What has bitcoin done for you?

[TimtheYoutuber]

I will share my brief Bitcoin experience on my twitter: https://twitter.com/timmy_forrest/status/1223643586362822662

I am so grateful for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community in general because it has shaped the way that I have developed financial skills. I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, and so I got a lot of my foundational skills around Bitcoin and the crypto market.


I've been to cryptocurrency events and was actually surprised at how kind and thoughtful people were.


I love the Bitcoin community and consider you guys/girls family! <3

Nice to see bitcoin has been friendly for you. I have been involved in this environment since 2014 and i have the same feeling as you. Is a great community and a great ambient. All the people around bitcoin like to talk about business and negotiate.

So, let's grow this community  

[kryptqnick]

When I was young and in desperate need of money, Bitcoin showed me the way of earning some of it. Back then it was a weird coin that does not exist in real life but can be exchanged for those that do. As time passed, I became more interested in the ideology behind it, Bitcoin perspectives in the world in the future, cryptocurrencies and Blockchain potential. I am now a Bitcoin believer. I really think that it's not just something that can be profitable or something with appealing ideology; I think it will show its power and get more appreciated within our lifetime. Bitcoin educated, fed and interested me, and for this, I am very grateful.

[tabas]

It has forced me to become a trader which I'm not really like that from the start. It did happen in a surprise but it's okay because it's something that I wanted to be before and though, I'm not really an expert, at least, I've learned something.
And while reading the TAs from the experts in this community, it encourages me to even HODL and trade.

[fiulpro]

Besides providing an alternative to the stock market system , Bitcoins have also provided a market for business opportunities also at the same time the government actually is unable to provide jobs for the people and I think the campaigns and the trading are doing their jobs.
For me bitcoins have helped me have a look at the business opportunities that are not just traditional.
Also you can earn a descent amount from the campaigns if you really work hard .

[joeperry]

Beside for being a mode of payment in doing tasks online, well not just bitcoin but other coin as well (Altcoins) gave me a knowledge to technologies and how you could use technologies to our daily lives such as financing, security, trading, investment, etc. Cryptocurrency was way far from my field and usually most of my field workers are not into something like this because it's too complicated.

I think knowledge was the biggest thing that the cryptocurrency has done for me.

[Coinraptor]

Bitcoin means a lot to me! Through the crypto world now I feel more confident guy than before. I keep learning the crypto things, spend almost whole day in forums and other crypto places and I am earning good enough! Now I can lead my life and I help the needy people by earning through Bitcoin!

Although this has been said many times before, I always feel not confident about this phenomenon. When people got here since the time when there are many comfortable ways of making money in the crypto market (mining had a great profit return, ICO's wasn't full of scam), there is a big motivation to stay in the cryptocurrency field.

But now, newcomers can't have that motivation. They need to have deep knowledge in this field before they have a chance to earn some decent money here. And learning without big motivation is really boring and difficult.

Bitcoin has helped me in my finances in comfortable and decent ways. But I don't think this will still apply to newcomers. It will take way more effort to make bitcoin get more appreciated and more adoption.

-snip- I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, -snip-

You learned it when you were a kid? So, how old are you now? I guess you are still a teenager now. And it is very interesting to know that a teenager can get extra income from the Bitcoin business.

Regarding me, trading and investing in Bitcoin have become the routine side jobs in my life. I can get enough extra income from these jobs. Even, sometimes the income from trading and investing in Bitcoin can be higher than my real-life job.     

[gundala]

Cryptocurrency does provide many opportunities to increase revenue. As a freelancer, I really feel this change, the opportunity to get work and money is getting bigger, of course, it takes effort, hard work, and patience. I can get funds to get married, make my parents and siblings happy, realize some dreams, I can get with cryptocurrency, which previously seemed impossible for me to achieve that quickly if I was still a regular employee.
So I am also very grateful for this evolution, although now in difficult times, I am sure there will be another time in the ease of taking a profit.

[Zemomtum]

Bitcoin has thought me how to be financially independent and gives power back to the people. The most awesome part of it is that you can be anonymous in your transaction if you wish and this community is the best source for reliable information about digital assets

[Oceat]

Bitcoin has been done a lot of good stuff to me ever since I started to join in to this community. People keep sharing thoughts and information that is helpful to the newbies who is struggling to find out more about on how/where to start. Although it just need some time of reading but in the end it's quite useful for us because the information is already on the internet and all you have to do is to "open your mout(lol)" and feed yourself with these information.

[w0lf0.]

The bitcoin and the whole crypto world immediately fascinated me, I've been subscribed to this fantastic forum for many years now and i must say that it has helped me a lot, valuable information and sharing experiences in the crypto world. I have read in these years many stories of people who have changed their lives thanks to this new phenomenon and i'm very happy about this, i hope that in the future cryptos can have a greater expansion and that i can take some positive things from this too 

[Question123]

It is nice because you learned bitcoin when you are just a kid and I think now you are teenager right?
Im very thankful because bitcoin have a lot of benefits to me because of this I earn money and I can fullfill my  tuition fee in school and buying my needs and including ny wants. Bitcoin change my life in a nice way and hope all of us that also happen but also because of the bitcoin other lives destroyed because they lost more money.

[Kemarit]

Of course, I don't think that you can hear someone from this community regretting their decision on involving themselves in crypto or Bitcoin. Specially those guys who have been here long in the market, 2017 was like one of our best years, as the price really peaked at this all time high.

So obviously, people bought things around, latest model of smart phones, even new cars. I myself enjoy the financial freedom, have extra money to gamble as well. Thanks to bitcoin, but we have to think for the long term though. People need to save because the market is very volatile and unstable. Just like what we witnessed in 2018-2019, but then again it looks like 2020-2021 will be different so this time make the best out of it.

[davis196]

The question "what has bitcoin done for you?" seems wrong for me.Bitcoin is just a tool,I consider bitcoin to be an opportunity that we can take advantage of(if we put enough effort and time into learning and earning).Most of my online income ever since 2016 came in the form of BTC,so I can say that,in one way or another,bitcoin saved my life and helped me escape poverty.

[Reid]

Happy to see that someone is enjoying it.
Not just because of profits into stacking more bitcoin but also thru its usage.

Not everyone have the same experience as you did but there are still hopes they can find their way somehow in the future.
I never really imagined I would go this deep into knowing more about something people would not understand at all or would not even care.
Now look at us, yes we are a big community and still growing.

[plvbob0070]

I learned the Bitcoin when I was 18 years old and so far, because of bitcoin and this forum I learned many things about the blockchain technologies and even the things about cryptocurrency. The good things that bitcoin brings to me are knowledge and profit. Until now, I keep on learning more new things about bitcoin and I'm currently earning some bitcoin through a signature campaign. Then, I learned how I can separate my money in the good things especially in the investments and it totally helps me in my finances because now I can manage to earn extra money even when I'm at home. I still keep on moving forward until I succeed in my goal in cryptocurrency and until I've become a good trader and I know this forum will help me to reach my goal.

It has forced me to become a trader which I'm not really like that from the start. It did happen in a surprise but it's okay because it's something that I wanted to be before and though, I'm not really an expert, at least, I've learned something.
And while reading the TAs from the experts in this community, it encourages me to even HODL and trade.

Actually, trading is one of the things that I really want to learn since I found out that it can help you to earn a good profit. I'm so jealous of the people who are great at doing TAs. Same with you, I'm still a newbie in this field but this is the track that I really want and besides, being a good trader might sustain my daily needs. By just seeking on Trading Section I already learn some knowledge about trading and I'm glad that many members here are experts on doing TAs that's why I inspire to study more.

