Bitcoin Changing my Thoughts And Behaviors.

[Wexnident]

Pretty much Bitcoin taught me how to do my finances, what the hell does DCA even mean at one point (since I really had no idea lmao), and simple trading stuff. Never went too deep with trading cause I myself know it's not for me, but mostly learned stuff about what I should do with money. My mindset about money that is.

On another note I don't think centering your life around Bitcoin is good? I mean yes, learning about it itself is good, but it's not something that should be traded for say, your relationships with other people or your passion for other stuff. it's a medium, one that imo, is not going to replace fiat. It would, at most, be an alternative for fiat.

Hello Bitcointalk Friends,
I have noticed some changes in my life and the way I act, this made me stop evaluating my self which is a normal thing as an individual self-assessment is key to discovery and adjustment in one behavior.
Lately, I discovered I don't find any discussion that is not Bitcoin-related interesting and start loving more privacy than crowd or working with people who are not Bitcoin enthusiasm motivating.

But  this is not making you any good mate , we need to socialize we need to be with other people so we can lure them in investing here in crypto, we must do our obligation but now it looks like you are isolating your self from others.

Well, the fact is we as individuals believe we can change the way bitcoin work and the Bitcoin network but on the other hand, Bitcoin end up influencing us more than we influence Bitcoin since it is decentralized and they is nothing developers can do to change anything in the Bitcoin network.
What change have you noticed in your life since you get involved in Bitcoin I can list some of them such as changes in our Financial behavior, knowledge quest, and the way we make investment decisions.

we don't need to change actually ,but we must engage more in this conversation and we must try encouraging people around us for the betterment of this marktet.

Note:  am not talking of being addicted But getting more involved in Bitcoin-related activities and discussion with of getting the best out of this young growing industry.

Soon you will be addicted if you don't limit your wanting in crypto specially in bitcoin.

you dont need to lure people in. you dont need to do it purely for the betterment of the market.
that weak mindset is 'get someone to buy, so it can spike the price. so i can exit.

if all you are thinking about is YOUR exit plan and how you can lure people in to achieve your way of getting out. you are not really caring for bitcoin. you are sounding more like a get rich quick fiat lover just using(abusing) bitcoin, and your friends for your own goals

..
i have entertained many people and made them interested in bitcoin. not via a get rich quick scheme (i have hoards from 2012 and i have no desire to sell anytime soon, im not interested in get rich quick schemes or exit plans)

i instead show them that bitcoin is a real currency. i have bought pizza using it and when the pizza arrived they seen that bitcoin is a real currency and accepted for purchase of real stuff locally.

i then explain people dont need to invest life savings, but instead if they smoke 7 packets of cigarettes a week or buy fastfood take-out twice a week. try 6 packets and 1 take-out. and use the disposable income saved to put aside in bitcoin.

after all smoking is not an investment. thats just burning money..
after all fast food take-out just literally becomes the contents of a toilet bowl the next day.

knowing its no major loss to them and their home/life is not at risk. they see the benefits in giving it a try.
they then thank you later

As for me, it is more of a change in perspective. I no longer believe that our salvation lies in the government and the systems it provides for the people. However, I don't believe that we should get rid of the government as that can be a formula for chaos. Bitcoin can provide us a good way to slowly wean from the control of many financial institutions which got their own interests to promote which not necessarily good for the people. Bitcoin can help a lot especially in areas of transparency and empowerment which we the people must demand all the time.

Actually combination of government and Crypto is the perfect way to understand the real meaning of currencies using .
in the past we are all relying in Fiat in which government can easily manipulate , but now with the present help of crypto in our daily transaction (of course limited to the country in demand) this open all our eyes to how advantageous this is and how can make our life easier than before.
so in the end it is our benefits in which both can bring.
Using Fiat and using crypto are both beneficial and worth a thing .

Hello Bitcointalk Friends,

That makes the two of us but now am used to it and i see things normal again.

Lately, I discovered I don't find any discussion that is not Bitcoin-related interesting and start loving more privacy than crowd or working with people who are not Bitcoin enthusiasm motivating.

They say birds of the same features flock together and its just fair you mingle with people of the like minds to share and exchange your thoughts on everything crypto and just make new friends in this niche.

What change have you noticed in your life since you get involved in Bitcoin I can list some of them such as changes in our Financial behavior, knowledge quest, and the way we make investment decisions.

My investment decisions have changed, am nolonger going for assets which will take forever to return, and i have and continue learning patience which is key in everything besides crypto.

Agree.

I would advise you to keep your day jobs and hobbies though. I can understand Bitcoin (and privacy) has become a passion for you, but don't let those displace existing passions. Or you'll find that your preoccupation is less and less about what makes Bitcoin special, and more about an incentive for you to give up your existing loves. Then you'll start putting it into financial terms, then your interest becomes market oriented.

Don't judge people anyway just because they're not enthused by Bitcoin (hell, I wasn't at first).

Isn't better to stay who you are and what you are while engaging and enjoying your investments and activities here in crypto because more than anything we need both insider and outsider.

Remember that our world is not turning only for crypto but in real world also.

