is just too much and I think we need an investigator 😅 to get those who are faking stories to gain whatever they feel they'd gain. OP easy with the lies 😔.

Op, please don't get me wrong but with all the things mentioned here in your thread, I can assume that you probably invested huge amount from that 2017 to 2021 because I believe that's when you might have sold because Bitcoin actual hit a good number from 2017 to 2021 because if there is any possiblity to your claims then it's definitely going to be around this period because anything from that is dip bear market which wasn't favourable to sell. Well I don't want to sound like a critic here so I would just tell you thanks for sharing your Bitcoin investment experience.

This is possibly a made-up story because there are quoted message from @OP that was posted just a few weeks ago admitting that he knows nothing about Bitcoin.  I think @OP has very wide and deep imagination and is good at story telling especially the fairytale one.  ;D.  Or you could thank @OP for a good bedtime story.

But the issue of the story of @OP aside, I believe the stated situation really happens in other people since I have seen many people who participated in Bitcoin in its early years are way better now.  I know a guy who works abroad got his early retirement because he got involved in cryptocurrency.  He earned a lot he can live in comfort even without working.  He happened to buy a house worth $140k+ from his cryptocurrency earnings and I believe he got also got married to his second wife since he got divorced years ago.

This story means that if we are serious enough with our engagement with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, with the knowledge and experience, will be beneficial for us.

As much as I agree that most problems stem from finances, I must say that most problems that we can think can easily be avoided altogether, we're just so used to solving stuff with money that we are too dependent on it. Looking at financial problems in a new way helped me not worry too much about where to get the payments for these especially learning stuff about not being more materialistic helps a lot.
That's what I'm saying, the inconsistency in the story and the timeframe that OP has achieved those stuff isn't something that you can just do in a short span of time unless you already have the money which in my opinion isn't a definition of being down on your luck.

It sounds simple but will you admit to me that everything in this world is measured in money? And today we not only depend on money but money decides all our problems. What I'm saying may sound like I'm just someone who lives for money but I don't want to deny the truth and that's what I feel is going on around me. Nowadays everything is measured in money, I really can't think of anything that is not measured in money.
You say you've found a new way to look at financial problems. Which way is that?

Before you invested in Bitcoin, your life was not positive, you were actually tired of life because you never knew what to do with your life. This was supposed to mean that your life was useless and you had no money and glory be to God that now you have gotten money to marry, have children and have gotten car and house all adls a result of the Investment you made when your life was not positive when you had no money and even nothing to eat. How come you have that amount of money to invest that time?
If you actually had such amount of money for an investment that brought this benefit now, it means your life was not actually as bad as you described it. I do not want to sound like a critics or whatever, but I believe Bitcoin can only give profit of whatever you invested.

And an absolute Richard Mark cannot invest in Bitcoin.

If you were able to invest in Bitcoin around the early months of 2017, then I guess you bought Bitcoin around the $1k+ zone. If I am correct, then you are lucky because, with the 2020 all-time high of Bitcoin, you might have really made a huge profit.


Although I don't know if you are being real or not, if truly you have archived all that you mentioned with Bitcoin investment, then you should have also invested your profit on other assets or even businesses, which will allow you to not only have Bitcoin as your source of income. Having Bitcoin as your only source of income is not very good advice that has been given to anyone.

I'm glad to hear that, most people now understand what bitcoin investment is all about. Before, not everyone would have believed you when you told them about bitcoin and how it changed people's lives. I think when they see you achieving some of your goals—building a house and buying a car, for example—it will inspire them, Instead of letting all of your money come from bitcoin, push to expand your sources of income by establishing some more businesses. Although you can continue to purchase numerous coins, I'm just advising that you add a business part to it so that you are not dependent on one method, because we are unable to predict bitcoin's future. This is nice story, an outstanding achievement and source of motivation, OP I'm sure that your success with bitcoin will inspire many people in your community to join and begin investing in order to change their life stories.

I think this advice if yours is not only bound to Bitcoin investment because almost all financial business where one seem to thrive is advisable not to keep and hope on only one source because the more you expand and widen your business the better profits and also safety sound when it's comes to security measures. I believe having all your assets In particular coins is not advisable although it's optional as some individual tend to think otherwise.

Let me just make one brief point: not everyone shows off their financial situation or hardships. It doesnt follow that someone didnt have anything just because they were going through a difficult time. Perhaps they simply saved prudently, avoided splurging, and made a well-informed purchase while Bitcoin was still very cheap.