[Insanerman]

I cannot agree more to the previous posts and it is indeed bitcoin has become part of our daily lives. Reading and writing in this community has become part of my daily routine until I become addicted to it due to the vast ideas and knowledge you can get from other people. It also comes to a point that I feel incomplete whenever I did not see or open my account for a day.  

As of now, bitcoin saves me from the rock bottom of my life. Earning a fraction of BTC helps me to finance my tertiary education reducing the amount of tuition fees payed by my parents in the University.

Crypto also helps me to consider what major should I take in college.  And as I see it, bitcoin is just the first application to be implemented in blockchain and I think there will be more opportunities to come. Secondly, I became curious of what is the technical background or backend of this technology leading me to read and watch Aantonov books and videos.

Becoming hungry in knowledge about crypto is addictive and I am liking it.

[White Christmas]

Bitcoin has done so many help for me especially it helps my financial skills to grow and my kind of thinking to be more broad In terms of financial aspects and it is very awesome to improve such kind of skills. I have also notice that the crypto community was a great community in which the people here ar helping each other to have a good and successful community they are helping each other to be more practical in terms of financial aspect and that is one of the reason why I love this.
Let us support and help grow this community so that many people will notice us.

Maybe he just exaggerated in that aspect wherein he pointed out the time he learned about Bitcoin. Going back to Bitcoin's profitability, it is a good source of income but it cannit be the main source of income to MOST of the people. There are people who primarily get their income in crypto but since there are changes with regards to the market value movement, it is only good as a sidejob and not a primary job, in my opinion. I do also earn profit from campaigns and sometimes, trading.

[domcrypto028]

bitcoin revolutionize the currency system fast transaction and transparent too a lot of potential   

[bitbunnny]

Well, I'm involved with Bitcoin for about seven years know. Through that time I've learned a lot and gained a lot of experience.
But what I liked to point out it's that Bitcoin helped me in tough financial times when I had no other options. Bitcoin was my opportunity to overcome my financial problems to start again so I have a real example how Bitcoin can help to change the life for better.

[LogitechMouse]

I will enumerate what Bitcoin has done for me.

• Because of Bitcoin, I have bought my own smartphone.
• Because of Bitcoin, I have bought my own computer
• Because of Bitcoin, I can give some money to my family
• Because of Bitcoin, I can earn more money and invest more into different investments.
• Because of Bitcoin, I learned different things regarding crypto and technology in general
• Because of Bitcoin, I have another source of income aside from my real life job

To be honest, I'm grateful with Bitcoin in crypto in general because of the opportunities that has been given not only to me but for us users here. Lets be honest, some of us here are earning money here (thru Bitcoin conversion) and there is nothing wrong there as long as you are not violating and still contributing .

Thanks to Bitcoin, to the forum and to all

[Baby Dragon]

As a matter of fact, bitcoin changed my life better not just because it helped me purchase the things that I need and I want but because it makes me understood everything about myself. Much the same as any of you, I questioned it's capabilities at first since I don't have knowledge or even a thought that the world isn't just revolving around fiat, that a digital currency existed and it is the reason why i'm afraid to take accept the opportunity. Then, I realized that I should open myself for new learning and opportunity because it is the only way to improve my life so I gave it a shot and now I don't regret anything because bitcoin helped me provide the needs of my family and learn different life lessons.

[NavI_027]

What has bitcoin done to me? It was soo huge and it will definitely take long if I will explain it in detail . But to cut the long story short, through bitcoin I able to finance my own thesis, help me to to finish my college; and at this moment it helps me to pay my tuition in the review center I enrolled in and sustain my daily needs while living here in the city as well.

Without bitcoin, I think I'll be just a minimum wage earner for my whole life or could be even worse than that .

[Rosilito]

Bitcoin really help me stand on my own. Not to beg to my parents to spare me some cash whenever I have to go out with my friends or whenever I have to buy something I really want but I don't necessarily need, anymore. Bitcoin really help me in those factors, but this forum molds me to a different person than I was. I came to bother myself to study, get familiar with things around here, and learn from different discussions with here; what was behind with bitcoin's price, essence and so on. I am still amazed with this, and still looking forward to opportunities I could get here, not only financially but more particular skills, and knowledge with this great technology, bitcoin and blockhain as well.

[bering]

The hashtag for bitcoin and cryptocurrency on those tweet should be deserve more than 1 liked because bitcoin and related to it very popular currently and if we talking about what bitcoin has been done for me i think it's plenty especially from financial side that although we're facing long bearish but bitcoin still help me to get money

[jhonjhon]

Bitcoin has done a lot for me most especially financially. When I first came across bitcoin it was hard because I mined it using online mining site and it takes a lot of time and energy just for me to mine a good number of coins and as the days, months passed it is getting harder to mine and started to lose time in mining which forced me to stop but i'm thankful I bump to someone who introduce me to this forum or community and that's when I started again and this time learned trading through the forum and it helped me a lot.

[layoutph]

Bitcoin is indeed a heaven sent to my family. I just build my house thru my Bitcoin and Altcoin investments. I am proud to say, I am one of a blessed people who sold the majority of my crypto investments before the huge bear market.
I bought a house, computer gadgets.. etc. Now that crypto is still in bull accumulation period.. I am busy with my freelancing job. I am also accepting crypto in my freelance services.

[tabas]

It has forced me to become a trader which I'm not really like that from the start. It did happen in a surprise but it's okay because it's something that I wanted to be before and though, I'm not really an expert, at least, I've learned something.

You might start following some traders on speculations and read their thoughts and TA base on the market sentiment. Though you may not understand it quickly but as time passes by, you will have an idea how it works when you're the one that actually trades. It's sort of difficult from the start but when you have gained much experience then you will lose that jealous feeling. IMO, I don't have to be an expert as long as I understand what I do.

[Capt00]

Despite the losses that I may get previously when I started investing Bitcoin late 2017 when the market is in the bullish but still, it gives a lot for me. And I don't condemn such thing (losses) because it is accepted by then and to the fact that I am overly thinking that Bitcoin will soar high more than $20k. These things that I've to learn in crypto it helps me to become strong, to be rightful in all decisions that I've made. And one thing that I got from Bitcoin is that you can't just think Bitcoin will give you an easy money/returns but instead, it comes to you when you hardly work on it and stay positive.

<snip...>

As someone who is part of a family of 5 with only a single dad raising us trying to meet ends every week and as a student who is at post-graduate studies, learning about bitcoin and being able to have the opportunity of earning extra income weekly definitely helps me in my situation.

Most of the expenses are prioritized towards my younger siblings. I mainly use my spare bitcoins in order to purchase books and essentials for my studies. Not only do I have this opportunity but I also consider that I am part of the next generation when we shift to a digitalized system of payments.

The question "what has bitcoin done for you?" seems wrong for me.Bitcoin is just a tool,I consider bitcoin to be an opportunity that we can take advantage of(if we put enough effort and time into learning and earning).Most of my online income ever since 2016 came in the form of BTC,so I can say that,in one way or another,bitcoin saved my life and helped me escape poverty.

I am glad to hear your situation and the effects of introducing bitcoin in your life. What we earn weekly is just a fraction of what we really get from learning bitcoin. As a someone who is part of the community who knows the advantages of cryptocurrencies and its effect in the future, that reason alone is suffice that cryptocurrencies can be the next generation in the system of payments.

[nennanem]

Bitcoin has shown me that freedom is possible in our world. The very idea of bitcoin gave hope for a bright future for many people. And I'm sincerely glad that I'm on the verge of introducing Bitcoin into our lives.

