How has Bitcoin Changed your life?

[rodskee]

Bitcoin destroyed my life. I went all in at around $20k with pretty much my whole life savings and after that the crash happen and i sold all of my investment in Loss.

Bitcoin did Not Destroy your Life , It is your Stupidity that destroyed it.

You invested that big amount when everyone here keeps advising people to "INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU CANA FFORD TO LOSE yet you have the guts saying this word?

it is your greediness that makes you fall and you deserve that.

  I'm also not here for pity. I only blame myself. Just wanted to show a different kind of story to all of you.

Most of us have same mistake but we have no feeling in delivering like this because we accepted our mistakes in selling while in Panic.

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!

Nice to hear you made it into the community. Bitcoin also changed my life for the better. I guess it's fair to say you got a dream job alright. I have been in cryptos for a few years now, and would much like to work in the industry. The crypto Industry is growing at a fast pace and new opportunities are opening every day. I hope I can get my dream as well.

As long as I know bitcoin my life has changed for the better first my opinion was just waiting for the monthly salary from working in the office but now I have earned more from bitcoin investment.
first I know bitcoin I don't believe in bitcoin but my friend tried to convince me to invest in bitcoin then I tried with a small capital after I saved about 3 months then the profit from bitcoin was extraordinary so I believe bitcoin can be used as an asset for the future.

Personally Bitcoin have made me understand what is life. Because, I never had any intention to save money. Fortunately what I invested gave good return. But, I wasn't able to enjoy the profit as I doesn't had good understanding about the market in the past. Later my mind got deviated towards gambling and now I'm suffering for money. Because, now I'm in need of money and I don't have it. So, bitcoin have taught me about life.

I graduated from school  some years ago. I started searching for job until someone introduced me to bitcoin investment and how someone can use it to earn huge amount of money every week or every month in the country. Since I started investing on bitcoin many things has changed positively, I am now creating businesses all over the communities to also help others to have something to achieve in the country.
I have achieved a lot of positive income from bitcoin. I can trade by myself without the help of facilitator. I know when to buy bitcoin and hold until the price increase before i can supply to to make a suitable profit.

Just on a tone of humour (or not …), and after reading a few sad stories here, one may need to consider therapy at some point, in accordance to the following brief questionnaire:

Is a cryptocurrency habit a problem for me? Do I have a cryptocurrency addiction problem?
Answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to each of these 10 questions:

-   Do I spend a lot of time thinking about different types of cryptocurrency?
-   Am I spending large amounts on cryptocurrency?
-   Have I tried to slow down or completely stop cryptocurrency trading – but not been able to?
-   Do I become restless or irritable if I try to cut down my screen time related to cryptocurrency?
-   Do I jump on the computer and start trading in cryptocurrency to escape from life’s problems or to try to elevate my mood?
-   Do I carry on trading in cryptocurrency after losing money – to try to gain it back?
-   Have I ever fibbed to other people about how much time or money I spend trading in cryptocurrency?
-   Have I ever taken money unlawfully to fund my cryptocurrency addiction?
-   Has my cryptocurrency trading habit had an effect on my relationships or my job?
-   Do I try to get other people to lend me money when I have lost on investment?


If you have answered ‘yes’:

-   Just once – maybe a problem – this one thing may be enough of a problem to need help.
-   Three times – Addicted to cryptocurrency – your cryptocurrency trading habit probably feels out of control – think about getting help.
-   Five or more times – Pathological cryptocurrency addict – your cryptocurrency trading habit is probably affecting every part of your life – seek help.

Note: Not publicizing the site at all, but I came across an article in the Sun of all places, that led me to above site. Browsing it out of curiosity, I ventured to quote the extract for entertainment purposes.

Not just Bitcoin, but cryptocurrencies.
I don't actually know if my life is affected positively or negatively.
Before I knew cryptocurrencies, if I lost $20 I will be very much pained. But since I knew cryptocurrencies, I can sleep and wake yo see slump to $100, $200 of my portfolio and my mind remains unshaked. Cryptocurrencies have made me not to be afraid to loss monies. My heart is very strong now. So I don't even know it it's a positive or negative change in my life.

I know bitcoin in 2014 when the price was around $110, at that time I was actively participating in faucets, giveaways and many PTCs that paid bitcoin, unfortunately most of the bitcoins I got I used to participate in HYIPs and cloud mining and I got scammed a lot, if I hold it until now then from giveaway and faucets i can have money up to $75k.

Well, the problem with faucets before is slow accumulation of satoshis and then difficulty in withdrawing them. I have not heard of people getting rich just by working with faucets. If there was then that person might have invested a lot in technology in order to accumulate those satoshis. Anyway there faucets and there are "mining" websites, that lets you mine but also the withdrawal is too high and you would not be able to wait until the satoshis accumulates. Very few perhaps were patient enough to save these websites.

Maybe the title has just become specifically mentioned Bitcoin but i guess it is better to ask " Has crypto Change your Life"? that is more relevant i guess since not all of us are sole crypto investors/users instead we are separated of other altcoin though our main holding is bitcoin.
 
So yes my life changed by Crypto and not just Bitcoin , as i invested and earn much Higher from my Altcoin investing/trading than Bitcoin alone.

Bitcoin make me more wise to use my Money. Before i know about bitcoin i just spend my money into stupid thing like cloths, toys and buy something useless in game. So after i knowing about bitcoin i spend my money more wiser like investing and split my money into 2 instrument (saving and spending).

[Alisha-k]

When I first heard about Bitcoin, I mistook it for Ponzi (of course so many of us did) it dawned on me when Bitcoin made it's first rise and then the finances doubled if not tripled....


The long and short of it is that purchasing Bitcoin and investing on crypto generally has taught me a lot of things I didn't believe it would...

Maybe a story like yours is experienced by many people, as an investor of course you take lessons from losses, and now is the right time if you want to take the lost money, but I suggest to hold and be patient if the price drops because I believe that bitcoin this year can reach at least $90k.

Bitcoin has really helped me and I thank the guy that introduce me to this forum as here has been my major source of information in relation to Bitcoin and crypto currency generally. Trading forex has something that I was learning though not successful but that experience has helped me in trading Bitcoin and other Altcoins which I have earned some reasonable money as compared to when I was trading forex.

I got to know bitcoin about 6 years ago, at that time I collected bitcoin from various sites and programs such as cloud mining, faucets, giveaway, ptc and so on, and after I patiently held it for up to 8 months I was able to earn around $4500 and for me this is money so big that I could pay for college and buy a motor racing sport.

[Kanjeung]

if I may know, where do you work? I really want to be like you, but in my area there is no cryptocurrency office. i have joined bitcoin and know bitcoin for 4 years, from bitcoin i live and feed my family, my life is almost depend on bitcoin, there is no other job besides this. During the 4 years of my life many changes, have real assets for my future, such as vehicles, houses, small investments. that's all I make from bitcoin. I am very grateful when I meet a friend who gives a little knowledge about bitcoin, I will never forget him. but only one thing i haven't achieved yet, which is like you can work on bitcoin exchange.