Lets not overlook the emotional cost either. Even with a small amount saved up, financial stress might show itself as feelings of alienation or desolation. I have known some people named Richard Mark who have done fairly well in the cryptocurrency business, for what thats worth. Since everyone's experience is different, lets remember that your admiration for the cryptocurrency industry is appreciated.

I won't admit something that's not true, everything is a big word and you're using it lightly. If you're saying that everything's measured or has some equivalent in money then friendship, camaraderie, and some human experience that I don't know about are all worthless without money? That's where you're wrong, you don't have to think that money is causing you the problems or that all your current problems will be solved by money, our masters want us to think that way so we work harder and make them more money. I'm not saying you're wrong but you are coming off as someone that would be empty if money isn't involved in the equation of your life.

OP, very nice achievement. OP How long did you hold bitcoin?  From reading your story, it sounds like you have been holding Bitcoin for a long time. So you got good profit. Not only you, those who confidently invested in Bitcoin before 2021 and held it for a long time, have also reaped huge profits.

A good catch! This kinda fabricated story will never seize from Forum but what surprise me is the fact that the aim for it which is very obvious about getting merit is not longer working for them and they still keep on doing it. This is one good reason why it's good to remain truthful all the time because when you lie once you'll need to continue lying in order to cover up the first lie which if care is not taken you will contradict yourself and here it happened.

Since 2017 that you were introduced to bitcoin but choose to create your account last month is understandable but saying that you have also been contributing to the forum is where you expose yourself. By the way I have a quick question, does bitcoin investment serve as source of income?

My achievement, I drove a Camry but now I am driving a Lambo. ;D

Even though it seems like a made-up story just give him the benefit of the doubt guys

Now math time,

If he actually invested in 2017 the price was around $1000 lowest of 2017. So if he didn't sell it all the way until its ATH which is around $65K means he made $64K in returns and let's say he paid $4K as tax now he still had $60K but I am not sure in which part of the world it is enough to satisfy

Buying a house
Car (possible)
Married (possible)
Children (definitely possibly remember COVID lockdowns and increase in birthrate).

Conclusion: If he skipped the house part then there is some credibility to this story. ;)

It's his own story and we all don't know what kind of experience he got from the two bull market experience he have. Maybe he got really lucky with the investment he made and bought the house we think is impossible. There are people who instantly get rich overnight this is why I think the story is possible knowing that he didn't mention the things he did and not even the one whole bitcoin that you are pertaining. I'm sure that he didn't bought a whole bitcoin when he is starting as he is broke that time. For now let's believe OP, it's his story after all.

I am also very interested in knowing what @Latviand new way of looking at financial problem is.  If it can help us ease the burden of financial problems I hope that @Latviand can share it here in the forum.


Are you in any way being sponsored by someone where you do not need to worry about the source of funds to spend for your daily living?  If we do not solve any problem that needs money with money then what is your approach in solving them?

Achieving anything good in Bitcoin is determined on the way you start for your Bitcoin race many people who invest in bitcoins does not have in mind that the investment will come outside something good or something bad before investing and sometimes when you have your time to peruse into the technology of Bitcoin and comprehend it properly theirs nothing that will make you not to propagate towards the investment. I like many people testify about bitcoin.

Op, after I read all your story, I decided to believe, and I was so happy for you to have had a great opportunity to achieve what you have claimed you had achieved, but going down to other members comments on this thread you created, I went to check your other posts, and I see that you are giving different stories that seem to be fabricated, which nobody will believe whenever you tell a real story. If a forum is where we can learn from others people support, lying will be very poisonous because others will also learn from you.

It is such a shame that people fabricate those stories in order to try to gain merit, as there is no other reason I can imagine other than simply lying for the sake of it, there are many real success stories out there and we do not need made up lies, after all someone which is not part of this market reading this may believe that all of those stories they read online were a lie, and that they have no chance at all to make money and decide to not invest in bitcoin as a result of posts like the one in the OP.

It's not a new way of looking at financial problems, being content with what you have and choosing peace of mind over chaos isn't that difficult to do. The only thing that I can share about my thoughts on all these is that if it will disturb your peace, tread lightly and sometimes in life, the less you know the better.

I have work and it pays a decent amount and I try to be not too materialistic, if you think about it, if I am sponsored then I would be hypocritical of me to tell you that being content and not chasing money is the key to a less stress life. Regarding your last question, think of your Internet bills, if you break it down to it's simplest form, you can live without it right? Then that means that you can easily discard having an Internet. But of course that only applies to some stuff, medical bills will not be paid in philosophical shit, we're still living in a capitalist and materialistic world, it would be stupid of us not to play the game a little.