[Debonaire217]

Aside from financial aspect of life, such as money, income or profits, I've learned some basic principles and values we should have such as respect and perseverance, becoming patient and sticking to your decision is one of the things I highly consider applying to my daily living. Most of the time, I struggle with choices, but with trading, it thought me that no matter what happen, always search for what is reasonable using statistics and tools, and applying that to my daily decision making me more logical and reasonable.

In addition, respect is what I've learned because without bitcoin, I am not here on our forum, not sharing knowledge and not learning from other people as well as to put respect to every interactions I made for people I didn't know. Because becoming respectful to others while being anonymous is harder than respecting person that you really know.

Allot of learning could be shared, if and only if, we became serious about bitcoin in daily living.

[xSkylarx]

It taught me many things about real life. Because bitcoin is a form of currency, during my college days I learned that it is really not easy to earn money. I learned how to value it and spend it wisely.
It also helped me to earn some extra money during those days when I'm trading.

[slaman29]

Maybe he just exaggerated in that aspect wherein he pointed out the time he learned about Bitcoin. Going back to Bitcoin's profitability, it is a good source of income but it cannit be the main source of income to MOST of the people. There are people who primarily get their income in crypto but since there are changes with regards to the market value movement, it is only good as a sidejob and not a primary job, in my opinion. I do also earn profit from campaigns and sometimes, trading.

Or maybe TimTheYoutuber is still a kid? If he learnt about it five years ago and he was a kid, he's at oldest 21 now, which is still a kid in most places I know;)

But joking aside, I think we should always look at bitcoin as something useful for sure but never about money and profitability (even though that will come with price going up slowly). I think people who think about profit first tend to lose their btc.

[Golftech]

Good for you valuing what bitcoin helps you it's really a blessing to those people who able to catch up especially those who manage to enter this industry
before 2017 big bull run, People who really  appreciates the big help in terms of financial liberties.  Working with bitcoins gives many people to enjoy
the luxuries of working online either by doing task or investing and trading.

[BuNga_cute]

Many things that bitcoin has done for my life, one of which I can fulfill the needs of my life because of the profit that I have from bitcoin.
And also bitcoin has give me family in crypto, one of them is the members of this forum. I already consider it a family. Because interacting
in this forum opens my mind about many things, especially the best way how make money. Many of these senior members give advice on
how to make profits on bitcoin, it feels wonderful to live life like this.

[andulolika]

Question is, what can it do for the world?  Besides what it done already 

[bearexin]

Bitcoin is good and it has really been helpful for me. I was able to create a source of income through Bitcoin and it has helped me to make some money and also start up a side business which I believe would grow bigger as time goes on☺️, and of course, depending on how much effort I put into it.

If I never got into Bitcoin when I did, around 2015, I might not have been able to accomplish as much as I have done. Even after I lost my dad I was able to carry on with the family, though it was not easy, but imagine I didn’t get these opportunities how it would have been by now lol.

It is amazing to read and hear how bitcoin has changed your life. Most people I would imagine have had financial gains from bitcoin, but it is also amazing how people have started their coding careers in blockchain etc

[TitanGEL]

I learned how I will use money to work for me because of bitcoin. Middle class and poor persons are usually working for money but I learned to use money to work for me and it is by investing. I became part of this community 4 years ago and I saw the bull run 2017 where I also take profit. I already have asset generating incone where even if I do not work I still receiving passive income. I'm sure that many people like me are also changed their mindset and lives when they encountered the bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the reason I left my 9 - 5 job and became a freelancer, as I was earning more money via bitcoins and less from my regular job. Furthermore I even fulfilled my dream of buying gadgets like IPhone, Fitbit and even gave many gifts to my family members so overall I’m very happy with bitcoins as they changed my life forever.

[Searing]

I have learnt a various thing from Bitcoin, It makes me a successful trader, helps to grow my speculation skill and patience.
It makes an extra opportunity for me for passive income source. 

Made me a euphoric HODL'er and a despondent HODL'er depending on particular month/day/year since October 18th, 2013!

(ah the drama!)

[rodskee]

Bitcoin Gives me a chance to at least make a good life(together with my real Job) when 2017 hype happens?that is also the time my life is getting miserable because of some events that i did not intend to happen.
i am so grateful in Bitcoin because i have gamble my last money investing here and God is so Good because in December?my money made more than double and i made a fresh start in Life.

[julius caesar]

I really need to earn money before. My friend introduces me the bitcoin and give me some task to be able to earn from it. He lend me his account and do the task there and I started to earn bitcoin from it. Bitcoin really help me in terms of my financial needs and as of now I am able to sustain my daily needs like transportation fee.

[AniviaBtc]

-snip- I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, -snip-

You learned it when you were a kid? So, how old are you now? I guess you are still a teenager now. And it is very interesting to know that a teenager can get extra income from the Bitcoin business.

I do also earn profit from campaigns and sometimes, trading.

It means that it is still a priority, if you really love what you're doing no matter what it is. As well as you enjoy and earn money, continue doing that. As you don't harm any other people, continue your passion. Bitcoin really taught me something deeper than my understanding. I realized that it is very important to have prior knowledge and experience in financial management. I have a dream for my parents, I want to give back on what they gave me to be here in my position. I also realized that the phrase "money can't buy us happiness" wasn't applicable in life. When you become an adult in this generation, you will understand that in order to become happy, you need to have money to enjoy life. That's what bitcoin taught me to become a grown man.

[maydna]

I am sure bitcoin has done many things for us, especially for giving a new way for us to make money. We now have a new source of income to make money, and many people get helped from bitcoin, and they can slowly change their life to a better life. We see that many people have the opportunity to earn more and more money from bitcoin and perhaps, they can get unlimited income from bitcoin.

My life has changed too, and now, I can try to make more money from trading that is one of the ways that bitcoin gave to me to make money. I am sure that many people can make money too from trading, and trading is invited them to get the cash by make a profit in bitcoin. They can convert the bitcoin to their local fiat, so that means, they can have the money in their bank account.

[MWesterweele]

Let us support and help grow this community so that many people will notice us.

Bitcoin teaches us and help us in many ways, some of us got wealthy or got their financial status stable or they are now eating 4x a day because they have money to buy, some of us have their school fees paid because of their night job like cryptocurrency  bounty hunting, translating files, trading and so on. And many of us, learn now how to trade using crypto, that we are not being worried about that we could be regulated by government and they will put taxes on us because in here, we can transact without getting regulated and traceable by them.

[lienfaye]

I engaged myself in crypto few years ago, that time im searching for an opportunity online wherein I can earn even in the comfort of our home. I started joining in investment and failed, its my first time to experience scamming by greedy people. I am naive and careless because I thought everything they offer were true.

Thats the time I came to know bitcoin, timing that im looking for a legit way to earn. I invested small amount and gain from it, thats the start of my journey in using bitcoin. The other side of it is the convenience when im using btc to pay my bills through our local wallet app.

[Farma]

increasing business skills, that's the most important thing that bitcoin brings to me. other than that, I feel that when I know bitcoin, I think it continues to do business. although there are so many scammers in it, it teaches us to continue to be careful in doing business and even investing. besides that, bitcoin is also a place where I collect initial capital.

many like you, by knowing bitcoin and various other cryptocurrency they can get a lot of money and can be used for capital trading, investment or business. But when you depend on bitcoin then it will make you difficult, make bitcoin as an alternative payment to be able to get a lot of profit and your economy do not depend on bitcoin because bitcoin does not provide guarantees for you.

