Describe what Bitcoin has done for you

[tread93]

So here is a fun topic I think that we can all throw our two cents in (or two sats hehe )

Bitcoin has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things, and first off I'd like to start by saying that this community is a very special group of people.

Bitcoin for me has opened up an incredible amount of business opportunities since I service many of the Bitcoin ATM operators though a telecom company and provide internet services (recently there has not been a complete halt, but there is less demand since the drop for new installations) .

It has given me a peace of mind that I have control of my coin in a world where the government is after your money and wants to cut down your commissions & gains every single place that they can.

Bitcoin has generated new life lasting friendships that I cherish, and something we can all come together with in our affinity we share for this digital coin. Even with completely opposing views we can all agree on one thing, that Bitcoin is the best form of money.

It has allowed me to relish in my success, and has churned my stomach at the same time. I think the best thing that Bitcoin has done for me is to be able to HODL and weather the storm, because I have held since 2018 I've seen a few bears and bulls, and honestly that experience has made me more resilient. That experience has transcended beyond Bitcoin to the point that I am confident that I can endure through any financial burden or hardship, Lord willing.

Bitcoin has made me do my research, has made me more passionate in doing so, & has also helped me to stay ahead of the curve. I can go on and on, but I realized that I haven't really posted in a little while, and so I wanted to see what all of your thoughts are towards this.

Have a great rest of your Sunday everyone  

Cheers,

Bitcoin is everything for me. It have given me life, but my mistakes made me unable to enjoy it. Things can change and in such as a way once again expecting an opportunity same as that happened in old days.

Bitcoin have made me understand the value of money. It has also taught me not to be greedy. Because, I had good holding of tokens and I never cashed it out or changed to bitcoin. Later it went unused as there is no market anymore. So, through bitcoin I've learnt many things. Initially I now it as a coin for gambling, even I introduced to friends in the same manner. Later started to realise it's true need.

the same opportunity in the past can never be repeated. but what you need to do now is maximize your ability to be able to get what you want with bitcoin. I even had a lot of bitcoin in the past and I sold it for a very cheap price, but I don't feel sorry for doing that, because that is my bitcoin journey. Knowing bitcoin made me understand how to make good money and for future investment. Many of my friends have started following in my footsteps to start investing in bitcoin and making some trades. a lot of positive values ​​are obtained and bitcoin is the source of everything I do.

[landheer]

what bitcoin has done for me is, bitcoin has saved the economy for me and my family, because before there was bitcoin, it was very difficult in the economy, now after the presence of bitcoin, my economy has been helped, in a way I invest in bitcoin. and I think there are still a lot of people whose lives and economy are helped by the presence of bitcoin.

firstly, out of interest

Bitcoin for me has opened up an incredible amount of business opportunities since I service many of the Bitcoin ATM operators though a telecom company and provide internet services (at least up until recently & its not to a complete halt but there is less demand since the drop) .

as a boots-on-the-ground bitcoin operator. you have experience of seeing the whims of sentiment of many people.
is your ATM just a bitcoin exit (btc->fiat only) or is it a two way ATM (fiat->btc->fiat)

i understand when price goes down everyone goes into hard mode instead of sell mode. but if your ATMS are two way, have you seen any increase in fiat->btc "buys"
dont worry about answering if its just a btc exiter atm system
..

anyways
ive been into bitcoin over 10 years.
in the good old days bitcoin was fun open and free. those days were before it was mainstream deemed as currency so was free from regulations of money laws. thus it allowed alot more freedom and openness to try new things.

in recent years the money elitists have snared their grubby paws on the edges of crypto and changed it, although made it more popular, they also brought with that the regulations that caged bitcoin at the edges(money service businesses)

i personally enjoy having my wealth secured in a sort of 'off shore' system but without the need of middle men bank mangers or lawyers needing to organise my wealth. i can just set up an address and hey, presto. its secure.
i can spend it, i can pass it on to relatives without needing to concern self with taxes, inheritance laws. because while still in crypto no one needs to know anything about who owns what, bitcoin transactions never asks for identity info(ill worry about taxes whe its time to retire in a few decades)

over the years i have seen, helped, and aided many people do many things. and also seen the shady more malicious greedy side of certain people.

but in any community there is good and bad. and bitcoin is better fiat

there are indeed many business opportunities where people can set up a business without the headaches of fiat pains.. EG in fiat you need a business plan just to qualify to open a business account, which also requires a tax office registration, and a business headquarter address just to register a business before you can even get started running.(headache)

where as you can buy and sell products/services in btc and keep value in btc. and then if and when you want to go go through the fiat pains, your already one step ahead and getting the fiat stuff registered then becomes easier and affordable as you have value coming in to cover those costs. thus bitcoin is great for startups to actually start up

Service? Did you mean to say that you own a bitcoin ATM?

From the perspective of a bitcoin hobbyist, this looks impossible and too risky for an individual person to setup unless you have a LOT of money on hand. Complying with your country's regulation is another thing that needs to be considered which would then required a lawyer to do the legwork. There is also the day-to-day management and finding a suitable venue which would require again a lot of your time and resources for a single ATM machine.

Would love to see some clarification about this  

[bittraffic]

Bitcoin had made me look at the past, the history of money, and then made me look at what the future will be. I have not done it in the past, I was just carefree wandering around living on my own but venturing into Finance and Bitcoin made me see the whole world, I become aware. And this awareness, helped me come up with a plan with BTC in mind.

[Ayers]

since meeting bitcoin, it can be said that it has created a lot of new jobs for me and very good sources of income, helping me feel more comfortable with life
since investing in bitcoin, i have become more and more focused on my privacy, limiting bank deposits, instead investing and hoarding bitcoin as part of my pension later for myself
thanks to bitcoin, i learned that for a long time the banks and the government were completely in control of us and that one day they would find a way to take all our assets

[tranthidung]

Bitcoin has given me financial security. It helped me to look at online work as a new way to earn. I feel Bitcoin is one of the best things that ever happened to me.. thanks to Bitcoin and family of bitcoiners here.

Too much bitcoin has been given to me, the memorable thing that bitcoin has given me is a very valuable experience, before I knew bitcoin I often spent my time playing games on my gadget, but after I got to know bitcoin my life has changed, My finances have started to improve, even though I am not a billionaire but at least I no longer need to work day and night to support my family.

Very extraordinary. I also feel a better life after getting to know Bitcoin even though I'm still not a rich person. But my time is no longer wasted on unimportant things after knowing Bitcoin and also after knowing Bitcoin has made me to set time to more important things in order to live comfortably and peacefully because I have so many things work in life after knowing Bitcoin.

[peter0425]

Bitcoin brings me something that any Jobs I have in the past did not offer , I remember when I was still new in this field  I gather good payments from my previous jobs but Bitcoin ? gives me more than that, but also the negative side is that Bitcoin also teach  me how to become addicted gambling since I learn to gamble in crypto .
so meaning there are both advantage and  disadvantage , it helps me to gain and it helps me to lose so maybe it is not that best or better at all.

[Markinzo]

The knowledge have gotten about Bitcoin have made me understand the direction the world economy is heading to in the next two decades from now, I mean I am more informed than a normal dude along the street without crypto knowledge.

Ever since, my trading and savings pattern haven't been same as everything I now do, I always have the future in mind.

[Beparanf]

Because of Bitcoin, I learn how to gamble and play different games that I can’t do on IRL before since I’m underage back then. I’m not thanking Bitcoin for learning gambling because I loss a significant amount during my newbie day but I’m thanking Bitcoin for giving me this unique experience that I might do if ever I didn’t encounter Bitcoin during my college days.

I earn huge amount by just being an early investors of top marketcap coins that change my life and give me support during my first job hunt after I graduate in college. We are not reach so I don’t have enough funds to cover my initial expenses for my job. Without Bitcoin, I think I’m still working on a minimum wage job since I will just use my salary to cover my daily expenses and no chance to save for my future.

[Strongkored]

Surely everyone's experience about BItcoin is different, for me Bitcoin provides many things that I never thought of before and luckily I first found out about Bitcoin before other people around me and bitcoin also provides quite a lot of income for me because I can earn money, from faucets it was very early and so on.
For now Bitcoin is my way of saving and collecting it and buying and paying for my needs.

[samuraijin]

I got to know bitcoin in 2015, where I was new to airdrops and faucets and got my first income there, when the following year at the end of 2016 I just tried the bounty, maybe there I started to get a big income from the Bounty thread, because there are many projects who are really qualified to get to know bitcoin more deeply, and at that time I tried to play trading with my income from the bounty to continue to grow every year, so that was the moment where I learned and explored bitcoin which has the potential to become a digital currency first in the world..

