How has Bitcoin Changed your life?

[UserU]

Yeah I agree 100%. I in the past used other coins simply to be able to purchase more BTC! I find it handy that you can also earn bitcoin cashback on online shopping, that's helped me stack sats through out the year without needed to think about it too much.

Those crypto cashback programs only benefit those living in first world countries. The rest (like us) can go fuck off

Literally had no idea about it few years back even though it was in existence and I started my new job in the pharmaceutical industry. So I was all equipped with the new lab stuff, research and what not. I wasn't kinda guy who would go for an extra income at the time since it was just beginning of my career and low expenses so never thought about it.

However, it was not so far when I mate guy online, who was from the another state actually and we used to speak about new tech, online stuff and mostly internet of things. Then the idea of bitcoin came in first but it was about its tech, the backbone behind it, you know the blockchain and inventor and his mysteries kinda stuff mostly.

I was not aware that my new friend was good bitcoin earner. The guy also introduced me on the bitcointalk forum and lead me the way to whole new era of digital crypto space. Well this was very first when I started thinking out of the box and got involved with bitcoin.

It was the era of ICO's, bounties, airdrops and what not. I pushed myself everywhere and thus gained lot of knowledge regarding how stuff works in the crypto space. Started with bitcoin wallet and then MEW. Slowly moved into mining and how I can be one of the miner in my town was the excitement. Literally I learnt it from my friend and also pushed my limits.

It has changed my life completely. On top of this I never thought my pencil artwork will be paid into Bitcoin payment and thats tells the story where I am today! Thanks to forum and friends who introduced me to the bitcoin and to all the peeps who support this community. Life changing for sure!

This is a fun topic.  Bitcoin has changed my life in quite a few ways.  I would have to say however the number one way it has changed my life is by all of the good friends I have met along the way.  I am most active in the collectibles board here as I am a coin collector, and I've met a lot of close buddies over the year all over the globe.  I've met some, spoken over the phone to some, and plan to travel overseas to meet some as well.  Bitcoin isn't even remotely just about "profits" for me.

[LogitechMouse]

Because of Bitcoin:
- I learned different types of investments
- I learned how to invest
- I learned how to manage money
- I learned how to budget my money
- I learned how to save

I can enumerate more with how Bitcoin changed my life. The best that I've achieved with the help of Bitcoin is that, I don't need to work for other people just to earn money. A thing that is very hard to achieve right now.

Ok duh, this isn't "I earned bitcoins to help me with my finances" kind of comment/reply.
There isn't really place or event involved, but maybe person, because someone from far that I had connection of managed to ask me for emergency funds that he needs and because of this pandemic, where health safety is pretty much my priority and should not go outside as much as possible unless it is really necessary, but this one really takes the most of my at least "current" use of Bitcoin where I was able to send my friend my BTC since he is somehow not really into too much crypto but he knows how to have one and how to hold one. It saved me from going outside, because the day after that transaction happened, there was large increases in cases here in my city and I couldn't imagine what would happen if I still tried to send through money transfer. I don't use bank cards now, so wire transfers isn't an option.

[bitzizzix]

My reason is the same as most people and generally bitcoin can change my whole life for the better especially in financial matters because bitcoin can offer its users various opportunities to make money depending on their own skills and intelligence.
and besides that I can use bitcoin as a reserve fund that I can use when there are important things or unexpected events, making bitcoin as a reserve fund is very important and very useful and I experience it, when one of my family is sick or has an accident can helped him spontaneously when the situation couldn't be resolved other than I made a sudden sale of bitcoins and only sold what was needed.

At first it was normal, but as time went on I began to dig more and more about everything related to Bitcoin, and how to get more money from Bitcoin as a side income until I finally found it. Well, initially working on the signature campaign in this forum, this forum has become one of the ways that are indeed very valuable and very memorable so far, so I do more activities in front of my PC. Over time, as I often cashed it.. slowly my finances got better, and whatever I needed in my life was getting more fulfilled.

