Share Your Experiences

[Darker45]

Was reading about how Bitcoin first came into existence and people's first experiences with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, etc on Reddit. I want to know how your guy's first experiences was with Bitcoin, and if you ever had any regrets or wins throughout the years. Also, would be cool to know how people first actually got Bitcoin back nearly a decade ago when it wasn't as easy as buying some from a local Bitcoin ATM near you.

A few friends, a few families, and a few encounters on the internet made me discover Bitcoin. My first encounter with Bitcoin is not so special, not even memorable. It is the first deeper encounters with Bitcoin that made me get into it finally.

My regrets are more interesting. But I've moved on. I regret not converting many of my altcoins to Bitcoin when they were still valuable. Many of them are now dead. Thousands of USD are lost in the process. I also regret selling BTC when the price was very low and not selling when the price was extremely high. Greed and fear are two things that turned me away from reason many times in the past. I've had trading regrets also.  But they were all lessons now.

My first experience with bitcoin is a pretty wild ride lets say. I started from faucets from 0 and I continue it because I want to earn free money online as a student and all went good. Regrets on my bitcoin journey are getting addicted to gambling which eventually literally cleaned my bitcoin bankroll back in the days.

Also, would be cool to know how people first actually got Bitcoin back nearly a decade ago when it wasn't as easy as buying some from a local Bitcoin ATM near you.

Maybe through exchanges? Because there is no way you can buy bitcoin back then when no such ATMs exist now, you can only buy from exchange or do p2p transactions to other bitcoin users.

Regrets with selling before but that is in the past. As of now, I just want to accumulate more preparing for something larger that may happen.

Regarding how I got bitcoin before, it was all faucets.
Never really trusted the technology in the start since there are a lot of negative feedbacks and also videos in Youtube that seems frustrated of how the price turned down in an instant.
So back to faucets, before I could hoard like 300k satoshis in just one day and I am not even doing it the full 24 hours. But now that wont happen anymore even if you do it for a very long time.
Better take jobs that pays in bitcoin and keep it until it could be used in a better way.

My regret and I guess this would be for others too is by not selling during the all-time high.

I've sold some but I didn't take the time to realize that it's already the right time to sell a lot on my stash including altcoins. That was a very valuable experience and removing the attitude of being greedy helped me.

One of my friend introduced me to bitcoin and said we can shared me some video link which was over an 2 hours video explaining in and out of bitcoin and it's purpose then he introduced me to this forum saying that we earn earn bitcoin just by posting comments in this forum and bitmixer was one of the reigning signature campaigns at that point of time and that's how I earned bitcoin before gradual excelling into other ways like trading, investment and all but unfortunately I lost my private key for blockchain wallet as I was bit careless at that point of time.

Every of my neighbors were investing in this popular scam and bankruptcy MMM that was my first experience with bitcoin after a while the moribund scheme introduced payment via bitcoin thus prompted me to further research about bitcoin this lead me to this wonderful and resourceful forum thereafter I took my time to read comments and post here and made further inquiries using google since then I have no regret in fact I am full of gratitude to satoshi, thermos and other forum moderators who had been doing a good job in keeping forum working.

I met Bitcoin because of friend, he encourage me to play in a online casino to play dice without placing any money. He taught me how to get the coin which will be used in gameplay which is Bitcoin through faucets and I got really fascinated about it. Eventually he found this forum and invited me again to participate in signature campaigns which gives me enough knowledge, experiences and funds then I learn how to trade and make an investment. The only regret I felt is that I should discover it more earlier so that I can invest an enough amount of money and get a high return in uptrend happened in 2017.

The experiences we have to share are definitely going to fill up several pages but i would just summarize it in a shot text.
First of all, i was like the doubtful Thomas when i heard about bitcoin from a friend until i earned some tokens which i later sold for some BTC. Damn, i was so delighted i could not hold back. I wanted to learn more about cryptocurrencies. Frankly speaking the income got me interested in cryptocurrencies but this motive changed when i got to realize the full potential of the blockchain technology and the use of cryptocurrencies.

Ever since then i have been a strong crypto enthusiasts who have got scammed with quite a number of projects and we have also had some success with other projects too. The journey through this space has been a hectic one but the knowledge gained was worth it! Hopefully we would see cryptocurrencies esp. Bitcoin being used in our daily activities in the next 10 years.

it's not been too long since I first came and encounter bitcoin unlike the others but as for my experience, at first, I was very reluctant trying this 'cause I don't know... I'm afraid that it might be a scam or whatsoever. But since my friend introduced it to me, and I and my other friends joined together so it gives me assurance. At first, it was hard to understand but as I learn enough, I never regret my decision coming here. And now, I'm even introducing it to others.