[alik111]

Bitcoin has done a lot of opportunities for me in my student life. I made a passive income through Bitcoin trading and spend them in my student life which made my student life more easy.

[yazher]

I thank God to show me the way to this community where I learn a lot of legit information about bitcoins and other crypto-related topics. Because when I was new to bitcoin, it was really not a praise-worthy experience because I was scammed by a cloud mining site that was popular at that time and I thought bitcoin was just some fraud until I get here. I learn here the right use of it and the main reason why it is created and begin my journey until it became one of the reasons why I managed to get through the pandemic last 2 years.

[m2017]

Bitcoin has given me financial security. It helped me to look at online work as a new way to earn. I feel Bitcoin is one of the best things that ever happened to me.. thanks to Bitcoin and family of bitcoiners here.

In my case, I would say that bitcoin helped me get a completely different idea about finances and managing it. Also, in the possibility of technology and the inevitability of the onset of progress and changes in all spheres of life, including in the field of finance. The most amazing phenomenon, the thought I realized, was the ability to send-receive bitcoin anywhere in the world, which still seems like real magic to me and is ideal for online work, which amishmanish is talking about above. Undoubtedly, "getting acquainted" with bitcoin is one of the most significant events in the life of everyone in this community. I don't just think so, I'm sure.

[piebeyb]

With bitcoin I can meet my daily needs and learn a lot about the technology in bitcoin including other cryptocurrencies too, I have held bitcoin for a long time until it hits the price of $100k I will sell some of mine to enjoy my old age

[Agbe]

As for me I have not seen the bitcoin ATM so I do not know how its work.  And I came to this forum as a novice, there was no knowledge about bitcoin but 2015 I attended a cryptocurrency seminar and the knowledge was not utilized as for then till last year December when a fellow introduced bitcointalk for and I registered in it. From there (that moment) I began to learn cryptocurrency, mostly bitcoin even after the registration I was not serious about the stuff until February this year and as I became serious with the forum I come to learn fast. Though I was criticized on various threads but I wore a thick skin as users advised and encouraged me. And today I am well respected and doing well in my locality. After my university I was waiting for the government to provide a well paying job for me to start life but ironically, it does not come to pass so I have to struggle on my own. And the forum helps me out and today I am a employer of labour https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5391471.60. There are a lot of things bitcoin has done for me. I am a teacher of bitcoin in my locality. but in schools and church.

[uneng]

Bitcoin has introduced me to an entire new world and I'm thankful for bitcoin and bitcointalk forum because they helped me at the beginning of my financial life, not only allowing me to earn money, but also raising my confidence in myself and giving me an opportunity to manage my funds from zero. It has been a learnship since I was firstly guided into bitcoin. When you adopt bitcoin you feel closer to technology, what means you are closer to the future and one step ahead of most people around you. It's like you are having access to a technology that doesn't exist for other people, besides a very small group of enthusiasts splitted in the entire world.

Basically I think I could say bitcoin has made me confident and proud, without the need of being recognized by the local society which only cares about status and appearance. It's like a secret badget only you know how important and substantial it is.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

One thing I know for sure is that there is absolutely no active user on this forum who would say he or she has not benefited immensely from bitcoin.
Bitcoin brought with it opportunities,  financial support and freedom,  full control over your money ~ this is if you are holding on a non-custodial wallet , Bitcoin has changed the world of money, how we see and spend it.
I personally have earned a better live for myself and my family through all the opportunities bitcoin brought my way.
If I was to describe in full,  all that bitcoin have done for me,  the entire forum won't be enough to contain my story  ,  but I am cutting the whole story short with a simple but straightforward sentence, and that is - Bitcoin is good.

When it comes to benefits - there no doubt on that
When it comes to utility/usage - there's no also doubt on that.

All of us could really able to get that benefit but of course it would be depending on how you do make out investment and how you do make hard work on accumulating bitcoin or crypto
as a whole which it could really put you into a situation where you do able to make yourself on that financial state which is something far more better compared into the past taking
you are into.You could able to differentiate things!

[virasisog]

Bitcoin has taught me to be a risk taker and to value the importance of investment. I was once afraid of Bitcoin investment and doubted it a lot of times but time made me realize that it's an opportunity that I should grab and not avoid. Bitcoin opened lots of opportunities for me and I'm grateful that I learned how to invest and prepare for my family's future despite its risk. BTC has proven to me also that it could offer different services to make life more convenient. I definitely don't want to miss the opportunity to make a profit from Bitcoin investment so I always make sure that I'm accumulating and buying it as much as I could during this season.

[Captain Corporate]

Honestly, the creativity in this field is the thing that I love the most and earned from the most. Because in a world with absolutely no crypto, my life was so limited and my options were so limited. With the crypto world, I have earned money in ways that I have never guessed and would have never even had the talent for it neither, and wouldn't know where to look and find these jobs. Here, I managed to make money and earned a good living and I am quite happy about it, this allowed me to have a life where I am doing fine financially, and I do not know if it will go on like this, but I hope that I never get a life without crypto in it ever again. Once you get in, its impossible to fully get out.

[isaac_clarke22]

Kind of similar to you, OP. Though for me it was just a simple p2p businesses with my social circle that are purely into  Bitcoin because otherwise they would surely offer a lower-valued coins or even worse... a shitcoin.
I sold quite few small PC hardware and offered them to pay me through Bitcoin.
There were some personal tests involved so they are rest assured that they are going to get what they paid for.

If I didn't pursue Bitcoin and this wonderful industry, I would still remain a very big disappointment to my family as well as not paying my debts, etc. It's just that I have regretted ignoring Bitcoin years ago when I was being introduced in early 2014 where I have first created this account here on Bitcointalk.

More than 3 years later, I have decided to start getting serious on Bitcoin after it crossed $10k for the first time back then. I learned about crypto trading and other ways of making money like airdrops, bounty hunting, etc.

Until now I am still blessed in many ways because of not giving up in crypto despite the ups and downs.

[famososMuertos]

Bitcoin offers an individual empowerment that makes us forget what we as a collective can achieve.

Perhaps in your argument you ask yourself in the past tense, what has bitcoin done for me (you) but the reality is that I keep hoping for what it could offer as a financial and social tool in that change that we expected in its original idea.

That if I was able to buy this or that thing, that if an ATH made me earn money, among others that obviously matter, but I think that as a technological tool available to anyone who can prioritize it and be able to make that paradigm shift, it's great for me.

So bitcoin is present for me not only in the material benefit but also in that ideal of knowing that others are incorporated every day to the feasible change of a new social, economic empowerment.

[sunsilk]

Too many things and I can't drop all of them in here since when we say too many or a lot, they certainly a lot of things. But to name a few, about the idea that we're getting to know how the market works not just particular in bitcoin but also had given us the idea about how other market works.

Had taught us to get the idea of economics and other certain knowledge that's reliant to the same topic. I'm no great into these fields but through bitcoin, it had given me that idea and knowledge despite admitting that I'm not great.

But bitcoin became the way to make me learn those things.

[ChiBitCTy]

What up brotha. Well as you know I’m a financial advisor and that’s how I found / came across the world of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. What it’s done for me is open up an alternative to the banking industry that I know to be utterly corrupt through and though. Bitcoin gives “banking” access to every single person on the planet, not just those who have enough money or good enough credit. That’s the biggest thing it’s done to me, bank the unbanked.

[Rengga Jati]

2017 was a very tough year in my early marriage, have no job and only lay our life with some savings because I resigned from my previous job. That was a very hard time.
I started to learn and accept altcoins at first. It was very hard to earn money from cryptocurrency at that time. I tried learning much in the cryptocurrency world but nothing even after more than 1 year. But, I kept learning and learning. WHile I focused on cryptocurrency word, I had a job as a content writer so it is quite enough to feed our family.
And after focusing more on crypto and more on Bitcoin, this really shows me the right way of investing and trading. No need to get much money, although the profit first was very small, in fact, this really led me to try more and more, to learn much more about trading and investment in Bitcoin. Until now, I am still learning because there are so many new information related to crypto.
SUrely, Bitcoin and crypto really change my life and my family codnitin. This gives me much and let me to realize our dream through Bitcoin.

[sheenshane]

There are too many of them and it's a long story if I drop it all here.

In general, I really appreciate that I found Bitcoin, though it wasn't early as it was a creation day at least it makes a my life change and everything.
From the word "decentralized" until such it has a rule of "Not your keys, Not your coins" which is what I've learned a lot.  Financial freedom was an outstanding achievement that I met when I was found Bitcoin and also be thankful that I'm here in the forum which I think I'm also being a part of history soon.

