My 1 Year and 1/2 experience in Bitcoin world

[pooya87]

I'm failing to grasp the point of this thread. Are you saying that neither one of those things had any major affect in your life?
What decision exactly? Your English is kind of making it a bit tough to properly understand.

My point is that all i have done and all my decision in bitcoin for example trading and especially  buying a cloudmining contracts is a big mistake because many of the cloudmining contract i bought were gone and scam

don't worry about making mistakes. everybody makes mistakes.

the important part to keep in mind is to learn from your mistakes and never repeat them. i've made a lot of mistakes in my life , more than i care to admit but i always try to make better decisions based on the experience that i have gained and eliminate the bad ones.

My almost 2 yeas with bitcoin has changed my life.
It hasn't made me rich and changed my life that way but it has opened my eyes to much more than i ever knew was out there, and that is priceless.

I also been going to a few bitcoin meetups in the local area and always meet great people, everyone around bitcoin just seems excited and really think they are onto the next big thing. I have never seen anything like it.
2years ago i hardly even knew how to use email, now i make my own paper wallets and always try out the lastest btc wallet, just love learning about this stuff.

Wow!!!
Well Burt, I'm pretty sure we're all being watched and profiled on these forums by law enforcement.
Wonder who they'll go after next?
I'm not worried as I'm a small timer compared to you!

OP...don't worry!
Hold onto your Bitcoins...one day you or your children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren will thank you!

People overestimate what will happen within 1 year and underestimate what will happen within 10 years.

No you can make money off of cloud mining contracts if you pay attention and use the right company but you have to be smart. The only company I would even risk to play on is hashnest as it won't just up and disappear tomorrow.

how about genesis mining? what i see from genesis is it seems to be a legit cloudmining company

Sounds like you have been using Bitcoin as a hobby. How exactly should it change your life? If you did international business frequently, Bitcoin could save your company a lot of money. If you don't have a stable local currency, Bitcoin can save you from hyperinflation and bank freezes. If you don't really have any problems that Bitcoin solves, you shouldn't really expect any drastic changes to your lifestyle, which isn't a bad thing.

it's because many were so lost when they have seen that early adopters(not talking about those that lost their coins, or sold for $1) have made a fortune in a short time, they want to copy them, even today this is true

and it say the true about how people see bitcoin as a rich quick scheme, they want to be like those early adopters that were lucky because have embraced bitcoin at the right time

[turvarya]

Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick-scheme.
If that is your whole goal with Bitcoin and that is how I understand your post, than please leave the Bitcoin space.

Bitcoin changed my life. Not in a major way, but there are just some little thing, that made me smile, when I realized that is what Bitcoin can be used for.
If you can't find such thinks, than Bitcoin isn't for you.

Cash only as it is the safest way to to do it.  However if you get on their radar they can claim you are a MSB, arrest you, etc.
