How has Bitcoin Changed your life?

[chichigirl]

Just interested to hear everyone's stories are really! some of us have been on this ride years, some of us days, but I'm curious what places/people/events have occured in your life because of Bitcoin??

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!

Bitcoin really help a lot to gain more. I become more interested in trading and research more about crypto. Such a great job for me since i am not that interested when it comes to research things but as time goes by i become more interested with it.

personally I just joined this bitcoin a few years ago and I learned a lesson in it that patience and prudence are the main things. patience in dealing with the ups and downs of the crypto market and also prudence in managing the assets owned. Bitcoin has changed my life both from an economic side and from another side such as effort and also mental. I think we learn to be able to handle our own assets where it affects the profits that can be obtained in the future. so make the most of it.

It's made me spend countless hours talking to people in forums like this, and on reddit. Not bad, but definitely a lot of time spent haha

You are very lucky to have started to understand that patience and prudence are important things for investors to have. So I'm not surprised to
know you've managed to get a lot of benefits from Bitcoin that can change your life for the better. But unfortunately, there are still many investors
who don't have these two things, which makes it difficult for them get benefit from Bitcoin. I have been in the crypto world for years, and Bitcoin
has helped improve my economy. Therefore I want to educate more people, especially those around me, so that they can enter the crypto world
and feel what benefits I have gotten from Bitcoin.

Yeah it is worth the time and effort as long it could give out learning and would really be beneficial for you in long term as you can apply it on your future actions to be made which would really possibly you earn.

Bitcoin opportunities could really be life changing and we've seen people who had actually changed up their lives even if theyre young or simply doesnt really care on what age you do have

as long you do know on what you are doing and deal with this volatile market.

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.

a better living in term of what?

trading? i dont think so, trding is not for everyone.
investment? i dont think so, it has super ultra mega hyper risky.
a future currency? yas that is true but the world isnt completely ready.
an innovative business model? yas that is true but you would suffering during the proccess.
i do like bitcoin in term of everything but .. the environment around isnt fully supportive, time just will tell us.

Before I know about bitcoin I was poor, I don't have money to study in university. After collecting bitcoin from bounty and etc finally I sold my btc to pay tuition. I active in this forum and learn many things from other members here. For poor people it is very hard to do investment because we need a lot of money first. But now I can invest just by click a button to start investing and don't need big number of fund. The ease of investing is really help me a lot. I am so glad that there so many legendary members who share their knowledge and information so my skill can be improved.

Bitcoin brings me a lot of extra benefits when my job salary is dissatisfied. This has to make me love to invest in cryptocurrencies more, learn and understand more about cryptocurrencies, and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies. I am very satisfied in my current state, and many goals are gradually being achieved.

Bitcoin has not only brought me wealth but also a sense of excitement. I took my savings after work and invested in Bitcoin. The volatility of Bitcoin caused my emotions to fluctuate. Before that, I didn’t I have experienced it, but I can control myself not to miss this opportunity. I did not choose to give up Bitcoin. I believe that it will bring me more surprises in the future. At the same time, I also invest in some other mainstream currencies to make short-term gains.

2008= A global financial crises where most of the people responsible actually prospered - regular people lost their homes and or savings while the broken financial system was deemed "Too Big to Fail" and by the way... the financial system is still broken and will fail again.


I was a real estate broker in 2008 the financial crash was already happening in early 2007. On a personal scale most of my co-workers, clients and myself were financially devastated. This made me interested in really learning how money works and economics in general.
By 2013 I was still in 100's of thousands of dollars in unsecured debt and the "crazy magical internet money" bitcoin began to look like a real alternative to the current system so it became a hobby.

I mined, made some money, got on my feet, spent and gave away.
Some of those I gave to spent, one I gave to saved it for years and recently cashed out to make a huge positive life change, a couple more are still Hodling more than me :-)
Whatever bitcoin becomes, it has already personally changed my life positively.

Plus I just friggen' love it !!

Yes, it has changed my life in one way because of bitcoin I don't spend money as freely anymore. Every dollar I spend now feels like spending $300 because I think that's how much it would be worth in about 3-10 years if I were to put that money into bitcoin or any other currency like eth. So I'm living much leaner these days.