To tell you frankly, I didn't regret Bitcoin came into my life.

[TravelMug]

Financial freedom? I was here early 2017 and I witnessed the bull run, but I will admit that I was too green that time. But when the bearish cycle enter in March-May 2018, it just gives me the idea to save that time. And then the crash happen, Covid-19 and all that stuff. But I still maintain that goal to save at least an X amount of BTC which I eventually did and sold at almost the top. And now starting all over again, and let's see if I can do that again and what will be my exit strategy then.

[libert19]

Bitcoin brought me into world of cryptos and it's earning opportunities which helps me make a living.

(^ this is how spammers comment, but I swear it's true)

[Asiska02]

Bitcoin hasn't done a lot for me, but I wouldn't claim it hasn't taught me anything either. I got introduced to this forum just as I was getting ready to embrace bitcoin. I was fortunate to be educated about bitcoin by the person who first brought me here, so I didn't find it difficult to cope with and get along with the activities here and the bitcoin market itself. I didn't have any trouble understanding because he is a fantastic teacher. I haven't been able to fully invest in bitcoin, but I hope to someday. In the meantime, I'm learning more about the market. For the time being, I'm learning more about the market and how to avoid being disappointed when I lose money in it. I'm getting ready mentally for what will happen when I invest fully in bitcoin, whenever I'm ready to do it with my money.

[hZti]

Bitcoin is a great hobby for me, nothing less or more

Can you explain more how bitcoin has earnings opportunities, since as far as I can see it, you can only make money with investing so far and thats kind of hard in the last month

Bitcoin made me come across whole world of crypto which has earning opportunities.

[Cookdata]

Only little exposure I had about the economy, bitcoin research has made me break boundaries of knowledge and expose me to things I don't know, Bitcoin has thought me things the government has been hiding from the public especially the free room of freedom for all. Bitcoin has thought me to be independent of banks, it has reflected what it is to be a bank instead of depending on any traditional institution to facilitate my payments, it has removed the restriction of middle men and lastly, I am more exposed to the techniques of bitcoin. If you ask me, I will say Bitcoin is just an unending beauty, the more you look at it every day, the more you want to get a hold of at least one in your wallet.

[darewaller]

I personally get a joy out of the fact that I do not have to live a life that is similar to any other "regular" people. Wake up in the morning, shave, bus ride to work, then work for 8 hours, then bus ride to home, and have very small time frame to do something, and end up working like that until you die.

Thanks to crypto, I have a life that no other friend of mine ever has, which is being fully at home, and having a chance to actually make a living in my pijamas. That's the type of world that I always wanted to live in, not directly this but basically "not what everyone else does" and this fits that concept. This is 100% all thanks to crypto and not something I achieved myself alone.

[GiftedMAN]

Bitcoin has given me financial security. It helped me to look at online work as a new way to earn. I feel Bitcoin is one of the best things that ever happened to me.. thanks to Bitcoin and family of bitcoiners here.

 Knowing Bitcoin is one of the best things that can happen to anyone and until one has financial security which is one of the things that Bitcoin gives, then the person is yet to understand Bitcoin. I am also an example of this and I see Bitcoin as not just a financial liberty but the best financial creator for anyone who understands and applies it's knowledge. Am new here but everything about my thinking changed since I was introduced to Bitcoin and this community, Bitcoin is the best thing I have encountered so far because it has changed my financial status.

[JayTrain]

for me, bitcoin is something interesting and innovative, where you can read huge volumes of information in this area and this is interesting for me, plus it is an additional tool for passive income, if you do it correctly and weigh all the risks.

[tread93]

Wow! There is so much feedback. These are all great and I'm glad to see the positivity!

[Jeger.Kiting]

I was very happy to know Bitcoin at that time, Bitcoin has changed my life in the past and he has fulfilled my life's needs but there is one thing that makes me regret, because I did not open any business, indeed this is my fault who always prioritizes and wants what I want. So at that time I couldn't do anything to guarantee my future life.

[Detritus]

I have heard about Bitcoin since 2012 but I paid less attention to it. With Bitcoin being the first cryptocurrency and the massive growth 💹 it has attain, I began to develop full interest. In 2013 i understood more about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency in general and that was same year I was gifted 3 Bitcoin by friend who was a miner. Bitcoin has opened me to lots of opportunities in the crypto space, for example;
  1. I have been contracted on different occasions to lecture some group of people on cryptocurrency investment.
 2. I am not 100% financially free but I am financially independent and that's because I was able to see through some other good projects that I Invested on and had some good profit.
 3. I got to know about this forum because I learnt about Bitcoin, I believe there are more good knowledge and opportunities am yet to gain in this forum.
 4. if I never heard a basic knowledge about Bitcoin, I don't think I would have believe in investing in other projects. Perhaps I believe in other projects because of the example Bitcoin has set.

I agree as will many, it gives us autonomy over our wealth, I believe as people investigate Bitcoin
a world of knowledge opens up to them about finances and the FIAT system.

That is exactly what happened to me. When I first embraced Bitcoin it started my journey
into learning about finances and more importantly opened my eyes as to the differences between
FIAT and Bitcoin and how the middle man is surplus to requirements.

There is so much to learn about FIAT, personal finances, payment processes, security etc,
Without Bitcoin I doubt I would be any the wiser now.

What I am today or right now is everything because of bitcoin. I am really grateful to my God that he gave someone the idea that he could create bitcoin for us, and I am thankful to him that he has given me the right direction to choose bitcoin. Look, you can say I am talking about God. Yeah, but actually I am religious and I believe everything that happened to us was by him. And I believed him that whatever he was doing was right and for our good. And I don't want to say more. I think this is enough from my side. Thank you.

[Sterbens]

Maybe you can say I am one of the very lucky people to get to know bitcoin today. Because around me there are still many people who cloud bitcoin. I don't know how much I get from here, I'm not accumulating for sure. But for sure I have a better life after knowing bitcoin, especially in financial terms. I think this is the same experience many people have regarding bitcoin.

[Republikcoin.com]

for me, bitcoin is something interesting and innovative, where you can read huge volumes of information in this area and this is interesting for me, plus it is an additional tool for passive income, if you do it correctly and weigh all the risks.

For me Bitcoin is a valuable asset that can provide benefits, although it also has risks at certain times. But for me Bitcoin is a valuable asset and also a very good cryptocurrency for everyone because the benefits are clear and it is always easier to store it in a wallet. In addition, Bitcoin can also be used to trade on all existing exchanges and use it to earn additional and passive income as you mean.

[bbc.reporter]

Bitcoin brought me into world of cryptos and it's earning opportunities which helps me make a living.

(^ this is how spammers comment, but I swear it's true)

Can you explain more how bitcoin has earnings opportunities, since as far as I can see it, you can only make money with investing so far and thats kind of hard in the last month

Bitcoin made me come across whole world of crypto which has earning opportunities.

This is a complete honest answer. Bitcoin is giving all of the users access to loans for small collateral that we can use for investment and trading across the cryptospace. This is in the form of leveraged trading. There are some people in bitcointalk.org that have declared it as gambling, however, on 2020 I am quite certain many of you wished you can borrow money to invest in the beginning of the bull market. This is where trading with leverage can become helpful. Leverage is a loan guarantee from the exchange.

So here is a fun topic I think that we can all throw our two cents in (or two sats hehe )

Bitcoin has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things, and first off I'd like to start by saying that this community is a very special group of people.

Bitcoin for me has opened up an incredible amount of business opportunities since I service many of the Bitcoin ATM operators though a telecom company and provide internet services (recently there has not been a complete halt, but there is less demand since the drop for new installations) .

It has given me a peace of mind that I have control of my coin in a world where the government is after your money and wants to cut down your commissions & gains every single place that they can.

Bitcoin has generated new life lasting friendships that I cherish, and something we can all come together with in our affinity we share for this digital coin. Even with completely opposing views we can all agree on one thing, that Bitcoin is the best form of money.

It has allowed me to relish in my success, and has churned my stomach at the same time. I think the best thing that Bitcoin has done for me is to be able to HODL and weather the storm, because I have held since 2018 I've seen a few bears and bulls, and honestly that experience has made me more resilient. That experience has transcended beyond Bitcoin to the point that I am confident that I can endure through any financial burden or hardship, Lord willing.

Bitcoin has made me do my research, has made me more passionate in doing so, & has also helped me to stay ahead of the curve. I can go on and on, but I realized that I haven't really posted in a little while, and so I wanted to see what all of your thoughts are towards this.

Have a great rest of your Sunday everyone

Hello everyone!