Bitcoin has done a lot of things to me especially the knowledge in business and laso the knowledge on investing something in order for you to earn money. Through the help of bitcoin I finally able to manage my money on where should I put it or wherr should I invest it, although investing to cryptocurrency just a small amount of money, after the time it will be also pump up ir you will earn huge because of the volatility of it. Through the use of bitcoin I will be also done a lot of transaction or payment matters because through the used of it I'm gonna buy and makes transaction with the used of bitcoin.

[abel1337]

There are many experiences happened to me just by using bitcoin, It engages me to learn things about cryptocurrency learning many things in order for me to get profit from my stakes like doing trades playing gambling and investing on some platforms make it real by just having the eagerness on getting a profit by using bitcoin.

As time passes, Using crypto drove me into many websites including this, This forum greatly helps me to know about the latest news and gain more knowledge about using crypto, It also makes me more efficient in using the English language which is not my primary language.

I also got many friends and entered into different groups which are also driven by blockchain technology, I learned many things from the experiences and it gave me a chance to learn to program also!

Using bitcoin change me in real life in a positive way, It taught me to be a patient person and my environment in my real life also changes because of the traits I got on using bitcoin.

~snip~

What a great success he has had, I am glad that this world has opened doors for him, many still do not believe in Bitcoin or Crypto, now they are slowly beginning to adopt, they cannot go against the flow.

It is a good experience, without a doubt this community is very large, there is everything, technology continues to advance, the market that generates Bitcoin is very large, both for speculators and for investors, much has been achieved in more than 10 years and what remains to be achieved.

[Reatim]

well Bitcoin gives me part of financial freedom,financial skills and financial help as well,way back i am only working in a office with minimum wage and accumulating only enough to feed my family but now?i can say that aside from my holdings i can give my family some precious moment with my extra income here.there were times that i once gamble and Win good money and i bring them to a out of town trip and really my family enjoys it.
Crypto and Bitcoin will make me rich that is one thing i am sure now.

[beerlover]

I have been able to achieve a lot of things by using Bitcoin. When I started Bitcoin in 2013 there is a huge difference compared to now, I wasn’t even expecting it to have gone this far, it really surprised me with how far it has been able to go.

I discovered Bitcoin as a freelancer. I was working on a project and the contractor asked me whether I accept Bitcoin, before then I have came across it because I have done other online jobs like Paid to Clicks and some of them mentioned Bitcoin as one of their payment method but I never used it till then. Fast-forward to when the contractor asked me about it, I told him that I accept Bitcoin. And he told me to get address when I’m ready, I rushed and did some research on it and got the best wallet as recommended then which is Coinbase. That’s how I got into Bitcoin.

Bitcoin feed me and helped me to lead a normal life like most other people in my city. Before adopting bitcoins, I was in debit but now I have some savings in bitcoins. I guess the improvements in my financial status could not become possible if I would have ignored to accept/adopt bitcoins.

[airdnasxela]

Well it gives me the privilege to be more knowledgeable when it comes to technological advancement compared to other people at my age who doesn't have any idea about blockchain and cryptocurrency. Bitcoin helped me to be aware of certain things like this and any other related things. Aside from that, I learned to be versatile and earn money even at young age. I can already provide myself what I want and that makes me proud of it. I don't have to totally depend on my parents about everything because I can also help them with the expenses. And I know this knowledge I have can help me in the future when I started working on the real world

[MarioV]

It is a fundamental question!
By studying bitcoin I think I have revealed how scams are going on in the real world at all levels: scams that are well marshalled through regime propaganda through school, politics and religion and that are repeated by people around us, like parrots.
Ultimately, I learned a lot more about what it really takes in these two years than in 5 years of high school.

There is a huge number of unemployed individuals all around the globe who are yet finding some source of earning for their living. It is hard to trust but also some individuals with their own family are struggling to find a job and are left with a unstable financial life. This could be changed forever with bitcoins.

Bitcoins always offer some or the other earning opportunity if we are ready to face the challenges and devote some hard work. Number of people needs to join with bitcoins in order to stabilize their own financial lives. They should take people like you as an example and it should motivate them to start with bitcoins. Normal regular transacting with bitcoins can make them gain immense knowledge by spending their time on the blockchain network.

[jostorres]

Bitcoins have seriously played an important role in my life at the time when I was struggling financially. Bitcoins are a medium of my stable source of income since years now. You really had a plus point which is you started using or learning more about bitcoins when you were a kid. As a kid, your grasping capacity is normally higher than a adult and kids can usually understand many more things faster than the adults can(especially related to the tech).

Bitcoins serves us with a number of opportunities and everyone who is earning their source of income with bitcoins might be considered as out native citizens residing in the same "digital" country.

[Wysi]

Bitcoin has helped me to be financially stable along through the signature campaigns starting from bitmixer signature campaign and moreover once I gained more knowledge I started participating in bounties which were fruitful as well as I have managed numerous bounty campaigns, crypto has already provided me a steady financial assistance which has helped me to improve my standard of living.

[taufik123]

-snip-  Even, sometimes the income from trading and investing in Bitcoin can be higher than my real-life job.     

Yes that is very true and also happens to the income that I get now.
Bitcoin provides twice as much income compared to my salary as a private employee today.

I have also known bitcoin starting from 2016 when ICO became my goal to follow bitcoin and over time I have been trading, investing and other things to get income from bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital coin that is not real, but the results are very real.

[hahay]

Bitcoin has become a necessity or maybe a different lifestyle for some users here, because even with the presence of bitcoin and this community many people have succeeded in improving their finances for the better. In the past many people thought that quitting their full time jobs to focus more on bitcoin was the wrong choice but what is happening right now, even many people actually quit their full time jobs just to develop the skills they have because indeed, there are many ways which can be done for those who have any creativity and knowledge that can be done with special skills then of course it will produce better profits.

[jhonjhon]

The hashtag for bitcoin and cryptocurrency on those tweet should be deserve more than 1 liked because bitcoin and related to it very popular currently and if we talking about what bitcoin has been done for me i think it's plenty especially from financial side that although we're facing long bearish but bitcoin still help me to get money

Even though bitcoin is bearish we can still get money, we just have to be smart in handling our coins regardless if it’s bearish or bullish. Bitcoin is very unpredictable whether we like it or not so we should be wise to know how to get around it and take all the possible opportunity to get money despite being bearish. Bitcoin has done a lot for me, it helped me achieve my financial goals.

[gentlemand]

Bitcoin has turned me into a grade one dosser. I was one already but now it has well and truly upped the ante to the extent that there's no going back now.

[Reatim]

actually before i entered Crypto scam is only a word for me but i have no good idea how it works online and how can we be victimized,yeah i have witnessed scams inr eal life and those have physical contact but here?noobs are always been a victim that is why i am very thankful that i had a mentor guiding me when i am newbie here so i never become a target of scammers(but there are many in telegram but all of them are being blocked right away)
Yeah Crypto is one good school for us mature people but not that literate in internet,with crypto we become knowledgeable and smarter in some ways.

Almost everyone of us have the same thing that Bitcoin has done to us. And the common thing among us is it helped us financially. Aside from this positive result, the negative one is that I have to divide my time for studying just to make time for Bitcoin. I know it's only about time management but at first I had a hard time managing it. So in result, it affected my grades badly. But now, I'm learning to manage it so it won't affect my study that much.

