how has your attitude to bitcoin changed the longer you've been into it?

[Kevin77]

My attitude has very much been the same, but I definitely have seen the community shift gears in the last 2 or so years. The infighting has been a bit disheartening and the sense of us against the world has changed into us against us.

My vison to the bitcoin has been changing the more and more I learn about it, but the first time that I knew about it people told me that bitcoin was a type of currency that criminals and hackers use to make some illegal transactions, but when I looked deep into the information and searched more about it I found out about the truth most of the normal people ignore which is that bitcoin is a good thing and has quite the potential and quite the community that keeps it alive and rich.

what was your attitude when you first got into bitcoin? was it to get rich quick? make some dollars? learn the tech?

and how has it changed the more you've learnt? did you go from a moon kid to a serious scholar of the tech or even more of a moon kid than before?

i started off as interested in the dollars, then got more and more fascinated by the whole world around it, now i think i'm starting to come out the other side a little.

the more i've learnt about this scene the more screwed up it seems and i don't see how it's gonna cure itself. there's money to be made but i might be doing it no longer believing in its immediate future.

cryptocurrencies will never go anywhere but i'm starting to think what's around us now will be looked back on as the experimental and growing pains phase rather than anything that directly survives and is built on into the future. uncool but from the heart.

what about you?

my first time attitude is i am really curious about bitcoin, i search more in many websites with the info about bitcoin, first time i really don't know that bitcoin can make some dollars but after i learn more, i realize that bitcoin can help me to make some money too. first time i am confusing what will i am gonna do with my bitcoin. from collecting bitcoin, what i need to do to have a cash in my bank account, its like a story for me and i am glad that i am in bitcoin world now and i want to use bitcoin no matter how long it would be.

almost all individuals encountered and experienced that curiosity about bitcoin including myself. in fact, I'm a silent type of a person before but when I got involved here in the forum I felt that I became talkative here, either I asked the audience in the thread section or I'm the who respond who has a concern question about what he/she want to know.

My attitude has changed a lot since knowing bitcoin. I know that bitcoins do not have physical form and this is the drawback I heard from someone. But as I learn bitcoin, so can easily converted to fiat so it you want to buy something that requires physical money, all you have to do it convert it to cash then you can use it to buy.

When I started it I was all about earning a few extra cash for purchasing some misc stuff and I wanted to learn about the tech. I am now wanting to get at least normal salary in Bitcoin rather than earning just a few dollars. As for the tech, I am still wanting to learn more. I was also excited every time I was about to recieve Bitcoins, but now it is just normal and.an everyday thing.

[Silberman]

I have changed a little bit my opinion about bitcoin as I have been part of the community, at first bitcoin to me was nothing more than a useful way to send money overseas, then as I read about the technology I became enthusiastic about it.

[batang_bitcoin]

what was your attitude when you first got into bitcoin? was it to get rich quick? make some dollars? learn the tech?

My attitude is very positive and upon reading those people that made riches with bitcoin it encouraged me to get rich but I don't intend it to become fast. It has a lot of purpose when I entered to bitcoin, earning while learning.

and how has it changed the more you've learnt? did you go from a moon kid to a serious scholar of the tech or even more of a moon kid than before?

Well when it comes to learning, I'm trying to make myself get along with the advancements and I'm still learning from the experts.

i started off as interested in the dollars, then got more and more fascinated by the whole world around it, now i think i'm starting to come out the other side a little.

It's a normal thing once you are starting to learn on it, we just want to go to the next level.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Been around bitcoin for just over 2 years now.  It was kind of a mystery at first as to exactly how to get it and so forth, but I'd been watching the price for a year before actually buying any.  I don't think my attitude has changed drastically, except that I now view it as an awful currency but a great instrument for speculation.  I'm never looking to get rich with it.

But I'm more positive about its prospects for survival, I can say that.  I thought bitcoin would have died by now.  I honestly thought it was a fad, like Flooz was in the late 90's.

[phr0stbyt3]

It has actually changed me a lot. It has made me realize that if i need more profit i need to buy more bitcoins and for that i need to work more and be more productive. I have invested in many places and have good decent returns also  but bitcoin is the best one , nothing to do , not much knowledge needed if i just want to invest and got to know more about different altcoins.

[mylabs01]

since i get into bitcoin, i've become a better person. like ive become hard working. hard working to earn. i threw hardwork for reading more about bitcoin especially articles for trading. cause im want to learn more about it.