[Sithara007]

I just need to provide one statistic to tell how Bitcoin has changed my life. Ever since I joined this forum in March 2014, the total time I have logged in to this forum is 66 days (1594 hours). That is almost 1 hour per day for the last 7 years. And it has been rewarding for me in financial terms. When I made my first investment, the exchange rate was just $600 per coin. Now it is almost 80x higher. I have made investments in other assets as well, but none of them have provided as much profit as Bitcoin has. I can say one thing with 100% surety. Without Bitcoin, my financial condition would have been much worse, and I would have been struggling to make ends meet.

Bitcoin has not brought great changes to my life, but opened a new world. I began to think about what change decentralization would bring.

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.

Not really helpful? but you are helped by alt coins in financial terms? wouldn't Bitcoin altcoins not even appear until now?
So Bitcoin is your bridge to know more about the altcoins you currently hold. Back again to the awareness of each individual, if it only refers to finance, maybe the benefits of Bitcoin will not be felt, but if you look at it from the perspective of the birth of Bitcoin, it has clearly inspired other altcoins to live.

Yes while,Bitcoin dident make me rich  it was a forefront for me getting into crypto. I mined it back in 2011 and then lost interest  and like an idiot thought it would not go anywhere. I almost lost all my wallet keys at one point because I lost interest.   When the price started to rise and it started to be more in the media and mainstream news I took notice of it again and  ended up selling what I had at the time.  Now I dont really do much with Bitcoin but I invest in a lot of staking  and alt coins so yes Bitcoin did get me into crypto in the first place and 8 years later  im still very much involved with crypto

It’s been an awesome and humbling experience. The fact that Bitcoin doesn’t discriminate and is accessible to almost everyone is life changing. The ever-increasing knowledge of Bitcoin also helps in some decision making as regards the financial market. I’m beyond grateful for this!

I also since getting to know Bitcoin have become wiser in spending money, because my money can make a big profit if I buy Bitcoin. So every
extra money I get I will buy Bitcoin, because I already understand that holding Bitcoin can make me rich. Indeed, the profit that I make from
Bitcoin cannot be obtained instantly, but by having patience the profit will come by itself. Bitcoin has taught me how to be rich and until now
I always allocate money every month to buy Bitcoin. Because I already understand by investing in Bitcoin my life will get better.

I remember firstly came into the crypto world, have no Bitcoin, only from altcoins Bounty that was very not worthy.
Then, it came into a signature campaign with BTC payment. That was likely the beginning of how I could have my Bitcoin.
My life can change because of that BTC.
I was not a full-time worker in real life, and payment from that campaign was one of the incomes that I should use with my little family.
So hard, of course.
I was working and working hard again, not selling all of my BTC, some are used for trading.
Learning to trade Bitcoin is not easy, moreover from autodidact.
It was a hard time.
And then the price of Bitcoin was rising and rising, I could start smiling when looking into my balance.
Yeah, Bitcoin has really helped my life, much.

2012 the first time I know Btc. But at that time all I did was daily trading, taking profits little by little and never thinking about the future at this time. I only saw Btc as an alternative looking for profit at that time, survived daily trading for about 4 months then I sold everything because I was bored. Then I left everything. A few years later, 2017 i saw news about Btc on television, this is very shocking, if only i still had it maybe my life would be better. 2017 till now I don't want to miss the opportunity. investment is future saving, so is Btc.

Bitcoin really changed my life. Previously I knew how to make money just by working at least 8 hours a day, getting up early, going to the office and working. In a day I have to lose a lot of time for family, all I do is just to make money. And now everything has changed, i am not ordered and i am free to do it any time. Not much but very enough for my little family.

Most of us had a wonderful experience in Bitcoin, many were getting benefits compared to those who losses their BTC because of their carelessness.
Not only it gives us money but having this investment teaches us how to become strong and patient. We learn also how to control our emotions in such a way that not all the time the market gives us a favor, and the last thing is we've learned how to take care of our funds as we are prone to hacking.

We experience losses as our mistake but we also find a way to correct it and recover from getting down. And we can see that many things it changes us mentally and financially.
