Title: We have been entertained and educated Post by: cafucafucafu on March 22, 2015, 11:14:20 PM If Bitcoin goes on to fail (which is very very unlikely) we can still say that we were entertained and educated.
So many memorable things have occurred in the world of Bitcoin. I am not an early adopter like some of you so I don't know what you found most exciting in the early days - however for me the most entertaining thing was the whole Dorian fiasco. So many other exciting things can be spoken about. Being a bitcoiner is like watching and taking part in a long movie. The knowledge that I have gained has also been very valuable. I now have a MUCH better understanding of the financial system and related matters. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: ajareselde on March 22, 2015, 11:44:06 PM Dont even consider the option of bitcoin failing, because if that happens; true we will have a lot of new experience, but think of all the surrounding businesses around
bitcoin that have emerged; how would it be comforting to have experience but watch all this fade away? No , bitcoin must not fail, there would be no replacement good enough after. A lot of informations are gathered during these few years, atleast i can say that from my side, but i want it to go on, because there is clearly a grat void in the financial system that needs to be patched up. Lets be entertained in the future too, and not write bitcoin off just because the price isnt where we want it to be. To me the price is more or less irrelevant. cheers Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Bit_Happy on March 22, 2015, 11:47:02 PM If Bitcoin goes on to fail (which is very very unlikely) we can still say that we were entertained and educated.

To me the price is more or less irrelevant. cheers That is some good points there are to many businesses within crypto now to just let it fade away with a oh well it was good while it lasted, we have a very good chance here to brake away from the bankers control this won't be let to fade away/ Last year and this has been eye opening and i can't wait to learn more i won't even entertain the thought that bitcoin can or will fail because it won't it has only just begun and most will agree i am sure. Like your point there above i think/feel the same for awhile i kept looking at the price wanting it to rise but that is not going to help and plus when you right the invested money totally of in the name of a better financial life the price does indeed become irrelevant and you end up with much more time to spend on what you actually enjoy not worry about. Long live Bitcoin :D Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: koshgel on March 23, 2015, 12:16:16 AM I don't think Bitcoin is/will be a failure. Even if they aren't worth a fortune, there will always be an application and use for them.
But I have to agree that it has been an educational experience and certainly an entertaining and at times profitable endeavor. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: QuestionAuthority on March 23, 2015, 12:58:41 AM It is kind of a soap opera on steroids.
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: cafucafucafu on March 23, 2015, 01:01:41 AM Everyone, please don't focus on what I said about failure. I already think bitcoin is a success. The point of the thread is to show that we benefited in more ways than one.
Bitcoin becoming a global powerhouse is inevitable. It's a train that wont stop. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: cafucafucafu on March 23, 2015, 01:02:23 AM It is kind of a soap opera on steroids. Exactly. But educational too. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: calme on March 23, 2015, 01:47:50 AM whoa, what we have here is an educational soap opera on steroids then. women love soap operas and steroids, so it might be good to mention those when telling girls about btc

Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: R2D221 on March 23, 2015, 04:55:22 AM The reason I don't like “If Bitcoin fails” threads is that they start with a pessimistic (and at this point, unlikely) point. The tendency is for technology to evolve, even if it's slowly.

Well only if he really wants it. Although I have my doubts that bitcoin can fail on a global scale. We'd all have to stop using it for it to die. I just don't see that happening. Anyhow, continue learning useful stuff!
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: pooya87 on March 23, 2015, 06:52:23 AM if bitcoin fails which i doubt it can happen anytime soon, something similar will replace it for sure. something like what IBM was working on. i'm not saying that's the one that will replace bitcoin but if it fails, there will be a replacement.

We do not know what we do not have, until we have seen other options.
We know PayPal and most of us have a "Hate it, but have to use it" attitude towards online payment methods.... We use credit cards and we see the flaws in that, but we "have to use it" ......Then came BTC You quickly learn how easy and secure online shopping can be with BTC, and you start to take control of your own "money" ;D ;D Now you start to ask the question ...." Why do other people not see this? " I also learned a lot from BTC other than just the currency value. ;) Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: mezzomix on March 23, 2015, 03:38:36 PM Now you start to ask the question ...." Why do other people not see this? " Because they don't think about what money is and how it works. As a consequence they don't understand the process of fiat money creation and they don't understand that they are the losers in this process. They don't understand that those who control the money control every aspect of their life.

Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: jer on October 28, 2017, 12:07:11 PM I do not even consider the variant of the bitcoin fading.
But you are absolutely right, bitcoin changed my life not only by increasing capital, but also by acquiring the very valuable knowledge that I received. I did not learn so much at the university how much bitcoin gave me in a few months.