I just signed  up to this forum to look for a solution to my Bitcoin problem. I am getting frustrated and depressed because of this situation. I recently invested my hard earned money in a Crypto Trading Company, and I did not do my research diligently before  investing.  I invested in June of 2022 and after two weeks they said that I can claim my profit in the form of Bitcoin and  it was listed in my Coingecko Bitcoin portfolio holdings, but until now I have no idea how to withdraw my token. I did not know that they are not a wallet and exchange company.  The crypto company I invested in, they already deleted my account and I can't  access it anymore, this company makes me believe about this token. I am so lost and so sad. I thought investing in Bitcoin will make my life better and would help me become financially independent but it is not. It become my worst nightmare, it makes me more financially troubled due to the lost of my savings. I wasn't able to pay some of my bills.

If anyone can help me figure this out that would be great.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

[xSkylarx]

Bitcoin has been a big help to me to finish my studies in college by participating bounty campaigns on this forum. I was able to pay some of my tuition fees during those times where we are struggling financially. It thought me at an early age that it is really not easy to earn money. I was able to met a lot of people online who share opportunities to earn even if it's not related to crypto. Bitcoin is also the one that thought me what assets can be a good investment aside from crypto.

[lienfaye]

Bitcoin made me realize that saving in Bitcoin is much better than saving your money in banks.

Bitcoin let us manage our own finances without having worries that your account might get freeze or restricted. Plus the convenient way of sending money wherever you are. More than that is the opportunity to earn when you invest. I've said this before, in Bitcoin I experience to earn huge that I never experience in any of the job I had. Thats why im happy to become part of community who are lucky to engage themselves in Bitcoin.

[uchegod-21]

Bitcoin has not actually done something directly for me but this forum has done for me. This forum taught me about bitcoin and how to be smart generally in life. Also this forum taught me not to believe every gabage information I got randomly. It taught me to always DMOR and filter the information I will accept and the one to reject.

The forum also helped me to earn even when I wasn't long in the forum, I started earning when I was a member, yahoo62278 hired me to work for Gamdom and later Hhampuz hired me for Duelbits and later I joined roobet, it is all good experience and nice memories.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

For me, Bitcoin has actually done a whole lot of things for me, and the very one  which I will never forget is been able to enable me touch the lives of some random poor kids in my community, of which it was just my little act of kindness to give to those who can't afford a better life in the society, of which I was able to create a thread on it, explaining how the whole process went on successfully.
So here is a link to the thread if you don't mind checking..

We cannot deny the fact that it is truly giving us an earning opportunity. The price volatility is just insane that you can imagine how many people could have been holding Bitcoin since 2017 until it managed to just reached 64k like last year if my memory serves me right.
Let's also count those who are doing day trading.

[Slow death]

in my case bitcoin allowed me to have my business and do a lot in the real world, it was and is being a great journey thanks to bitcoin, with bitcoin i was able to know the sports betting in which i have a lot of fun every day, they are things i do with very like. Of course when the price of bitcoin drops a lot while I forgot to put the stop-loss I get angry, but when the price goes up a lot and I make a profit I celebrate, I learned a lot thanks to bitcoin and it's even strange that an internet currency can change life of so many people

Not all are traders but rather be holders and this is an another way for us to benefit out this volatile price which you could really make profits if you do know on how to play with the waves.
If you do know to utilize these movements then you could really see that it could really give out some positive effects on your life in terms of finances but of course not all the times
you would really be ending up on positive because there are certain risk which you could potentially lose money instead this is why you should really be still careful when it comes into
your investment decisions because it could neither be ending up on having positive or negative outcome.

[TelolettOm]

Honestly, I am not owing 1BTC so far even though it is accumulated. But with only a few BTC, I really can make my life better. So far, I got BTC from trading at first but the profit is not really high, just so so enough. However, after getting the payment method in BTC, this is really amazing. I can save more BTC for long-term investment and also be able to fulfill more needs in my life. Although I am not using BTC directly for saving my life, at least this is able to help me to cover some of my needs and also to prepare for future investment. BTC is special for me.

in my case bitcoin allowed me to have my business and do a lot in the real world, it was and is being a great journey thanks to bitcoin, with bitcoin i was able to know the sports betting in which i have a lot of fun every day,

This is great to see more uses for Bitcoin. I really want o make it for business, but honestly it is still not able to use it in my country, moreover use this directly. It is needed to convert to fiat at first.

[adzino]

Bitcoin for me has opened up an incredible amount of business opportunities since I service many of the Bitcoin ATM operators though a telecom company and provide internet services (at least up until recently & its not to a complete halt but there is less demand since the drop) .

Service? Did you mean to say that you own a bitcoin ATM?

From the perspective of a bitcoin hobbyist, this looks impossible and too risky for an individual person to setup unless you have a LOT of money on hand. Complying with your country's regulation is another thing that needs to be considered which would then required a lawyer to do the legwork. There is also the day-to-day management and finding a suitable venue which would require again a lot of your time and resources for a single ATM machine.

Would love to see some clarification about this  

Since he never answered to you, let me clarify on his behalf. If you read his post again, you will see that he provides "services" to the bitcoin ATM operators. Probably helps them install the ATM and provides them with technical help. He did mention that he provides them internet connection.. so I am guessing he maintains those ATMs for the providers.

It is not impossible to setup your own ATM machine and the risk is surprisingly less. I don't think you have to invest a lot of cash because I doubt anyone would withdraw fiat or buy a large amount of coins from an ATM (because of the high fees). Owners don't have to hold BTC hence they are safe from volatility. They only need cash money. When users sell them bitcoin, they buy it cheaper from them and converts it to fiat currency. When users buy bitcoin from them, the operators buy the bitcoin from an instant exchange and sell it to the user at a price little higher than market price.

[Ultegra134]

Despite having joined in 2014, I was a lurker and went inactive shortly after, something which I regret. Firstly, Bitcoin introduced me to this great community, and I've come across several great members who are always willing to help you, I've received assistance in multiple topics without them asking for something in return. Secondly, I've gained knowledge regarding a variety of subjects, including cryptocurrencies, assisting me in making a decent profit in the long run and has resulted into my financial stability. If it wasn't for Bitcoin, I don't know what I'd do, since my available income has shrunk due to inflation.

[jostorres]

Bitcoin is a great hobby for me, nothing less or more 

Bitcoin brought me into world of cryptos and it's earning opportunities which helps me make a living.

(^ this is how spammers comment, but I swear it's true)

Can you explain more how bitcoin has earnings opportunities, since as far as I can see it, you can only make money with investing so far and thats kind of hard in the last month

But, can you also explain why on why bitcoin is considered to be a hobby? You also ask on why bitcoin is an earning opportunity but you already answered that it can be used for investing. Since when investing is easy? Investing is always hard because it requires you to have a self control to resist the temptation of selling once you saw a significant price increase or when the price is collapsing.

Bitcoin is mainly known as a currency but its use is not only limited there. Many people like to treat it as an asset too. Other than investing you can also do trading and this is perfect for the people like you that seem to have a lack of patience.

I feel that way too, there were many moments where in 2017, I made a completely unexpected income, entered a bounty campaign and tried to play trading and enter bitcoin prediction competitions, and made money that I had not received from my real life work. , bitcoin really changed my economy, I really hope it will happen again..

[BD Crypto]

To be honest Bitcoin has done a lot of wishes fulfilled for mine. Like I wanted to learn about crypto currency and wanted to be an user of digital currencies and wanted to make some passive income.And I want to learn more about Bitcoin and Crypto.

[kryptqnick]

Because of Bitcoin, I learned a lot more about banks, fiat, and about economics in general, so that I can understand the differences between Bitcoin and other things better. These are things that IMO everyone should know but most people don't, even most of educated people. I also became a more chill person because of all the volatility and coming at peace with it. It helps both with Bitcoin and with fiat disturbances because I perceive volatility much calmer now. Bitcoin also made me more aware of financial freedom and privacy (and lack thereof).

Yes exactly, I learned that it is more safe to invest in crypto rather than investing in banks, I mean not really safe to the fact that you will not be losing any money, but the thing is it is safe because it is traceless most of the banks in our country has not improve their security for ages, they don't spend too much time and effort improving security, there's a lot of flaws in the system that cryptocurrency answer. That's why I more prefer to be paid in crypto when I am doing my freelance work because it is safe and secure rather than in my bank.

I don't think that the issue with bank investment programs is safety, but the extremely disappointing yield they offer. Especially for deposits, which have less than 0.01% interest, earning a few euros at max every three/six months. Even time deposits a few years ago, when they were a lot more popular, provided you with less than 1% interest, nowadays, you'll be lucky if you even get 0.10% on your deposit.

