What did you know about Bitcoin before becoming a bitcoiner?

[riyadmozu19]

In 2015 was looking for a way to earn money. One of my facebook friend told me to join in a matrix website which matrix was based on bitcoin so he tell me to buy bitcoin from him because our country doesn't allow bitcoin. I was fully astonished to know about bitcoin which is a digital coin no one can trace my income. Then I have started research on bitcoin.

I used to know about Bitcoin in 2013, when I was just participating in the XML airdrop program and selling it to merchants. At that time, I was not aware of the true value of bitcoin. Up to now its development has made the whole world recognize this existence.

Actually I had know what bitcoin is and never interested on it until my friend showed how he earned from it abd there were lot of projects that becoming successful. It took time before I read articles about bitcoin and realize that it is also life changing. I learned the risks and continue to gain from bitcoin.

I have heard a lot about Bitcoin before. But later on I invested my money in it. I always care about one thing about the security of my money. And I found it more professional and secure. So, there is no doubt of investing my money in this project.

Majority responses in this thread states that they started using BTCitcoin when they are looking to earn money .
I came to BTCitcoin when paypal started freezing accounts back in 2011 and the admin of darkside introduced me to BTCitcoin, if anyone who was a member during the hay days which means prior to 2008 you might know me by my alias in that site and if anyone is here do PM me. I came to this forum very late but a bitcoiner for a long time and then i was busy in my real life during those period and when i was free i registered here.

It’s late year of 2015 when my colleague always investing in a Ponzi scheme, doubler site when paying bitcoin. A friend of mine shows how he really earns from Ponzi scheme. I’ve become interested at that time that I wanted also to earn bitcoin without knowing how it really works. As months passed, an eagerness to earn I follow the footstep of my friend but ended up I got scam then. Afterwards, I watched video all about bitcoin and how I can earn from it so it helps me a lot until I found out this forum.

 It was an early part of 2017 when I knew first about bitcoin. One of my cousins told me to invest some money in bitcoin. At that time he told me that bitcoin is a potential currency and I can make a profit by invest in it. After that, I start learning about bitcoin and now I am a bitcoiner.

Frankly speaking, I didn't know anything about bitcoin prior to becoming bitcoiner. When I first started using bitcoin, I didn't even know how it works. All I used to know was that there are very different ways to earn bitcoin than traditional money like using faucets, micro-earning sites, etc. and such earnings will grow over time if hold as the bitcoins.

You might successfully enjoy your journey after investing to this industry since you are calling yourself as bitcoiners. The time of you investment is a good timing as bitcoin value early 2017 is still cheap, then the rest was history. Learning this market was a blessing to many investors who manage to
catch the right train to ride, while for some who's still learning and trying also to succeed it's still possible to earn decent if you have the right attitude and good optimistic point of views.

i know bitcoin to be a transaction similar to payment syestem like perfect money but later i came to know about blockchain and technology behind bitcoin

[nutella_11]

Everything I knew was the fact that Bitcoin is a virtual money. Bitcoin was something quite mysterious to me and I had never thought that I would be a part of the cryptocurrency world. Now I'm super glad that I've decided to invest in cryptocurrencies.

I became bitcoiner six years agp. I didn't know anything about Bitcoin, literary. I came accross Bitcoin on the Internet, accidentaly, looking for something completely different. But I got interested immediately and the rest is history. I'm involved in Bitcoin since then without interruptions and I never regreted it, no matter the hard times.
I learned a lot along and that is very valuable experience for me.

[airdnasxela]

I've been hearing 'bitcoin' before but didn't really care about since I don't even know what that is and some are even saying bitcoin were being used with criminal activities so at first I thought it was something illegal, bad, and even in deep web. That's why I don't really gave attention to it but  a friend of mine introduced me to it and the slowly I started learning bitcoin. Not only bitcoin but also other cryptocurrency.

As most users I too knew about bitcoin as virtual money. When I was introduced to bitcoin usage he explained it doesn't have a physical presence. Everything can be visually seen, and it does everything that can be done with physical currencies. Along with the same this gives opportunity to earn. This is how I heard about bitcoin, and I belive most of the users in the forum seems to have similar experience as mine.

As for me, I'll just the same a most of other crypto user, I started with faucets which a friend of mine taught me, I know nothing at first but I started learning by reading and watching a lot in crypto-related sites. Since then I learned the basics and slowly learning more things I need to learn.

This is a question to people who at some point discovered Bitcoin, but only became Bitcoin enthusiasts later - what was your experience?

I'll start with my story - I have first learned about Bitcoin in 2012 when I was looking for payment options for one online deal. In the end I used some other payment options, and Bitcoin didn't catch my interest, although I did claim a 0.005 BTC faucet once.

Then in 2014 I have learned about Dogecoin, and I still have vague understanding of cryptocurrency, I traded my BTC for DOGE and even tried to mine DOGE on my GPU. Then I quickly forgot about crypto again.

After that Bitcoin caught my attention in 2016 and I finally became a bitcoiner.

Looking back at all this, I wonder why it took me so long to became more involved in Bitcoin. What if millions of other people know about Bitcoin, but don't consider it as payment option or investment or store of value - how can we catch their attention?

The last I remembered is that when I was introduced to Bitcoin 5 years ago (I also created my first Bitcoin wallet and this account), I didn’t understand everything about it except telling me that I should buy low and sell high.

I was too focused in my network marketing journey back then, so I didn’t felt like investing there in Bitcoin. Three years later, I finally decided to learn more about Bitcoin because it was on its way to its all-time high.

P.S. I could have been a Legendary member by now if I was so active in this forum since 2014. However, I didn’t post until 3 years later. I just regretted a little bit.

Hello, guys, my name is Debby Tompkins. I am a crypto trader by profession. I am a traveler and I like to explore new places.
I have been into crypto trading for the past 2 years and I have learned a lot about cryptocurrencies.

Thanks

I became aware of bitcoin existence 6 years ago but I didnt pay much attention as I thought its a scam virtual currency. Then 2015 I joined in a facebook investment wherein the payment method is through btc so I decided to create a wallet to receive my payout. I became interested in bitcoin (after experiencing scam investment online) due to its volatility. Then I started to research about it and the other alts as well particularly eth and the rest is history.

Now its been few years since I became crypto enthusiast and despite of the ups and down of the market I still believe in the future of crypto and the blockchain technology.

[Mr.Ease]

hrm… I didn't know much at all about bitcoin or investing when I first got into BTC back in 2014...

I thought market cap was the Maximum value a coin could reach, so back then, I was thinking bitcoin would reach $3billion/coin 

I remember staring at the trading charts for days on end in the beginning... Learning everything.


So... pretty much I knew nothing at first, and it took awhile before I considered myself a bitcoinner. I takes time to understand this crazy market.

I met Bitcoin from a friend too, so all what I have right now and I am earning in different types of crypto earnings, I am thankful for him, and I know one day  I will also have the chance to thank him, because if not for him, I cannot met Bitcoin in my life, and I wouldn't  have the chance to earn extra apart from my salary in my job.

Before becoming a fan of Bitcoin, I knew that it has totally different system compared to fiat currencies that we use daily. When I heard that Bitcoin is decentralized, I was amazed by that information. I started to learn more detailed information about Bitcoin. Since that time, I am in this field.
