Describe what Bitcoin has done for you

[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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 (at least up until recently & its not to a complete halt but there is less demand since the drop) .

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,

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.

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.

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 

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.

[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.