It's extremely rare to lose money due to bank security issues, and even if such an incident occurs, you're likely to be reimbursed, unless it was purely your fault (e.g. phising victim).

[kotajikikox]

Bitcoin made me more responsible about my financial and assets , Have understand how important the privacy is and how important my freedom in holding my coins.

I remember that before this crypto? I only keep my funds in banks and also in some trading platform that assures me no complete safeties.

With bitcoin? now i have my funds safe from government interfering  and with knowledge from crypto Now i know how to earn more from Holding than Buying or selling .

To be honest Bitcoin has done a lot of wishes fulfilled for mine. Like I wanted to learn about crypto currency and wanted to be an user of digital currencies and wanted to make some passive income.And I want to learn more about Bitcoin and Crypto.

really? dreaming to learn about crypto? bitcoin already represent crypto lol.

[dlightag]

Bitcoin has come to stay in the ecosystem, and it has empower many people in one way in other, like wise me, I have benefits from Bitcoin through investment and trading from other Alt-coin that gives me profits, which I used to set up business in my area, as my delay source of income. Having said that Bitcoin is the best investment in the world.

[Nrcewker]

I invest a huge amount in Bitcoins at 2016, and finally able to cash out easy money when BTC hit 10k usd.
I remember when my family was in need of some money, I was able to help them with some Bitcoins I had.
Bitcoins has done many things for me, and i really thank satoshi for this amazing creation.
For these Bitcoins, I am now independent with my own money and I need not have to pay tax to any government.
Excited to hear other people’s story also.

[tjtonmoy]

Curiosity about BTC has taken me this far. And I won't say I have learned enough, But for whatever I have learned, I can say that I'm in love with BTC as well as other crypto. This is totally a new world and i'm loving it so much. Still learning, and the more I learn, the more it gets attractive.

[bitzizzix]

It's actually hard to put into words what bitcoin has done for me.
in its journey bitcoin has made my life better, safer, more comfortable and besides being able to help my family and friends bitcoin can also realize my wishes and plans.
1. I have a motorbike from bitcoin.
2. I can get married and party because of bitcoin.
3. Bitcoin can meet my needs with my wife and parents until now and hopefully continue and more than that.
4. Unexpected events and very precarious situations bitcoin can help me in the payment process for the birth of my first child, and you can read about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5401052.0#msg60271061 and this is the story which is very touching for me.

[boris singer]

bitcoin has done a lot for me, especially financial problems, since I got to know bitcoin my financial problems have improved, loans have been paid off one by one, I was lucky to be introduced to bitcoin, I can work online without having to leave my children

I also feel this way, so I really believe in bitcoin.
I feel that my life is now quite good with what I received from knowing bitcoin.
Although I can't say I'm rich right now but when I see my financial condition that I can buy anything I need I think this is quite good compared to a few years ago when I didn't know bitcoin.

[qwertyup23]

Imagine living in a third-world country where job opportunities are highly competitive with minimum wages that pay $10-$13/day. In addition, inflation has reached a high 5.1% in the country where prices of goods and general commodities are continuously increasing. That is the life of an average Filipino worker who lives just at the average income threshold.

When my friend introduced to me Bitcoin, this provided me not only the opportunity to learn about its revolutionary payment method, but it also gave me the privilege of working online. The fact that campaign signatures pay very decently (at least relative to my standards) is truly a blessing not to be taken for granted.

As someone who also lives with a single father in a family of 5, majority of my BTC proceeds are allocated to my brothers, being the eldest among the 3. Campaign signatures provided me this opportunity to purchase my own work materials and also help my father whenever he needs something.

[blockman]

I remember when my family was in need of some money, I was able to help them with some Bitcoins I had.

and also help my father whenever he needs something.

I can relate to you guys. Profit made from bitcoin and those that I've held a long time ago, when we're in need, I used them and sold them. No hard feelings regardless of the price because even if the profit is not that much still it's a profit, right? All I can say is that bitcoin has helped all of us with our personal lives and helped our families not just for the payments but also by being volatile as an asset and investment. It has made most of us like economists and financial experts of our own portfolios.

[stomachgrowls]

Same here which there are things which i can indeed buy but not on some sort of luxury things but on things which i cant able to afford before and thanks to Bitcoin which does really give that kind of

opportunity or chance at least on making out some changes in my life in towards financial status which im very thankful but of course these things cant be achieved nor acquired without doing any efforts.

Of course you would really be needing to exert effort and give time on what you are doing here on this crypto space because money cant flow in if  you arent doing anything or something
but much sure that Bitcoin or crypto market could really give out those kind of probabilities or chances on someone.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Bitcoin (the currency) has helped me settle transactions privately, quickly, more cheaply, and more importantly: it has given me the ability to opt-out from a corrupted system whose monetary policy humans are capable of abusing, and do abuse often.

Bitcoin (the network) has incentivized me to learn more about technical subjects I didn't know before. Therefore, I have broadened my horizons and I'm now more enthusiasted around cryptography, networks and computer science in general.

Bitcoin (the community) has pushed me to learn about informatics, economics, sociology, politics and perhaps even philosophy to a certain degree.

but much sure that Bitcoin or crypto market could really give out those kind of probabilities or chances on someone.

This is definitely a change that is quite noticeable because indeed I felt before when I wanted something but it was difficult to get it because of my financial limitations and compared to where I am now when knowing and being in Crypto it was much better.

As for this, of course we are aware that learning and always doing research are important because we cannot be naive to say that crypto is a comfortable place because the fact is not like that.
Continuous learning here does not make you lose, it makes you more aware that with the theory that the longer we master it coupled with the experience while you are here you become more and more aware that we are still lacking and must continue to learn so that we can achieve something better when in Crypto.

[Welsh]

I'm glad to see some users claiming that it hasn't changed their life all that much. That's the thing with Bitcoin, it gets built up like its a miracle worker, and don't get me wrong for a lot of people it has been revolutionary, however not everyone has the same objectives.

For example, the benefits that Bitcoin bring like not relying on a third party, can actually have drawbacks if you're a certain type of person. I don't like to give this example, but I sometimes find that the older generation are much more comfortable with trusting a bank, simply because they haven't kept up with technology, and therefore don't trust themselves to manage their own money, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Someone like me on the other hand, are incredibly suspicious of banks, and find their additional checks, and process too long. I've had payments flagged up, which I then had to confirm my identity, and all of that, but with Bitcoin I can just pay without those additional checks. At the end of the day, it's my money, that I legally earned, so I shouldn't have to go through additional checks. Obviously, I do understand why they do it, it's to prevent fraud, and unauthorised use of your card or bank, but that's something I'd like to be able to opt out of, which you can't with every major bank I've used.

Obviously, that's just one example of the restrictions imposed by using a third party like a bank, but there's many more which either suit a person or don't. Bitcoin hasn't made me stinking rich, but it has aided the life I wanted to have, and by that I mean more freedom, not because I've got more money, but because I ultimately control every aspect about my finances.

[hyudien]

Exactly, Bitcoin has fulfilled what I expected for a long time which I didn't get from real income. Bitcoin is a dream come true. I, you, and everyone who has benefited from Bitcoin have always made Bitcoin a hero. To be honest, it is more appropriate to improve the lives and economy of many people. I had a neighbor who at that time was living in poverty, and was kicked out of his family. 2017 changed his life 180 degrees. The answer is only one which is all thanks to believing in Bitcoin. That person is still alive today, do you know his current life? yes, he became the only richest person in the area I live.

Quite frankly, I’ve only been in a few months in crypto and Bitcoin hasn’t done any remarkable thing for me yet other than dipping my money lol. But I know there’s a lot in the space and there are still areas to explore and use to my advantage. I’m optimistic and I believe I’d start reaping soon. So far so get, I’ve had to calm down to do a lot of reading, learning about investment, risks and all of that. 

[Abiky]

I'd say Bitcoin has completely changed my life ever since I've discovered it in late 2014. Not only I became a privacy-aware person, but I also learned how to better manage my finances. Because I've joined a signature campaign, I became motivated to browse through the forums and learn all about crypto/Blockchain tech. If it wasn't because of Bitcoin, I wouldn't been as financially independent as I am now.

Back then, I was frustrated with banks' hidden fees and the time it took to transfer money across borders. With Bitcoin, I no longer had that issue since I was able to send money at a cheaper cost within minutes (instead of days). Kudos to Satoshi for making sound money that enables people to be their own bank. Who knows if someday Bitcoin replaces Fiat in its entirety?

