What has bitcoin done for you?

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

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.

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.

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.

  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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

[bearexin]

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.
