From financial debt to financial stability- thanks to bitcoin

[Eclipse26]

Your story was inspiring. I'm also from the Philippines and I don't know if it's just Filipino families but mostly they won't believe it at first(earning here) until you've shown them the fruit of your hard work. Although unlike you, I'm still a student but what's good bitcoin brought me is that it helped me sustain my needs. I don't have to ask my parents for my allowance going to school everyday cause I can manage to feed myself. Bitcoin is indeed a big help.

my life before getting to know bitcoin, I was only a construction worker whose salary was enough to eat and I was born in a poor family with a salary I worked at a builder, I could not buy electronic goods such as gadgets after I thought I stopped working on a construction site because my salary was not a lot and i tried to learn how to earn money with bitcoin and now i can buy some facilities and some other electronic goods for only a short time, i want to thank you for bitcoin for having changed our lives.

Honestly every crypto enthusiasts has one or two touching stories to say about bitcoin, the OP had really emphasized how he was bailed out from his debts thanks to bitcoin, personally my 9 to 5  salary  payment is not sufficient enough for my needs, it was bitcoin that brought kind of succor as a supplement to my earnings and opened up more opportunities particularly trading which I am trying to divert my investment so as to be able to be self sufficient and not dependent on my salary.

Two of my closest friends who lived and worked together had a similar story with some differences. they started mining around 2012 and started mining on GPUs to build out an amazing gaming rig and just kept upgrading the rigs. they just kept getting more, GPUs and their home started looking like a server.

Even got one of the first Butterfly ASICs. slowly they stopped mining as their GPUs stopped getting a profit and their overclocked gpus slowly burnt themselves out. Then they just HODL. Just didn't pay attention, checked out, and said they wouldn't do anything until it changed their life. At 2018 they said that would sell at $10,000 to pay off their students loans and etc. this is amazing, they sold not even 30 percent of their holdings and they are now debt free and it changed their life forever.

It is a great story, but it serves to get another job that maximizes your finances, thereby reducing your debts and stabilizing your life. Bitcoin had no effect compared to being an additional job.
I expected that you bought coins in 2013 and surprised that worth thousands of dollars. Perhaps your story is like this forum changed your life by giving you a new opportunity to work.

Generally, since your income is stable, try to keep about 10% to 30% of your surplus income, keep it for about 10 years. You may provide university fees for your daughter.

Check this ----> I received my first penny's worth of BTC 6 years ago as a broke college freshman. I didn't have the money to invest then. Hindsight is 20/20, made my first investment this week!

I used this topic since I wanted to share my experience before I engaged in bitcoin. In 2013 I lost all of my savings when I joined AMAN Features. AMAN Features is a pyramiding scheme in guise of a trading investment that took billions of pesos around the Philippines. Because of that I was full of debt, after year I got married and at the same time my wife gave birth to my son. My debt has increased again and because of the interest from the debts I can only take home 10$ every 15 days to feed my family. Of course that was not enough and so I again applied for some loan from a different individual so I can provide the needs of my family especially my 1 year old child. In 2015 I was lucky to be hired as a regular employee but because of my debts my salary just went to the loan sharks. At the same year I look for online jobs but I failed but what I encountered was the bitcoin faucets online. I started collecting faucets and I am earning half a dollar per month. My mother, brother including my wife were laughing and they told me that my eyes will just get painful and I will not earn something, it is not worth it they said. Finally in 2016 I did some affiliate marketing and one of the owner of that company noticed my talent and hired me to be a part of their company with my salary in the form of bitcoin. With my salary I started doing trading while doing signature campaign and guess what by the fourth quarter of 2016 I actually paid all of my debt. Right now my journey from being drowned in debt was exchanged to a financially stabled life, my family is now eating good food, I can send my wife to college including my child, I now have a simple house worth 14k$, I bought some appliances clothings.

Without bitcoin my life was a mess, I was full of stress. But bitcoin changed my life and here I am now a financially stable individual. Though I am not a millionaire but I am no longer in poverty.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! I always enjoy seeing some amazing Bitcoin success stories as such. Bitcoin has over the years helped alot of people achieve financial freedom to some extent. World over, there are alot of people with same stories
I have had my own fair share of such too.

Well thanks to Bitcoin I manage to earn easily and comfortably at home and I also manage to earn more money compared when I was working 8-9 hours a day.
Now I hold my time and have so many free time on my hand .
I saved an amount of money that I never imagined that I could .

I remember this kind of story just like the same to my friends friend, he said that Bitcoin and altcoins changed their lives. And it all started on last 2017 when the price of Bitcoin during that time skyrocketed to $20,000 i just don't know if what was the price they sold their cryptocurrencies but it really changed their lives. And now my friend is slowly changing his life too thanks to Bitcoin.

