Hello Newbies! Here is place for your introducing post!

* ...

Tell us your story, I’m sure we will hear interesting ones!  

Here you can copy the code: (add your own text between the lines)

Thanks! I hope I can fulfill the expectations as a non-native English speaker. So I think everyone is welcome to post here, even if your English is not perfect.

* which country / continent are you from, how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
I'm from Europe and heard about Bitcoin the first time around 2014 but it was only surficial and my intention was in those days never to buy Bitcoin (yes  ). I quickly forgot it again and the next time I heard about it, the price was already over ten times the value of that time in 2014. This was in December 2017, when Bitcoin was big in the media. At the beginning of 2018 I decided to get into this and bought the first (pieces of) Bitcoins and Ethereum. I've still not sold them
It's very difficult to enter in a bear market, but you have some advantages to see if you are right here or not.

* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
* do you have any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
In my opinion you are not wrong if you invest in the proven ones, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The one which I do not like is Ripple. It contradicts the decentralized idea of Bitcoin and is not suitable to improve the financial system in any ways. It could make it even worse.
The risk I would try to keep low, which also results in not buying shitcoins. There are some good projects, but in the future lots of them will be sorted out.
Bitcointalk is a good choice because it is the biggest forum and if you ask it is very likely you get a good answer.

* What are my hopes of getting into this market?
We still have the chance to be one of the early adopters and help all those people who want changes to a better financial system. Now we have the opportunity and who knows how often we will have it in the future.
It’s likely we can be part of an impressive change and so I hope to do my part to make this project a little bit more successful.

* which country / continent are you from?
Europe. You can predict my country by looking at my nickname
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
I'm not sure when exactly I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, maybe in 2014. I joined Bitcoin world in 2015. I was looking for methods to earn some money online. I used PTC websites, but it was basically waste of time. Then I saw many advertisements of Freebitco.in. Then I thought that Bitcoin is something like rocket science and it's not beginner friendly thing. But I tried to register on Freebitco.in, created wallets on Coinbase and Blockchain.info. This is how my journey started.
* what are your hopes to get into this market?
Good question. I like idea to be independent from banks, stay anonymous. And it's nice to earn some extra money by doing various crypto related activities.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
Bitcoin, obviously! Don't know exact reason why, but I'm old fan of Dogecoin. I also like NEM - in my opinion it's solid coin with strong team,  nice community and serious plans.
* do you have any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
Ripple, but I don't call it as cryptocurrency. USDT. And lot of shitcoins and shittokens.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums
When I was newbie, Bitcointalk was first forum which I discovered. I have accounts on some other forums, but I don't use it much. Bitcointalk is biggest and most popular forum, I find everything what I need here. Other forums just don't have many active users.
And there is another reason. I had to promote my own faucet list - Bitcointalk is a great place to get many vistors to my website .
OP, it would be nice if you share your story by answering these questions.

Hey, great to hear some experiences from higher members, maybe i'll change the topic a little bit and encourage everyone to write their story. 

OP, it would be nice if you share your story by answering these questions.

I did it already above, mdayonliner asked for it. And yes, USDT is one of these creations we don't need. I don't like it too.

[Cashi]

OP was updated. Feel free to write your "first post" no matter what's your rank!

Good work mate. It's gonna be fun.
* which country / continent are you from?
127.0.0.1 (localhost), I have no county, no race. The am belongs to the earth.
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
One of my mad friend yelled about Bitcoin when he lost money in Binary Trading. It was like, "I better buy some Bitcoin". Since he is a mad one, no one never took it seriously. The year is may be 2011/12. I can not recall the exact year.
* what are your hopes to get into this market?
Cryptocurrency Market? Well I am not a fan of centralized corporation. They are dividing the whole world, media is their slave and they are manipulating the citizens. Banking is needed but we do not need a bank.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
Obviously Bitcoin, then ETH. There are few more though.
* are there any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
Not any specific one. I hate it when people say Ripple is a cryptocurrency. Ripple is a shame for the entire crypto space.
* tell us your risk-taking propensity
I can risk everything in something I believe in. I have done it a lot in past. I failed in the most but I had enough success as well.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums
I like the tendency of proving myself in anything. I may not stick to BitcoinTalk if there were no merit system. I am member with few other forums but not much active in those. I figured, I do not find much motivation over there.

* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums. This is the first one I heard about when researching diet bitcoin.

Do you know Ucash?
 I invested in Ucash, I failed the first time in crypto.
Ucash is like a big lesson to me. At that time I was a newbie.
After that time, I started to learn more about Crypto.

Just as a refresher, here's some guidance from the "Newbies - read before posting" thread.

Forum Tips

Introductory threads: If you feel the need to post an introduction thread please take the effort to write something substantial or don't bother at all. Threads and post that contain only one word/sentence such as "hello & welcome to the forum" will be removed without warning as it causes unnecessary clutter.

The introductions are great, let's just keep them "substantial"...tell us something real about yourself!

[Yusuke777]

I could invest to bitcoin at three  years ago.
but I didn't it.
I regret but I will wait for the next opportunity.

Thank you for the feedback so far, I've added a code you can copy easily and fill in your own text!

Hello
I'm from Asia. Heard first time about Bitcoin in Nov/ Dec 2016 and Ripple was in news too. Invested a lot in Ripple, money tripled and I bought more because I was a noob. Didn't know when to sell, so ultimately got rekt, lost 80% of the amount invested. Started learning from there, still learning. After that, didn't lose anything but haven't earned anything also. But I'm optimistic, I'll learn more and continue investing. My biggest mistake was to enter market without any knowledge and investing a huge amount (for me). Crypto is interesting.
