What have Bitcoin or crypto change in your life?

[SOKO-DEKE]

introduction of Bitcoin has improved my lifestyle, despite it hasn't significantly improved my financial situation.Despite hearing about bitcoin and even learning about it from friends, my experience with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general has only been a few months back. When I purchased my first $30 worth of Bitcoin  from my friend who introduced me to Bitcoin in year period of March but since then, the value of Bitcoin has fallen. But that doesn't move at all, do that I have  I performed more research on my own during this current semi-bearish period instead of declaring, saying this "Fuck this, I'm out." As a result, I became more knowledgeable about the world of finance and have never stopped buying since. both in the upward and downward directions.

Even though my bitcoin investments is not moving well, getting into crypto has taught me how to be frugal. I have gained a lot of knowledge about the stock market, charts, and economics in general all stemming from my interest in crypto.
I didn't have any future investment plans before  getten into crypto. my plane was save everything in bank in savings account. Before I paid no attention to inflation, the state of the economy, or my financial future ( besides being a graduate ).

Even if I never achieve financial independence through Bitcoin, I will always be appreciative of the positive impact it as  added on my life.
And once more, I want to express my gratitude to the forum users for their advice.

Pretty similar experience — I didn't know crap about finance and investing before Bitcoin; Bitcoin pretty much jumpstarted my interest in finance and investing. I'd say even if all my bitcoin/crypto holdings went to zero today and never went back up(though I hope not), I'd still be a better position today than where I was 6 years ago because of all the acquired knowledge.

Development, Business Idea, Patient, Technical analysis, Bitcoin and crypto in general changes a lot of idea about my journey to financial freedom, I'm sure without crypto in general I would literally be on the street, moving around with my CV looking for a job. But Crypto exposed me to a better life, makes me a boss, and living good in my beautiful domain.

Bitcoin has helped me to become financially free as it gave me the right to control my finance and the knowledge I gain from Bitcoin and this forum, in general, have helped me to make better decisions and also become a better analyst when it comes to investment.
I may have not spent years in Bitcoin but the little time I have spent here has helped to improve my mental capacity and build good investment knowledge in me.

[Zaguru12]

Firstly my its has improve my financial spending I will tell you that since I started Investing I have grown to save funds and patiently wait for them to grow, something that was quite hard for me before but the switch between bear and bull period has contributed to it

The most important I have learn so far is cryptography. As someone that is not technically knowledge about anything code I think i can say I have developed so well since coming into bitcoin

[Asiska02]

Bitcoin has significantly altered various aspects of my personality. My thinking, spending, saving, and investing habits have all changed as a result of my exposure to bitcoin. This it has done for me in its own perspective it is designed for.

After learning about bitcoin, I now understand what it is to be patient in life, how to take risks in life, and when to and when not to go with something. In reality, bitcoin not only teaches you how to manage it, but also how to move on or participate in certain aspects of life.

[sheenshane]

There are a lot of changes that I never regret ever.
I'm very thankful that Bitcoin has come into my life, from financial independence to becoming financially free that can also improve my technical knowledge and skills until the time comes I've also learned how to value money as an investment and build my own business through the help of Bitcoin and this forum as well.

These are major changes in my life through Bitcoin

• Fairness
• Learn how to be your own central bank
• Learn how to save and invest

[Alisha-k]

Before now use to think we owed the banks alot for keeping our money and they were entitled to freeze them when ever the want and unfreeze them after selling out my entire data to them but Bitcoin opened my eye to seeing the slavery the banks subjected people to. Bitcoin has widened my scope as regards finance and management has well as keeping funds by myself without any fear of losing them or getting it froozen.

Cryptocurrency made me more courage about changing my life. First of all it taught me i can't trust centralized financial institutions. Secondly it showed me, today's world is so brute. If you don't have any investment plan you will fail at some point of your life. Because nowadays inflation is a crucial problem.  We are seeing its effect day by day. Thanks to cryptocurrency my last two years was more effective than before about financial freedom.

Of course, everything wasnt positive. I had many days without sleeping. Most of the time i was thinking about my portfolio and i couldn't concentrate what i was doing. My internet quoata starts to finish earlier than normal. I had same problem for my phone battery And also I became addicted to this forum. My total logged time is 127 day

[jakdanyel]

First of all, bitcoin strengthened my sense of trust. I didn't think I could trust so much in something I'd never known before. And when there are so many people in the world who say that bitcoin should not be trusted.
I used to trust banks a lot. Now, instead of them, I rely more on the bitcoins that are in my cold wallet.