Don't lean your whole life inside this market because if this fails then you have nothing to turn back .

maybe something like this can happen but when we have experienced how crypto changes lives, why not make it a job.
there are many people who have been successful and can live from crypto even though this is not a guarantee either and it doesn't mean we can immediately be successful like them but with some experience and lessons I don't think it's wrong.
on the other hand we are in the real world right now it is very difficult to get a job, in my country right now let alone getting a job sometimes even when I leave the house at this time it is still limited due to a new variant of the virus that makes us still in shackles that will never end

[goldkingcoiner]

This is not a good thing, Bitcoin is just a very young payment network and currency, it's not going to change everything in the world. It's normal to be excited about something and spend a lot of time around it, but keep in mind to not let it have negative influence on your life, like abandoning your connections with people who don't share your passion, because some day you might regret it.

Bitcoin is not really all that young anymore. We have already passed the most important stage where big countries with a lot of financial influence like China and the United States of America have tried to restrict Bitcoin or even have it banned. Those attempts failed and now we have come to the next stage where countries, albeit smaller countries, like El Salvador, are adopting Bitcoin as legal tender.

So, yeah. Not at the young stage anymore at this point.

[kryptqnick]

If you don't find anything that isn't about Bitcoin interesting, I think it's a little too much. It's close to an obsession than a healthy admiration of Bitcoin. But loving privacy is okay and natural. Of course, anything that we do for a long enough time affects our behavior. For me, Bitcoin made me more aware of problems with banks and governments, with power of the few over the many. I also became more cautious about online privacy than I used to be. Moreover, I read way more economics-related content. And Bitcoin's volatility taught me to be a calmer person about financial changes. I no longer care about the exchange rate of my local fiat to USD, which is something people monitor closely because these fluctuations are very minor in comparison with what's happening on the crypto market.

Bitcoin can change your behavior when you have surplus or when you make profit, except you are talking of the bad side of bitcoin, Bitcoin is like money and when it torches you, you change totally, am not against you op for what you said but one thing i notice is that money is very thing

[Sebas.tian]

I am no longer afraid of risk in any investment i put money into in the community . I have learnt a lot from bitcoin which I will like to impact to my future wife and children so that they will never experience poverty in anywhere they will live or spend the rest of their lives. I have learnt how to obey the rules of bitcoin which has been helping me for so long and right now.
I feel like pay with bitcoin anywhere I go, even though bitcoin is not acceptable for payment but I just feel like pay with bitcoin. I value bitcoin than fiat money because fiat money don't last in my bank account compare to bitcoin that will last like 6 month or 7 month in my wallet before using it for something special.

[RILWAN]

In my opinion, it's normal the way you feel about Bitcoin because there is a popular saying that, where your money is there your heart will be. What I will advise you is to diversify your interest a little and try to get involved in other things outside cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has indeed made few changes in my life which I am proud of. The major changes it has made are as below

Bitcoin made me improvise my financial condition
Bitcoin made me focus more on my privacy
Bitcoin made me realize the importance of owning your assets

[qwertyup23]

After learning about Bitcoin I've learned about finance and investing in general(and other supplementary topics). And while I really am enthusiastic about Bitcoin, I sure like talking about other subjects that interest me as well. Bitcoin is great and all that but you shouldn't revolve your entire life around it.

Very well-put, indeed.

Bitcoin is something that was introduced in order to remove any third-parties from handling our payments/transactions. With only around 21 million planned as its supply, its inflationary value caught the attention of most people and made it as an investment for long-term. Like what most people have mentioned, they see it as the "digital-gold" where its value will continue rising.

Again, if you put your whole life into a single aspect of investing, you will definitely going to tire out eventually. Explore your options and treat it as an alternative way of earning- like what mk4 mentioned in his own words, you shouldn't revolve your entire life around it.

That's why Bitcoin is increasing in popularity, even more and more people are starting to dare to invest long-term in Bitcoin. Not only do you
have a better life when investing in Bitcoin, because Bitcoin does have a positive effect on the lives of many people. I am also no different from
most people who invest in Bitcoin, can get many benefits from Bitcoin. That's why I never hesitate to buy Bitcoins, and collect as much as I can.
For me Bitcoin makes my life easier, because not only is my economy better, I also began to understand the importance of investing and be wiser
in using the money I have. So never judge Bitcoin bad, if we haven't studied it properly. Because people hate Bitcoin, it's because they don't have
good knowledge about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is money, absolutely no doubt about it.
That's why If you see people changed because they earned more than what they have before, well guess what same thing goes when someone own their first Bitcoin 5 years ago.
Most people will feel comfortable with their financial security and freedom because they knew Bitcoin is a long term investment asset that is way too far from its peak and will give you another thousand fold profit in the next 5 - 10 years.

[GreatArkansas]

When I was introduced to Bitcoin, a lot of things happen. It helps me become financial literate, I started before to learn how things work especially in finance, how fiat works, and how Bitcoin is solving our current problem on finance.

On the personal side, I become more responsible for my funds or how I am using my funds, crypto-related or non-crypto-related.

[nullama]

By learning about Bitcoin I started to learn how money really works.

I had no idea about how fiat was created and managed before I started to learn about Bitcoin.
