What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started?

[blackhawkeye1912]

I would like to know what experiences did you had when you first started with Bitcoins. As for me, I had many that I would like to share with you.

When I began in the Bitcoin world, I was a complete rookie with no proper knowledge of how did mining worked or anything about cryptocurrencies. I just thought about Bitcoin as another payment processor like PayPal. But when I joined the BitcoinTalk community, I learned so many things along the way. In my process of learning in the first days, I decided to invest into cloud mining services. Since I didn't knew much about it, I invested a plenty amount of Bitcoins to start my journey into it. During that time, I had gotten into many different services. Those were GAW Miners, then Cointellect, cloudminr.io and finally Hashnest. After getting scammed many times by the services mentioned previously, (except for Hashnest) I have lost many Bitcoins. As a result, I decided to never invest into cloud mining and thus dedicate myself into learning more about the cryptocurrency and look for other ways to earn Bitcoins. It was then that I enrolled into the signature campaign that I am currently into and during all that time I began to earn Bitcoins as well as diversify my investments into different alt coins. Now I am dedicated to trading Bitcoins and other alt coins, as well as working for it (like the signature campaign and working as a freelancer) in order to earn coins and build up my portfolio along the way.

Anyways, what would be your experiences with this exciting cryptocurrency? 

The first time I heard bitcoin, I was full of doubt about it, and I whispered said, bitcoin is just a piece of shit  like a scam site. That was my  impression when I first heard it. But after seeing my friend who shared bitcoin to me, then I saw he convert His bitcoin into a real currency, wow! I got instantly had an interest to know what bitcoin really is, how to use, how to earn it, and how to obtain it. that's it!

When I first used the Bitcoin I was a real rookie and didn't know that much about Bitcoin. And my first experience was to send money to a friend of min.
He was already familiar with Bitcoin so helped me and thought me how to use the Bitcoin.

It is really good and easy for you and you find your way to experience it and get into it but my way to it is very difficult and I have to do a lot of research and loss a lot of my money to it in the way to find the good earning from it and way to learn some investment decission from it like any other newbie I had find it from my own to reached to this level.

I know about Bitcoin in mid-2015, is in fact close to the end of 2015 because at that time I really learn and earn Bitcoins. At first I known Bitcoin, I absolutely do not know anything about it, I can only imagine it is the coin, virtual currency that you can spend as banknotes. I also do not know the way to earn Bitcoin as mine Bitcoin, traders, join the signature campaign or projects HYIP. I was lured to participate in a project HYIP that I did not know about it, the result is that I have lost some money. Then I had to find documents about Bitcoin to read, then that I really understood the nature of Bitcoin and its modern technologies. I will never participated in HYIP since then. Now, I also had a bit of experience on Bitcoin. Thinking back at the beginning knew Bitcoin, I find myself not being smart but there is also the interesting experience.

when I started looking for a bitcoin, I started with the faucet. I think, when I joined many faucet, I can get a lot of bitcoin. but, I think it was a very long time, until I know this forum, and start looking for bitcoin with signature.

to me i think it was such a good experience. although in very start as i was not aware of the benefits of bitcoin and i always do not know so much about bitcoin therefore it was not looking so good. but when i started using bitcoin ans specially when i learn earning bitcoin from trading alt coin now i am really happy with my decision to join bitcointalk community.

No idea where I heard about it, tried to do some Windows PC mining in 2011, couldn't figure it out, gave up, lost interest, rediscovered it years later, died a little on the inside. You?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I had my first impressions about Bitcoin in my early days, since I was scammed many times, which at some point I was about to leave the digital currency. But then, I decided to make a research about it, as well as its underlying technology, and became aware of the realities that exist within the crypto world. As it is a highly unregulated sector, it is susceptible to exchange hacks, scams, and other undesired things.

Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone to guide me, but thanks to the forums, and the signature campaign, I've been able to explore more about cryptocurrencies and educate myself about its revolutionary technology. Just like you, I had a huge interest on learning more about the pioneer cryptocurrency and to obtain my very first 1 full BTC. It is up to this date which I haven't reached 1 full BTC, but I'm getting there and it will be a huge accomplishment once I get it.

When I was just getting started in bitcoin, It was a fun and challenging experience because in that time I'm still confused if i will pursue this kind of investment or not because a lot of people keep telling to me that bitcoin is not worth it and it will just waste my money and time but still i believed in myself and i still pursue this investment and now i'm earning decent amount of bitcoins and they are just like 'Wow bro, How can you earn that much? In just sitting in front of you computer". lol

I started playing in the dice game But I still a new in gamling I do not have experience.

I already don't remember exactly how I first found bitcoin, but today it really become the part of my life. I was searching for a way to make some extra money and first couple months I was killing allians in the well known game and it heleped me to make some basis in bitcoins. But very soon I found out that gambling can bring much more profit and concentraded on this only.

the first time I use bitcoin I spent a very long time in the faucet even more than a few months, I did not know it was spending my time in vain or not. but I get a lot of knowledge

[fanbeila]

At first, my friend explained me about bitcoins.He asked me to see some bitcoin related videos in youtube.Then i got lots of information from this forum.It was a totally new concept to me.I got very much benefit when i first sent my salary at a very low transaction fees.Now,i have even left my job and have become a full time trader.

I first heard bitcoin around September of year 2014, It was hard for me to earn bitcoin that time because there were only few ways of earning bitcoin that time and no one teaches me about this thing. That's why I quitted bitcoin for one year. The years that I quit was the time that bitcoin price is really low. I missed a great opportunity right back that time. Now I am regretting that I stop bitcoin for a year.

When i started bitcoin, i was not interested even not excited. But now i want to know more about bitcoin.That's why i am trying to learn as much as possible.Even now all topic is not clear to me because i am a new member on this site .

[bitbunnny]

I was very excited when I first started to use Bitcoins. It was long time ago, in 2013 but I still remember these experiences. Back then I didn't know much about Bitcoin, didn't know how to earn coins and I made some mistakes but still that was great period of time and I have learned a lot and realised Bitcoin is something that has perspective. That is why I'm still using it and why I will continue to use it.

[erickkyut]

When I was starting bitcoin, my experience were not good. I was scammed before many times by different sites and programs. During that time, I only have limited knowledge about bitcoin. So I learned from my mistakes. I conduct some research about it and now I'm earning good from my investments.

Internet is my bible and so does with everyone else but you have a lot of information regarding bitcoin and the wiki page was really helpful in understanding the basics about bitcoin and then after reading the entire white paper i did learn some things about the technology used and unless you really start using it you will have some doubts regarding it and it took me a couple of weeks to understand everything to fully understand the process.

I was so into bitcoin ever since I heard about it. I just wanted to read more information about it. I also wanted to get into mining and support bitcoin by mining and running a node. But after learning about the cost and complexity.  I decided to buy bitcoin and hold on to it for years and do some cloud mining in hashnest. I am still learning about bitcoin and I try to speak about bitcoin to my friends and other people just to make them aware about it.
