Bitcoin Forum

Many of us has been into Bitcoin investment and also in bitcointalk for years like eight to seven [8-7] years, but they can't  account what they have benefited from bitcointalk morally and financially, I know that many people will not like to mention their achievements in bitcoins investment and also what they acquired through bitcointalk because of security purposes, but I think is good for we let people who condemned bitcoin investment know what we have achieved since we are into Bitcoin investment

Myself I have achieved different things since I joined bitcointalk, both through investment in bitcoin and also learning from Bitcointalk..the following is what I achieved from Bitcoin and also in bitcointalk,

• I used bitcoins investment money, when bitcoins was seventeen thousands [17k] i inveted on it, and used the profit in the investment to complete my building structure in 2025
• I used signature campaign funds to establish motor tyres shop, and today the business has grown large
• I learnt risk management in trading through bitcointalk
• I learnt how to make a proper research before venturing into investment through bitcointalk
• I acquired different knowledge which I can't mention all through bitcointalk

So I want use this medium to ask people who has invested on Bitcoin more than three [3] years and also people who has been in bitcointalk over four to seven [4-7] years what they have achieved from Bitcoin investment and bitcointalk community.

Note The reason why I didn't add the images of my house and the images of my motor tyres shop, is because I don't want this thread to look as a merit phishing.

It's the internet space and lots of person wouldn't want to share some of these kind of information. And again some persons are still holding on to their Bitcoin but still can't speak for everyone though.

Well congratulations to you mate, for your wonderful achievement but for someone like me who haven't stayed in the crypto space for up to that amount of years I think am good with still gathering the pieces together.

I guess I just want to share a little. My biggest achievement is that it allowed me to retire early and helped me build my dream house. Now, I haven’t been working for many years. I run a small business while staying active in crypto doing some investing, trading, and of course, participating in the forum. The only thing is, most of what I earn from my signature campaign doesn’t go into the business. Instead, I use it for gambling. But at least I have some extra funds to support that hobby.

 Well I'd say I've achieved a lot from joining this space in the little time I've been here and just as you've mentioned, knowledge about Bitcoin was the topmost thing that got me through. It's really important to not be knowledgeable in only a particular area and then be satisfied because with the way the world has revolved every skill and information you can lay your hands on would always come in handy and thanks to Bitcointalk, I can say that what I've learned is really paving a way for me.
 I may not have built me a house, but at least I can say I'm self employed thanks to the little business signature campaign funds has helped me open and don't have to rely on government jobs alone before I can pay my bills or feed the family.

Aside from earning funds for myself, I also developed various online skills that helped me land different jobs. Initially, I spent my earnings on things like phones, laptops, and even a motorcycle since I was still a student back then. Those purchases played a role in shaping who I am today. Now, the knowledge, skills, and tools I’ve acquired are being used for both my business and jobs. It was indeed an investment.

For now I have gained more knowledge from the forum than any monetary profit from the forum investment since I joined this forum that's private, and I also have not earned enough from the signature campaign to boast of what I have achieved with it.

Congratulations to you, and thanks to the forum knowledge and earnings for helping you achieve your desire.

For now, my biggest achievement from bitcoin and its bitcointalk forum is the fact that I’m no longer a slave of working 8 hours a day just to sustain my family needs. With my income from signature campaign, I can now raise my family on my own and if God’s will, I can also establish my own business in the near future. Though I’m still not making it totally big here, but getting an income more than what my daily job offered me before, this is already a big accomplishment for me.

Actually the most important thing to gain from forum is to learn or understand what you don't know before,  so I think from my perspective that should be the primary concern of anyone who is in this community, because the knowledge we acquired in bitcointalk can be useful to us when we apply it efficiently.

My biggest flex on what I have achieved on bitcointalk and as well as in investing in bitcoin is that I have never gotten hacked, scammed, or had any physical attack because I am involved with bitcoin. Thanks to all the valuable information being shared here, the ongoing useful conversations around these topics. I am able to protect my assets, my devices, and my self from these cyberattacks. I am constantly, getting myself updated, in my estimation, most of the conversations on these topics are a mini cybersecurity course for me. And the stories shared as too serve as case studies. Happy to be here and to say it has been worth it.

Bitcoin Talk expanded a LOT of my Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency general knowledge even before joining the forum as a member.  Any questions I had were eventually answered by discussions on the forum.  Now of course you need to browse through actually useful topics.  If you do, you are guaranteed to learn a lot more than you thought you could and as a newbie you very quickly learn about critical mistakes and behavior.

As for my Bitcoin investment, I progressed to a point where I am able to hold and go down together with my Bitcoin and not care or be emotionally affected no matter how hard the drop is.  The world would be fucked with not even Bitcoin existing any more.  If it drops dead then so be it.