@OP, I hope you are happy with what you have gotten with bitcoin.
Even if the story is true, we can only congratulate him but if not, it is a story that might inspire people who have just joined this forum.
But whatever it is, we can learn from the stories we get from anywhere to develop the potential within us and be even better.
Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, that's @OP's story and we have our own stories we want to make with bitcoin.

I don't really understand,  how is bitcoin a source of income for you? Is it that bitcoin gives you money to solve all your problems without investing in it. You just make it sounds as if bitcoin job where you get every of your money.  Bitcoin can't just be a source of income,  you can  only invest in bitcoin which you can get gains that can help you financially,  and this can only be achieved if only the investment is long term.
Is it very possible to  get all this your achievements from bitcoin just in a short time? I know bitcoin is much profitable investment when it is longterm. I think  this is the kind of stories beginners hears about bitcoin and think they can achieve a lot from bitcoin in a very short time. I expected you to give good details about your bitcoin achievements to help others to go into theirs in a proper way.

Bitcoin is not source of income but jobs are. With jobs, a person can get income that can be paid through fiat currency, Bitcoin, stable coin or altcoin.

A person must get income through working or from passive income like referral earnings from exchanges or online platforms.
Nowadays can not claim it from faucets enough to be considered as income. Days for big faucets are years ago.

Get 5 free bitcoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.0)
https://web.archive.org/web/20100703032414/http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/

One thing here is Bitcoin is an investment and not really a consistent source of income since it doesnt really give consistent income something like a full-time job. Its very risky to make Bitcoin your only source of income doing something like daily trading.

For sure Bitcoin is going to change our life, I mean when I already knew and learned what cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is it's really the key to changing my mindset in the long term and it really changed me making me more conscious when it comes to my finance, started to learn how to earn, how to become rich, how to invest, how to save something like that. For me, the mindset is just what you need in order to become successful.

I was listening to a podcast about finance, and one thing really hit me on what I heard, If you going to give money like 1millon dollars to someone who doesnt have the right mindset you could easily expect that after a month all of the money is gonna and they already spend it to something. But if you're going to give it to someone who has the right mindset after a month probably the million dollars is already multiplied because he probably invested it in something not just spend it on his wants.

We cannot underestimated the capacity of how bitcoin could help alleviate lives through diverse means, he has given his own experience with bitcoin and i believe many other people have also got one or more other things to point on as achievement with bitcoin investment, to make it more practical and real, you can get rich and have some achievement with bitcoin if you know what you're doing  others may not have your same kind if experience because what you all did are different on same bitcoin investment.

We all love to read or hear stories like what you've shared here. They make us feel excited and put us in good sprit. You know, it's always a good feeling when we reckon that something worthy and positive is happening with Bitcoin. However, I'm not excited as others here. My reason been that I don't agree with what you shared on 2 & 3. They look a bit bogus. For starters, before anyone tells me it's possible, I know it's possible but that will be with huge amount of cash invested. Such would've been possible with those who've been in Bitcoin and not newbies. Except OP, you're able to show cause that you invested heavily. Otherwise, I go with my guts that you must've invested with caution like a typical newbie would do and that wouldn't amount to what you said you were able to achieve with your involvement with Bitcoin within the years mentioned, in less than six years. I doubt.

Bitcoin investment is good but before you invest in bitcoin have to know the difference between bitcoin investment and other kind of investment, some people have being investing in bitcoin for years but they have not show up what they have benefited from bitcoin investment, op" like as you show up your investment benefits, some times when you make profit in bitcoin investment you won't like people to know, but when we lose will raise alarm for people to notice that we have lose, I will not justify you because what you say maybe true or not, and I don't need to tell to show me evidence before I will agree with you.

At least one who doubts OP's words. Already good.

Everything becomes clear if you question the text written in the first post. I can’t say what motivated the author, but everything written seems to be fiction, and then everything falls into place. Otherwise, a rosy success story emerges from his words, thanks to bitcon. Well, you see, it sounds implausible: he got everything - his own house, car, apartment, family and children, wealth. What did I miss? A typical successful success out of thin air.

That's it. I would believe it if an early bitcoin investor wrote this from an old account. And so, for me it looks like a bluff or a stupid joke that other beginners can believe in their ignorance. It should be remembered that bitcoin is not a tool for solving all life's problems, with which it is confused.

But why will be doubting someone story, when I created my topic concerning my gas station and I allowed two methods of payment both fiat payment and cryptocurrency payment, but in cryptocurrency payment I made it to be known that it will be bitcoin, but many people doubted it, why it was real, as it stands now the business is in progress and the challenge I faced is that Bitcoin is falling every time because I was not exchanging the bitcoin, but I only save the coin for future because I have other business that gives me money, I can't doubt op, because some have known bitcoin before being registered in the forum and some know bitcoin through the forum,  any story given by anybody if you don't like the story then you ask for proof, so that they will be provision of evidence to present than argument.

