When I first heard of bitcoin

[iamsheikhadil]

Firstly, go easy on yourself since it could be anyone, truly, that would have behaved the same way as you did when your friend mentioned about bitcoin, because technically speaking, we are living in a world with traditional form of money for thousands of years that anything like these would look like a scam scheme in the first glance and that's why it's totally normal to be paranoid. You dont have to regret it either, many alt coins are still in their low prices which have had much bigger ATH in 2017 so you can acquire them, and bitcoin hitting $50k this year has surprised many of those who looked at it positively as well!

I struggled with this ideology for so long. I grew up with the mentality that one had to put in excessive effort I other to make real money and that nothing good comes easy. This hunted me for years until I began to see what bit coin and other crypto currencies was doing in the bank accounts of many. Then I decided to give it a trial. Its better to start late than never

The thing is we take ourselves for so cheap and granted that we imagine, to make even a little bit of money we have to work as hard as a horce runs, which was also a thought of mine. That money can't be made unless one mixes their sweat and blood, but world isn't so rough. Life's not a bed of roses, but it's not a bed full of cactus either, life's kind of mixed up, you have to balance, gotta work smart and not hard, and put efforts in the right place, and you will reach positions you have always dreamt about!

Let me share my crypto journey with you it was my second year on campus when my closest friend told me about bitcoin. [...]

This was the first time i was having a problem with my friend and the first time we misunderstood ourselves.This was someone i shared everything i had with. At some point we had to pathways because we no longer pursued the same goals and our conversations wasn't the same any more. Each time he came around he was always talking about bitcoin and this got me so upset that I asked him never to pay me a visit again. No knowing I was ignorantly fighting the future currency that would put smiles on many peoples face. In my own ignorance I had to block all means of communication between myself and my friend.

So, of course, everyone is focused on the story of money.

You threw away a friend—apparently for no reason but that he did not conform to your opinion of a subject that you didn’t even know anything about.

Few friends are true, but a true friend is worth more than money.  And a friend who informs you about a good way to make money is worth money, too.

Today I will say I regret my actions. Am trying so hard to cover up the leackages and the mistakes I made in the past. Trying hard to studying various coins to see as many I can acquire before I get to 35years of age. I will end with this we can't fight innovations we only adapt to changes

You only have regrets about the money?

This is why I say that few friends are true.  You did him a favour.

It is very strange that 2017 did not lead you to bitcoin, but rather scared you away. At that time, Bitcoin was talked about from every iron. Your friend was probably much better informed..
And I feel a little sorry for you for how easily you can lose friends. Probably that person was not your friend. Or you and I have different concepts of friendship.
In any case, no one should prove anything to anyone. If someone doesn't like something, it's their choice. You didn’t like and didn’t believe in Bitcoin, these are trifles. But the fact that you just let people go from you is very regrettable.

The past is our lesson and sees ourselves still learning and having a good life, this is also some of the blessings that we forgot to thank God. We need to consider that whatever misses us in the past, it's not really meant to be with us. Now that you found another chance, you are given a choice again whether to grab some opportunities or forget all about it again. But whatever happens, make sure you will not regret whatever path you choose today rather make every lesson in your life inspiration on whatever things you wanted to be in the future.

What different business people from ordinary people is their mindset. So it is only natural that ordinary people do not immediately provoke the extra effort to find out more information about how they make money from the opportunities that exist. IMO, knowledge and opportunities are sometime very expensive so don't waste the opportunity because it is very rare to come for the second time. I mean, at least take a little time to learn how money is made.

OP forget your past, and start something new and get another chance. Don't worry about passing opportunities, bitcoin is more than just a valuable crypto asset.

I think that I was the same as their members here, too strange about Bitcoin, but curious to know and understand more about it. Moreover, I was looking at some people who were very lucky in the crypto, being rich beaus of it, and at that time, I had my biggest expectation to follow them. Year, following is not good enough because we only focus on what the other people are doing. that is why, i decided to go through myself, learning more about crypto and getting often and often to be involved in this forum.

I saw it on v2ex in 2011. After seeing it, I spent two days looking at the information. I think this thing is very reliable and worth a try. There is no change in life, at most I can talk more with my friends. The BTC in my hand has never been traded, but it is regarded as a pension insurance. When I am old, if the BTC has not gone bankrupt, I will take it out for retirement.

I am newbie and trying to figure out how this coin is getting this much high value everyday! Nobody knows how much it's going to gain! But one thing i understood that when something great is evolving in world and people are getting more and more interested in it than you should find out it's potential. Nobody can predict future and everybody does mistakes!

Coins are accelerating everyday and every hour due to the marketcap of cryptocurrency, and note: if the total number demanding for cryptocurrency or depends on coin you are enrolling into is higher than supply, it's speed up or bumped the coin to another status point, so coins don't have specific time be grown from my perspective, but I don't know for other who received signal via cryptocurrency trading, looking or watching the movement of cryptocurrency it's obvious that no one is over handing crypto network.