I often mention that bitcointalk’s signature campaigns have given me some extra income. But what many people don’t know is that bitcointalk also played the reason of my gambling addiction. I’ve shared this before here in bitcointalk many times. With all those constant promotions by online casinos especially those with irresistible offers (slot contest exclusively for bitcointalk besides having slot contest in their platform), it became hard not to give them a try. And in the end, the money I used for gambling almost always ended up lost. Yes sometimes I get lucky, but more often I’m unlucky.

So right now I don't have any bitcoins left because of gambling...

Full of motivation from your story, I personally have never thought of doing what you have done, and one of the things that inspires me is using the funds from the signature campaign for real-world work, I think it is very impressive especially to the point of success in the business like you did. So far I have only used the funds to invest in crypto, especially Bitcoin, but after hearing your story, it opened my mind to open a business in the real world and one of the things I think about is continuing my parents' business by opening a new branch, because I have always thought about this business.

If you are already doing a job or running a business then this forum is an ideal place to add another source of income. Signature campaigns, giving out loans are just few ways one can earn here.
bitcointalk.org is my primary source of gathering bitcoins in self custodian wallet because of strict crypto regulations here in my country using credit card for buying Bitcoin is risky. Without this forum, it would be nearly impossible for a person like me to gather Bitcoins.   

If I want to speak the truth, I well say that I have known about cryptocurrency for this Bitcointalk.org forum. I will be forever grateful for this forum. I started walking with this forum in 2017. I have been separated from this forum for a long time due to a problem in my middle. The Forum has given me a lot of money, I have made a lot of work from here. Which I can not express in language. The Forum has given me a lot in life. I want to stay with this forum for many more days.

I would cheers to that. Believe me, it looks like an easy stuff to not experience these ones you mentioned but I tell you, there are other who, even though they aren't victims of all you mentioned, at least they fall prey to one and most times it's scamming.
I agree with you on this because I don't see much difference between here and those online classes one takes to learn about these stuffs, the only major difference being that you'd get a certification. It's sad that some people come here mostly for the signature campaigns and not the knowledge because it's free here and what you'd know, depending on how much dedication you put into it can serve you further in life but I feel that since it's free, most people take it for granted.

I agree that the knowledge gained from here is invaluable. Yeah financial gains are great but the real achievement is understanding how to navigate the crypto space more wisely. Personally I’ve learned how to assess projects better, avoid scams and make more informed decisions and lessons that extend beyond Bitcoin into other areas of investment and blockchain tech. This forum has been more than a resource it is a community that keeps me grounded and growing.

Financial gains in bitcointalk can be huge. Especially for those who stst4ed campaigns in 2017, 2018, as bitcoin price skyrocketed after 2021. It was relatively easy to accumulate 1 btc here

Ofc the knowledge gains are huge, specially when I have doubts I always ask in the forum and get good answers.

I doubt that anybody can stay on this forum for 7-8 years without gaining anything, it's just not possible except the person isn't active at all on the forum and if you're active your account won't rank up.
I've been on this forum barely 3 years and I can't even quantify what I've benefited from the forum. I knew about bitcoin before joining this forum, but I learnt so much since joining the forum, things I probably wouldn't have known had I not joined.
I learnt to be better at research and I focused more on my skill and today I earn more money from the skill. Thats why I said I cant quantify what I've gained from this forum because it has affected other areas of my life positively.   

This one, I have a ongoing business back then when I joined 5 years ago, and the joining a signature campaign extend my budget for a week for that family. And then when I just hold and learn to invest, my money grows that left me put money in my business and help me a lot thru my learning and growing pains.

So thanks to Bitcointalk, majority of us might have save a lot of money already for those who are here longer than me. But maybe just like me, they have that kind of strategy and now enjoying financial freedom.

It's not that I'm not grateful, but I "only" achieved a lot of money.

For sure I also get knowledge and anything about Bitcoin in this forum, this make me know how to use Bitcoin in depth.

I didn't use any of my coins to upgrade my house, start a business, invest in other asset/project etc. It's really I get paid in Bitcoin, I leave it, if I get paid in USDT or any other altcoins, I convert it to Bitcoin and I leave it.

Bitcointalk really saves me, if I didn't know this forum, I can't imagine what my life would be.

Lots of good opportunities to learn, test new things out, and keep the grind going, even though it's hard and demands a lot.

Also, lots of inspiration from lots of different stories / people.

The answers will be personal for everyone and though I may not have achieved a lot yet as some others would have in terms of building a house et cetera I'm very glad about the exposure that these forum has helped me gotten because based on my gender, it's very difficult being exposed to the kind of information I've gotten in this forum if I don't have people around me like this. The average woman in my environment is not interested in anything cryptocurrency, investment or even trading, their interest is mostly in what a man can do for them and that has never been my thing. This forum has helped me a lot even more than I can mention.

