Share Your Experiences

[logfiles]

I will start with the worst experience;
Not getting curious to know more about Bitcoin and this forum in 2015 when i first heard about it from a friend. Ignored it until late 2017. Had i joined in 2015, i think i would be doing much better than i am right now Knowledge wise, experience wise and financially.

Best Experience:
I discovered a new way of making my purchases and transactions through BTC without exorbitant fees and taxes from institutional service providers and bodies
Getting to know about BTC also helped learn how to make money through trading

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.

My first interaction with bitcoin was 5 years back when one of close friend was trading and working on it and he told me about this digital currency and i was curious to know more about it and went for detail study.Slowly i stared working on different crypto related sites and then finally became a member on this forum which was best thing.Now i am crypto enthusiast and working on it and earning profits with its usage.And now we are celebrating 10th anniversery of the bitcointalk and wish you all the best for future.

Knew Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general in 2013 when the price was not even exceed $100 for each Bitcoin. At that day I had a thought that this Bitcoin was just like other shitass scheme because I found it on faucet where you do simple stuff to earn Bitcoin and I thought that was a silly idea at first and decided to leave.

But in 2016 I came back and Bitcoin's price at that day was really incredible, I remember it was $800 in mid 2016 and I felt regret to not spent my time doing research at that day which I feel that is not a big deal because at that day I didn't even know how to search things properly lol.

The only regret most likely was that I did not buy bitcoin before!It was probably because I didn't have enough faith in him.But I realized the mistakes and now in every possible way I accumulate bitcoin and wait for the flight to the moon!

I was  first known bitcoin way back 2016 when most of those ponzi and hyip was really hyping and bitcoin was the main form of participating.
Though I was victimized from one of those business but it was the beginning of seeking for real ways of investing.

Buying and holding till the bull run happened, it was a good success benefiting a decent amount of profits.

[darkangel11]

My only regret is that I did not invest everything from the start.

When I heard about it I first wanted to mine then I tried cloud mining completely forgetting that I could just buy and hold. I thought it's like with traditional investments. That everything goes slow and you have to put in work to make money. You have to risk it by mining trading gambling or get a job paid in bitcoin to profit. I was wrong of course but it took me 2 year to realise that. In those 2 years I could have accumulated over 100 BTC because I had the money to buy as much in 2015.

I never regret actually coming into this space, but yeah I do regret all the mistakes I made, but now that over the last four years I made every mistake you could think of, it's time to put things right and get ready for the next BITCOIN BULL RUN and big nice mass adoption schecule. I knew of Bitcoinb ack in 2010 lol and was clicking faucets to get free bitcoin. At that time within 2 months I had clicked 0.17 BTC, wish I had just out in a few hundred bucks and bought a few hundred lol then all my problems woould be over. We live and learn I guess and there IS still some room to grow. I starting again from scratch and slowly accumulating some BTC AGAIN, OFCOURSE TO GET TO 0.17 BTC NOW THER EIS A LOT MORE WORK INVOLVED.

In my experience I always see bitcoin online on the internet and also in the news but I have no idea what it is. At first, my classmates tell me that they were earning a good profit in bitcoin but I don't believe that they earn more than a man with a job so I thought it was just a scam and probably they will get scam in the end. But I was wrong I started in forums and then learn about bitcoin and then I join the signature campaign to earn a profit as my friend do. With that, I started earning a good amount of money and invested it in bitcoin. Gaining knowledge in bitcoin was great I also making money in my investment and trading with bitcoin.

If you look at the overall profit in the market i made a good profit in the past few years and i had my losses too in the altcoin market, i was late in the market than most of the users and i started with faucets to understand the basic fundamentals on how to move the coins and then moved on to exchanges to purchase the coins and that is how my journey started.

Bitcoin is a digital currency which is used across the nation, like wise other alt-coin like Ethereum Litecoin EOS etc, base on there current price of cryptocurrency for a past one year now, the price has been fluctuating and is the best time to buy the the rate of $9000 per 1BTC which is more profitable in a future time, by taking the step to buy is going to a best experience to share in future.

