Am I the only one having this feeling?🤔🤔 ( #Bitcoin )

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Hey!!🤗🤗..  You are welcome..
Alright, but before I begin. Have you ever had this thought that how would your life been without cryptocurrency? (i.e I mean Bitcoin in particular).
Have you been able to find the right answer to it?
And, what answer could that be?.. (if you mind sharing)

Because just recently, after due thoughts and deliberations, I have come to my final conclusion that their is no era best compared to this 21st century which we are live in, and are all participants of Satoshi's innovation that has put smiles on the faces of many, made lives easy and money easily accessible by all at few minutes.

Because could you imagine, back in those days, for you to send money to a brother/sister who lives a distant city it normally takes hours, if not days on a long distant journey, but currently now, with just few seconds everything done.👌.. Isn't that amazing? 🤗🤗

Without bitcoin, not only that I would miss out on huge gains(percentage-wise), there's a decent chance that I probably wouldn't end up being decently knowledgeable in the fields of investing and finance; as bitcoin was my introduction to the bigger industry.

On the other hand, who knows. If I didn't learn about Bitcoin(or if it didn't exist), maybe I'd be doing something else like running a large successful business and would still be in a decent financial situation.

..or I could be a depressed office worker

When I was in looking for an online site to earn money to close off my debts, I was introduced to Bitcoin and this forum. So, If I were not introduced to Bitcoin or this forum, I am sure, I might have looked for some other ways to earn money online but would have ended up either by disappointment or mislead. 

But to be frank, I would have not had friends around the world sharing their knowledge with me directly here. I now have friends Philipines, US, and from other countries. Besides it, many to whom I introduced this forum and crypto, are now earning more from crypto platform which really changes their lifestyle and so on. I am really so happy to see it. So all these are because of just BITCOIN, crypto industry and yes this FORUM. I would have not seen these things if BITCOIN was not in place.

High rate of unemployment in my country, probably my life will not be good as I want it to be. I am basically online which brings food to my table, and if not bitcoin, this will not be possible.

Because could you imagine, back in those days, for you to send money to a brother/sister who lives a distant city it normally takes hours, if not days on a long distant journey, but currently now, with just few seconds everything done.👌.. Isn't that amazing? 🤗🤗

Using bitcoin for such payment makes it easier, not only that, the transaction cost can also be very low while transferring money to you relatives outside the country.

[dondonk]

I guess when I go back to living without bitcoin, I might think about investing the traditional way. by using assets such as houses, vehicles or livestock, which are certainly more troublesome to maintain and have a higher risk than bitcoin.

[isaac_clarke22]

I somehow relate to what you're saying there.

I am a bit "late" investor, even though there are no such thing as being late in cryptos especially Bitcoin, since I started in early 2017. I just registered here late, because I wanted to at least read other's experiences and news about Bitcoin.
Without Bitcoin, I would probably one of the bank slaves thinking that's the only way I can transact without involving any paper money.

[Upgrade00]

If I am to assume, without Bitcoin I would have been stuck up in a country with a constantly dwindling economy and currency value, which also has lots of restrictions, so accounts (even domiciliary ones) can be blocked without notice, making saving in foreign currencies not to be a solution.
Bitcoin provides freedom and autonomy, like no other asset before.

On the education side, I have learnt a fair amount about finance from reading around the forum, such knowledge I may have not been able to acquire (at least, not yet), if Bitcoin had not led to the creation of Bitcointalk.

[nakamura12]

Before I know about bitcoin living without knowing bitcoin is fun as I am more on gaming which brings a lot of good memories but didn't able to earn money online compared to the day I know and learn bitcoin. My life wouldn't be the same as of now if I live without bitcoin being existed or not knowing about cryptocurrency. I do have the feeling what would be the outcome if I didn't know cryptocurrency especially bitcoin.

[BlackHatCoiner]

If you don't know something's existence, you aren't affected. If I had never heard of Bitcoin, my life would continue normally. I'd have remained a person dedicated to computers and willing to work for interesting projects. Besides programming, I'd continue studying economics and literature which are favorite sciences.

