Did Bitcoin Ruin Your Life, Or Help Your Life?

[Misiak4]

For me, at start bitcoin was good, it was fun to mine it on my old PC with one GPU, later building my own crate mining rig, but then I stopped buying new hardware (skipped ASICS) and started to play with cloud mining and it went bad...i was too stupid and lost way more money than earned together... But at least I have now reason to earn my lost money back with BTC :-)

good luck on your journey so what are you doing now if you are not mining? Selling your service?

Yeah, selling some stuff with BTC, offering my services, even started with loans... But still I am going to cloud mine some (but this time not ones too good to be true). Just some HashNest mining

Bitcoin massively helped me. Really I think discovering bitcoin is probably the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

For a start, it is the only thing in my life I have ever found that I am completely passionate about (excluding stuff in my personal life). I plan on moving into the bitcoin space at some point in the future, hopefully with some startup (Im an accountant and every company needs accountants- but I also have a fair amount of programming knowledge- how many bitcoin enthusiast programmers with an accountancy qualification can there be!?).

Secondly, it has been a catalyst to me learning all about the current financial system. I would confidently say that I know more about how fiat works than 99.9% of people, however that isn't saying much as it doesn't seem to be on any syllabus anywhere, the only way to learn these things is to teach yourself.

Thirdly, it provided an easy way to buy cannabis (which is how I first got into btc) which I used to help with the symptoms of ME (from which I have now fully recovered). Who knows, without btc perhaps I would still be ill.

Finally, and perhaps the biggest, is that I have a huge (for me) investment in bitcoin and I am fairly confident it will pay off very well in the future. I only bought in this year so I got a good price.

Oh and one more. If/when the next bubble hits I will feel so damn smug. All my friends think I'm an idiot for putting any money into bitcoin. I have always replied 'we will see'.

Bitcoin helped me gain more knowledge and become a privacy centric user. Now, I use practice ways of making things more secure and privately. I've also learned the importance of decentralization, and a revolutionary technology called the blockchain. Thanks to that, and the help of the members of this community, I've been able to further expand my knowledge and become a crypto enthusiast.

Bitcoins are helping us in many ways and I think it can not ruin any one's life. Bitcoins are making our life easy by smooth and quick money transfer with low transaction fees, now there is no need to visit the banks and you can be your own bank.

It basically helped my life by understanding economy; also teached how to secure my money and hold my privacy.
Also it is something I can spend and it is the most fun part of btc.

bitcoin helps me to have a better personally finance, i got more income by trade it and help me for reduce transaction fee for sending money than send it by bank
in my opinion, bitcoin will not ruin life if it not use to satisfy the desire to gamble or invest to ponzi schemes

[darkangel11]

It helped me. I got some cash from trading it and it taught me some basics of economy and trading since I've never been interested in finances before.

Economic terms and slangs such as volatility, supply and demand, volumes, bulls, whales, hodl, candlestick etc. These words I found boring during Economic class but today I found it interesting.

I have invested very minimal amount of funds very recently into Bitcoin before which almost all my Bitcoin earnings were from referral exchanges on new Bitcoin projects, posting reviews and answering questions for bounties. Considering this, Bitcoin has NEVER ruined my life but has helped me educate myself more on how it functions and helped me research new projects that are accepting Bitcoins and providing services for Bitcoins. Also, I believe if I did invest a substantial amount purchasing the Bitcoins, I'd be bearing only a minimal risk cause I'd only be invest a minimal amount of my total savings into it.

Watching Bitcoin documentaries, helped me understand the monetary structure of my economy and also how it's being abused to an extent. Bitcoin has also taught me about the various Government conspiracies, and how it builds monetary independence among ourselves by being our own banks. Overall, it's been a good run for me using Bitcoins and learning about it.

Hello, just want to ask something what are you working for bitcoin?

[Surge_PR]

Bitcoin helped my life immensely!

[richardsNY]

It helps my life already since the coins I save for later are somewhat of a retirement backup. That is assuming that the price of Bitcoin will go through the roof in the next 10-20 years. Only time will tell.

Do you mean you earn enough through the sig campagin to live for a week?

That's quite cool actually if it is the case. Where do you live if I may ask?

Here in the Netherlands, the 20-30 usd can get you by maybe 2-3 days regarding food and small other stuff.

Bitcoin helped me a whole lot. It is wild ride and i have earned some money due to trades and sure learned lot from it. And it is still young so there will be more chances to profit and lot to learn.

[~Bitcoin~]

Bitcoin have helped me and i think many people from countries like mine where it is hard to get global payment were helped by bitcoin. Atleast i don't get banned from pay... like site only to get payment now.

[USB-S]

I've learned a lot during this wild ride. Also it gave me a pretty positive activity to to on my spare time, and it's related to economics. GOOO bitcoin.
