Why are you involved with Crypto?

[BennyK]

I have this great enthusiasm for crypto and Blockchain technology because its usage is broad and can be used in a diverse way. Each cryptocurrency or project has its unique idea and solution it offers. It gets more interesting as one studies the various concepts underpinning the various coins on the market. Cryptocurrencies have made payment systems within these sectors very convenient and simple.

I engaged myself in crypto almost 5 years ago not only because of the opportunity to earn due to its fluctuation but also how it makes my life convenient. Like sending money to my loved ones, the fast transaction, less fee and hassle free makes me hook to crypto particularly to bitcoin.

From then I started to gain knowledge and had a better understanding about blockchain technology. I believe there's more to look forward and we should not focus only on the market price but more on the technology itself.

Initially I was involved in the crypto industry because of the digital currency. I'm interested in the system, as you said that the market needs mass then how the system is based on user confidence. Because according to the anonymous system/freedom of transactions can be very used by fraudsters. I have also been in the blockchain industry for almost 7 years, which I regret here is the change in the concept of crypto "currencies".

Aside from monetary incentives in crypto, I rarely come across discussions pertaining to why the average enthusiast in crypto is involved in crypto. While the answer may be pretty straightforward, there are some outliers.

Crypto means much more than just monetary incentives, it's essentially a technical revolution that has involved the masses, something you and I can be apart of. Ultimately, that's probably one of my greatest interests for blockchain and crypto. Another big intrigue for me is the evolution of blockchain tech in itself. I've been around for quite sometime and have witnessed the evolution of cryptos, businesses, behaviors and attitudes.

These 2 factors, along with several others, are the reasons I continue to be involved on a community and business level with crypto. It's become a hobby, passion and business for me.

Haha true, not enough non-money based convos here (i hope this becomes a high quality megathread)

Mostly the same for me, hobby passion, business. tho it grew into a business #1 over the years in my situation, whereas it STARTED as a hobby/interest
I got hit like a truck by BTC, the day i realized this was the first disruptive tech developed since maybe the internet itself  
It was sad to watch some nations embrace the tech (Japan), while others got super scared of it (india).  its coming around now everywhere mostly tho

I live in the middle of nowhere in far North Canada, theres no opportunity up here but meager labor jobs, Blockchain (thru mining for me personally), became a career
funny how it works out, my great grandaddy was a miner, tho he carried a literal pickaxe, i like to think im the same, just in a digital age

This tech is/will continue to change the world, and ill be here to help process transactions to help (and make a living for my family) all the way

It is impossible to ignore crypto coins now. They are becoming the trend. We have witnessed people becoming millionaire with the help of bitcoin, the first crypto currency. Not only this, but all those who invested in bitcoin and stayed with it through harsh times, were able to improve their financial standards. At present, trustworthy crypto coins are a source of income. Everyone wants to become rich.

[Aabcde]

At first, I accidentally knew the crypto world from someone in an online business group on Facebook. Yes, I tried to find additional income to pay for my tuition in 2014. Then someone in the group posted about bitcoin, and I'm curious about that. 1-2 days I learned from google what is bitcoin. A week later I tried to find a way to get it by following the initial giveaway from XLM. That was my first coin, and I immediately exchanged it for bitcoin on the Thailand exchange, I forgot the name.
Until now I am still bound by bitcoin, yes even though it is not for business purposes or anything that requires a large capital. I just believe that blockchain technology is what society needs for a fair life.

Fair life or not, cryptocurrency has been advanced to its state where people can actually use digital on many aspect. Admit it or not, crypto will only go forward and improved. Ever since its release 2009 it becomes a wild ground for innovations. I attached with it due to the fact that I can used them for many things and monetizing it is one thing Ive done.

That's right, cryptocurrency will continue to grow according to the needs of human life. Maybe not all aspects of human life can use crypto or blockchain itself, but for some people like us, this is very helpful especially the income from crypto itself. And I will continue to believe that this technology will change all aspects of human life, who knows when but will definitely happen.

I am always open for every opportunity online, I was actually involved in a scam project, tried invested in a captcha project as they said I can earn couple of $ for doing captcha, then turned out to be scam, good thing one of my friend told me that he knows this forum and I can earn a penny to me depending on me.

From that moment I begun doing and exploring more about crypto.

[TelolettOm]

I have an interest. because at first cryptocurrency at that time was unknown to me and by chance my hobby really liked games and got the faucet from the game at first. to bring me to this forum and get to know more about cryptocurrency. ranging from investments to trading that can provide additional income for me. maybe this hobby can provide income for me

[Shasha80]

I was involved with cryptocurrency because at first I was looking for income via the internet, then found the
faucet bitcoin. From there I started collecting bitcoins from various faucets, after that I got to know airdrops.
About two years I went through it, the end did not feel the amount of bitcoin that I collected quite a lot.
Next I begin learn trading and try to play trading until now.

