What has bitcoin done for you?

[Mulann2]

I have never use btc directly to buy online (am looking forward to doing so soon) but I have trade btc for fiat to solve personal problems and to me that is very satisfying, just that feeling of having something to fall back on is amazing,  plus btc has brought me good profit, so I believe btc has done enough to impact my life positively.

To be honest, I am a little disappointed with the government regulations here that prohibit the use of bitcoin as access to online payments, even though before that I could pay for electricity, water, phone bills, this made it very easy for me.
but through Bitcoin intermediary, I can change the family economy for the better even a lot better. investing in bitcoin with great patience, is like having a very valuable treasure (it is invisible but very profitable). here i am building a small cryptocurrency community.

When I first know about Bitcoin, it was in 2014. I only created this account and a couple of wallets (Coins.PH and Blockchain). After that, I ignored them because I simply couldn't understand it.

Three years later (2017), I noticed the growth of Bitcoin and pumping all it's way to an all-time high. I'm not only focused on the price though, but understanding about it's technology and real use case. It motivates me to become a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advocate by becoming a keynote speaker in various parts of the Philippines to educate the masses.

Not only I'm thankful to Bitcoin, but also to Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies (whether bought, airdrop, bounty, etc.) that really helped turned my life around. I paid my debts, leveling up my Christmas and birthday gifts and treats to my loved ones, traveling both locally and internationally for two years.

I'm very grateful on what Bitcoin has done for me, and also other cryptocurrencies.

I started bitcoin only on free sites like faucets, paid to click ads and even encoding i did that just to earn free bitcoin which was already a big achievement for me at that time, to be honest. Bitcoin did a great feat in my crypto career because it gave me an extra income while just at home and i had a spare time to all that free stuff that helped me a lot of my expenses on electric and internet monthly bills. So, now i am still on crypto but on bounty hunting stuff that also give me more opportunity to earn free tokens/coins that to be exchange into the market and earn free bitcoin for all my hard works.

Before knowing Bitcoin, I always have a hard time withdrawing my money online. I mean after I successfully earned it from hard work, there's a lot of things to do to get it. But with Bitcoin, I never had such experience. in fact, the first time I got my first earning, I withdraw right away and bought some cake to prove that it really works. My first BTC earned from bounty payment was a social media campaign that pays BTC and right after I got my pays I bought my self some cake to celebrate my first BTC earnings.

Bitcoin has got me fired from my office, but it is making me better. Bitcoin has built me into an independent business without worrying that I'm late coming in every morning, having to work overtime because of sudden and urgent assignments, receive punishment from my boss because work is not good, have to wait once a month to receive a salary.

[Mor254]

My life has changed for the better and I have accumulated a great wealth of money thanks to Bitcoin. My life has improved and I have bought many of the things I need through Bitcoin.

[marcous]

I know bitcoin since 2017 and trying to understand what bitcoin is. I have learned a lot about blockchain, ICO, Bounty, and trading when I was an employee. my first income from the campaign. and my life has changed, now I have my own house

I don't wanna assume this but I guess most of us are too skeptical about bitcoin at first coz the technology that time was still unappreciated for most of the people, and only a few has a computer that time, even phones are just keypad-ed. I was just able to know it in early 2017 when a friend told me about it, but I was the one who discovered this forum but unfortunately he got lose his interest to it when he got his own family. Bitcoin has done so much for me, I got my gaming computer out of it in 2017, got a bunch of cash when I sell it all out, just the basic dreams that I hoped for a very long time. What's the best in feeling is when you provide yourself your things, and that is with the help of bitcoin

I like making these threads because it's interesting to see how Bitcoin has changed people's lives. So how has Bitcoin helped you in your life?


For me personally, I use Bitcoin to accept money from people instantly.

The ease involved in the transaction of digital asset has been made possible by the Bitcoin network. The delays associated with transactions in financial intitutions have now become history as we transact in the comfort of our apartments via mobile phones and the with less fees void of institutionla interruptions. That is what bitcoinhas done.

Answering your question, OP: The first one for me is that the so much jingles on radio about Bitcoin got me into Google for research and that's how I found this Bitcointalk forum. So, whether through google or radio I found myself here. I have continually gained knowledge I never knew here on cryptocurrency.

Secondly, I have met some compatriots through this platform too. Last but not least, this phenomenal Bitcoin has further raised my curiosity on how the world will be when we shall have another financial world order after cryptocurrency. Remember, we had Barter, Fiat and now Cryptocurrency. No doubt, a time will come when cryptocurrency will also fave the challenge of bring phased out by a new tech.