But, I did learn about it. I liked the concept a lot and did not believe that it truly works the way it's described. I had to dig up the technical details to contradict myself. A brilliant piece of visioning along with the way to be implemented.

How would your life had been without Bitcoin???

Pretty bad to be honest 

Right before knowing about bitcoin, I had hit rock bottom. I tried trading forex and stocks, but it wasn't for me, as there was a lot of broker bullshit and KYC. Ooh, and some stockbrokers needed only institutional investors and not retail traders. It sucked so much.

Making money transfers or payments  overseas was also another challenge. The likes of Western Union would charge exorbitant fees 

Bitcoin changed all this. I am able to trade freely and make a decent earning and make worldwide transfers with extremely low fees

[sheenshane]

.... with just few seconds everything done.👌.. Isn't that amazing? 🤗🤗

It's been always amazing to know how Bitcoin transactions work that every one of us can publicly see the transaction on the database that is made by blockchain technology.  But I don't think it will take a few seconds everything was done, it might an hour, or if you pay a fee higher than the required amount it should be a couple of minutes.

Without Bitcoin?  Ain't know, it might digital centralize currency will always be there but as you've said there's no fastest alternate payment transaction that could be sent across the border in just a couple of hour.

Regarding the price of Bitcoin, most people will surely regret to see the market price is so high while they bought their Bitcoin.

[pakhitheboss]

A lot of things changed in my life after I joined the revolution of the decentralized economy. Bitcoin not only changed the way I thought about fiat but also helped me to understand the hidden agenda of the banks. I would not say I have earned a lot but I can surely say I have learned a lot and still learning every day. This happened only because of Bitcoin and its creator.

[noorman0]

Who knows about the future?
Some people may have positive results thanks to bitcoin for comparing to their previous (probably) bad economic circumstances, but that has happened. The answer will be completely realistic if you live 2 lives (or have a parallel life dimension).

Because could you imagine, back in those days, for you to send money to a brother/sister who lives a distant city it normally takes hours,

Maybe you mean sending physical money?
In fact, you can do that with your bank account within 1 second of processing time, and bitcoin can do it too if you set a high priority fee

[Maus0728]

Without bitcoin, I won't be able to afford a new PC desktop, and I might be forced to use a low-spec computer that can't run most of the applications required in the engineering field, especially now that we're in the midst of a pandemic.

Or there is a greater chance that I will not be able to continue my education because most provinces here are in a state of lockdown, which prevents employment and leaves my parents without income...in short I am just a student who is just too broke...

[cabron]

Without Bitcoin, I'd be slaved by a brother-in-law who always judges me about what I do in life. This man takes a bakeshop from his aunt that defaulted loan to their family and then takes the bakeshop as his. Eventually, he tried to manage it for months, and if it weren't for Bitcoin which I could have been one of his slaves. The slaves he has revolted against him before the pandemic strikes and leaves his business.

The last bull run made me enough money to make more investment to earn as well. I work with my regular online job and earn Bitcoin from campaigns here. Glad not to take part in my brother-in-law's business. That guy has no good intention to me.

Using bitcoin for such payment makes it easier, not only that, the transaction cost can also be very low while transferring money to you relatives outside the country.

By introducing P2P cash transfer, Bitcoin has no doubt benefited many people. You don't need to wait for banks to open and also there is no worry about there closure on weekends.
I have a small online business and have to wait for days for payments to arrive in account. With BTC life is much easier, as payments arrive instantly without any cuts. I am just lovin it.

How would your life had been without Bitcoin???

I shared this story before and I'm going to share it again.

As someone who grew from a family of 5 with only a single father, financially, it was tough and challenging. As the oldest brother, all of the budget and priorities are centered toward my younger siblings especially in their needs and education. When my friend introduced to me BTC way back in 2017, it gave me the opportunity to purchase school materials and books in order to finish my college education. So, not only BTC has propelled in funding my education but it indirectly helped my family as well.