Secondly, he taught me to be patient. After being patient, I saw that I would make a big profit. I have noticed that I earn more money when I buy crypto coins, which I also use as an investment tool, at the right time.

No OP; there is no need to even utter such thoughts. Your positive thinking will definitely make you successful. With bitcoin, many grow up and begin to be more careful and restrained in their means. I won’t say that I limit my life to constant savings, but the understanding that instead of momentary weakness and buying unnecessary things, I can buy bitcoin once again always has a positive effect on my well-being.
For a long time, I didn’t take bitcoin seriously and didn’t take it into account, but now that I’ve gained experience, I won’t repeat my mistakes. In addition, when there is a permanent job, investing in bitcoin for me arouses, in a sense, a sense of excitement.

Beginning with seriousness will pay off in the end, while many people take the wrong first steps that cause trauma without getting any return. For now at least new lessons about new financial models and management you have achieved, increasing investment value is the second goal which is still only a possibility (unless you are consistent on bitcoin).

 getting into crypto has taught me how to be frugal.

This got my interest, Bitcoin made you to be frugal, I'd wish to learn such from Bitcoin as frugality seems difficult to me, but I'll get over it. However, I've never thought of Bitcoin as a vehicle to ride over the problem.

Moving forward, Bitcoin thought me to be skillful, when I got into bitcoin I saw lots of opportunities in it other than saving money or investing money. I saw Bitcoin as a means of learning different things. Those days we were advised to learn a skill or two then fit it in on Bitcoin then build from there. Though it wasn't easy but I'm enjoying the ride now. 

[jossiel]

Just like the experience of most, I'm like them that hasn't really no idea how to be financially literate and then when bitcoin got in all of a sudden.

It has pushed me to be aware of those financial matters. Like it's a complete buff, you get the investment and understand cryptocurrencies and its technology (blockchain).

And then, you'll get the idea how the market works, the charts which is the visibility of its performances all of these days/years.

Keep the faith, mate, and you'll have enough stories to fill a letter.
This is a nearly identical experience, but mine was not during the bear market, so I didn't get to experience the dip as quickly as you did, but experience is the best teacher, and I am glad you are able to learn, and I hope you will continue to learn in this forum.

Even though this one has taken a very long time and is getting worse by the day, all our hope is based on our trust in Bitcoin, and this period is like a test, which will also pass one day, and we can both enjoy the profit we will have at the end.

I think majority of us are less knowledgeable about finance and investing, until we started gaining significant knowledge in crypto. One thing that we should be grateful in the first place. And because of that, I’ve learned to give importance on every profit that comes my way, and use it wisely for a potential investment and save some for emergency funds. Though I’m not financially stable for now, but I know with bitcoin, it will always be possible in the long run.

[Pokapoka124]

Hodling bitcoin has taught me to be more sensitive to my cyberspace security for example I never knew of TOR until I became familiar with crypto. Before coming into bitcoin, I was callous with my data, I’d click on any ad that pops up on the screen just to get to my desired page. It was bitcoin that change that careless attitude towards my privacy. I have made profits selling at bullish seasons but I think the practice of protecting my wallet and coins from phishing hacks and scammers is that’s more valuable to me.

[ajiz138]

Bitcoin has changed a lot in a person's personality, especially in their finances for the better I know that because of their persistence in believing in bitcoin which is increasingly being believed to be a good investment for the future.
We will not be separated from the bank as a form of saving money which we believed in the past now I do not expect full from this bank as I need it for my needs and for the future I store in bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet as a bank ourselves.

A lot of time has been spent knowing about bitcoin, we have experienced various problems in the market and have been through it but we understand what has happened before and is happening now, even so I still bitcoin as an investment vehicle.

Yeah that is the mentality of an average citizen, you always think the bank is helping to keep your money meanwhile they use the money to do business and even invest in stock and at the end of the month, bank customers are hit with high fees and some other deduction from their bank account.
This has been the practice until Bitcoin gave us financial freedom and offered us an alternative to banks and how we are free to control our financial dealings without any third-party involvement.

Many things have really changed in my life ever since i got introduced to bitcoin and the major aspect that got a turnaround is my financial life, how i plan and budget things, profitability with my investment and sound knowledge about how to invest on a profitable digital currency like bitcoin and hodl with patients than hunting around for alternative currencies, then how to manage risk and play safe with the best choice of an investment like bitcoin that is will not cease to exist.