I feel you dude . I feel that I have no choice but to sacrifice some of my time studying for the board exam in order to deal with bitcoin, because if I will wouldn't then there's no way I can survive here in the city. It's really hard, actually sometimes I overthink that I might fail because of this stuff. I'm getting more frustrated every each day due to exhaustion not only in review but mainly about money. Well, I'm still blessed because I'm still breathing and waking up every morning, andthat's enough to cherish with . God bless us all.

[thesmallgod]

When I was young and in desperate need of money, Bitcoin showed me the way of earning some of it. Back then it was a weird coin that does not exist in real life but can be exchanged for those that do. As time passed, I became more interested in the ideology behind it, Bitcoin perspectives in the world in the future, cryptocurrencies and Blockchain potential. I am now a Bitcoin believer. I really think that it's not just something that can be profitable or something with appealing ideology; I think it will show its power and get more appreciated within our lifetime. Bitcoin educated, fed and interested me, and for this, I am very grateful.

Probably you are one of the early crypto enthusiasts, I feel happy to see people's testimony. I got to know crypto by accident. I could remember I downloaded a bitcoin desktop wallet severally but I do not understand what it is and didn't help myself by researching what it is. Maybe it was because I had much interest in other ecurrencies such as Liberty reserve and solidtrustpay then. in 2015, Clixsense, where I used to be a crowdworker, introduced bitcoin as one of the payment processors via tango card. That was how I got to know about bitcoin. I had visited bitcointalk severally, as a guest just to read study more about bitcoin, not knowing this is where bitcoin start from.

[maxreish]

You knew bitcoin since you were a kid, OP? Nice. I knew bitcoin just two years. My story with bitcoin isn't that special but bitcoin is one of the best things that made my life meaningful and adventurous. Who would have thought that I can be a part of this powerful trend, bitcoin? If you're asking what bitcoin has done for me? Countless things, it helped me to realized that there is a new technology=new hope and new opportunity.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Bitcoin had a huge impact on me, ever since I started investing in them (January 2017). In my very first year, I got almost 22x returns. I could have got even better returns with altcoins, but I stayed loyal to BTC. Apart from the financial gain, dealing in Bitcoin helped me to improve my skills in finance and trading domains. It has been 3 years now, and I am thankful to Bitcoin for all the monetary gains.

[Oasisman]

You've learned about Bitcoin when you're still a kid, okay so that's around 2009 or 2010 I assume. You must be very lucky then, Let's say you were 10 years old during the time you first heard about Bitcoin, 10 years later you turned 20, you must be very rich by now. Specially when you have filled your bag before and disposed most of it on December 2017.
I considered the people lucky when they have discovered Bitcoin on 2014 and below, because they already had enough idea how to manage their investments in crypto space.

[YOSHIE]

I will share my brief Bitcoin experience on my twitter: https://twitter.com/timmy_forrest/status/1223643586362822662

You feel the best, for you, since you know Bitcoin, it's good enough.

Likewise with me and other communities, a lot of things that have been done by Bitcoin to us, of course the best is the economic side.

I also hope you keep everything, when goodness comes to you, but now Bitcoin is a very good investment in the world and of all time.

[shoreno]

The exposure to blockchain technology is one thing I will be grateful about. Although the blockchain technology and Bitcoin are entirely different thing but without Bitcoin, I won't have known about it.
Aside that, I am glad I can become more anonymous online especially in making payments. The range of how I litter my credit card details online, has reduced compares to before.

i think we are the same . if i dont know bitcoin i wont also know if what is blockchain  . not just us but i think most of us are like this   . its like bitcoin is the eye opener for more posibilities  . though im not like you when it comes to being conscious about identity or privacy because me ? i dont care at all if what payment methods i use as long as i can send or recieve money or as long as i see that its useful and legit , i will just stick thru it right away   . not to mention that btc is also volatile  which i dont like for paying purposes  .

[BitHodler]

Bitcoin made me become interested in economics, and at the same time help me get into an asset that could very well change my life financially. It's an opportunity not present anywhere else in the traditional market space.

I see a lot of people claim that they are here for the fundamentals only, but that's utter nonsense. If there was no upside potential, people wouldn't hold Bitcoin for long periods of time because it wouldn't make sense.

This is also why bull markets are so important for the crypto space in general because people enter because they see the price go up. Afterwards people get interested in fundamentals, but the financial aspect still matters the most.

[wozzek23]

Bitcoin has turned me into a grade one dosser. I was one already but now it has well and truly upped the ante to the extent that there's no going back now.

I am sorry if I misunderstood your sentiment there but seems like you are upset with the entry of bitcoin in your life, for me a dosser is someone who is suffering for a money crisis.

I mean, please can you share why it happened such for you? I can see you make some money by wearing signature so at least bitcoin or bitcointalk community is actually helping you at least. I guess the gambling part of bitcoin might have the worst of you mate, I really wish you could share more in your post. I really wanted to know.

To me, bitcoin has only done more good than bad and I really appreciate whatever it has done so far to me.

[Sanugarid]

Bitcoin has helped me to be financially stable along through the signature campaigns starting from bitmixer signature campaign and moreover once I gained more knowledge I started participating in bounties which were fruitful as well as I have managed numerous bounty campaigns, crypto has already provided me a steady financial assistance which has helped me to improve my standard of living.

Since I've started here, there are actually lot of things that happened to my life especially in financial. Because even if I am a student I can earn my own money with my own knowledge doing the stuff I know which is also to join a particular signature campaign. We all know what bounty hunters do when they are participating, they are promoting that campaign and they will be paid as simple as that. But then as time passes by, I learned a lot of things about cryptocurrency, on how it actually works. Although I know that ever since, but the knowledge I got is becoming wider as time passes by.

Well, my story here in the world of crypto is not that special as everyone, the fact that I've barely started in the year 2017 where the hyp happened. And just like what I have said I entered at hyped market that is why I made to procure some stuff that I could never bought without help of Bitcoin. That is why I am very glad to those person who introduced me this to this industry.

This is actually the year wherein almost all of the signature campaigns are becoming successful and the market is really hitting the highest peak making every cryptocurrency pump. Bitcoin really reached its high value that year and as of now this year, we are all hoping that to happen again maybe after halving occur.

[mahfuj28]

    I think bitcoin has made it easier for me to make money transactions in my life. With bitcoin I can make transactions very easy and fast. Which can be worked in any part of the world. And the way blockchain is used for bitcoin transactions is a very secure medium. Blockchain technology has never been hacked till today. Therefore, this technology is becoming very dear to everyone on earth. Our Bangladesh government and blockchain are thinking. So it seems to me that bitcoin is a very secure medium for the modern age.

I am so grateful for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community in general because it has shaped the way that I have developed financial skills. I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, and so I got a lot of my foundational skills around Bitcoin and the crypto market.


I've been to cryptocurrency events and was actually surprised at how kind and thoughtful people were.


I love the Bitcoin community and consider you guys/girls family! <3

Well, one of the most important things bitcoin did for me was giving me hope, with all the surveillance going on we are getting close to a dystopian future in which you cannot do anything without everyone else finding out, when people look for me in the different social media sites they realize that I do not have an account there and think I am weird when to me they are the ones that are weird since they are active participants on revealing everything about themselves, but bitcoin gave us some privacy back and that is a huge development in the right direction.

[GmAdvice]

I am frankly speaking i did not know about bitcoin untill 2015, when i cam to know about Bitcoin, I started learning about bitcoin & blockchain technology, and about other crypto projects and then i have started earning bitcoin slowly by faucets, mining sites and after that around one year later i,e in 2016 I started trading of bitcoin & various crypto assests, I learned about leverage trading now game begins i have made huge profits with bitcoin leverage trading, I got a very strong financial support from bitcoin trading...