Without the convenience of earning BTC online, there is a huge possibility that I would have dropped out my education and worked as a call center agent in order to support my younger siblings.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Nice question. Without bitcoin interference on my life, I probably not able to gain some of my asset in trading and investment. I am able to provide some that arent gonna get on my current work. Yes money involved in btc is big though Im also earning a good pay with my work, I am able to enjoy the suspense and thrill of investing on bitcoin and some of those cryptocurrency. So Im not sure if Im gonna be happy without btc, if suddenly it will be gone.

How would your life had been without Bitcoin???

No problem, without Bitcoin, it's normal, just investing, trading crypto that doesn't exist, if Bitcoin doesn't exist, if you talk about sending money that's a different story, for now Banks, ATMs are provided, it's easier to send money, it can take seconds and minutes the money you send has arrived at the destination you want, (ATM).

There is a difference between the presence of Bitcoin and sending money, it cannot be equated or a guide to the presence of Bitcoin.
Example:
Bitcoin was created in 2009, while Bank ATMs, have been in use 54 years ago, if I'm not mistaken around 1967, it was the first ATM used, since then people have been able to send money quickly, I don't think it has anything to do with sending money and Bitcoin, it's too far to explain, how Bitcoin works and how money works, it's a long story.

[jrrsparkles]

Traditional stock and gold will be my only assets if there is no bitcoin which are safe not really convenient assets but with bitcoin I am more confident since I can convert my assets into cash in few minutes and no need to worry about the banks since I run my own Bank.

In the 19th and 20th centuries there was (and is still) Western Union and other wire transfers and cheques to make distant money transfers in a decent amount of time, so it's not like the tech didn't exist before now.

[SFR10]

My life would've been a lot more serious due to the nature of my work ^{[it involves one of the medical fields]}. Don't get me wrong, my life still falls under that category but instead of pursuing it further, I chose to expand or rather gain knowledge in other fields ^{[thanks to BTCitcoin]}.
^{- Depending on how you look at the situation, it counts as pros or cons in my life!}

[Mpamaegbu]

If you don't know something's existence, you aren't affected. If I had never heard of Bitcoin, my life would continue normally.

That's absolutely true. We only fear what we know or think exists. This isn't to talk down on Bitcoin at all. I'm a great beneficiary of the creation of Bitcoin but the truth remains that before Bitcoin was created, life went on well. And we didn't even know there was something we missed. Nobody knew the extent that life was going to change with the introduction of a phenomenal like Bitcoin that has now made this paradigm shift all too conspicuous. However, there are some who would tell you that their introduction to Bitcoin wrecked and ruined them and made a mess of their finances. And they won't be wrong saying it. At least the man who sold his belongings and invested in Bitcoin at its ATH in 2017 and panic sold it in 2018/19 won't want to praise Bitcoin. That's a fact.

On the ease of payments and transaction transfer, Bitcoin has really made life more meaningful than it was years ago in comparison. Anyone who disputes this won't be telling themselves the truth.

[BIT-BENDER]

I think without crypto-currency my life would have been arduous, and maybe I would also have been timid because without crypto-currency, the government in my country would have continued to marginalize the youth and some curious adult who are excited about technological development, crypto-currency has also designed my aspiration not to be dependent on the government for a source of livelihood.

[bitgov]

BTC has benefited many people in the world in many ways, I am one of them. Not everyone in this world can have a bank accounts, thanks to monopolies of banks in the name of regulation. I don't have a bank account (since i am under 18 but I still do a job in different city), its only because of BTC that i can send money to my family. Other then that there is no reliable method.

[TheNineClub]

I mean, sending money online is available through internet banking, and it really does not take too much time But yeah, crypto has made a huge impact when looking at the bigger picture. However, personally not much has changed for me as my investments are long-term and I really haven't touched anything that I invested and won't for the foreseeable future. Who knows how and if crypto will have an impact when I decide to do something with it, we will have to see...

Come on, Bitcoin is not the first digital currency, and it's not even the best payment method if you're not worried about trusted third parties. Pretty much everyone in this world happily uses banks, especially now that banks have all their features on sites and apps so sending money is simple and fast.

What would I do without Bitcoin? Probably be a lot more poor than I am now. But who knows, maybe in Bitcoin's absence I would have focused on other things that would make me equally or more happy.