Great to hear that almost all people there look at your experience / knowledge rather than how you look / what are your details / etc.

The forum exists to exchange thoughts and keep the discussions and thought processes going 8)

I think anyone who has been on the forum for a long time has learned a lot of positive things. It is hard to imagine that someone who has been reading and regularly communicating on the forum for five years or more will not learn anything. Therefore, we all have different achievements that do not require clarification, but both the forum and Bitcoin itself have certainly changed everyone for the better. Speaking about myself, my knowledge of crypto until I learned about the forum was not entirely positive. Without knowing all the little things, Bitcoin seemed like an empty and unnecessary coin to me that had nothing useful for me. But time changes people, and I am grateful to fate that I found this forum, these wonderful people, and all the knowledge that continues to grow.

^ Great to hear that knowledge comes a long way, and we may be skeptical of most of the concepts in question, but if we work hard, we will debunk most of them.

The obvious one is profit. Investment from bitcoin also came from what I have earned from the forum through campaigns. It has helped a lot and has been able to support me and my family during tough times. I have also learned a lot from the forum. Not just through investing in crypto but just in life in general. From being in the community for a while now, I have become familiar with the same members and have definitely built some respect between each other.

It's not possible for the person not spend from what he or she received through bitcointalk signature campaign since 2017 and 2018, I think that gambling can't allow us to save, myself without gambling I would have record a higher profile of achievement more than what I had right now, it's not easy to save but it's easier to spend.

Drum rolls as myself and others that hasn't been quiet consistent on bitcoin or hasn't really done too much takes a seat to learn from the gurus and set some goals. Hopefully we can come back to this topic a year from now to make these testimonies as well.
I brought pop corn for my fellow spectators

The forum thus helped me to DCA better, I learned from people who have been on here before me, I've been able to buy more BTC and held, and maybe someday I can be a proud owner of more than half a Bitcoin.

I have also did some experiments for exposure sake and I did lost some money, but who moves forward without making mistakes ? I guess no one, its been good and bad all along but still thankful.

This cycle isn't over yet, I do have some achievements to share on here, hopeful it will be a good one maybe some upcoming forum members can learn from mine too just as I learnt from some other members on this forum.

Depends, you do not have to gamble with what you get. Sure, I do, and that is a mistake and I shouldn't and I should just save it, and that should be a smart way but that doesn't mean that we are dealing with something specifically about gambling. Even if it is a casino, if you end up taking money from them, you could withdraw it and then invest it and wait for it to go up.

So in theory, someone who did signature campaign 5-10 years ago, could keep all of that and make some money, I know some people that did. I didn't, that is my mistake and I should have known better, but financially I had a horrible past five years, everything sucked and thanks to signature campaigns, I managed to pay most of my problems slowly with them.

Reading all these achievements from members of this forum is indeed therapeutic and satisfying. It just goes to prove that Bitcointalk is the place to be and that Bitcoin is a force and the way forward.

I started embracing Bitcoin not too long ago. We all know what critics of Bitcoin have said about it. As someone who values perfect reviews from any form of investment, I once believed those criticisms, but not anymore.

I can't say I have achieved much for now, but I have become more interested in technology, blockchain, financial freedom, decentralization, and crypto at large. The kind of knowledge I have acquired since joining this forum is enough to pave the way for me. In a few years, I will be able to give a detailed explanation of my achievements, but for now, let me just HODL!

If we can actually count achievements based on the knowledge of gotten since I joined up, the. You can count one for me

Before I joined up, I thick I lacked a lot when it comes to what I know of Bitcoin. Trust me, I’m still getting to learn more and hope to go deeper into the technical aspect which I’m not grounded in but yeah. The forum has been really helpful and encouraging. Not just the informations you come hy here daily but, the much people that share your interest and how much other people know inspires you to want to know more.

At least, I can say a few words to people about Bitcoin and not be so wrong. That’s a plus for me and it feels great.

I have thought of this before but I thought this kind of thread will not be treated well since it'sore of a private lifestyle. I have achieved alot from the Bitcointalk' community. One of them is motor byk for person transportation, I bought land which I used for cultivation of crop. Training of livestock, and I am even planing for more other physical investment that will provide more income to invest in Bitcoin in the future. I will save this thread as a reminder when my investment from Bitcointalk' has matured. then I will revisit this thread or I create a new one expressing myself in detail and my achievement from BTT.

Wow, those are a bunch of amazing things you've achieved through the years and I can only wish I could do only 20% of that. When I first came to know about Bitcoin, I didn't have funds to invest in it because I was a student, and all that I used to get was pocket money and it was never enough for me to invest it in Bitcoin. I always knew Bitcoin has great potential but I just couldn't do much to use that opportunity to make my future better and you could do it, congratulations for that.