[Shasha80]

The first time I knew bitcoin around 2016 when I was looking for additional income on the internet, then I found faucet site and I tried
to collect bitcoin from there. Not long from there I got to know airdrops, after my airdrops get to know the bounty and trading. I tried to
run it for a year finally when the price of bitcoin reached the highest price i have a large profit. But unfortunately in 2018-2019 I was having
a hard time because my bitcoin dropped dramatically lost assets by up to 80%. Now I am trying to get up again through bounty and trading.

Most crypto users that exist today are actually started in doing faucets. I also do faucets when I was started, but I quit immediately for a reason that I can't meet the minimum withdrawal.
As a student, you're doing good since you already know how to earn money, though, we can say that profits from faucets is not that high, but it is still considered as an earning.

There are no financial services when bitcoin was started, only exchanges. Those were the days when bitcoin was not so popular, and its price is still cheap. Everyone can afford it.

I've known about it since 2016 about 3 years ago. It's been good and interesting so far. I've learned on how to buy and sell btc, been part of trading and doing some signature campaigns and postings until now. I also have some quite bad experiences like when I missed out an email informing me that the trading I was into has already closed and I need to withdraw the fund before the said due date. Unfortunately, I haven't did it since I read the email after the due date already. Another was when I get into a sig campaign and work for it in three months but I was not paid. I'm quite disappointed about it. But I still buy and sell btc every now and then to cope up everything. It's risky but interesting.

[Kambal2000]

It's really happy to see those testimonials from people that had change their life because of cryptocurrency, its really a grest pleasure to be part of this journey.

Since I begun here, I also have that much money because I see to it that all I have experience will be experience by my siblings too, so I am helping them with their allowances and other needs in school.

So I was scrolling on the internet and it happens that I saw something related to bitcoin. At first I didn't care at all but after some time, I guess months? I saw something again and I got curious then remembered that a friend of mine mentioned bitcoin before so I asked him and then that's the start. To make the story short, I become more interested and never expect I'll be staying here for years now.
Regrets? Yes I do. I regret losing some btc because of carelessness but since I've learnt from it, I'm becoming more careful.

I found out about Bitcoin in 2012, but I made a decision to invest until 2017, because I focused on other issues, but then I decided to concentrate 100% on the activities related to cryptocurrencies, because I am sure that this is the Money from the future and also from the present, if at the time I had heard of Bitcoin I had made the decision to invest, today I would have a fortune, however, the opportunities remain open.

[Palider]

I didn't know Bitcoin before, I just found out about it with a friend of mine who also uses bitcoin. It made me curious to know this because I didn't have a job back then. So I started bitcoin by claiming faucet sites, invesments and more. Probably the best experience I've had here was the first time I received bitcoin in my wallet. (0.0001 BTC) worth 0.10 $. That's why I was so happy.

The most frustrating thing that has happened to me here is that I would have earned 10 BTC in trading. But because I was scared then I sold my token right away thinking the price would drop right away.

Curiosity really drives us to where we are right now.

That is also the same experience I have, after knowing bitcoin from a friend thru social media, I started to do research and ask him directly about it. I tried everything, investing, trading and even gambling just to earn.
My curiosity opens a new path and gives me an opportunity to learn and earn at the same time.

[bitzizzix]

I got to know bitcoin in 2015 from some of my friends, at that time they tried to introduce and explain about bitcoin but I didn't respond well even I didn't care and that was my stupidity.
and from time to time for a year and a half I saw the lives of some of my friends financially changed and had far better facilities than before, and finally in early 2017 I began to be interested and listen to them when explaining in detail about bitcoin and finally I joined and until now, and I really enjoyed it and it was very fun because my life was better than before and I also enjoyed good profits when that time bitcoin reached the highest price at the end of 2017.

Thank you friends and bitcoin 

[romero121]

My first experience happened through my friend, he gave introduction about bitcoin. Later he created a wallet for me on blockchain.info which is the domain name earlier. He transacted a small fraction of bitcoin and this got received in my wallet. Further explained about the possibilities of usage. After all this after few days explained how to cash out and he received the cash on his bank account on selling bitcoin. This made me interested towards it. I too have regrets, because those days when I learned about bitcoin the price was not more than $500.

I have known Bitcoin because of some altcoin advertisment that lead me to this forum.  At first I participated in altcoin giveaway, got a short break and came back on 2016 and stays until now.  It was a lot of learning and earning experience especially during those cryptocurrency peak season of 2017.    I am able to earn profits that enable the change in my life.  From nothing to something, that is what Bitcoin let me experience.
