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

[Clement Kaliyar]

There is not much of an attitude change for me and i am in the bitcoin world for the past three years and it took a while for me to get started because i have to learn everything before commiting to anything and there was no exchanges in my country when i first started and it was difficult to use credit cards to purchase the coins and things really changed from that situation and i am carefully watching the recovery of bitcoin after the slide when i first came in.

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.

It's only been 2 weeks since I first answered this post,  and my attitude towards bitcoin has yet again begun to shift.  Now I am feeling a sort of a nagging, impatient thing.   While the world slowly grows more fond of the beloved bitcoin, the unsinkable "titanic" that we trust, the blockchain, has slowed to a agonizing pace and I just want everyone to hurry up and get onboard. People, let's pick up the pace.  I realize this stance is obnoxious and probably less than insiteful.

I still love you Satoshi! 😍  I am a full supporter of the original creation, but even Satoshi admitted that the blockchain could be improved with larger blocks. 
 
So in the last 2 weeks my attitude has grown impatient.  That's all.

For the fast moving world, it has provided an solution to sought out the issues with the powerpacked technology which has been getting implementation in several sectors. This have changed the attitudeof few, it has been counting. Importantly it has given the self earning access which is not found much with other such innovationa.

I have always been into investing and it is an undeniable fact that bitcoin can be a powerful form of investment given its remarkable growth over the last few years. I have been into bitcoin for a little less than a couple of years and I cannot say that I have already familiarized myself fully with the ins and outs, much more on the very technical side of it. But I continue to have faith despite the drawbacks, the disagreements, and the volatility which makes it all the more unpredictable, and exciting in such a way.

I like the way Bitcoin is being transacted the smooth running of the wallet and the ability to cash my earnings through exchanger has changed my attitude toward bitcoin I am looking forward to globally acceptability of bitcoin, Payment of service with bitcoins had even made things easier for me in terms of online purchasing and rendering and selling of skills.

My first experience when i start using bitcoin is i see a future here and want to get rich quick and fast. But it's not easy as i thought, everything is not free on bitcoin, same as real money, we need to work to get that. I changed that bitcoin is a currency and it's not easy to get rich with bitcoin without hardwork.

Nothing the only change for me is the perspective through life and the earnings here in the internet because my perspective when I am not investing and not knowing the bitcoin is terrible because I ma not making money in my own, but know my earnings is the one that I am using to buy my needs. so bitcoin help me to give importance to money.

I used to think it was something like PayPal, until I started working on projects using it. I made a couple of webapps which ran on bitcoin nodes and tracked the bitcoin price. I understand now that bitcoin is one of a kind, with a huge community and a great philosophy.

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?

I came to use bitcoins because im searching for things that may help me earn extra money online as a student because i want to buy things that my parents cant do for me and for my savings also.My attitude is just like other users when they start,im greedy at earning and i want only fast cash.And i learn that it takes real long time to earn money online.

My first attitude when knowing bitcoin is make some dollars for fun. But the development of bitcoin today, makes me also make an investment. Which had initially only wanted to make money on the internet for fun, be a substantial revenue. For rich from itcoin I guess I have not been able to it. Thank you

The first time I interested in bitcoin is because it offer a great side income for me, but after I knew bitcoin for a long time now I see bitcoin as a currency and investment, I see so many potential in crypto currencies i believe in the future crypto will be a very useful currency

Same as the above statement I too got into bitcoin considering it an additional earning. Soon after that in a short it gave the knowledge and got interested to know more. Now I give importance as a earning, investment and mainly for gambling need.

I think that is the majority why we are here (extra income, sideline job). Everybody wants to earn and that's why they are putting so much force on the keyboard or keypad just to type constructive posts even in late hours. But I think some people here are here because they want to learn something more especially the programmers. We all have a various of reason why we are here but the good thing is we all support the community.

Well at first was, as with probably some more people here, the thought of getting some quick big money and yes those were the faucets back then lol but as the time passed, I've became interested in cryptography, programming and trading. So now that's my main hobby, and also provides me some money on the side to cover some bills. :p

So overall, from quick money to an interesting hobby.

The three fields you mentioned is in of the best way to earn more but hardest to learn, especially cryptography and programming, well I'm in electrical engineering field so I've only learned basic programming but I can solve the electricity cost. That's a nice move, you've learned something that beyond your expertise. It is a reminder that it's never too late to learn and the excuse like "I don't know how is just an excuse".

When I first started I was just curious to see how this will unfold. In the first 5 days I saw the price went down and I was very disappointed and I "gave up", I didn't use that money though because I was hoping for the best, and one day after the price started go high very quick and I was so excited. I'm still searching about Bitcoin and it's use cases, and I think is something that's beyond just money. Time will tell