But you are absolutely right, bitcoin changed my life not only by increasing capital, but also by acquiring the very valuable knowledge that I received. I did not learn so much at the university how much bitcoin gave me in a few months. Learning is Great. Did "We as a community", actually learn anything with lasting value, if we are currently headed for ~2,000 "magic money" forks (crappy alt-coins) off of the original BTC? Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Reez on October 29, 2017, 01:20:43 PM We are still being entertained and we are still being educated. Do not give up hope or belief. This is how the forces of evil win, they prey on the weak and brainwash them with their ego and temptations.
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Vannie12 on October 31, 2017, 05:51:34 AM Yes bitcoin is not only for us to earn an extra income but also entertained and educated us. Though we are sitting and having our siesta while doing bitcoin still it educated us in a way that it exercises our mind to think deeply but have a sense. It also teaches us on how to manage our time and money so as not to be wasted and can be use in the near future. It educated us in financially matters and how precious time is.
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: hasmukh_rawal on October 31, 2017, 06:41:09 AM Bitcoin has surely changed our lives and has taken us very far from what we were before knowing about it. I don't think Bitcoin will ever stop growing. Bitcoin has spread out like wildfire in the past years. From businesses, payments, jobs to ICOs BTC has become the thing which everybody needs. There is no stop to this growth and even if it does stop growing there will be something else that will take it's place. Coins like Ethereum and Ripple are potentially great. ETH has a great technology and a large community and might become the next alternative to BTC.
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Swenna on October 31, 2017, 09:24:49 AM I've always hated the subject economics ever since high school. I thought, studying it is not that great of a deal since I have no intention of going into the business world. However, bitcoin change that, and my view in economics. Because of it, I began to like it and even tried recalling some of the topics, the Law of Demand and Supply, etc which will be applicable in trading and investing. So, I do agree, that bitcoin did change our lives, and we have been entertained and educated. Though, it's price may be changing, I don't see it ending or even becoming a failure.
Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Scorpion on October 31, 2017, 09:28:30 AM I certainly enjoy this as a hobby and it definitely empowered me to read and absorbed knowledge. I've gotten atleast more clever if not smarter because of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I don't believe Bitcoin will die, if it does it will be cool to have most of the Bitcoin in the world. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: cold cool on October 31, 2017, 09:49:16 AM I am very grateful to Bitcoin, Bitcoin makes me a student earn a lot of money, also bought a house, life better.

Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: imjustp on October 31, 2017, 10:29:00 AM From when I have started to see loads of Bitcoin adverts on the London Underground I really think that failing is going to be quite a massive task for BTC. It has got to a point where massive investers have started getting involved and investing so I can see it, in the future, taking a dip while it is regulated and once regulation happens it will properly take off.
Dont think that governments are not taking note and preparing to implment blockchain/cryptocurrencies into their systems as they would be stupid not too, and, besides, they wouldn't tell us if they were as it would ruin their chances of getting a grip on the industry. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: orions.belt19 on October 31, 2017, 10:36:21 AM Although it is highly unlikely for that to happen, I would probably say the same. Bitcoin and the internet has entertained and educated me so far. Bitcoin has changed my life so much; because of bitcoin I became more cautious of my finances. Before, I did not even consider whenever I spend money or make financial decisions. Bitcoin has allowed me to become financially independent. I have learned to become responsible of the decisions that I make and earning is fulfilling and pleasurable but at the same time, is not a joke.

So we can say,We have been not only entertained but also educated by using Bitcoin I do understand what you mean, sir! Indeed, Bitcoin has been a big journey for all of us. It is quite an enlightening, educating and yes also entertaining journey because along the way there are so many excitement we got into like the ups and downs of Bitcoin and how we are reacting when some well-named people are criticizing it even if they don't what they are saying. And mind you this is just the start or just the tip of the iceberg as Bitcoin is about to enter its tenth year by 2018. I am happy that together with all of us in this forum, we are all blessed and united by and for Bitcoin. Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: Kakmakr on November 01, 2017, 06:03:36 AM This journey has been awesome. I have learned so much about new industries and ground breaking technologies in a very short period of my life. I have seen innovation in this industry equal to the projects and ideas that were launched since the start of the internet.
You also learn a lot about the financial sector and trading and how these markets are manipulated. I think the most important thing I have learned was how important financial freedom should be for everyone. ^hmmmmm^ Title: Re: We have been entertained and educated Post by: peter0425 on November 01, 2017, 06:12:30 AM This journey has been awesome.

Anyone thinks that bitcoin can go this high? I don't think so? And as we journey all along, we may have seen a lot of road bumps but what we learn is that bitcoin will just go over with it like nothing. And as far as holding and saving money, most of us here to learn that as well. How much of us don't know how to saved before, but because of bitcoin, we understand how to saved and not used our precious bitcoin because we understand that its good investment portfolio. And regarding financial freedom, for me its not how we learn, but how to apply if in our life's agenda. Like needs vs wants. You gonna buy things because you need it or just want it?