[budi691]

first of all Bitcoin changed my life a lot in terms of economy, friendship and family,
2017 is the place where I first got to know Bitcoin, I got Bitcoin from bounty campaign,
and my life changed when i know better how to use bitcoin and use it for the future,

[Adbitco]

Well sorry to say this here, after my birth, after my schooling, this forum has been the most important thing of my life I have ever come across with and, I can't really enumerates all what bitcoin has done for me but through the forum I was able to pick interest to understand fully about things that concerns bitcoin.

Bitcoin has given me a life time financial freedom and lift that no institutes or any government around my country has ever given to me. I have learnt to be patient from experience here in this forum, I have witness lots of things so I have to reserve some, although everything I does today both my feeding taking care of my wife my family, my mom and siblings are all from bitcoin.

I m thanking this forum specially for giving me that chance to read and understand what about bitcoin and I utilize every single opportunities that i have came across.
I can't say it all.

I love bitcoin.

Could be mate, but as of now, bitcoin has a long way to go before we can even say that it's already close to replacing fiats, entirely! The good thing is that it's already in the process to be in that kind of state soon and bitcoin has already been with us for more than a decade now, so it's still quite early but let's be optimistic that sooner or later, bitcoin will be used more globally.

And as for the question of OP, bitcoin has been a big help not just for me but to my family as well in terms of finances, securing money to avoid inflation, and lastly, making my transactions faster, more secure, and much cheaper. I'm honored that I became aware of bitcoin's existence since it was introduced to me way back in the year 2016.

[abdulkalam12]

Bitcoin has generated new life lasting friendships that I cherish, and something we can all come together with in our affinity we share for this digital coin. Even with completely opposing views we can all agree on one thing, that Bitcoin is the best form of money.

It has allowed me to relish in my success, and has churned my stomach at the same time. I think the best thing that Bitcoin has done for me is to be able to HODL and weather the storm, because I have held since 2018 I've seen a few bears and bulls, and honestly that experience has made me more resilient. That experience has transcended beyond Bitcoin to the point that I am confident that I can endure through any financial burden or hardship, Lord willing.

Bitcoin has made me do my research, has made me more passionate in doing so, & has also helped me to stay ahead of the curve. I can go on and on, but I realized that I haven't really posted in a little while, and so I wanted to see what all of your thoughts are towards this.

[abdulkalam12]

Bitcoin have made me understand the value of money;It has also taught me not to be greedy. Because"I had good holding of tokens and I never cashed it out or changed to bitcoin-Later it went unused as there is no market anymore. So, through bitcoin I've learnt many things. Initially I now it as a coin for gambling, even I introduced to friends in the same manner. Later started to realise it's true need;.

[Coin BTC]

Many things that Bitcoin gave me, from the beginning I got to know Bitcoin made a lot of changes in myself, from this Bitcoin I fully understand the investment of market chart movements. Actually there are several other factors I also feel from the side effects of knowing Bitcoin.

[topman21]

Bitcoin has changed my life a lot. I made my living working on Bitcoin.At one time I used to live a very unemployed life today since working in Bitcoin I am now moving in my life transparently.But at times Bitcoin has made me very emotional and at other times science has taught me to experience many mistakes.I have lost many things in my life from Bitcoin. Again I got a lot from this bitcoin.Still I appreciate this bitcoin. If it wasn't for the creation of Bitcoin, we might not be able to live such a beautiful life.

[wahyuagung26]

The goodness of Bitcoin changed many things about me, Many things I got from the introduction to Bitcoin from an economic perspective were very helpful and improved the quality of life for me and I really felt it. Not only Economics, there are many other things that Bitcoin has given me, all the knowledge that I have gained about Investing, of course, Bitcoin is very instrumental in this, providing broad insight to and very meaningful to my life.

This Bitcoin also provides friendship and communication with some strangers. I am happy with Bitcoins.

[minairia3]

This Bitcoin also provides friendship and communication with some strangers. I am happy with Bitcoins.

Speaking of which, I also had a wonderful experience of friendship with a complete stranger and we are from 2 far apart countries. Today it must be said that relationships on social networks are very virtual and cannot be trusted at all. But I was lucky to meet that friend, he is also an investor in bitcoin. At first we rarely talked because no one trusted each other, but gradually we shared more, about work, family...Until one time I was short of money and I started borrowing everywhere (friends out there) but sadly no one could lend me I had no choice but to text my bitcoin friend me to get a loan. I think he won't agree because even though we're friends we're just friends on social media and we've never met outside but surprisingly he agreed without asking too much. The amount I need is estimated at around $200, $200 might not be too much for him, but lending it to a stranger is no easy feat.
What's more interesting is that he only has bitcoin and no altcoins or stablecoins. And he told me that if I borrow bitcoin I will have to pay him but he doesnt want to take USDT or any altcoins, he just gets the exact bitcoins borrowed. I returned him about a week later and since then our friendship has grown stronger and I often share more of my life with him. Although it is not a large amount of money, it will be difficult for you to find someone to help you in difficult times and more interestingly, it was a loan from a bitcoin friend and it was also my first bitcoin loan.

[bocyaj]

If we reply to this question,it will leads to the emotional touch of our usage of bitcoin in our daily day life.I had preparing for the government exams in my country.This crypto related works and payments help me to earn some good money from it.With the help of campaign payments,I had used that coins to survive.And it was used for my study material,I had use the bitcoin to buy some books and join some additional classes .

[abel1337]

If bitcoin doesn't exist, I'm a different person from what I am now. With me discovering bitcoin helps me gain knowledge with financial security and added to being interested more on current and upcoming technology. I also earned a circle of friends with the same interest on bitcoin, Known them and test them from various market scenario. Some fled, Some take bad choices which is scamming, some of them stayed and with years of being into cryptocurrency. We've tested each other and now I know that our bond is true and we are sure that our friendship will last. I know bitcoin has done so much to us and it is more on the financial side.

[Onyacin]

Other than financial help, Bitcoin Kept me touch with technology  because Crypto is dependent on technology,It has changed not only me but created a seismic shift in society. And now the crypto isn’t exclusively in the hands (or, rather, digital wallets) of investors. Before go to bed & before taking break tea in the morning, i have to know the world economic & over all situations. It taught me hope & patience.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I'm glad to see some users claiming that it hasn't changed their life all that much. That's the thing with Bitcoin, it gets built up like its a miracle worker, and don't get me wrong for a lot of people it has been revolutionary, however not everyone has the same objectives.

For example, the benefits that Bitcoin bring like not relying on a third party, can actually have drawbacks if you're a certain type of person. I don't like to give this example, but I sometimes find that the older generation are much more comfortable with trusting a bank, simply because they haven't kept up with technology, and therefore don't trust themselves to manage their own money, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Someone like me on the other hand, are incredibly suspicious of banks, and find their additional checks, and process too long. I've had payments flagged up, which I then had to confirm my identity, and all of that, but with Bitcoin I can just pay without those additional checks. At the end of the day, it's my money, that I legally earned, so I shouldn't have to go through additional checks. Obviously, I do understand why they do it, it's to prevent fraud, and unauthorised use of your card or bank, but that's something I'd like to be able to opt out of, which you can't with every major bank I've used.

Obviously, that's just one example of the restrictions imposed by using a third party like a bank, but there's many more which either suit a person or don't. Bitcoin hasn't made me stinking rich, but it has aided the life I wanted to have, and by that I mean more freedom, not because I've got more money, but because I ultimately control every aspect about my finances.

It is a great experience, and the best thing is that the things that can be improved and if it is helped by Bitcoin is always something gratifying, I would have liked to have believed in bitcoin in 2009 when I was in college, and I confused it with the jobs that were they did with clicks online, a friend managed to get many bitcoins through a faucet at that time, and yes, he kept all his bitcoins in a wallet with his private key, in 2017 I found him, he told me about Bitcoin again and I started in a more serious way and the fact of having bitcoin improved my life a lot, it's like you say, freedom is one of the things that Bitcoin has given me, oh and by the way, my friend lost all the data on that pendrive, that is, lost millions of dollars.

[Esther C]

So here is a fun topic I think that we can all throw our two cents in (or two sats hehe )

Bitcoin has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things, and first off I'd like to start by saying that this community is a very special group of people.

Bitcoin for me has opened up an incredible amount of business opportunities since I service many of the Bitcoin ATM operators though a telecom company and provide internet services (recently there has not been a complete halt, but there is less demand since the drop for new installations) .

It has given me a peace of mind that I have control of my coin in a world where the government is after your money and wants to cut down your commissions & gains every single place that they can.

