7 years.

- Became more literate with money/finance/investing
- Protected myself from losing money through inflation, and at the same time earned a huge multiple over my holdings
- Prevented my financial information from being exposed to centralized entities — regardless if malicious or not

Not sure if there's a single valid reason for me to change my ways. Once you go non-custodial, there's simply no going back.

This is my foruth year.

The experience I had is like the one that I still have, that bitcoin will get to all-time-high some or many months after the halving. What experience can be more beautiful than passive income.

The people that are losing fomo and they do not study and learn before they start.

Two, three to four years now can't recall the year at the moment.

Yes, Bitcoin has been useful to me. Before I got involved in Bitcoin, I had a different perspective on things related to investments, specifically those sites that claim to give you HYIP without you doing anything. Bitcoin, and specifically bitcointalk, has changed my perspective on those things.

As for the experience, I'd be lying if I said I'd been hitting big all the time I've been involved in Bitcoin. There are times when you lose and times when you profit, and that's just how it's been for me, but I believe my profits have far outweighed my losses, which is a good thing.

The experience i have gain over this period is that, Bitcoin is the ultimate chioce among others, and needless to deviate or get distracted by shit-coiners, secondly the financial knowledge and experience is what have helped me to shape alot of aspects in my life.


And i know this is just the beginning of a great journey, one thing i will do more in this one year and next cycle is to double my bitcoin accumulation appetite to be able to stash more bitcoin before the next bitcoin halving to be able to double my gains when the bull market started after haven.

[BIT-BENDER]

I would say I have known Bitcoin now for three years or a little bit over three years. I am still a toddler in Bitcoin, but I have never been a Bitcoin investor, I think we should know the different between Bitcoin enthusiast and Bitcoin investor, I am not saving Bitcoin up for a period of time hoping for increase and then withdraw and forget about Bitcoin, I am here because I think Bitcoin has a role in the future of the financial system.

Well my experience has been amazing I have become a more careful person, because it's easy to lose your Bitcoin to scammers or your own careless, I have been able to heighten the sense of security in myself thanks to Bitcoin.

Also Bitcoin has exposed me to decentralized freedom, I feel safer using Bitcoin, especially when I hear about people's issues with banking system.

4-5 years now! Of course Bitcoin has been helpful and luckily i've not had any ugly experience (loss of funds) using Bitcoin, but mind you that's because i am a user in this forum and there is so much knowledge available here. As for achievements of using Bitcoin, it is a subjective thing, i myself understood early enough that Bitcoin isn't a get rich quick scheme, so i was never expecting anything too much other than being my own bank and having the liberty to spend/hodl my funds as i deem fit.

It's been a long time investing in bitcoin that's what I experienced.

There are many achievements in bitcoin that cannot be explained in more depth, but in a profit that is obtained, there must be a loss that has been experienced, so that was an important experience for me when I started investing in bitcoin, but for now I am not leaving bitcoin anymore. focus there to continue to add to the portfolio to be bigger.

Bad experience where investing in the wrong matches other than bitcoin.

When did you start your bitcoin investment?

I had some knowledge about cryptocurrency before joining this forum but I started investing in bitcoins some weeks after. I did not start investing in bitcoins as soon as I knew about them that is before I joined this forum, because I was afraid of being scammed. I am close to a year now and happy that I joined this forum first before investing, I came across many scam websites with bitcoins in their name asking me to invest, but I did not.

It has been helpful because I know better right now and have become more interested in my financial life.

[SatoPrincess]

I started accumulating bitcoin about three years ago, thanks to this forum I have access to information that helped me on my journey. A lot has happened in the space of three years, I have witnessed exchanges crumble; shitcoins rise and fall; and I have been exposed to a lot of scam tricks. Fortunately, I don’t have any bad experience in the crypto space, though I was disappointed that bitcoin didn’t reach 100k as predicted in 2021 but that’s the fun of investing in bitcoin.

I am about two years in the Bitcoin environment so I don't have as much experience as the grandfathers and mothers in the forum. I started investing in Bitcoin this year and was always looking at my wallet during the bear and mini-bull run this year. But I am a more confident investor now and a believer in bitcoin. I have not achieved much since I am new but I have accumulated a few sats. I am hoping to keep adding until I gain my targeted profit. Bitcoin has instilled in me the habit of saving. I had to cut some expenses because I want to add to my investment. For now, no ugly experience, and I hope not to encounter one yet.