Good story. Bitcoin is the real game-changer for a messy situation. I wish I had sized the opportunity in early 2017, USI TECH and lending coins dealt a bad blow on my finance. I know something good is on the way.

[bitzizzix]

As long as we all join bitcoin, all the stories about the good things from bitcoin from all users have a lot in common and we can't deny that, and bitcoin can really change someone's life better than ever before, especially in finance and economics them and about any problems and can be overcome with bitcoin.
and I also enjoy it because I can realize what I want and can help my family overcome economic problems and other needs.
and bitcoin is like a gift from God to those who have problems, especially in the financial sector.

Very inspiring story congratulations to you, satoshi creation can really change someone's lives or everyone. I am not earning that much in bitcoin but I can buy things for myself, pay bills. etc. Last 2017 was my biggest earnings here in bitcointalk with bitcoin when the price reaches $19k.  Everything was green I got greedy I wish I convert all my earning into a stable coin but still, I'm blessed being here on bitcointalk where everything started.

[Edraket31]

I am not one of the people who become rich in Bitcoin as I don't have much BTC saving in my wallet. But I am one of the thousand of people who change life of this. I may not rich, but I have small business now that covers our utility bills and our daily expenses. So my fix salary as well as other sidelines, 80% of it allotted for savings.

[airdnasxela]

It's great that I've read a lot stories here how bitcoin helped them change their lives. Bitcoin truly is very helpful. I still don't have a life changing experience that I can share just like op. But I can say that with bitcoin, I learned a lot. I can buy my necessities and wants (of course I have to work for it) because of bitcoin. This is really a great experience, earning and at the same time, learning.

[maxreish]

Such an inspirational story. Unfortunately, there are so many ponzi schemes that attracts innocent people. I have never heard of AMAN but I do know some bitcoin trading ponzi networking. My brother advised me not to fall for those tricks. The lesson here is that we can even do trading by our own with the help of this forum, youtube videos and some immediate mentors.

Anyway, I'm so happy that you compensate your deficit before. Good thing you don't only rely with trading earnings but you still have a good stable job.

Whats your bitcoin life changing story?

I think it's not about bitcoin but more about how you found a new source of earning for your. I am trying to say that getting fooled by AMAN features was your wrong doing as you were naive enough to be tricked. But on the other hand your earnings in bitcoin was your own success too. Even if there was some other source of Income(not decentralized) it would have still meant financial freedom and financial stability for you. But nevertheless bitcoin has spurred a lots of employment opportunities especially for tech geeks who are fond of staying online and knowing things.

This is a very real outcome of events, and bitcoin will be able to help this happen

What you shared is indeed an inspirational story. There is a bit of risk when you accepted to be paid in the form of Bitcoin but your risk paid off. Now you have what they called "Financial Freedom" with the help of Bitcoin.

I will share my experience here but it will be summarized. I was working in the government last 2017 when I decided to learn cryptocurrency in general and at that year, I also learned how to earn money in crypto thru different bounty campaigns. I worked in the government for almost 2 years and decided to stop this year because I decided to focus on what I love which is playing games (Have my youtube channel ). What I'm earning here monthly is greater than my monthly salary in the government but it is more stressful there that is why I decided to stop working for them too.

Without bitcoin my life was a mess, I was full of stress. But bitcoin changed my life and here I am now a financially stable individual. Though I am not a millionaire but I am no longer in poverty.

Whats your bitcoin life changing story?

I really felt on what you had experience here yet I do have almost the same story as yours where I don't have a stable job until some of my friends do introduce bitcoin to me.

When I got curios on whats it all about then I do made up some research and same as yours I do start up with faucets until I decide to engage with bounties when I do find out this forum.

Luckily I do able to earn some of the amounts then I do re-roll it on some investments and trading until I do able to maintain to get some gains.

Success isn't really the outcome of your luck, success is the result of someone's hardwork. If not for the financial debt you've been into, you won't be encountering bitcoin. It shows that if bitcoin could help an economy rise from the depth of economic despair, it would probably could help an individual rise and get up from financial debt and help them be financially stable. This is no wonder one of the factor why bitcoin is named and entitled as the king of cryptocurrency, it has lots of advantages than altcoins and of course than traditional money. But it's just a matter of hardwork to know where bitcoin will take you.

most people who know and invest in bitcoin before 2017 will experience a pleasant life story like OP. they were lucky to get to know bitcoin before the big spike so they all made huge profits. I also have a happy story I can finish building my house too because of bitcoin. but there are people who are not as fortunate as we are, those who invested in bitcoin in 2018 they all must have complained about buying when bitcoin was expensive and then not the profit they got. because the price of bitcoin continues to decline to $ 3k in early 2019.

I am able to support my finances too, I started here when I was in College, and I am so thankful because I don't need to be burden to the family who adopted me, I was able to support my school fees, projects, uniforms and other expense. I learned to manage my fund too as I am also helping my siblings with their needs in school.
