Why are you involved with Crypto?

[taufik123]

when I first entered the world of crypto, I didn't understand what crypto was. whether you can make money or not.
Then I was invited by my friend to join the bounty campaign and finally got a decent payment from the bounty. Most people join crypto because of reasons to earn extra income, and put aside the crypto technology function.
After a long time in the crypto world I realized how important this technology was because it could be implemented in all sectors. Crypto has become a lifestyle and a second source of income for me.

of course, I also provide the almost same answer to come here for making a profit by different types of activities, I think Cryptocurrency is the future in this monetary world and it will be the main payment system, so this is the high time to get involved here for the shake of your future, not only that but also crypto platform is giving me an opportunity to create some profit by Holding Bitcoin, So when you have a good option to make money then why you don't miss the chance, so my one and only motive to earn money from this platform, hopefully, it will be also as same in the coming days.

I am involved in Cryptocurrency because I can see crypto as a continuous learning platform. I am curious since there's still allot to discover despite of all the learnings that I already have. Basically, the updates concerning cryptocurries are addictive since whenever there would be a massive news, there's sure a good market profit if we know how the protocol would be. crypto trading is one of the things that I love in terms of crypto. In this case, it is not just the profit, but the excitement that I can experience when the market turns out to be in my favor.

I like the ideas of freedom and equality. This is exactly what is achieved through decentralization.

Our whole life since birth is very centralized, we are obliged to do certain things that we don’t want because the state or society says so.
We cannot live the lives we want because we do not have enough money that is concentrated in certain circles. If one is lucky to be born in more developed countries, and get more opportunities for a free choice of life, then others have no choice at all.
This is not fair.

Money is centralization. And in the form in which they exist now they provoke people to be slaves of systems than free people.

Blockchain can tear these chains. Blockchain - decentralization - a revolution capable of freeing humanity from the oppression of slave-owning financial systems.

I was introduced to cryptocurrency in 2016 by a friend but I was not interested, but I was later introduced by another person in 2018 because i need a source of income, though I have not been really lucky in term of monetary incentives but I have been enjoying the technology.

[Rikotin]

initially I was able to be here thanks to my friend who told me that this is one of the technologies of the future (blockhain) and I still remember that he said (before it's too late it's time for you to take part here) starting from there and much later I am increasingly interested in exploring Blokchain technology and several other functions as well. I feel proud to be a part of this industry and my friends (not yet understood crypto) will be surprised to see that I have walked forward and some of my friends are still lagging behind.

the reason I know crypto is simple because I want financial freedom.

There are many strategies you can take to achieve financial freedom, but I believe you can get the way from crypto.

You are right that the work or activities in crypto have characteristics compared to other methods. plus crypto technology that makes me still want to know more, so I chose to stay in crypto for a long time

That might be said to also be a hobby for us when we see the bitcoin market conditions feel happy. and also seeing the development that is happening now makes us all like that cryptocurrency itself has many other benefits besides an investment that many people know, but if we have long known many things that can be obtained

First I heard of Cryptocurrency, I was just ordinary and ignored it. But after I found out that Cryptocurrency is the future of payment technology that has many advantages compared to Conventional Currency, then I am interested to learn it. And after I understood that being here could make money, then I became more comfortable and happy to be involved in this Cryptocurrency.

Truly speaking I came to crypto industry to earn some extra bucks and bull run in late 2017 gave me many folds profit than my expectations. Although I could not retain all the profit and lost a good amount in next bear run but cryptocurrencies industry became one of my favorite option to invest. Currently blockchain is not popular among common people but once people will start understanding its power, cryptocurrencies may see a new high. Blockchain has made international transactions really easy.

I'm an economics scholar (and also a tech geek), and this paper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf brought my attention. It's a true masterpiece.

I'm here simply because I want to see what is the future of Bitcoin (and other coins). Aren't you curious as well?

Aside from monetary incentives in crypto, I rarely come across discussions pertaining to why the average enthusiast in crypto is involved with 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.

I consider my participation as a preparation for the future. We all know that there are a lot of assumption already that crypto is the future monetary system of the world. For me, if I wouldn't invest on crypto right now, I would miss out big time in the future so as a safety measure and to save myself from being broke in the future, I am investing and trading hard in crypto. I was able also to provide my necessities as I work here in crypto, in other words, I am earning while I am preparing for the future.

Awesome, I also joined crypto to earn as well as to learn, it's a double purpose for me. Life is too short I don't want to waste my time spending watching TV, so I would rather spend here earning while learning and I am enjoying my time here.

[Chrystora123]

personally, I jumped into crypto because of curiosity!!  I am very interested and feel challenged by new things (I assume crypto is new because only a few percents of people on earth understand what crypto is), after going deeper into crypto I found a huge business opportunity.  I have the desire to make my own cryptocurrency.

I came for the money, but quickly realized that i need to learn a lot if i want to make money.
Then i found other altcoins, got chatting with their devs and everyone were super friendly. I learned a lot from them and got hooked for being responsible of my own money. And the interactivity with devs were nothing like i've ever seen. I could just go to the twitter and ask and people would teach. Now i am just hooked on the crypto news, drama, news and inventions are happening every day. This is just so cool.

Hahaha, I'm in alt discussions everyday spreading merit, tbh this board still lacks more merits being spread around. I truly do enjoy reading everyone's responses and everyone's experiences. Anyone can learn a lot by reading these responses. I'm not oblivious to the implications though and some of you have caught onto this with your puppets.

[shadowduck]

from the very beginning, I came to cryptocurrency because it was interesting, but then it became only as a tool for me to make money and now after I’ve been in the market for years, I understand that we are working with the future and it is not just a money

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I joined cryptocurrency because I lost trust in my country's fiat currency after it depreciated value massively back in 2015. I starter searching online for alternative to investing in the bank then came across a project that offers 50% ROI monthly which unknowing to me was a Ponzi scheme (had no idea on what Ponzi were back then). To attract cryptocurrency enthusiasts they offered 60% interest if you invested with them using bitcoin (The name of the project was MMM and it ended badly as all.ponzi scheme does). I was curious about the new currency called bitcoin, did some search immediately picked interest since it offered the opportunity to achieved financial freedom while enjoying total control of your wealth.

When I first encountered cryptocurrency, I was a students, so I didn't have the opportunity to give it my full attention only owned few bitcoins but later came back into the industry fully in 2017 (that's when i created my account on the forum to stay update with latest information). I joined bitcoin mainly because i was trying to escape the fraud call fiat currencies but more advantage has kept me in the industry.

I think most of us here have discovered cryptocurrency because we knew in the first place that we could generate money using the new technology and as time goes by our views have changed. As for me I feel so much freedom using cryptocurrency and I also feel that I am rich because I have my owned bank!

[BonfireBob]

I always like the idea of cryptocurrencies, the idea of earning money was also very appreciated. One day I have decided to invest some money and see what happens, so from that day I'm still here