This is pretty much the same story that I have experienced up to now, especially in terms of economy I can generate income both monthly and daily from this forum. Bitcoin became my main center when I knew that its potential was to provide a surprise in the future. Not too much different from the many stories I have read about the introduction to Bitcoin, because the first is that we did not believe in the potential of Bitcoin and did not expect it to be this big. Many of us sold them early and probably left the Satoshi in their scattered wallets. But a few years later we almost looked up the number of Satoshi in all the wallets and collected them. It has considerable value today.

[blckhawk]

bitcoin changed my life in the sense that it gave me an opportunity to invest for the future. through bitcoin i was able to earn by trading altcoins to bitcoin and it gave me the financial freedom to buy what i need and provide for my family. especially here in the philippines, because life here is hard and we are not especially rich. so through bitcoin I was able to fulfill some of my dreams.

[batang_bitcoin]

That's a good jumpstart and catchy discussion that you've made OP. Aside from giving the introduction of the exchange where you're working at, you have also made a good discussion. Well, bitcoin has changed my life for real. I didn't expected that holding it is truly a life changing decision although I'm not truly an expert in these matters but having an experience about it makes you aware of what's good to hold and what's in it store for us.

Why thanks 

I think sometimes its nice to have a more lighthearted chat, we are all on here for the same reason, and I think it's nice to see how life changing Bitcoin can truly be. I was a bitcoiner before I got this job, and now I get to go to a job every day that I genuinely love. I love hearing other peoples stories, the community is one of Bitcoins greatest assets IMO.

Well, you're on point and you've got a better aura than the others who are trying hard to start a discussion without anything to talk about aside from the product that they introduce and it's only about it, nothing else. It's also my dream to work for any exchange or any company that's focused on crypto, a legitimate company that will impact not only me as a person while working there but also a lot of people that will benefit from that company's services offer.

[virasog]

It haven't changed my life. It least for now. I'm investing in it but i'm still working on the same job and not going anywhere soon. But i hope to change it someday!

You are one of those few people who know and are involved in bitcoin at this time. When you consider the whole world population and then the percent of people having bitcoin, you will be shocked. You don't need to do anything big, just keep on buying bitcoin every month with what ever money you have and never sell them. After 10 years, you will be in the list of richest people of the world.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Bitcoin brings me half shock and half hope. After I bought bitcoin, my assets fell by more than half. I had never experienced it before. I panicked and sold it. As a result, I missed the opportunity to accumulate wealth. Up to now, I only have a little bitcoin. I hope it will give me another chance to change my life.

This also happened to me. The first panic, and then mistrust, but later a great chagrin from past sales, as the price rises incredibly. It always stays in the memory. Today, I just don't look at the investments that I have. I have set some deadlines, and I think that I will not go wrong. I don’t make a religion out of Bitcoin, but faith comes from somewhere by itself.

I think every member who enters this forum is usually notified or invited by members who have registered. So how do you know abaut this frorum?

You are thinking wrong. You forget one moment that Bitcoin is becoming very popular, and the global network is becoming more accessible to different parts of the world. I will cite many accounts as an example that came to the forum themselves, because they were interested in Bitcoin, and they should not have been invited, since they were applicants themselves.

[CoinCornerNaomi]

But I haven't been told by anyone to come on here,

I think every member who enters this forum is usually notified or invited by members who have registered. So how do you know abaut this frorum?

we are encouraged to get involved in the community as the company is run by bitcoiners to serve bitcoiners.

So you work for a market exchange company?

And about the role of Bitcoin that changed my life is that I know that there is an opportunity for me to become rich with bitcoin.