[trickys]

I don't think I'd miss crypto and bitcoin in particular.
This hype will eventually go away... just like MySpace and we'll forget about it and move on to something new.

People need bread and show, so crypto is our current show, especially because of lockdowns when people stayed at home.

[Masplanc]

Bitcoin has made me to know that living without any investment in life is terrible. Bitcoin has made me to be financially stable I'm not just a salary earner, I invest what comes in from my job. I will say things would have been kind of difficult to me if not for Bitcoin.

[Trojane]

Yeah, perhaps Everyone would have had something else doing ,like me at least ,maybe i would run a mega business or become a large scale agricultural entrepreneur but the point is if it wasn't in existence then i wouldn't be idle,just like when it's in existence.it's helping though
It has equally created job opportunities in quantum ; all of which you decide which field you would like to function.

[Huppercase]

You are indeed a knowledgeable person to achieve this rank despite your medical line of field, I used to hear a lot that medical guys don't usually have time for other extra extension of life to other life apart from their many vacations and a bit social life but look at you with a legendary account.
You are a motivation to myself.

How would your life had been without Bitcoin???

I got the real taste of Bitcoin when I started getting payments of my online work through crypto. When you work on online freelancer platforms like fiverr or upwork, huge money is deducted as platform fee and you get deducted payments after 15 to 20 days. With Bitcoin, I am now getting full payment, without deduction and most importantly instantly. So my life is completely revolutionized by Bitcoin and its hard to think to live without it.

[Anguwa]

I can't imagine going back to previous life without cryptocurrency in general. Though other traditional trading of Gold and other goods will continue properly as before. But I strongly believe bitcoin and cryptocurrency will not be over for now, because it has a lot to partake on this world.

[Luffygroove]

To answer your question, "How would your life had been without Bitcoin???" of course there's nothing changed. I will just search for work in the office from 8 to 5 or probably more because I was just got unemployed at that time and God sent me an answer. But, actually, that shouldn't be the question. the question should be, How is your life now after you know about Bitcoin? cause man, it's really life-changing. I was able to buy a house for my parents because of crypto and I'm not working in the office anymore. I work flexibly. But, I won't recommend anyone to let go of their real job (if they have any) and just do crypto. I encourage people to do this as a side job, cause it's not easy and so risky.

[Rengga Jati]

Hey!!🤗🤗..  You are welcome..
Alright, but before I begin. Have you ever had this thought that how would your life been without cryptocurrency? (i.e I mean Bitcoin in particular).

My life will be the same as in 2017 before I knew Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, working offline or online, writing some articles for websites, doing affiliate, teaching English and others.
And this will lead me to work in an office until right now, probably. As usual as what I have ben there for several years.

Because could you imagine, back in those days, for you to send money to a brother/sister who lives a distant city it normally takes hours, if not days on a long distant journey, but currently now, with just few seconds everything done.👌.. Isn't that amazing? 🤗🤗

Not about this.
I mean that I am using Bitcoin and also other cryptocurrencies so far for doing trading, investment and other activities, but not  using them as a currency for payment or even transferring for someone else. I live in  a country where my family live in on area, and only need to transfer fiat using banks which is also  very fast.
And only few of my families who know about Bitcoin, mostly they are working outsides.

However, I also recognize that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency really bring differences to my life and also other people life, I ma very sure about this.
It is not only about the ways of earning money, but the way and thoughts of investment, managing assets, daily activities, and also  other kind of payment methods.

[JustinSun11]

Even if I get sick and get away from my desktop and mobile a bit, I still have to look at the market once. Since entering the crypto, I have never been without crypto for even an hour, nor can I even think of leaving it. This is something that is associated with the future. Anyone who has entered the crypto industry is ahead of the rest of the world and this means that you can do today what the rest of the people will do future.

[Patigi]

I don't think I could have been where I am  today without no bitcoin  because Bitcoin have help my life so far as my country concern no job for youth and nowhere to even find private jobs. The one that I was introduced the salary was small can't even pay off my transportation fees for a month but with aim of Bitcoin, I am now a Bounty hunter. I sit in my house with my phone and do some task and later l will be pay, so will this little payments after the task I have able to take good care of myself. In fact do my things