When it comes to Bitcointalk, I think I have learned most of the things that I know about this industry from this forum, not mentioning the earnings from signature campaigns that are a great support. Now I use some percentage of the earnings to buy and hold Bitcoin because now I can do it without any problems.

Congratulations OP. If what you're saying is true, you've used bitcoin to start a business, which tied your whole life with bitcoin and bitcointalk. This is how we make history.

I bought my first coins in the 2016 bear market, so that was very cheap, although I thought at that time that it's a lot of money spent on something that could at any moment be destroyed by the government. Wish I knew then what I know now ;)

Bitcointalk was definitely where I got my confidence from. Without it I probably wouldn't buy BTC at all, or at least not at the price that I did.

From this forum I have learnt a lot regarding Bitcoin. At the beginning, when I was introduced to Bitcoin, I really didn't care about Bitcoin. Because I didn't have enough knowledge, and I didn't bother to invest in it as well. So after joining the forum, I know about Bitcoin and how it does work. Step by step, I learnt about Bitcoin technology and other altcoins as well. I got benefits from Bitcoin investment as well as from altcoins also. So I can simply say the forum helped me to change my life.

The rest are benefits you stated in the main post. I am also earning directly from the forum through signature campaigns and campaign management as well. I learnt crypto marketing from the forum and applied it on different platforms also. So overall this forum changed my life.

Bitcointalk has been very helpful to me in so many ways. From earning something to pay for bills and other necessary expenses and the time that I was hospitalized last 2018. A lot of funds used for payment was because of the coins that I sold in the trading market. I believe that's one of the biggest expenses that I had spend with the help of crypto. Up until now, with what I am earning from this market, I am still using it for my basic expenses while I save some. This forum I believe, have helped a lot of crypto users to survive with their own daily grind.

Being on the Forum for 7-8 years should make you fall in the categories of millionaires in Bitcoin/$ and a billionaire in your local currency, this is because such long term knowledge and experience acquisition is enough to build you a generational wealth already and for that such time have been well spent seeing your achievements and the level you have attained, most and all of us here both the OGs like ke you and the newcomer like us we all have gained some level of Bitcoin related knowledge and investment and financial management experience to the point that we can say boldly that we are now financially independent so yeah that is a great achievement to all of here.

I have gained so much in terms of cryptocurrency knowledge since I joined this forum, experienced members don't hesitate to share their knowledge and experience to guide newbies and also share information with fellow experienced members. I have learnt many Bitcoin phrases to guide me against making mistakes and avoid being scammed and hacked. Some of these things are 'not your keys not your coins ', 'keep your coins in a none custodial wallet', don't store your seed phrase in an online device ', hide your private keys in more than one location ', ' invest/trade/ gamble with amounts that you can afford to loose ', DYOR and many others. These tips sounds very simple but if you don't know them you can lose your coins out of ignorance. Besides cryptocurrency I also get informed and educated about economics, politics, lifestyles and societies. I hope to achieve so much more by the time I stay active in the forum for the next few years, this is a good place to be.

It's on this forum where I learned a lot about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency in general, and a hundred other related things. When I first heard of Bitcoin, it was outside of this forum. My doubts and suspicions wouldn't have been sufficiently addressed had I not discovered this forum. This place has a lot of important information, although you also need to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

It's also on this forum where I made a good amount of money. I don't have a lot, but what I have so far is enough for me to be free from 8 to 5 kind of jobs. I dread that kind of life. Thanks to Bitcoin and this forum, I have great control over my time. That's luxury enough in this part of the world, although I still can't afford a lavish lifestyle.

What can i say, for some years cryptos become my only source of income and is a complex life style because if cryptos are your income then you sell them to pay the day by day bills, and see how the crypto price goes nuts year by year makes you regret of not holding big amounts, but again as main and only income to hold them wasn't an option at all.

I'm glad to stay in cryptos after all these years, and stay as an active user, i love to learn from this community and to share the knowledge that i get with the years.

most of us are benefited by this forum and also bitcoin. i will not talk about how much i get, but it is enough for my needs... it is an advantage for us to know this forum and bitcoin. it gives us an opportunity that we never got before. even though many people say that it is just a waste of time to invest in bitcoin or you are like unemployed when you only forum, but at the end of the day it is all worth it. it just requires us to be patient and understand that it will benefit us.

I've been looking back on my time with bitcoin and bitcointalk and I just had to get this off my chest, it's been such a big deal for me. It's not just the money stuff, I've picked up so much from everyone here, like how to not freak out over risks, dig into things myself, and trade without messing up as much. I'm honestly so much more sure of myself now and hearing other people's stories makes it feel so real. I love that i've found a group that gets what I'm going through, it means a lot.

It can also be a great side hustle for knowledge and funds alike.

But overall, I agree with your take and am happy for you.