The experience you said is the most common way of the people who want to join crypto way back that time, We have the same first crypto experience though, I got caught up by curiosity and started to learn basic things on crypto and jump up into faucets where I can earn money from that, I remember that I can't really earn money as much as I'm expecting so I find other ways that are the time I got hooked up on trading. Until now I got into different things from the experience and curiosity I got from bitcoin.

Bitcoin does affects people lives in number of ways either it do enhance out your financial skills also built up some social relationship in the community.
Lots of lives been changed mostly on money making opportunity with bitcoin.Its not actually built for that purpose but this is the main thing why most
people are here trying out to monetize but overall the main reason why do it exist because of its p2p transaction/decentralization/anonymity features.
These factors are already a big impact which is indeed helpful for us.

[micbtc]

Before I started reading on the internet, I had no idea what bitcoin was. Many people were talking about investing in bitcoin that made me

curious so I started reading online. Its a digital currency and people can make transactions directly without any regulations. Unlike paper

money, from the moment i found out about what Bitcoin is i start investing in it and make some profit. i think people trust Bitcoin most, so no matter what other coins come out, they will always be behind Bitcoin.

[FlightyPouch]

Bitcoin gave me an opportunity to start again. As I am starting my job, I am not really satisfied with my salary. Then someone told me to invest in crypto currencies particularly bitcoin. I got curious and learned to trade and invest, a lot of ups and downs but still, I am here. Because of it I gave something to my partner and my family, I can also gamble without my partner knowing.

[lepbagong]

Therefore, this technology is becoming very dear to everyone on earth. Our Bangladesh government and blockchain are thinking. So it seems to me that bitcoin is a very secure medium for the modern age. 

All of this can be confirmed to strongly agree with your good opinion that bitcoin is a very safe medium to use as a transaction tool. but there are still many countries that have not fully been able to accept bitcoin as a legitimate payment tool such as Fiat. because many obstacles are certainly very crucial, such as an unstable internet network and lack of knowledge about the internet.
but with the presence of bitcoin, there is clearly a new job that is also very profitable and even greater than the salary received per month.

[bryant.coleman]

My story with Bitcoin is a bit strange. I got my first coins sometime in 2012, when the exchange rates were less than $10 per coin. But in 2013, I was able to increase the Bitcoin holdings significantly, with the help of faucets and signature campaigns (in particular the Prime Dice signature campaign, which was paying BTC2.40 per month). At one point, I had close to 70 BTC in my wallet.

I guess I got greedy then. I invested in Litecoinglobal, with around 30 BTC. Lost the entire amount when the site closed down. And then I became demoralized. Faced some financial issues in 2015 and had to sell most of my remaining coins for $250 per coin. Now my holdings are only a fraction of what I had in 2013. Anyway, no point in thinking about those days.

[chip1994]

I am very grateful and feel very lucky to know this market in 2018. Although the bubble has passed, I still feel lucky because there were quite a few people participating in the market at that time. People around me are friendly and they always help each other in sharing knowledge and help me have more jobs to make money. I remember very clearly that was the day when I was very poor when I could not afford tuition at high school, I had to do everything to make money and luckily I knew the crypto market. I also participated a lot in bounty campaigns and also made quite a lot, now I am a trader and also quite successful in the early days.

[iamsheikhadil]

I discovered Bitcoin when I was around 15 or something and truly it was something that changed my perception for life. When the old school system was bragging how people should work hard to be wealthy, or how time consuming it is to trade and make money, I was astonished how Bitcoin infront of my eyes live went 100000% up making its investors rich overnight. That was a once in a lifetime moment for anyone who could see it closely.

It regained my self confidence, well when the time I have nothing and came to this forum with the influence of some geek friends, I managed to earned a handful of BTC and sold them at the last ATH, it was all for doing bounties out here.
and later on I got married with a little help of money from Bitcoin trading and I bought a Macbook air for my wife, well it was the moment I got a coin that worths a lot. Also I have bought Gpus and tried mining for 5 months , all of those were money of doing some bounties out here. There are lots to be told and it's thanks to Bitcoin forum.

[tbterryboy]

It is a fundamental question!
By studying bitcoin I think I have revealed how scams are going on in the real world at all levels: scams that are well marshalled through regime propaganda through school, politics and religion and that are repeated by people around us, like parrots.
Ultimately, I learned a lot more about what it really takes in these two years than in 5 years of high school.

Yes for me too bitcoin made me realize how it was possible for hackers to demand ransom from clients after cracking up their system. Its not that bitcoin is at fault if it is being used for wrong purposes, I am just saying that now I am much more knowledgeable about how decentralization works.

Moreover if you ask me how bitcoin has changed my life, well it certainly has because earlier I was someone more into physical life I mean I was more involved with people around me and now I am someone who keeps learning but online and gets to learn new methods about earning. My life has changed from an idle offline person to an active online user.

[Finestream]

It gives me an opportunity to become secretly rich and also help to stay away from social media.BTC

You are not secretly rich anymore as you already revealed it here, lol...

Anyway, for me there's a lot of things I benefit from investing in bitcoin, it changes my life, before i invested I am just working with my day job for a minimum salary and I realized that is not enough to become financially free in the future so I start to explore, good thing I found bitcoin early, that was before 2017 and during the 2017 bull run, I really made a good profit out from my investment and my income online.

Thanks to BITCOIN, that's all I can say.

[Searing]

Well, I got a KNC Jupiter 550gh BTC miner on 0ctober 18th, 2013 and it made 1 BTC a day and sometime that day BTC was $150 USD.

So considering ALL equipment/electric/miners from that $5,131.80 (with shipping from Sweden) paid for my BTC Hoard. I'm pretty satisfied!

Now if I just was not so 'damn' boring and actually did something with this. (still driving this winter 2005 rusty, very rusty, Ford Taurus 150k of miles on it)

Boring. It got me a BTC hoard, but I'm still 'boring, go figure. All the 'fun' got sucked out of ASIC mining, so I just buy more and HODL now as I have

for the most part (except electric and in the day ASIC equipment) in HODL mode....folk newer than me should be scrambling to sell crap from attic and accumulate...just

in case, BTC and Crypto go 'full parabolic' again. That was the previous pattern. Just saying, sell stuff you might otherwise die with rather than bother, this whole BTC

thing will be 'really, really, embarrassing' if it goes parabolic in price again and newer folk miss another chance to accumulate BTC. Just saying.

Brad

[tbterryboy]

Bitcoins have seriously played an important role in my life at the time when I was struggling financially.

Indeed as it does for a lot of people.

For me bitcoin never helped me financially initially too much but certainly helped me in long term as I was lured into various altcoins and I will not lie that I made some handsome profit too with initial investments in alts. Now a days most of them are thrash I know but earlier it used to be very good the market as a whole.

I consider myself lucky enough to get into bitcoin early enough that I was one of the early adopters into altcoins.

Great to hear that and it is good that you have been involved in crypto coin so early, I mean you already knew about it, when you were a kid.

As for me bitcoin also have done a lot, i entered this world few years ago and made good money on it.

[butcherme]

I learn to value money back before I started investing in crypto I used to spend my money easily buy anything that I want anytime that I want.
But since I found out about Bitcoin I value my money more spend less on things that I don't really need and focus on my future.
I started to think about buying a home starting a business and other stuff in short it made me more responsible and help me grow and be matured enough.