This is totally limited into those people who had been able to accumulate Bitcoin into those early years specially into those who had invested tons or lots when its still cheap. This isnt only applicable on Bitcoin alone but also

in other coins that we do have in the market on which it could really give out that kind of achievement but of course it would really be entirely be depending on how much you had risks on a certain coin/token
on the time that it was just starting on which not anyone could be able to hit that spot specially when a certain solid project or does have potential is just starting up. It would really be giving out that
life changing opportunity if you are really that doing your best on making investment but of course it should really be done with care and proper research.

You cant really just throw out your cash and invest on everything because we know that not all the time that investments ends up positive. Speaking about Bitcoin achievement then i did
really be able to fully bought a car in mortgage until i have finished it for 5 years using up my income here on crypto space which i could say that it is really that an achievement.

Good for you. But remember, not everyone gets "lucky" and not everyone can transform their life after investing in Bitcoin. You probably took a very risky move, and got lucky. You invested what you couldn't afford to lose.. which is what most people wouldn't recommend. There are people like you that thought crypto currencies would "change" their life, but instead, the opposite happened.
To address some of your points,

1. Not sure what wife and kids has to do with bitcoin.
2. Being able to afford a house just by investing in bitcoin sounds like you got very lucky or you have bought when the prices were very low and kept holding.
3. Tricking?
4. Don't make it your source of income, or the next day you will have to end  up selling your house and car.

1. I think he was talking about being rich and having money, that helped him have a happy family, that's also normal.  because many people don't dare to think about a small family when they have nothing, but when they are successful, having a wife and children is what they will think about.
2. Bitcoin brings significant profits, but to be able to buy a house or a car requires a lot of initial capital or he was a very early investor when bitcoin prices were still very cheap.
4. There are still some people who consider trading and investing as their main source of income, but those who do so are rare.  I don't believe the OP has done that with his knowledge.   this story is more unrealistic and more fabricated.

I don't think there's any individual that has been investing in Bitcoin for years that haven't benefited from investing in Bitcoin. If they have been investing correctly by buying and holding Bitcoin in their personal wallet then they should be in profit. Not every individuals loves to brag about what they have or have achieved. Some individual prefer to live a silent life as it helps them to avoid attention and bring envious people to their life.

The world is evil and people are looking for opportunity to harm you for having a better life than they're having because of jealousy. I'm not saying it's not good to tell people about your achievement but we should be careful who we tell so we don't tell the wrong individuals.

This is indeed a great and wonderful achievements. Kudos to you OP for achieving all of these. These kind of posts wherein people share the things they were able to achieve through the assistance of Bitcoin or by using Bitcoin (may it be a simple or extravagant achievements) inspires others. For example, if I am someone who just pulled out my coins from a bad investment I will obviously be feeling down and my motivation to invest again will be in an all time low, but (depending on our different mindset) once I see posts like this I'd probably find my motivation back. "Oh, then there's still hope, maybe I'll be able to do the same", I'd probably find myself thinking.

Nevertheless, congratulations again OP.

It's obvious you're not going to know what others are holding as bitcoin investment or the progress they have made over time if they didn't tell you about them, everyone try to go low and remain secretive about his bitcoin investment lifestyle except for few renown individuals and organizations who couldn't keep silent about it than to make public appearance of their holding capacity amd possibly the way they have been opportuned coming across with bitcoin investment ever.

Bitcoin is certainly a life changer, and your life is definitely a big proof. You did a great job dude, congrats.

I have also my own dreams with bitcoin, and for now I’m still in the process of fulfilling them. My life has already started to change a little, now I can start buying some of those things that I only used to window shop before. Before we only rented a small house, now we are already living in an apartment that is more comfortable to live with. And if before I hardly find some funds to treat my parents, now I can easily treat them in fancy restaurants and give them some spare money whenever I gained some decent profits from bitcoin.

Firstly, Op, you need to understand that this forum is where you can learn and progress if you are really serious and know what you are doing here, so focus on being you here and you will be able to know what to do. Creating many threads that are not meaningful because you want to earn merits won’t help you; the day you joined the forum, you created a thread telling people that you know nothing about bitcoin. And you need people to guide you, so I’m surprised to see this now that you've invested in bitcoin since 2017. It looks funny, but at the same time, you are lying, so I think you should calm yourself down and learn what brought you here. You can’t earn merit by creating threads like this that are not meaningful.