I want to say a big congrats to as many that have achieved one or two from bitcoin investment or Bitcointalk.
For me it has not been too long I join the forum, I joined the forum a completely novice about bitcoin but today I can bordly say that I knows what bitcoin and bitcoin investment is all about. Knowledge they say is power, for the little knowledge have gathered so far about bitcoin is a great achievement I have acquired. Thank you

My biggest achievement from bitcointalk is buying a laptop. It may seem like a small thing, but I have achieved many more things. I can find the answer of any question on Bitcointalk. Also, I've invited many of my friends to bitcointalk so they can earn some $ and expand their knowledge as well.

More targets achieved to come 8)

Did you come up with some new ones already for the future?

Oh, these are lovely points and achievements, you've done so much for yourself and I hope they are all indeed true.

As for me, I've enjoyed the privilege of earning with the forum's help and have had more crypto experience that is priceless. I am privileged to know cryptocurrency above all and I don't think this is possible without Bitcointalk. However, my life goes on all the same because I've been in the investment world for many years before joining Bitcointalk.

You are very right because the benefits we get from this Forum offer us the chance to make some proper financial decisions which have transformed our generation in terms of plans and investments that we have put in place for them even before they arrive, I know a friend of my in our local board who was able to sponsor his house of Representative elections from his earnings on this Forum and as God may have it he eventually won the election, so he now full-time politicians in the national level all with the help of Bitcointalk.

This is something deep, as either you have gained a lot of knowledge which helped you made more profit then the profit (alone) you made from this forum or either you can't comprehend it (which I think is not the case) as I am also a member of this forum for few years now and I learned a lot of things and I can say the knowledge I have now due to this forum has earned me more and made me a good teacher as well.

We can become a part of something big, we can earn not only money but reputation here as well which is more necassary.

One thing I got from this forum is that this forum can change my perspective on crypto, more precisely my mindset. Previously I was afraid and did not even dare to buy any crypto, because I was skeptical of crypto, but after being in this forum I have a lot of knowledge about crypto in terms of security, its system, its advantages and many more that open my mind to the world of crypto.

In terms of material, of course this forum has improved my finances in everyday life, I can even invest in bitcoin even though it is not much like other friends but it is a good step for myself rather than someone who cannot invest at all. In conclusion, I am very grateful to be in this forum, many things have changed in my life especially my mindset about the importance of preparing wealth for the future by investing starting now.

Everyone who is in the forum up to one year is a beneficiary of forum, and I know that it hardly before they invest with it, because they're receiving payment weekly, this forum has helped some of us otherwise, but some people can't account what they used their money for, diversifying the funds we received through forum will give us hedge to stand firm when forum is no more.

I've achieved so much from this forum that I can't even put it all in writing but what I count more important about this forum is the knowledge I've gained here especially learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. The financial gains can't be underestimated but when I think about the future and how I can put the knowledge I've gained here to good use, I become more grateful to the person who introduced Bitcointalk to me and how he helped me understand more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. In the aspect of Bitcoin investment, I'm still in the baby stages but from what I already understand about it, it's something that'll be extremely profitable to me in the nearest future

Myself I wouldn't want to go into discussing things about my financial achievements with Bitcoin here, but in the educational aspect,  Bitcointalk has really helped me in understanding Bitcoin way more better than I used to know when I hadn't joined this community, especially in the investment perspective, There are other things that this community has helped shaped my way of going about investing into the digital world.

I also used to be pretty freaked out about the idea of buying any sort of digital currency and  it all seemed so risky and confusing to me.  But after lurking around here for a bit, I feel like I actually understand the ins and outs of how cryptocurrency works now - the security, the platforms, the potential pitfalls.  My perspective has done a total 180.  Im way more curious about crypto than skeptical at this point.  The knowledge I have gained on this forum has given me the confidence to dive in and make some investments for myself.  It goes to show ya - a little learning can completely shift your mindset.

Since joining the bitcointalk forum, I have gained
- Financial freedom.
- indirect mentoring from the experts on bitcoin
- better gambling skills and knowledge
- useful trading knowledge
- and respect from my peers when I educate them about bitcoin. They are impressed how I understand and I am able to teach it.

I found myself loving crypto genuinely from 2016 doing a lot of airdrops and bounties without pay, I found it enjoying to the point I didn't stop until I found Bitcointalk where I could learn more than just performing tasks for peanuts. I saw crypto as what I love from the in-depth of my heart.

The truth is that, I haven't gotten much off my signature campaign but I'm really appreciative for the little I've gotten weekly, I'm impressed by your strength op to save up these amounts and got yourself some mobile tyre shop and other things, it's really shows you were doing what you love.

I have used the coins earned from signature campaigns to buy groceries and regular stuff, nothing too fancy.

But I have learnt a bit about how an unregulated market can be manipulated unlike a regulated market like stocks. Also learnt about so many computer scientists who have been a part of the creation of the concepts behind cryptocurrency.