Bitcoin has generated new life lasting friendships that I cherish, and something we can all come together with in our affinity we share for this digital coin. Even with completely opposing views we can all agree on one thing, that Bitcoin is the best form of money.

It has allowed me to relish in my success, and has churned my stomach at the same time. I think the best thing that Bitcoin has done for me is to be able to HODL and weather the storm, because I have held since 2018 I've seen a few bears and bulls, and honestly that experience has made me more resilient. That experience has transcended beyond Bitcoin to the point that I am confident that I can endure through any financial burden or hardship, Lord willing.

Have a great rest of your Sunday everyone

It has helped me understand finances that’s aren’t physical and managing investments.

[Abiky]

if you have to explain everything maybe it won't be written here all. Bitcoin provides many opportunities for me and makes my life more valuable. In the past I was an unemployed person and also sometimes became a freelancer without a definite salary. After getting to know bitcoin and the world of trading everything changed drastically, my economy is improving every year and until now I can buy whatever I want and provide for my family.
Bitcoin changed my mindset in viewing online jobs which are certainly more profitable and we can make a lot of money by trading. I studied technical analysis intensely to be able to dominate the crypto market and it worked..
It's not just about the improving economy, I've also made a lot of like-minded friends about crypto and bitcoin and it's become a strong community in my neighborhood. Bitcoin has done a lot for the life of me and I am very lucky to have known bitcoin for a long time.

Bitcoin is truly a life-changing cryptocurrency. Those who discover it, have the potential to become rich in the future. Unfortunately, not everyone finds Bitcoin to be an attractive alternative to existing Fiat currencies (eg: US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, etc.). Governments and banks have spread lots of misinformation and false propaganda to scare away the general public from Bitcoin. It's this reason why the majority thinks Bitcoin is a scam, a Ponzi, or a fad. I don't blame them, since crypto/Blockchain tech is still in its infancy.

The pioneer cryptocurrency has a long road ahead before it can reach adoption at a large scale. Slowly but surely, people are joining the revolution. I'm pretty sure there will be more success stories among those who discover and embrace Bitcoin's benefits to the fullest. Just my thoughts

[Stella Mese]

Bitcoin has changed my mindset that was previously not open to practical things. I used to prefer saving money. but I realized the value of my money has become less. every year. I also find out about the best investments. then i found bitcoin. That's where I started buying bitcoins too. although fluctuating but so far I have benefited a lot. because I was lucky to have entered bitcoin when the bitcoin price was below $19,000. Bitcoin has been useful for me to store the value of my assets.

Do you manage to consistently earn from trading, do you have a stable income every month? If yes, then you are in that small percentage of people who succeed in trading. Personally, bitcoin has not changed my life much, I continue to do what I did before I met him, but I continue to buy bitcoin and I hope that in the future it will change my life for the better.

That is the most important information I learned as well. I used to think that the best way to have money was to save it, but then I learned that most rich people do not even have money, they have debt.

Look at all the big companies in the world, they literally have cash and debt together, they could pay for something in cash, they have that much, and they still prefer to get a loan to do that instead of using their cash, because they rather grow their asset size, and to do that, instead of using 100 million dollars to buy 1 thing, they spend 20 million and get 80 million debt, hence they can use that 100 million to get 500 million debt, which means their asset size would grow 5x that way.

[|MINER|]

Before I describe what Bitcoin has done for me, I must tell you what else Bitcoin hasn't done for me! To say Bitcoin has changed my life, Bitcoin has given me the ability to live comfortably with my family. Moreover, it saved me from bank control, now I keep most of my money in cryptocurrencies in a decentralized system as my own money bank where we used to stand for hours at the bank. And I want to keep saying that Bitcoin was invented to change not only me but the whole future.

[kamvreto]

Actually it's not bitcoin that does it, but we do it ourselves. Bitcoin is just a digital asset system that is continuously run and trusted. For those who continue to run it and take advantage of the technology we will benefit from it. Bitcoin provides many opportunities for me, to get to know this amazing system. Since I got to know bitcoin, my life started to change. I continue to study it in this forum until I get some income from bitcoin that I get for free through this forum. Keep collecting bitcoins and start investing. Until now I continue to invest in bitcoin and have some assets that I might not be able to get if only relying on ordinary jobs out there. The potential of bitcoin is very large, who can take advantage of it will get more benefits than what is thought. Nobody regulates bitcoin, it stands alone and becomes the future of decentralized payments.

Personally, bitcoin has not changed my life much, I continue to do what I did before I met him, but I continue to buy bitcoin and I hope that in the future it will change my life for the better.

yes I managed to get a consistent income from the trades that I did. I even have a private group to just chat and share analytical techniques about bitcoin and other altcoins. Bitcoin will surprise you if you are consistent to keep buying bitcoin. You just need to wait and be patient. If your target is still not achieved it's not a problem, just a matter of time. and remember that before bitcoin as it is today, many underestimated bitcoin and considered it just digital trash. but now bitcoin is more gold than real gold. Do what you love and accumulate your bitcoins.

Some do even think that it is really too late on engaging on it without even trying to realize that it is really never been too late to accumulate considering the price potential which might reached up in the future then

this is where people do really get interested in but of course we shouldnt really forget the risk involved since nothing could really be that assured when it comes to future aspect.
Bitcoin had done something in my life which it did really changed up the way in my finances.

It might not completely changed up my lifestyle but at least im earning which is more than the amount that i could use on or spent which basically you could really
have more savings if you are really just too wise on it.

[Artem Sereda]

Bitcoin is genuinely unique in its capabilities and application. He made many people rich who were poor 10 years ago. And now it continues to develop and make life much more convenient. More and more businesses are starting to accept payment in bitcoins. From flower shops and cafes to giant corporations. For me personally, bitcoin is an excellent, fast way to pay online. And it's very cool!

[lloyds1390]

the answer is early clear ! it makes me lots of money! I hodl my BTC for ever, they are going to be $1M  by next 10 years .

[8rch7]

Bitcoin has done a lot of opportunities for me in my student life. I made a passive income through Bitcoin trading and spend them in my student life which made my student life more easy.

Bitcoin is often considered a new investment instrument that has the potential to maximize profits, I have received many benefits from investing in bitcoin, my finances have started to improve, and I understand more about the internet world, before I got to know bitcoin I spent my time by watching other people's content and one of the benefits provided by bitcoin is that I can store my assets without being known by the government and any party, before there was bitcoin every wealth that was owned was definitely recorded in the government book.

[gabbie2010]

bitcoin has done a lot for me, especially financial problems, since I got to know bitcoin my financial problems have improved, loans have been paid off one by one, I was lucky to be introduced to bitcoin, I can work online without having to leave my children

Before I knew bitcoin I was faced with some financial challenges too, however since I embraced the coin I have had been relieved of that burden especially after I joined this forum, I hade learnt a lot of stuffs about bitcoin which aided my ability to use stable coin for forex trading thus avoiding the mandatory KYC required by some brokers using my local currency, I also like the idea of carrying out my personal transactions anonymously one of the feature of using bitcoin apart from being a store of value, finally I prefer to be paid with bitcoin for any online job I performed which is better than Western Union Money Transfer, paypal, payoneer etc.

Yes, investing in bitcoin and other coins in the market is totally risky but bitcoin already proved to us many times too that its risk is worth it because the result that we will reap soon is worth the effort and it's not yet too late to invest in bitcoin, just like it's always a perfect time to buy especially now that bitcoin can be bought at a discounted price.

Bitcoin is still not finished showing its potential and it's not yet finished helping peoples lives as well. Personally, bitcoin has been a great help for me, not just financially, it broaden and opened my eyes to the reality that I didn't know before.

[Ndabagi01]

Bitcoin hasn’t done really great things for me but I wouldn’t say it won’t. My reason been that I’m yet to invest in it but with the decentralized system it operates on, I’m sure it will make a great means of savings and investment for me later when i venture fully in it.

[pawanjain]

Bitcoin is a remarkable technology and it has made me into a different person today.
I learnt to be patient since I have witnesses the bull and bear cycles.
I learnt to have some discipline by regularly investing in bitcoin at different time intervals.
I cultivated the habit of saving more just so that I can invest more.
Bitcoin also improved my vocabulary since reading and posting on this forum enhanced my grammatical skills.
Bitcoin gave me some really cool friends on this forum from whom I get to learn a lot of things.
Finally bitcoin made me stick to the technology and made me an independent person which I am today.

[buwaytress]

I've talked about this at least once before but don't mind talking about it again because it's a major change in the way I've lived for the past 5 years or so since moving to a new country and taking up freelancing work seriously.

