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

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.

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.

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.

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