I looked up 'bitcoin forums' and here I am lol. We have a whole marketing team, many of our staff are on twitter and reddit, none of the team are on here because i came here from my own accord

I work for a bitcoin exchange company, we buy/sell limited coins (3) but concentrate all our efforts into marketing BTC. The company is one of the longest running exchanges that serves the UK, and our CEO and other OG staff are all bitcoiners, so I don't really understand why you seem so frustrated at the thought of me being on here. We all have the same goal of mass adoption, I am a marketer of Bitcoin as well as a marketer of CoinCorner

Yeah, I think it's important people reading this thread also know that CoinCorner isn't ran by fiat hungry CEOs like many other exchanges, but true maxi bitcoiners who have the same goals and visions for Bitcoin that people who come to this forum have!

Yeah it's a dream come true for me, put your CV in some places, you'd be surprised what can happen! I never would've thought I would be where I am today that's for sure

[savetheFORUM]

For me personally, my love of Bitcoin lead me to applying and getting a job at a Bitcoin Exchange in my dream role... Pretty surreal! Now because of this I get to be involved in the bitcoin community daily, as we at CoinCorner like to stay active with fellow bitcoiners whenever we can!

So yeah thats my pleb story and where it's lead me... Have any of you been lead to any life changing events because of the Bitcoin? I wanna hear them!

Yes, Bitcoin has helped me very much. Bitcoin provided a lot more opportunities for so many people, like me.Years back before I discovered Bitcoin I had no serious job that can make me a good income, but when I discovered Bitcoin and through the opportunities that were available in The Bitcoin And blockchain industry, I was able to get a very good job that has been able to sustain my life and also helped me for years now. So, this has changed my life a lot and I’ve also been able to achieve a lot of things through what I’ve gotten here,and also seen some growth in myself and all areas of my life.

[Cryptoshops]

Bitcoin has not really helped me financially in a big way  because I sold mine way to early I also used to have a fair bit of Litecoin which I also sold way to early. Now I dont really do much with Bitcoin but my money is now mostly in alt coins or shit coins as people like to call them I now have a decent amount of money in staking coins and can happily say I am making profits from them. I doubt I will really buy much into Bitcoin again as there are now so many other coins which are both far easier to mine and stake and get a decent return back.

[Shenzou]

Bitcoin has opened a lot of opportunities for and change my life for the better, before bitcoin i struggled a lot to find ways to make some extra income and to do the things i like because all of my salary or at least back then when i was a student and had to pay for my rent barely allowed me to enjoy things but never to realized my goals, but thanks to bitcoin i was able to always make some extra money that i was able to take use it and still do whatever i want from going out to taking some trips and ever i was able to get my own car, so i am really thankful that i have stumbled upon bitcoin from an early time.

[Ararbermas]

There's a big changes by the way compared to my last job wherein i need to work 8-9  hours and take overtime just to have a good salary, now because of bitcoin it becomes so easy and you don't need to wake up early and to go home late because you can actually work from home.. And i can also do more stuff such playing games watching social media videos and no one can control my time.. So I'm thankful with crypto because without it probably i am still like puppet working too hard without any progress.. Lol

[wtsimis]

The Crypto market does not change my life yet, but I find one type of satisfaction to work in the crypto industry. The market ecosystem and the market volatility, all these craziness feel me one type of next leveled satisfaction, Thats why I don't care much about earning, I just enjoy the market situation.

Dont give up as long you do make yourself sustainable on this market and even earning on gradual phase then that signifies that you do really have the chance on changing up your life when it comes to finances.
There are lots of people had able to changed up their lives and also there are people who had totally get wrecked.We shouldnt focus much on the pro's yet there would be always cons behind it.
In regarding into my situation then this is something i could say that it did affect me positively which i can already buy the things that i do like which i cant do back in the past.

[Kelvinid]

Having Bitcoin actually gives me an opportunity to start a business, yeah, I gain some capital which is enough for me to start doing business. Many people had said it was a scam thing and now, I've proved to them that they are wrong. In fact, they are in asking me now. Maybe I was selfish but I'd never tell them. I just told them to make their research as that is what I did before. My point here is that I don't like to be blamed for whatever happens to them.

I just conclude that Bitcoin is a great opportunity for those who wanted to have a better living, not a thing that we just ignored.