Over the years I have seen more countrymen get into crypto, which does make me feel good.

That's wonderful. Because where I am, I don't see the older generation becoming more interested. They still think it's a manipulation all along without any gaps to it ;D

I’ve been here for quite sometimes and yeah I’ve earned quite a few thousands here too, but I believe my greatest accomplishments and achievements in this forum isn’t really the $ I’ve made here, but the knowledge, experience and the exposure I’ve gained during my stay here. I’ve come across several other platforms that try to enlighten people about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but I don’t think there’s any of those platforms that possess the knowledge that this forum does, and I feel very fortunate to be part of this community and journey

It's not possible that someone will be in Bitcointalk for 5-10 years and haven't achieved anything from Bitcoin. Achievement mustn't be what people think achievement are about, just eating is an achievement as there are many individuals that can't afford a three square meal or one full nutritional meal due to poverty therefore just being able to afford that is a blessing itself and if the forum or your investments in Bitcoin has being able to afford you that, you're doing well. Being on the forum and receiving signature or bounty payments no matter how small it's, if you plan very well, you can make use of that money to do something in your life and that's an achievement.

I thought you're going to say that it was enough. But that is also a good advice because we can lose our focus if we try to complicate things. I'm sure that there are people who start first here. What supposed to be a side hustle only have became a full-time job but that is okay if they don't have a full-time job yet. Unfortunately some leave here because they think they are stable enough to venture another field which they think is much better.

What about if you use a fiat and other payment methods? Are they still not allowed? But maybe? Because you could have done them already if they are allowed. Anyways, Bitcointalk is truly a big help to all of us. This is why we are very thankful about it.

My journey so far in this forum has been an amazing experience, both in terms of knowledge and financial rewards, I don't have any regrets about joining this forum. My day is never complete without browsing through this amazing forum and having something meaningful to post, there is always something to contribute, research, learn, share experiences and learn from other members knowledge and experiences. I've been in the forum for approximately 2 years and in this period I've greatly increased my crypto knowledge and have gained experience in different aspects of economics and politics. Signature campaign earnings have significantly supported my finances including Bitcoin investment.

Well, I haven't really achieved much from the BitcoinTalk forum and Bitcoin as an investor because I'm still new in the cryptocurrency space, No, let me rephrase that, I have actually achieved a lot from BitcoinTalk forum, I have gained a lot of information and knowledge, ways or strategy to invest, my portfolio has increased, I have seen threads about new ways that scammers are using to scam people and I have avoided them, I have learnt from the forum the safest way to save my seeds, I have met new people and I have been able to join a signature campaign that I earn from to at least help me get the basic things I need for my studies. I haven't been in this forum for long so as time goes by, I wish to achieve so much more via knowledge and financial rewards in the forum as an investor and as a member of this reputable community.

In less than two years on the forum, I can attest to the fact that this is part of the greatest thing that has happened to me because it has affected me in literally all aspects of my life. One thing about the forum is that it is hard to stay on the forum for months without having a shift of mentality on investment and personal development goals. I came in with little knowledge of crypto and was just getting started in the tech space, but by constantly rubbing minds with like minds and experienced investors and seeing people that have long-term plans in view while making their decisions, I have learned to plan not just for the present but for the future.

started without a single bitcoin stack but currently has some chunk of it, relied on the conventional banking system for saving my money but have known better to hold in bitcoin rather than in fiat, investment has now made a lot of sense to me and even outside of bitcoin investment and bitcointalk, i am a better person financially.

You're right mate, this is an internet space and not everyone will be comfortable sharing personal information here especially those relating to finance. Me personally, i shared some of my activities in the forum which i expressed some of my achievements since i joined the forum, but then, whatever achievements anyone get from this forum is to their own advantage so it's not a big deal when some persons decides not to share there own achievements.

However, i can state one of my achievements in the forum which is that since my newbies days till now, my knowledge about the forum have been increasing simultaneously with my ranks and i'm grateful to Satoshi for creating a forum that will stand the test of time due to its unique way, which is different from every other forum i've come across on the Internet.

If I hadn't joined this forum, I would never have gained confidence in Bitcoin even if I had heard about it. I have seen that there are many people I know who are still afraid to invest in Bitcoin, thinking that they will lose their money by investing here, but in reality it is completely different. Bitcoin investment will definitely be difficult for those who have less knowledge or who have not yet gained sufficient knowledge. However, after coming to Bitcointalk, my knowledge has developed a lot. Where others cannot trust Bitcoin, I am only trying to grow my Bitcoin portfolio. I know that even if Bitcoin cannot give me anything in the short term, it will play a significant role in fulfilling my dreams in the long term. Above all, Bitcoin and the Bitcointalk forum both are important to me.

