Do you own 1 Bitcoin?

[Tanic]

wow this year most of people voted as yes I do minimum 1 bitcoin. I am envy. I don't have even half. Everything because of I manage my bitcoin life as my work. Get it? Every month I cash out everything I have made and that's kind of my salary. My rank raised couple days ago and that's really not bad money for me and my place.

[BoXXoB]

The answer is no. Not because I don't want to or anything like that. It's just because of my own, mostly bad, decisions including gambling. I have owned several though!

I do own a lot more than 1 BTC, but I did want to answer on behalf of a couple of my friends who didn't own so much. I figured that if I had asked them, I'd have gotten a better answer to this rather than me making assumptions. Their answers mostly related to how they were able to spend Bitcoins outside online websites. Almost a very very hand pickable amount of stores accept Bitcoins where I live and they often are far away (few states away). This is one reason what demotivates them to not purchase Bitcoins. The only motivator for me is the price and the fact that it's decentralized.

Where I live there's not a single place that accepts bitcoins either so the only place to spend coins is online. Luckily there are a couple of places that accept bitcoin and ship to where I live. Hoping that this would change soon.

This year i had earned 0.3 btc participating for first time in bounty campaign.

I actually think xdrpx makes a point we should all take notice of.
Most people simply aren't buying Bitcoin because it is of no use to them. They can't spend it at any store so there is no reason to own any other than as an investment, to speculate on the price.

This shows that even though there have been a HUGE increase in the price of Bitcoin, we still have the potential for much more.
If more online stores started accepting Bitcoin payments and it gained mass appeal as a payment option, there is no telling how high the price could go.
People would be saying "remember when Bitcoin was $900" just like they talk about the guy spending 10,000 coins to buy a pizza.

1 BTC is a very large number. Now I probably only have about 0.7 BTC. I sell some of bitcoin have for personal needs.
to be honest, I feel sorry when I saw the price of bitcoin is currently very high.

[ghost15]

In reality I do not own this amount at this time because I spent all in 2016 and I had in reward a small experience of how to get this amount and I will explore it for the next year.
I hope that the year 2017 will fill my wallet with bitcoin , and you too

[jtalk]

I actually am owning more than 1 Bitcoin for long time. I successfully didn't touch those so far as was waiting for huge increase in price. The rally already has started off so I am just keep holding for another year. Next year with new record prices once Bitcoin succeeds to get the real attention what it deserves.

[BitcoinHodler]

generally saying how much bitcoin you own and how much you earn,.... on this forum is like an open invitation letter to the IRS.
not that i care, i don't live in the US but just saying

[Juggy777]

I remember several years ago similar poll was made and i was surprised most of the users answered NO.
In case your answer is still NO, I'd like to know what is your main reason not to own one bitcoin?

Happy holidays!

edit: grammar

They say earn Bitcoin, even the site will claim you earn Bitcoin but reality is what we earn are faucets, and it takes one he'll of a while to convert it into Bitcoin. Thanks to the signature campaign and the awesome giveaways I am getting more satoshi's than usual but again no where even close to a fraction of a Bitcoin. Not all people have Fiat to buy Bitcoin, people like us roll on sites like freebitco.in, moonbit and other for small faucets, and sometimes loose patience but give up and resume the next day. Who wouldn't love to own a Bitcoin, if only Santa could leave a Bitcoin for me this year just saying, it's incredibly difficult for people like me who has no Fiat to buy or relies solely on faucets to earn.

The reasons are simple. At first, I discovered lately the bitcoin world. I knew what bitcoin is but I had no involvement with it. So when I bought the exchange rate was high enough. Secondly, first bitcoins I bought were used to buy some things from an online shop. So, today my balance is no more 0.5 Btc.

It has been a long time since I already hit the 1 BTC milestone. I still remember the day that i went 1+ BTC in my core wallet, it felt great. Now I am aiming towards the 21 BTC dream, which I hope to reach somewhere in 2017, unless Bitcoin goes to 3000+ dollars per coin as it seems it's going to go that way.

[maku]

You donated 10 BTC!

Yes i did. Unfortunately they were not spent very efficiently : )
Anyways, it wasn't a big deal back then. I believed (and still believe) that currency circulating is important. In my view being only a HODLER doesn't make you a true Bitcoiner.

I second your thought as I believe circulation is needed to push adoption. But at the same time I think that you are free to act that way only if you are rich.
When your total balance is more than hundred bitcoins or more - then you can say: oh, I spent 10 BTC back in the day, it wasn't that much.
But when you are 'entry level; bitconer with less than 1 BTC then spending even fracture of your stash is counterproductive.

[CraigWrightBTC]

No i don't have the reasons is because saving bitcoins is not make increasing my bitcoins, more worth one bitcoins become capital for trading altcoins and it will be more than one bitcoins.
Usually with one bitcoins i could got 0.5 BTC every months, for me it is good for pasive income monthly than
Saving it on my cold wallet because by the time the bitcoins will growing much.

[bitbunnny]

Unfortunately I don't have 1BTC at the moment. I wish I had. In some previous times I had even more but that has changed. I'm trying now to collect as much as I can at the moment only by earning because I don't have funds for buying.
But I have a plan for the future for growing the coins and I'm determined to make it happen.

[ethereumhunter]

so far, i am not yet have 1 btc, but i am sure that finally i will have 1 btc in 2017 and i hope the price is getting higher than now. for now, my plan is i am still saving my bitcoin from the way that i am believe can help me to collect satoshi by satoshi and only spend for the important think and urgent.

[BTCLovingDude]

i have been spending some bitcoin from my stash for buying some stuff online and paying for a couple of services such as paying for my vpn subscription.
so i am a little bit short of 1 bitcoin right now but i will make it there once again.

[Paninotech]

If you don't currently own 1 BTC, I say make that your goal for 2017.
Remember, most of the world still has no idea what Bitcoin is. Even paying the current price, a few years from now you may still be considered an "early adopter".
All we need is one big website like Amazon to start accepting payments in Bitcoin and a price of $900 will seem like a distant past.

So true. It's worth $14 Billion and rising yet most people know nothing about it.

[Mometaskers]

No. The only bit in my wallet is the 0.25 my cuz gave me. Heck, I wasn't even able to cash out those satoshis from those freakin faucets. Well considering how high the price is now, I probably won't be getting 1 in a long time. Maybe when I finally have skills to trade, maybe I can earn some but for now, unlikely I'd get my hand on one.