Bitcoin has helped me to be financially stable along through the signature campaigns starting from bitmixer signature campaign and moreover once I gained more knowledge I started participating in bounties which were fruitful as well as I have managed numerous bounty campaigns, crypto has already provided me a steady financial assistance which has helped me to improve my standard of living.

Almost everyone of us have the same thing that Bitcoin has done to us. And the common thing among us is it helped us financially. Aside from this positive result, the negative one is that I have to divide my time for studying just to make time for Bitcoin. I know it's only about time management but at first I had a hard time managing it. So in result, it affected my grades badly. But now, I'm learning to manage it so it won't affect my study that much.

I don't want to blame bitcoin but actually introduction to bitcoin for me was through gambling as there was much easy games like dice and there was no restrictions whatsoever. I used to buy bitcoins and bet and I made bad enough loss overall so it hasn't affected me positively financially though it's all to blame on myself.

This has been a serious problem for a lot of friends of mine as they went from good grades to average students but personally this has never been a big issue for me though as I mentioned I always took bitcoin as a source of gambling fuel .

Such a sweet, genuine and honest answer which now a days is a rarity.

Actually signature campaign has been a fascinating feature of bitcointalk and one of the reasons why some of the best crypto people stay together here. It sounds unreal but a lot of Asian guys make a good enough amount which they might struggle to earn even if they got jobs at their place.

Bitcoin has become a necessity or maybe a different lifestyle for some users here, because even with the presence of bitcoin and this community many people have succeeded in improving their finances for the better.

That's true because its sort of an addiction that you visit the forum, read about bitcoin every once in a while and if you fail to do, you feel something is missing in life.

[xvids]

Bitcoin changed my life for good it taught me so many things it also helps me find some new friends.
It helps me financially and manage to buy the things that I always dream of.
It also taught me how to properly manage my money and how to value even the little things.

I will share my brief Bitcoin experience on my twitter: https://twitter.com/timmy_forrest/status/1223643586362822662

why need to be in twitter when you can just shared here?anyway i dont need to check your twitter but i think there are many good things Bitcoin has given you right?

I am so grateful for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community in general because it has shaped the way that I have developed financial skills. I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, and so I got a lot of my foundational skills around Bitcoin and the crypto market.

what do you mean being a Kid when you leartn bitcoin?thatw as 10 years ago?meaning you are a teenager?good that you have come to learn bitcoin that young,how i wish i am the same person as you.

I've been to cryptocurrency events and was actually surprised at how kind and thoughtful people were.


I love the Bitcoin community and consider you guys/girls family! <3

we consider you as family also mate,we are all here with one position and that is a decentralized world and a third party free currency.

[Kelvinid]

Bitcoin means a lot for me and I know that everyone who has been in crypto has amazing stories to tell.
And to tell you frankly, Even though I have a stable job but more likely I'm in more focus to crypto and even spend a lot of time than of my jobs. It was difficult at first but if we are able to reach our goal, everything could be possible. Of course, it takes time to develop and adopt the system. In fact, I'm planning to give up my carrier just for crypto and fully engage in trading if I have enough capital to start with.

[cramcram21]

To be honest I am thankful that I found out about Bitcoin.
It let me spend more time with my family since I am earning through the internet I get to enjoy my time more.
I even earn some amount of money that I have thought was impossible for me to earn.
I even learn how to trade and earn comfortably at home.
I started from faucet's,paying apps and other free bits back then and now I manage to have some capital and learn some skills in trades so I am earning from it.

[btc78]

Bitcoin has changed my life, after I got to know bitcoin I wanted to work as a freelance with crypto payments. When the bull run occurred in 2017 many goods that I could buy from the results of joining several campaigns. And for now I will hold bitcoin for my future savings and hope 1-2 years the price will go to the moon.

is that mean you are not spending your bitcoins now?i mean keeping them all from the payments in campaign?and what do you mean Mooning in 1-2 years?we are in halving year now so at any case we may grow like Bullrunning,the question is how much you cana fford to sell your Bitcoins because never forget those trapped in 2017 when they are assuming the price will still go up till 2018 but sudden?its not.

[wack slacker]

Bitcoin helped me better understand the currency and how banks make money from everyone.  Every year, the national central bank continues to print more money and our income levels do not increase significantly, while consumer costs and asset classes increase.  That means that the poor will continue to be poor and the rich will continue to be rich.  I feel that Fiat money is losing value faster and faster than before.

[bryant.coleman]

I was jobless for almost 6 months in 2014 and earnings from signature campaigns helped me to survive. I had almost zero savings apart from Bitcoin and by the time I got a job (end of 2014) I was neck deep in debt. It was unfortunate that I had to sell almost 30 BTC back then, for around $250 per coin. But I had hardly any other option. Anyway, there is no point in talking about it all the time. I am still having some $100,000 worth of coins and I hope that the exchange rates will go up this year and I will be able to sell my coins and retire from my full-time job.

[Assface16678]

Bitcoin has helped me a lot when i was undergoing financial crisis. It has helped many who are jobless so many are using bitcoin for their daily needs and even more most members are investing on it for their future. Bitcoin has changed so many life and even iam one among them.

By the time goes by the market price of the bitcoin is came from the lower price and before the bitcoin is not yet popular and a friend of mine makes some suggestion that makes investment with the use of bitcoin and both of us risk our money into an investment that we don't know if we got a lot of profit. When the price of the bitcoin goes up it has the time to pull it out that money I've got for my investment saves me because I can now find a job that can help me to earn a stable income, pay all of my debts when I don't have enough money, and buy things that a man's basic needs and by those income I manage my money properly and help other people with the use of introducing the cryptocurrency or the bitcoin to them and tell my story how I earn on it.

[CryptoCardNews]

Economic freedom is the most important thing.   BTC is empowering everyone who owns it.

The best part is that everyday people were able to get into it before the big banks.

[Gumpfire]

I love the Bitcoin community and consider you guys/girls family! <3

That's what I really want in bitcoin, because this new system is very welcoming to newbies, and there will be a lot of users that will help you understand and will guide in your journey in cryptoworld.

My friends introduced me to bitcoin and they are still helping me to make me understand some things that are not clear with me. This has helped me discover new things and because of that, I am open to changes and new information the world has.

[iHodler]

Took my entire free time away. 

Now beside the obvious joke, Bitcoin done has done for me:
• Improved my English language (I am not a native speaker);
• Released me from debt and I also have some money put aside;
• Made me a more responsible guy, since I need to take care of my own money;
• I started to learn more about computer science, cryptography and tech in general.

I agree that Bitcoin's system and community is always very friendly to people who want to participate, and people here always want this product to spread to the community, they are willing to explain to newcomers all the questions and problems with bitcoin, I have also introduced my friends to this issue. However, after solving this problem, I realized that bitcoin could make a financial change and make my life better, but in another dark corner, my friends could not achieve the similar success, even a lot of failures, right now I'm not sure introducing bitcoin is a good path, Bitcoin is not only positive, but also negative

[bryant.coleman]

We all have a chance to become wealthy but that means we need to stop spending our bitcoin, instead we will save it and consider it as a long term investment. There are a lot of people who are already rich with bitcoin, so it's not impossible for us to make a fortune on it.

If you are an intelligent investor, then you should know when to book your profit (and losses). I am telling this despite regretting the fact that I sold almost 30 BTC during 2015-16, when the prices were around $250 per coin. First of all, you need to admit that there is absolutely no guarantee that the Bitcoin prices will continue to go up for ever. If that was the case, then all the 7.5 billion people living on this planet would have rushed to invest in BTC. Although the chances are really low, there is a chance that BTC may become completely worthless in the future. Under these circumstances, I would advise everyone to sell some of your coins now and to keep the remaining for the long term.