Being a member of this community gave me a lot. At first, it was curiosity and earning some kind of 'magic money' that only exists in digital realm. But quickly, it became much more than that. I've learned so much about Economics, about financial freedom. And later, when we got to these topics at my university closer to graduation, I already had a strong background, strong understanding of how ideas by brilliant people like Friedrich Hayek could be applied in practice.
The forum also has a particular culture, which I enjoy. People are largely respective, largely relying on argumentation and sources. It's a place where you can truly see people from very different backgrounds interacting rather productively with one another.

Since joining this forum, I have personally been able to gain a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and Bitcoin investing and have been able to do a lot of research, this was the biggest thing for me because before that it would never have been possible to earn proper knowledge about Bitcoin before. It may be true that Bitcoin investment may change life if everyone is able to prolong it for a long time, ie 4-7 years. Below are my achievements by joining this extensive forum and investing in Bitcoin.

• First of all I was able to bear all my wedding expenses from here.
• Secondly, it was also possible to fulfill my dreams and help with the family business.

There are many things I get from this forum that I might never get in university or other places, everything is here about economics, trade, investment, politics and especially about bitcoin which is the initial goal, I am happy and will never forget people who have good ideas and arguments besides that here everyone respects each other and I can get money here by following the campaign signature. Btw about investing in bitcoin sorry I can't tell you in detail but what is clear is that as long as I invest in the asset I get a decent life.

Yeah I agree. Anyone who has been on the forum for up to a year is a beneficiary of the forum whether they wear a signature or not. The benefits of being a member of bitcointalk goes beyond the incentives of signature campaigns and bounties, the knowledge that is being shared here is worth more and if used in the right way can set you up for success in life.

Hodling is always a decent way to have more time for many activities or additional work while also progressing through the investment process automatically.

That's great to hear such a warm opinion here ;)

I signed up in 2014, so that's over 10 years of having an account on the forum, although I haven't been active in all those years. I've had two major inactivity periods, both of which I regret. As @irhact mentioned, it's impossible for someone to be in the forum for so long and not achieve something. I've been active for the past four years if I'm not mistaken, and it's been a blessing. I'm not going to say any numbers etc, although Bitcoin is not really anonymous, but I've always asked myself how things could have gone differently if I hadn't give up on Bitcoin in 2018 to 2019.

Bitcoin and this forum has helped me be financially more independent, while providing me with the security of having a decent sum of money aside, which acts as an investment, similar to DCAing.

Yeah, many people have different ideology on what they do and also their focus, people who will not record any achievements on forum is people who is not serious, people achieve in this forum in two different things
• To achieve knowledge
• Making money from signature campaigns and other businesses

This place is a side hustle, it has helped many people,  especially people who have another thing doing, it's obvious that this forum is a helping hand.

Holding bitcoin is a long term method to increase your total exchangeable amount of money. This works nicely when you are adding to the stock every few months when the bitcoin price drops in terms of its fiat value.

I do suggest most new traders to not go into day trading but stick to long term holding, with emphasis on the fact that the unrealistic richs should never be the goal for any bitcoin user. It might make you rich but that should not be the long term goal.

With time the experience is enough to state these things with conviction.

The law enforcement agencies have done crackdown in the past on people who were involved in mining Bitcoins or involved in trading of Bitcoins. It’s risky to involve in Bitcoin business here.

Very recently our government has formed a body to regulate crypto in the country (Pakistan). That will help people to buy and sell Bitcoin without worrying about legal concerns. There are lot of Bitcoin enthusiastic here and all waiting for the outcome of newly formed Pakistan crypto council.

Having said that Bitcointalk.org has helped me a lot not only to get familiar but also accumulate  Bitcoins during the time when it’s not legalized in the country.

Hodling + stable source of work and funds.

The ultimate combo for those wanting to start their journey ;)

I have gained a lot of knowledge, skills and experience from this forum. For now I can't say anything about bitcoin investment because am still working on that. But frankly speaking, bitcointalk forum has been a valuable source of  knowledge to me. It's more than a school to me, and the members in this forum are more like a family to me. All thanks to the high rank members that are making things easier for us. With the help of this forum I get to learn and know more about bitcoin and what cryptocurrency is all about.

But, frankly speaking. Sometimes I feel disturbed, disappointed and discourage because It seems that my posts are not good enough to be given merit. Because I have almost 100+ posts with just 7merits honesty I feel broken and disappointed about that. And it really discouraging me, but I always try my best to motivate myself to never give up. Please no one should be offend with what I said, because am only saying my mind.

•Have bought my own 4 cars because of crypto and most of these cars came from bounty campaign ICO days and with some doublers in the past.  :D
•Learned about phishing,ponzi,scams around
•Knows about some little knowledge on technical aspects on how crypto works
•Made out some bit of connections with other members here on this forum
•Learn all the possible things that I do able to learn in connection with crypto on which this forum do gives out with that.