3 years, the first time when I joined into Bitcoin investments world, I lost a a lot, but I learnt from that, even though I don't know or understand much I understand it to my level, even if I don't know much reach others but with the little experience I have for this three years, and the little knowledgeable of Bitcoin I aquire, I can defend myself from some risk and I can teach person with my little experience about Bitcoin. I was into cryptocurrency before I join this forum last year, And I learned many things from this forum too.

[boyptc]

I think around 2015-2016 so that's giving an estimate of 7-8 years of being on this market and as an investor I've learned a lot.

Just as mk4 has said, that also made me literate on how I'll invest my money. So we can think of that bitcoin isn't just a piece of tech, not just a payment method, not just all about blockchain, not just a store of value.

But it has also helped and enforced us on how be finance savvy for which I've applied on my investing techniques into other ventures and investment vehicles.

I just saw in my bitcointalk account registered and got I was investment about 4 years. but sadly, at that time (2019) I am school and don't have money to buy Bitcoin. And the exchange also doesn't allow me to register, because I don't have an ID card where the age must be 17 years and over. But, I still can earn and invest bitcoin from earning sat from the free faucet, the assets are still there, and I always add 1/2 from the salary signature campaign.

I am still young and I have a target when I have to sell it because I believe bitcoin value will be multiplied in the future.

the wise guy ever said if occurrence always repeated.

In my case about 5 years, but at the beginning I only bought small quantities. Since 2 years ago or more I started to make more regular purchases.

In the end there are many things that influence, how long ago is one, how much you have bought another, and another very important one is: how much have you sold? You see many people on the forum with many years of antiquity asking for loans in the lending section, which makes you think that all income obtained with bitcoin was spent.

[Alisha-k]

It's about 5years and counting now, Bitcoin has been an amazing source for me, I've had not too much achieved but to a reasonable amount, I've had a quantity achieved.

They're people who just enjoy living an outrageous and extravagant lifestyle, so even if they're given millions of dollars, they'll still come back to beg..

It's in how you utilize your resources, Bitcoin has been a blessing but some people abuse it though.

[Outhue]

8 years now.

I have been into crypto since 2016, that's when I started learning about crypto and how to make use of crypto wallet for some transactions, by early 2017 I bought my first Bitcoin and some Ethereum, which I sold very early but still made some profits from the investments.

As soon I chose crypto as my next safe place to hide, my life changed forever. I was so passionate about crypto that I knew it would be successful in the long run. I am grateful to my late father for being so supportive.

As a result of my experience, I gained a lot of knowledge about cryptocurrency mining, trading, and investing. Bitcoin has been an amazing investment for me, even when I learned a side hustle, I couldn't take my eyes off Bitcoin, which is why I now accept crypto payments in my business.

More or less about four years ago and now almost entering its fifth year.

Almost everyone who is consistent with bitcoin gets much better financial benefits, but due to its anonymous nature people rarely publish what they have achieved. Bitcoin has helped increase my awareness to store the value of fiat currency, because when I invest the money I have in bitcoin does not depreciate at all in the long term, this advantage is what we don't get in other investments for now, even though gold is a close source like what I'm describing.

Almost everyone has had a bad experience with bitcoin at first, but what needs to be underlined is that it happened because of the mistakes of each of us which was caused by a lack of knowledge, experience that teaches us how accuracy and strategy are needed when you try to invest in bitcoin, basic knowledge will lead us to the stage of minimizing risk.

[Luzin]

Seven years and four months.

- With that age I understand how bitcoin has helped my economic state.
- Trading Bitcoin has taught me to take advantage of volatility with the trading features available.
- Trading Bitcoin taught me to practice patience.
- Trading Bitcoin taught me about greed.
- Be careful about storing crypto assets.

5 to 6 yrs and I must say thats one hell of a ride. If only I have a lot of funds before during that time I was learning bitcoin then I probably ape in knowing how great it would run during the last bull run. But its fine since I think I did learn a lot from that and I might be able to use that when the next bull arrive. One thing is for sure, take profit and dont regret if thats exceeded your possible or expected gains. Sometimes we should be contented on what we earned and dont be greedy.