[Shazeb0601]

I heard about the bitcoin in the year of 2017 and then i started working and investing with the bitcoin.and till now it was a great experience with bitcoin and it never disappoint me and always gave me good profit.  I think for everyone who are here in this forum and also in the crypto field the bitcoin brought hope into their life.i personally having lot of hopes with the bitcoin and i am gonna surely make my dreams fulfill by the bitcoin.

[TheGreatPython]

That's really nice. Bitcoin is really changing lives to be sincere. There are lots of people who have been able to change their lives through Bitcoin and I'm glad that you're one of those that have said good about it today. Some others that I have seen keep saying rubbish about Bitcoin and I have even seen one that became a millionaire through Bitcoin saying that people should stop investing in Bitcoin because it's already late. That really pissed me off when I read it, imagine someone that got their life changed through Bitcoin saying trash about it.

Getting to know about Bitcoin is something that has really helped me so far because I wouldn't have been able to achieve some things if not for it.

[krulviper]

bitcoin has changed my life and has taught me a lot of lessons, one of which is about organizing and planning money. bitcoin once put me on top, but due to lack of money my management and dare to trade without enough knowledge so that I again lost all my assets.
but that doesn't make me give up, it's a very valuable lesson so that I don't repeat the same mistakes in the future.

I am glad that bitcoin has a positive effect on you just continue on what you started. For me, when I was newbie here I do not believed that can I earn here by just posting here. My friend teach me how to earned here at first it was so difficult for me but my friend continuing teaching me in some question that really confused me as time goes by I learned a lot of new things here in bitcoin in the way I can managed my own money very well not unlike in past I so very costly and I think that bitcoin really change me on how to handle my money properly.

[South Park]

My story with Bitcoin is a bit strange. I got my first coins sometime in 2012, when the exchange rates were less than $10 per coin. But in 2013, I was able to increase the Bitcoin holdings significantly, with the help of faucets and signature campaigns (in particular the Prime Dice signature campaign, which was paying BTC2.40 per month). At one point, I had close to 70 BTC in my wallet.

I guess I got greedy then. I invested in Litecoinglobal, with around 30 BTC. Lost the entire amount when the site closed down. And then I became demoralized. Faced some financial issues in 2015 and had to sell most of my remaining coins for $250 per coin. Now my holdings are only a fraction of what I had in 2013. Anyway, no point in thinking about those days.

Even if you are not enjoying your life with a lot of money thanks to that bitcoin at least it helped you when you needed money the most and that is really important, many people find themselves in similar circumstances and they have no money and no one to help them, so think about those days as a learning experience that will help you to not commit the same mistakes in the future and will allow you to keep most of the bitcoin you make during the next years.

Because of bitcoin I make myself almost financially stable. Well, I use almost because I still cannot support myself and I need some help from my parents and also I bring myself to this forum and it's glad to see that you acknowledge all the people here in the forum. All the people here in the forum gives respect to one another that makes the bitcoin community much exciting.

[kaneki007]

I don't remember how much bitcoin I sold during that year, for now I did sell a bit of the results from campaign because I was in college and needed money for it. I hope so because I saw prices at the beginning of this year bitcoin has touched price 10k$.

[Sebas.tian]

More than what I can comprehend. Apart from its be a method of payment and source of investment, the knowledge gained so far from this technology cannot be over emphasis, many have been with me because of what I taught them about the technology and they are according me with the right respect. It has been a source of financial to me and thoose who have invested into the technology, also, being an anonymous gateway payment made me love the more. Am so grateful for the knowledge and insights gotten so far from study and researching the technology.

[AdoboCandies]

Bitcoin provides me knowledge because there are some terminologies, strategies and analysis in the crypto world that i always apply on my field of study learning crypto is a great way to improve my knowledge especially in trading, of course it also provides me extra income for my many expenses for my tuition fee and if there is extra i bought what i need when i earn something. i also met and knew a lot of people here in the community, through exchanging knowledge and services with each other.

Before I dont know what's bitcoin is really is, I only heard it from my classmate and to know it more I do some research about then I got interested then I enter to cryprocurrency. And after that i see my life begin to change becuase of bitcoin it gives me opportunity to change my way of living, also becuase of bitcoin gives me knowlegde about other crypto and what the used of them, it also give me knowledge to making a plan, goal and strategy to lead me to become successfull.

It's nice to be able to provide a way for others, right? by providing proper education, giving correct direction, related to investment, trading, and other activities related to cryptocurrency, then we can provide great benefits for others. I am proud of you.
The most advantage is that I get a side job as a bounty hunter, it is very fun when we interact with others, support the project, with comparable rewards, yes even though there are many scams but there are still many legitimate projects provided we can be more selective.

I don't imagine how things goes far in my side since before I don't even know on what I'm doing in my investment since I always fall on scams but luckily bitcoins and cryptocurrency brought up by my friend to me and he told me that this is one of the effective way to earn and to achieve a good side jobs, bitcoins didn't disappoint me since I'm lucky that it has completely change my life and earning good more with this compare to my offline job.

[Docnaster]

Personally, Bitcoin hasn't done a huge amount for me. Most of the time I invest in cryptocurrency, it just happens to be at the wrong time so I end up in a loss.

With that said, I do acknowledge what Bitcoin stands for in the long-run, and what blockchain-based currencies stand to do to modern finance.

Because of that, I don't mind losing some money to help support this growing ecosystem. I know that someday it will be worth the losses.

[South Park]

I still don't have an access to stock market that day so I can't trade with it then Bitcoin became my option to trade. So far there's nothing that Bitcoin did that went south for me.
I mean I can send money easily using a local online platform, as well as cashing it out. I don't see any downside that it has shown to me lately , so I think that everything went positive for Bitcoin to my utilization.
Can't wait for it to be used in convenience store though, like I am pretty much limited to just buying Bitcoin rather than paying with their merchandise with Bitcoin.

This is an important aspect of bitcoin and the whole market in general this market is open 24/7 every day of the year and it allows everyone to participate, in my country if you want to open a forex account you will need to have at minimum 10k dollars to create your account, while that may not seem much to some I can guarantee you that 99% of the population in my country do not have an amount even close to that, but with bitcoin that is not a problem and you can trade with whatever amount of money you may have.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I think that bitcoins should be an alternate way of accessing money, rather than making it a replacement for paper money. Paper money is always vital in one's day to day life. On the other hand, bitcoins should be user in cases where using paper money is risky or maybe hard to use. For example, if I want to send money to a friend of his living on the other side of the country, sending paper money through courier/bank is quite time consumable and risky as well. So, in this case, I can easily send money to my friend using bitcoin, in seconds and at the same time by using a highly encrypted method.
So, if you asked "what has bitcoin actually done for me" I just want to say It gives me a fully comfortable secured transection method and saves my time for doing unnecessary things.

[Hypnosis00]

Bitcoin could give us something really amazing and make my life amazing as well. It was full doubt when I started to be a part of this community but later on, it'll find how it works in my life and truly an explosive market where many of us can benefit from this. I know risk could be a hindrance for us why we are undecided to invest Bitcoin but if you'll never think of it and just enjoy the market, you'll find it not regrettable and really profiting, and that is what I've experienced in here.

I began to think that almost all of us have the same change when we know crypto, especially bitcoin. it changes our perspective in the business world, becoming more careful, always seeking information, always considering risks and others. I feel that my current thinking about business has changed quite a lot because it is immersed in the crypto world.
