Have Bitcoins helped to improve your life?

[0mniscient]

I started a small bitcoin blog in my senior year of high school (this year), and I think it was one of the reasons that I got accepted to colleges that were a little above my level.

helped me making more cash

Yes, they have actually inspired me to learn math on my own time (in university I got through classes not knowing ****), and have inspired me to pursue technology and become an inventor. Even if I fail, I know I want to do some thing novel and original with my life.

Bitcoins make our world a much richer, more open ocean of opportunity, OpenOcean.

With purse.io I have >$1,000 in savings so that has helped quite a bit. BTC

[funtotry]

I don't think it has helped my life yet, since it can't be readily spent places and exchanging it is a hassle. However it makes it easier for sending things online, and has introduced me to this forums which I have over 23 days online so far
Definitely bitcoin has not helped my life, only done the opposite, but I think its worth it,

Better question would be to ask how bitcoin has affected people's lives in general; your thread will only bring out early adopters who struck it rich, or traders who made a fortune off the backs of traders who lost fortunes...

I have to talk my sad story again. I earned a lot from btc in 2013 and 2014, but I invested my 60btc(600USD at that time) into a shit altcoin, called vootcoin, and my investment was screwed by that scammer dev. So I bankrupted because of this vootcoin scam.

So btc made me rich, altcoin made me poor. I only play btc now, won't play any shit altcoin in the future. I should withdraw them but I did bad investment in altcoin, and scammed by a scammer dev.

I'm pleased to join the bitcoin community, increase knowledge and of course increase revenue
I've felt it, all the income I get from bitcoin can buy things what I need and paying my fees

I bought my coins when they were quite cheap. And in 2014, when I was without a job for 6 months, I survived by cashing out some of my coins. I don't know what would have happened without them.... It could have been really really hard...

[bornil267645]

well, my freelancing career is crusing along thanks to bitcoin and sig ad campaign. I have got a girlfriend now and we are engaged. So yes, I can say that bitcoin have improved my life in some way.

Personally its a hobby right now. I hope to someday set aside more to invest in bitcoin but right now its hard. i have a few ideas to make my bitcoin startup but right now I need some more funds. Im early in the game so its hard for bitcoin really to change my life

[valkir]

It started as hobby and finished to work a lot for bitcoin  

I learn a lot and this is way more important than all the cash I have made.

I learn in computer science, in electric and also in finance.

Im really happy so far!  

[Horrible_gas]

Yes. I'm traveling a lot in my work and it makes it easier to transfer money between countries.

[neurotypical]

I had no idea about investing before bitcoin, I learned charts and making money out of investing on things, the whole thing.

[PeterB]

Most importantly it taught me that big ideas are worth pursuing.  Even if their probability of success seems small.  It is worth trying to change the world and making it a better place.  Small groups of smart, motivated people can really make a difference!  3 years ago when I started learning about bitcoin, I was certain it would get shut down and would be killed in the crib... Absolutely amazing where we are now!

Making me lots of BTCBTCBTC was a nice plus as well

I was first attracted to Bitcoins because it is an exciting, historic 'libertarian' revolution.
Have Bitcoins helped to improve your life?
How/why?

Personally for me is yes. Im student of university, in my country if you want to have good work

for your finance you must have a title of degree and its not short time and the cost is not cheap.

Then i found bitcoin and online freelance which i can earn some money from there.

Its useful for pay my university cost.

[Kprawn]

I think it changed my outlook on "money" ..... I have learned a lot in a very short period and it's not just about "money"

I would most probably not invested any time to understand "Cryptography" and I did with Bitcoin.

I have began to research "Economic" jargon and lingo and ways of making money and how to give back more than what you receive.
My "Pay it forward" principle was once again re-enforced, when I started using and researching Bitcoins.

I would say, it is VERY positive.

It helped me, searching for what I realy want in life, taking control back in my hands, that is what Satoshi and bitcoin made clear to me, I have been too chained to my own self image that has been pretty low, not only due to bitcoin, but it helped a lot. Bitcoin made it possible for me to easily pursue things that make me happy in life and get paid too. The world is my market now, that is what bitcoin brought me

I started doing doodles for bitcoin and people seem to like it a lot! And I really enjoy drawing, creating and making people happy with a simple thing as a doodle or drawing.

helped me have high blood pressure on the china bubble

helped me overcome my habit of interacting with the non-internet world