In a period where inflation is the order of the day, bitcoin and crypto currency has been a great wealth. I have ensured to convert my fiat to btc, then convert to usdt, then back to fiat every time i need money.

[MCobian]

To be honest, I'm a little sensitive when talking about Bitcoin which has helped a lot in my life. Every time remember what was done
Bitcoin towards me is amazing, if I remember it makes me want to cry with tears. Imagine that Bitcoin was successful saved me from
poverty, it reminded me of when I couldn't continue my education to universities. I decided to look jobs back then, but without a college
degree it was difficult to find a decent job. When it was the first time I got to know Bitcoin and can make money by trading Bitcoin. And
my life started to change for the better.

I can't count on them, bitcoin gave me a lot of benefits on me.

Bitcoin considered a valuable asset nowadays, aside from gold, and resources that can be a good investment, bitcoin is an exception, fiat slowly increase and decrease but bitcoins volatility exceeds my expectation. Banks silently steals money from people with an odd number to their respective debit/savings card that can't be withdrawn.

Bitcoin offers a special wallet depends on what platform, that you can check every day, and be surprised if the value decreases or increase in a short period of time, the level of cryptocurrency from fiat is way too high which is no wonder it will help you a lot.

[Wramy]

Bitcoin done so many things for me. IT'S teach a lot. And it's serve as a medium for me to know and learn about cryptocurrencies. I'm still lack of knowledge about it though but I'm always willing to learn more about bitcoin and more. Ith helps me a lot, really. And I feel thankful that I d happened to encounter and have this opportunity to know things about bitcoin and all related to it.

In terms of an individual, bitcoin made me understand businesses and investments. It made me understand how hard-work pays off, and how a person can improve himself by patience and effort. Bitcoin is not that easy to manipulate and hold, but you need to deal with the risks in order to make it profitable for you. Learning more about it and trusting bitcoin will make you more courageous and dominant in the market. Bitcoin changed me, my mindset, my perspective when it comes on the reality of life. That there's always something that will keep you survive this reality, and there's an opportunity that is life changing. Huge credit for Satoshi Nakamoto, it is not important where is he right now, but I believed that he succeeded on making bitcoin, and it's not yet in its full potential.

I like this reply. Yes, from an educational standpoint, Bitcoin has definitely made me learn about the basics of economics, and some finance, but mainly learn about why Austrian Economics is good, and a debate for why Keynesian economics might also good.

The things that bitcoin has done for me that it helps me to become independent with my life, and I don't need to ask my parents to pay my tuition fees in college and buy the things that I want and need. That is why buying bitcoin is an opportunity for me to keep moving forward and reach my goals in life. Bitcoin has also taught me to have patience and control in holding my money and my investments in cryptocurrency for them not to go to waste.

[ryap12]

What Bitcoin have done to us?
-Paid school tuition fees for my wife.
-Paid school tuition fees for our son.
-Bought us a 49" Smart TV.
-Helped us reached destinations we have not been.
-Bought new phones for me and my wife.
-Bought new laptops for me and my wife.
-Covered to pay most of our bills.

I am hoping someday that Bitcoin will buy us a house and our own car as we do not have these yet. (We are currently leaving with my wife's parents' house.)

[Debonaire217]

Most of the replies I've seen focuses on financial and material achievements we have from bitcoin and it isn't bad. But for me, bitcoin enables me to see the world in a wider perspective where I learn to wait and be patient at all times. I also perceive that we don't need a recognition in order for us to develop a product that will revolutionize the world's financial system. Looking at satoshis, this gave me the feeling of being contented and to value pieces even without having everything (1 bitcoin).

Lastly, I have become financially independent especially through paying my college's tuition fee having the capacity to put food to our small table.

[Eugenar]

It won't be surprising to know that the majority of people in this forum will say that Bitcoin helped them in an aspect related to profit because that's its main use at this moment given that Bitcoin and other cryptos are not yet being accepted to most of the countries as a digital currency being used in daily living. So those people who are living in countries of the likes, will more likely make use of Bitcoin and other cryptos as an investment to also, make use of its advantage or its volatile market price which benefits them. Unlike to those people here who are living in countries wherein cryptos are widely accepted, they would more likely be able to appreciate the convenience this technology is giving to them, more.