Short story is PayPal used to be my main means of getting paid from freelance work. Yeah it costs money, but it was instant and relatively cheaper and faster than banking, besides easier tracking of invoices etc.

But if you're not North American or European, and move around a lot, PayPal doesn't like you. Account freezes and verification became more common over the years, particularly I'd say after 2010 (?) as I remember frequently having to reverify myself, getting balances unblocked, and they'd even stay blocked for months at times. Frustrating af.

When I first tried out Bitcoin, it took a while to convince clients to pay with it but I offered discounted rates. 5%, 10%, to make it worth their while, but also later discovered more and more clients willing and eager to get things done faster with Bitcoin.

Don't remember the exact turning point but at least since 2018, Bitcoin is virtually the only way I get paid for my freelance work, and I've converted countless others along the way.

So Bitcoin's made it possible for me, a person from the Global South to say goodbye to the fked up financial system that discriminates against me, to participate as a regular person just trying to make ends meet.

[Oneandpure]

I can't describe with how my financial condition without know with bitcoin, exactly firs time I know about bitcoin when joining many kinds investment way seem like MGM Global, I can't imagine how much my bitcoin loss in this pyramid investment kinds. Frist I know with bitcoin ability for investment way not only as payment option in my hype investment. Later I try checking several forum discussing about bitcoin before I know this forum guide me to know more about bitcoin.

Until several years I know with bitcoin I can't counted with how much goals and achievement get from bitcoin, before marriage until right now I have one kids all my progress have bitcoin behind it. I think will be long time with bitcoin however with Bitcoin price still going down right now, still left several my destination with Bitcoin and I hope this season will get.

[Coin63$]

Bitcoin is a virtual currency that has no physical counterpart.These coins can be traded with each other only through online.I have learned a lot since entering the cryptocurrency world.Bitcoin taught me about money supply and liquidity.Once I was too busy to work but now I don't want to work anymore because I can earn good from here.

[Davidvictorson]

Bitcoin has done a lot for me. Here, I am going to highlight some of the few important things:

• Bitcoin helped me to start a new business - fish farming.
• Bitcoin connected to a network of young entrepreneurs who believe in its vision.
• Bitcoin connected me to a digital activists in my country who are lobby top politicians to make them change their stance on bitcoin transactions ban in place.
• Bitcoin helped me develop a new tech skill

[DaNNy001]

It has given me a peace of mind that I have control of my coin in a world where the government is after your money and wants to cut down your commissions & gains every single place that they can.

No doubt bitcoin made everything alot better especially when it's comes to having full control of your money without getting extra charges and cuts from your money in the bank.
Bitcoin has made everyone understand especially myself that I can now have access to my funds at my own supervision.
I donno for others but the banking system  in my country is really poor and the unnecessary charge of bank fees even when your transaction history is dormant is really annoying. They cut from your own money you are saving in their system .Before now I use to experience my money been cut in the bank every month ending even without owing them any money. Like you said they are just after money.
Since i discovered the forum that made me understood the concept of bitcoin more, i have removed all my money in the  bank and bought bitcoin in this bear season and am planning to hodl for a long term investment to have profit not the losses i had with the fiat banking system in my country

[Ummarr]

Bitcoin has done many things for me...
I was a person who rely on my parent anything I need I. Must wait for them, there the one to provide it for me sometimes I'll not be able to get it.
One day I now got introduced to bitcoin/cryptocurrency he now explain much about bitcoin and what Bitcoin has done for him I was like he want to introduce me to fraud I didn't give it much of time by then one day I was sitted I now got a call from a friend he still explain the same thing as my brother that's when I got engage to these great platform.
So bitcoin as my change my life today giving those who help me wen I  did not have

[tread93]

Wow, time passed and I haven't paid much attention to this post. I am so thrilled and overwhelmed by all of your responses seeing all the great ways that Bitcoin has changed our lives. Thank you all for sharing!   Pretty soon I am going to announce a charity auction that will benefit the Children's Home Society, whom helps foster children find suitable homes. They operate out of West Palm Beach, FL with their HQ in Orlando. I will soon be meeting with the board so that they can establish a bitcoin receiving wallet address to be posted on their website so that everyone knows its legit. The upcoming post that I will be making a new thread for will serve as a layout of the plans and timeframe for the fundraiser as well as the invitation to all users who feel led to donate BTC collectibles/other items of value that will be collected and then posted up in another separate charity auction thread. Something to keep an eye out for! It is one thing to say all that bitcoin has done for us, but its another thing to let us change the narrative so that we can utilize bitcoin to literally change the lives of young and abandoned children, forever. Together I think we can make a serious impact and get these kids on the right track! This is something I have been very passionate about, I helped take pictures for the Charity 5k fundraiser race and I can't wait to share some of those pictures so you can see some of the children that participated. Updates to follow!

[Sayeds56]

Bitcoin brought a pleasant change in our life so it  means a lot not only for me but also for my family and friends. We all started investing in Bitcoin and alts since 2016 and we worked in every sector of crypto currency from mining to trading as well joined ICOs. In 2020 we also invested in DEFI sector and made good profit in 2021 when crypto market was booming.

Bitcoin helped me to understand difference between price & value & what is difference between fiat and digital currencies. Now I always accumulate high value Bitcoin in less price and make good profit by selling them when Bitcoin makes new ATH.

[bitbunnny]

I had to say this Bitcoin really helped me. It was some 9 years ago when I first time started to use it. I was facing some financial difficulties and getting involved with Bitcoin helped me to earn some money and solve my finances. Of course it wasn't easy and I had to learn a lot but it was worth it. And I think that back then it was easier to make success with Bitcoin than it is today.

Bitcoin made me fall in love for the second time in my life (ok don't believe me crazy) but it actually was.  It opened my eyes and now I can see the world with a new point of view.  It finally makes me feel free (and sometimes rebellious).  It happens that sometimes it makes me angry but then I always forgive him.  In any case, every day it becomes stronger and stronger than before like the light of the lighthouse that makes you feel safe.

No doubt Bitcoin is one of best inventions of current century, it not only made my life comfortable but also created many millionaires all over the world who started working in this industry with scratch and now they are so well off what they had never expected.
I know many students who had not enough funds to pay their college fees but since they joined crypto space, but now they not only meet their educational expenses with earning from their investment in crypto but also support their families .

[GigaBit]

According to World Bank data, a survey shows that 40% of the world's adults, 2 billion people, do not have a bank account. Those who have no financial empowerment. No debt. No development. No security. No Hope. These are the major problems in the world where Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can provide a sound solution, allowing for low-cost banking. Above all it is now used as a symbol of financial freedom and independence.

Bitcoin is constantly playing a role in the welfare of people and its importance has increased day by day than before. Prices may vary by bears and bulls but there is no doubt that bitcoin utility is increased. Today who are investors or holders of Bitcoin are learning how important it is and how it can improve our lives. Maybe many people have invested in Bitcoin unknowingly or sold it later but now the trust and confidence we have in Bitcoin really impressed me. If bitcoin price now reduces further I want to hold it. I think it is now the best tool for the development of life and also the arm to fulfillment of my dreams.

since I started investing in bitcoin, there are positive habits that grow in me.

- which at first I was not careful, since investing in bitcoin, I started to learn to be careful.
- I learned about patience, in investing in bitcoin, all investors must have known that there is such a thing as going up and there is such thing as going down, and when the market goes down, that's where patience is tested, between selling bitcoin, and defending it.
- and Alhamdulillah since investing in bitcoin, the economy has helped.

I can't describe detailly about Bitcoin helped more in my life and my financial better after I knowing with Bitcoin, I am coming from not richest family and don't have much money for investing or trading in Bitcoin, but my fund source from joining several airdrop and I used half for investing in Bitcoin when price under $5,000. Right now Bitcoin have drastically change with my economic and financial pocket, I get enough income from Bitcoin but still learn step by step with other investment kinds from Bitcoin profit.

Want to see again Bitcoin can reach higher price for helping many people loss their fund after investing when Bitcoin still at the higher price, I have loss investment too in bitcoin when investing price going up.

Bitcoin has made a great impact in the lives of many people all over the world, youths especially as long as I know. I could remember having my money all starched in my bank accounts only just to be receiving different debit alerts of ATM maintenance, federal government electronic charge and all others every month end without a profit added. When I got about bitcoin and got involved with a little token for the start the profit it accrued to me at that time was unbelievably true to me
What I did was to waste no time but accumulate more. And I must confess I have really benefited much than when my money were all starched up in bank.

And one special thing I like about bitcoin is the non interference by any government authority which is something to be proud of bitcoin about. As my finance is well controlled by me alone