[erickastella]

I'm involved with crypto because I want to change the mindset of my friend who talks about playing crypto / a kind of bitcoin. It's no use to waste time, it's better to work in an office.
therefore I play crypto from airdrop, bounty, to trading, which makes my monthly income beat my friend who works in an office

Same, I am into bitcoin some 5 years ago. At first I am just fascinated the way it was introduced and sooner I am researching its capability. when an local exchange open on our country, I joined and experienced how it works. I topup my mobile using bitcoin  and even pay my bills. Since then I am amazed its application, the convenience it brings, and flexibility/portability within the digital wallet. I applaud Satoshi Nakamoto, the who makes this things possible.

[Stanlo]

I heard about crypto years back and i was into pyramid schemes at the time so we are told to make deposits using bitcoin, that was the time i start digging what bitcoin is all about until i made my first purchase through luno, i like techs that the government can't sit on and control, it make sense that we can make profits too

[pamsugas]

When I joined crypto from Stellar Airdrop in 2014 I got $ 100 from Stellar. Then I learned trading at Bittrex. I lost $ 100 and I stopped. then in 2017 due to hear btc rose to $ 10,000. in 2017 I studied bounty, trading, airdrop, now crypto is my business

I always think of being involved in some businesses whatever it is except of illegal business of course. Till I came across of the idea of trading, investing and something more about crypto. And then after this a friend of mine knew something about crypto that is why I continue to this. Well I never thought of this world, no tax, plays only with technologies and so on. Pretty convenient it is.

[dnprock]

I got into Bitcoin after 2017 crash. I studied the tech and thought it was pretty interesting. First, I read on ETH but decided to stay with Bitcoin. Then I thought about why people don't use crypto for transactions. I currently run a project to experiment with inflation. Through the project, I learned a lot about Bitcoin and crypto in general. I hope my project goes somewhere. If not, I hope someone would come up with something interesting in the next decade.

[meliodas]

I am involved with cryptocurrency because I discovered that there is an opportunity here in cryptocurrency which are both education and profitability. I said education because I can learn different things when I will go through cryptocurrency investing like proper portfolio management, self-discipline etc. Profitability is one of the opportunity because when you go investing in cryptocurrency then there is a high probability that you will earn if you will choose the good cryptocurrencies and hold them long term.

[biddicoin]

two make sense reasons are technology and money. i think those are important to growing this industry
we are here for the next technology but we cant or hard to do without any good profit. so those can be balanced to do
if many people here is just for money, it is no problem. at least they make crypto become to have higher marketcap, to be familiar with anyone

[EdvinZ]

I firmly believe that people are lying if they say that they buy cryptocurrencies and are interested in them only because it is high-tech money. These people are deceitful, because each holder of cryptocurrencies first hopes for their growth, that is, wants to make money in this market. Already behind this basic need for earnings is all the cryptocurrency enthusiasm and all that. If cryptocurrencies did not bring income, then in this get-together there would be only programmers who would develop stable coins, too, not for free, but receiving a salary for their work done.

[Ss4sukE]

Crypto is not for those people who didn't have the desired savings, if you're a basic earner type of person who just work for money at your own sweat, don't risk your money for crypto. Having stable job is good enough to support your family and basic needs in order to live. Predicting cryptocurrency price is the hardest thing to do, if you're not seriously dealing with several trading strategies and all related factor that affects increase efficiently.

I disagree, with proper money management they can participate and crypto has no restrictions, its for everyone.
--
I am involve in crypto because i want to make a difference in my life and take part in the future of money evolution.

I agree with your point, this is a free forum and anyone can participate in this industry. it's just a matter of how someone in managing their financial management correctly, if someone is afraid of risk then there's no need to bother to get involved in it.
My involvement is participating in this industry because I believe crypto is one of the new alternatives in the form of digital currencies for the future.

[Nhor1011]

 I want to have work online and before i have no idea about crypto until i heard from my neighbor about bitcoin last year 2017 and i was curious if what is it because he didn't told me anything about bitcoin that's why i made a research by my own and i found out this forum. It's very interesting to me during the time that i discovered crypto to earn money and that's the reason why i involved in crypto,it gives me freedom to work and it helps me a lot. Also the technology behind cryptocurrency  is very useful.

[Reid]

Thank you for that.
I have been also looking for this kind of answers here but it seems like it had always been about the money.
Sure, that is one thing we all want but as time flies by you begun to love what you are doing and getting deeper into knowing more about crypto.
Sadly, not all could tell this and that is why we are slowly growing.