[puertorikosena]

Personally, I started using bitcoin long before I found out what it is and how it all works. I thought it was just another electronic currency. But what it really is, I learned already when the bitcoin exchange rate began to break price records and I was interested in it and I found out what blockchain is.

I was in the depression period when I found out crypto, I don't have much money way back 3 years ago, but I was always interested to earn extra income thru online, when my friend told me to invest and register on his part time I got interested, as the payment is only $10 and I can be able to earn $10 everyday for doing captcha, so I bought and put up internet and computer too and then turned out to be scam. I just borrow the money that I bought computer, so I was stressed thinking how will I really it until we met the real friend who introduced me here. And now, I even have my own computer shop.

It was 3 years back when i came to know about bitcoin from social media when it was becoming famous and then i started working on faucets to earn crypto coins but was not so lucky to save good amount in btc which is why i regret that i entered the market late.But still i join this forum and now i am part of digital revolution that will change the payment method online.

Faucets helped back in the day to get familiar with Bitcoin, I remember there was some thread in 2011 where it used to give 5 BTC for free.

Many of us get the first Bitcoin from Faucet, I also really like looking for BTC from Faucet, if I'm not mistaken
until now there is still a Faucet site that pays his members, like the FreeBitcoin site that still pays for BTC hunters there.

I'm not sure anyone can remember exact situation and how they came to prepare currencies like you said faucet might be one of the most common answer when you ask this question.
Then trading, signature campaigns, bitcointalk and many more options are there to show the people where they coming from.

Unfortunately according to the current financial economic status even if you are qualified to work , you just can not expect them to pay you what you deserve in a developing country .
I stumbled across Bitcoins when I wanted to make some money and it was pretty much it , it doesn't may you that much considering the amount you generally invest and about the UPS and downs but it have helped me work from home and actually make some money for myself .
At best you can take care of your daily expenses .
My side have been amazing and am so proud of working at a place where the income is being generated with the help of Bitcoins , not a governmental body .

I was told about it buy a friend who happened to be making fun of me and Bitcoin. Since I was working at home at that time doing some translations and selling stuff online, I told him that my computer is my job and he started laughing, told me that I must be mining Bitcoin and don't want to tell him. Mining Bitcoin, that sounded interesting in 2014...

My biggest regret is not treating it with respect. I thought Bitcoin was a way to make real money, but it was real money. If only I knew...

I have a very big regret about bitcoin, and that big regret is that I did not join the bitcoin community when I had the chance to do so, and that was back then in 2010, back then in 2010, I got to know about bitcoin on my own while trying to look for some of the internet jobs that I could do and some of these Ponzi investment, and I can across lots of them which included bitcoin, and because I classified it as Ponzi, it was not among my choice of Ponzi project because I didn’t understand it, and this is why it is very important that we be a researcher, we have to be able to read and understand things very well, if I had taken time to read about the project concept them, I would have understood everything about the project more than I even do now, but since I got to know about bitcoin anyway, it has really been a very good experience for me with no regrets.

[dimox]

2015 Was the first year I got to know bitcoin and at that time the price was still very cheap around 300-400 $ I was not very interested because there were still other online jobs. but because of the encouragement of my friend who was earlier looking for bitcoin with a faucet I was very interested to follow it. he provided basic education to me at the time until finally I focused on collecting bitcoin. 1 Month at that time I was able to get 0.2 Bitcoin from various bitcoin sites. after that I try to be more serious by trying to find a bitcoin forum to get to know more. to meet Bitcointalk. and everything starts from here. I know how to trade. Following the Bounty to get the maximum profit

Just a little regret with bitcoin too because i never took it seriously when i first heard about it. I thought it was just a scam just like others. But when my friend showed me what he had got with bitcoin, i can't help but be amazed how potential bitcoin is. Now i am starting earning bitcoins too and hoping that it will give me huge profits in the future same with my friend's experience with bitcoin.