[Dudeperfect]

Not much, I was in love with this technology and when I analyse myself today, I find the same. I was using PayPal before getting into cryptocurrencies but then central bank of my country laid some serious restrictions on the use of PayPal which caused an extra cut in my profits. Since I am in the international business I had to pay extra fees to get money in my hands, well it was not the tax but other charges and efforts and time.

I don't do any illegal activity thus I was not happy to pay extra charges, I tried bitcoin to see if there are any difference and boom. It was not only profitable on monetary aspects but also on other aspects of time and efforts.

[Lorilikes]

At first, my relationship to Bitcoin was mild, flirtatious and purely for gaming, entertainment and sometimes profit, but now I have grown fond of the masterpiece that is the blockchain and all of its clever pieces.  Why have we given so much control to banks for so many generations without noticing they have their fingers crossed behind their backs as they edit the ledgers and reconcile the books, with our money?  I love bitcoin more than ever for its clever way of saying " no thank you " to big banking.   Well at least it removes much of the abused power.

[pinkpanther03]

When I started into bitcoin, my only reason was I want to earn money only. By that time I want to earn big at once in bitcoin, but that's not possible for a newbie like me unless I have a lucky charm, LOL
It's been less than a year before i came up in the postion to earn bitcoin. In other words bitcoin helped me out to become patience into learning from being impatience before in anything. Then I learned how to be economize

[Soul Reaper]

See when i first heard about the forum,
I was very excited and filled with enthusiasm to earn bitcoins.
And I had already made many long term plans.
I had also posted rigrously for a long period of time.
But now I have slowed down a bit,
Due to the increasing transaction fee which is legit irritating.
Also the fact that the transaction take a lot of time to confirm.

We all felt excited when the first time we join the bitcoin community and I don't get why you have been let down with the fees . The fees are just less than $1 or cents . People who have their transaction stucked is when they'd use a crappy wallet or didn't study that much regarding the fees .
And you said that you want to earn right? If you produce a decent earnings per month you will just get used and adapt to the fees . So go ahead and pursue that plan of yours . Just be sure that you have make as many back up plans as possibe cause the industry of cryptocurrencies is very much unpredictable . You won't know what will happen .

[Astvile]

When i get into bitcoins my first thing in my mind is to earn and get rich and get money real quick.And when im in bitcoin jobs already i thought that it will not be like that,everything will not go on my way of thinking.I learned that it is hard and i became patient through it.And now im living my earning in bitcoin

[Dorky]

My opinion of bitcoin is more assured and certain the longer I am into it.

Basiccally i learn about the new technology in internet include bitcoin because bitcoin is something new in the internet and I don't think about the make money in the early with bitcoin
but today except getting new informations and knowledge about bitcoin and related with digital coins, i have got the money too via trading bitcoin and altcoins.

[Betwrong]

First I heard about Bitcoin long time ago when the price of 1 BTC was around $5. I just ignored the information back then. First of because I didn't have spare $5, secondly even if I had I thought I'd rather spend it on something else.

Second time just after the Silk Road bust. It was all over the news and I remembered that I heard already about this Bitcoin thing. BTC was less then $200 back then and I was planning to buy at least a $20 worth amount, but the price started to rise so fast, and before long it reached $1,200. Then I thought "If it goes back to $200 I'll definitely buy some."

Eventually, when the price went down to below $400 I decided to buy $20-$30 worth of BTC but no matter how hard I tried I didn't manage to find anyone who was ready to sell me that amount. The minimum you could buy on my localbitcoins was $50 worth of BTC. So then I haven't bought anything too.

And only a year later, when Bitcoin was around $240, I'd started collecting my first satoshis through various faucets.

I never participated in any activity that I am not 100% convinced.  Before I join the Bitcoin community, I have set myself up to trust it.  And it keeps going stronger even with all this political debate and FUD scattering around the internet about Bitcoin.  Unless  I have obeserved that Bitcoin is going no where, my attitude toward Bitcoin will not change.

The process of sending money from my computer is very different than then the norm.The whole paying things with Bitcoin is getting to an area where there's many people trying to use the coin to purchase a item online.
Bitcoin is one of the payment systems that allow regular people to have a feeling of holding a little bit of money. It seems like once thinner storage drives get made the people will have more money on them.