Not all does have the patience on holding up their coins for so long and thats why at the moment that they have hit up their profit threshold then they do sell out their coins.
We cant be able to deny the fact that on the moment that we do sell our coins then we do able to gain fiat and if we do have some plans about on having some traditional business
or neither wanting to buy something then we will be still needing up that fiat and thats why you will be considering on selling it out.

I'd probably say the same thing. This forum was the birthplace of my enthusiasm for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, and it wouldn't be wrong to say that this forum helped me have a foundation in this industry both in terms of knowledge and funds because of signature campaigns, bounties, contests, and giveaways. If it wasn't for this forum, I don't think I would have stayed active in this industry for this long, but I kept going because of it and I don't plan to stop anymore because it has become a vital part of my life.

Bitcoin is the reason why I'm having a stable financial condition today, and I say this because Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency that I came to know about, so it was the reason why I entered this market, and today, I earn good money from trading and this whole market exists only because of Bitcoin because it was the one that started it all and then others followed its footprints.

Bitcoin investment has really helped the lives of many people financially as it has been able uplift many out of poverty line due to the fact that they have been able to take leverage on the opportunities that bitcoin has offered, one thing that I will advise is that people should be wise with their returns on investment when we get profit from Bitcoin we should not forget to spread it and create more wealth by investing the profit into other sectors because wealth is created via different streams of investment

For the past few years, I have known about Bitcoin and the forum; I would say I have achieved a whole lot financially. That's what to mention some other time. But what I keep remembering, and it gives me joy each time, is the knowledge I have acquired all for free without charge a dime since I learn about this forum. Nothing actually beats that, to be impacted with the knowledge of Bitcoin for free on how to invest rightly in Bitcoin and expecting a good return in the long term. The school I attended didn't teach me how to think of becoming financially free someday. But here I am, anticipating for that to happen someday through Bitcoin investment.

You have really achieved a lot through your time here and it’s a good thing that you made good use of the opportunity you have here to establish a good business also. A physical business is actually needed to commend your other sources of income online since these incomes are not a pave way to an everlasting work even if some of them show signs for one.

Bitcointalk is a very informative and helpful community that even a novice in the crypto space can build their knowledge from here and still be the best of people to have come across and learn what bitcoin is. It is a school of learning and so shall it be forever.
We should make the good use of time of what we learn and earn from a large community like this, we will be proud we did in many years time to come when we become more financially stable.

Good achievements! Like you said people wouldn't want to talk about most of their progresses on here but all i can say is that this platform has helped reformed me properly on Bitcoin investmenI and it don't take it for granted, discussions like this helps a lot

My friend purchased a new car from Bitcoin investment and from credible platforms like this. They journey to success is just starting for us all big ups everyone!!

Honestly there’s so many people’s here who has been in this forum for over 10 years and they’ve not achieve single things in this forum or in investment, but some of the peoples only spend 5 years here and they make an huge achievements and that’s all about life, prover prove is not by who go market early can achieve everything at once. Some people only introduce themselves into the Bitcoin investment, but never achieve anything from it.

Because Bitcoin investment requires a lot of knowledge that and experience. But some people think that once they introduce themselves into the Bitcoin community they will begin earning money with in a week or months, and the  word of cryptocurrency is not about that; but not everybody comprehend that.

Yes, it is true that bitcoin has uplifted many people through investment that gave them profit from their bitcoin investment, and also what you have said about spreading investment is a good and wise idea because one just needs to have multiple stream of income so as to sustain themselves and not to always fall back to their bitcoin investment at will as it is not a good idea to always temper with such an investment. It is good as a bitcoin investor, after taking profit from our investment, we should look outside to alsomake investment so we could have other means where we are getting income from as it is that the bitcoin market is volatile as it can appreciate in value and also depreciate at any time as well, investors should not be caught ofguard at that period so it is wise to have other investment outside bitcoin and crypto to fall back to.

I feel like what I achieved in this community and forum is all thanks to the innovation of Bitcoin. Bitcointalk became more than just a place to follow crypto news, for me it became a space to learn, grow and even escape the stress of daily life. Over time, it helped me build knowledge confidence, and even income.

The rewards from posting regularly, like signature campaigns were just a bonus. What mattered most was the experience the people I met, and the lessons I gained from risk management to smart investing. There are all kinds of community gathered here, from traders, gamblers, developers, miners… Xd and even scammers.

Thanks for sharing your journey, its important for others to see the positive impact this space can have.

Those you mention are important tools to make a new investor hold their coin for long since they will not have a need to sell off what they have acquired as a result of not having anyplace to get money from, but having the right information and knowledge is also another thing that will determine how long they will hold their coin and survive every pressure that the market might bring to the table of the young investors.
