~~~When did you first heard about bitcoin 2024 Halving edition~~

I don't regret anything I've been through before - it wouldn't do any good if I didn't rush when I got to know him. Being a holder is something special for me even though the amount of assets I own may not make me a millionaire by the halving period in 2024. So yes - there is still room for improvement as long as we are willing to improve it.

But at least you will feel how to get through the halving which will be 1 month away with some Bitcoin that you hold.
I don't even own enough Bitcoin assets, but I'm looking forward to this halving and the effects of the halving will provide a good opportunity for the crypto space in the future.

I have even passed the 3rd Halving by owning about 2–3 Bitcoins and once felt how extraordinary profits I got.
It's not bad to be a Bitcoin holder when you already believe and are waiting for Bull run to arrive.

Keep holding the Bitcoin you have and pass the halving, you will find where the actual target you want to achieve.

So we have around 1 month left for the 4th halving. Thought of creating a topic to gauge the bitcoin fever!
I first found out about BTC back in Q1 2011. I think i seriously got into it in May 2011. Dl'ed the core software on sep 30 2011.(blockchain size was around ~600mb). Got free BTC via bitcoin faucet 0.05.  Started mining in 2012 via bitminter(geforce 525m getting 12mhps). HDD crashed and i forgot until 2022 when i started serious devotion

Yeah Yeah i missed the bus even if it was in front of me. Had i lived in a country where Mt Gox supported my currency, it would have been another story.

I posted my first BTC in this forum

lol,started hearing about bitcoin when I was in Nysc 2021 from a friend which we stay together where we serving together and it sounded strange because I was new to the crypto space and bitcoin.so but with research.i understand it learning is everyday of someone life.

Its been a while I've been hearing about bitcoin but there's no doubt that after the time i adopted this digital currency, this will be my first experience with halving within the system, there's much to talk about when it comes to halving as well as more to learn, because this is one of the most interesting season i which many investors have their focus on in other to realized up to their expectations.

I am not experienced when it comes to the Bitcoin halving, but I have had good time already in Bitcoin, the best way to experience Bitcoin halving for the first time is being calm. The halving hasn't yet come but we have seen how the market this past weeks has been, even shit coins saw some rise in price.

The Bitcoin halving would still cause so many coins to spike up this is not a guarantee that those coins would be successful. The Bitcoin halving would cause many to move into crypto-currency even if they do not Believe in crypto. Everyone would be looking for fast gains. Watch out for FUD, FOMO, don't make panic buys or sell.

That's right. If you don't hold on to yourself tight, you will jump into the crypto market excitedly out of FOMO by beginning to invest wrongly into shitcoins because of the spike in price.

Currently, the crypto market is on a moving train and so many coins are on the same moving train with bitcoin. if care is not taken to all this, someone will be caught up with the market wrongly, with the hope that they have found a breakthrough by investing excessively in shitcoin, not on bitcoin because of how expensive bitcoin currently is.

While everyone is anticipating the halving time with great excitement, let them not forget to set a target price for when they should sell some of your bitcoin holdings because if anyone misses selling when others are selling, he or she shouldn't hold anyone responsible when the bull run is over, because nobody told them not to withdraw their profits and they gat to be patient enough to hodl through the next halving that will give rise to the bull run in months, for them to get back on profits.

I was introduced to Bitcoin in 2015 or 2016, which I can't recall exactly. At the beginning of the revnshare, I had invested in some ponzi in fiat money, like perfect money, etc. But I swear, I wasn't aware of what ponzi is or how it works. Some of my online friends encouraged me to invest, and thanks to them, they introduced Bitcoin as well. During the investment, there was also Bitcoin, so I bought some Bitcoin and invested there. That's how I became a Bitcoin investor, trader, and marketer. When I realised what a Ponzi scheme was and that they were just scammers, I left everything and started working against them. So still, I am involved with Bitcoin and trading.

I first heard about it in 2012 IIRC, but I was never interested. Then in 2013 I saw this forum, but it gave me an error when I signed up and I didn't bother anymore. A year later, when a friend told me about it, I signed up again. Even though we believed in Bitcoin back then, there was always a question mark. There were a lot of uncertainties such as what if governments put big obstacles to it, what if we cannot buy and sell, what if the coins we have goes to zero. Because of those fears, I couldn't keep my coins as long as I thought. Learning Bitcoin very early doesn't automatically make you rich. Even if you really believe in it, circumstances may force you to sell your coins. There is no need to regret this.

I don't recall when I first heard about Bitcoin, maybe 2014 or before, but I started getting interested and joined the wave in 2015.. When I started, I wasn't able to mine or buy Bitcoin so started with faucets and games until I started growing my earning with some constant spending, things worked well but not that top.
If I joined earlier I would definitely mine but with asics and sophisticated machines things went out of control for me.

I entered the world of crypto at the end of 2015, from the beginning I knew about crypto until 2021 I didn't know when and what halving was, but in 2024 I just learned the meaning of halving and the predictions that it would happen,
maybe for this session I missed the opportunity, to have a lot of BTC in my wallet, if I have a long life in the next halving session I will be more active and deeper in learning about bitcoin,

First heard bitcoin on 2016, where most newbies where fond of using faucets, cloud minings lol and typical bitcoin doubler like ponzis. Well there are lots of them and high paying faucets. I remember i can earn 0.02 btc just for faucets for 3-5 days. It was a gold old days earning and stacking bitcoins.

2021, Although the history of Bitcoin is very old, but in my case, the history of Bitcoin is not old, but in the middle of 2021, I thought of investing in Bitcoin for the first time. Although I was brand new to Bitcoin world in 2020 but my interest was very high so I started my first investment by investing 100 dollars in my private tutoring in Bitcoin. Now Bitcoin is so popular that most of the people in the world care about this virtual currency and they are ready to make the standard of rich people of the world mainly based on Bitcoin. Most of the world's richest investors are investing mainly in Bitcoin.

Like you, I knew this crypto market in 2016, right after the Halving took place, but things were still quite vague. At that time, the crypto market had become famous when the Lending wave became strong and brought great profits to early investors. It's a pity that at that time I didn't believe in the future of BTC, I thought that new blockchains with more modern technology and smart contracts could replace BTC. I used BTC to participate in a few ICOs and had unpleasant experiences.

Time flies by so fast, we are about to welcome another halving. New BTC is still being generated every day, but the BTC balance in my account has never been as large as it was in 2016. I hope that in this uptrend I will not miss the opportunity with BTC.

The halving of bitcoin is indeed a dirty little trick hiding in the source code.

The bitcoin white paper misleads:

"The steady addition of a constant of amount of new coins..."

I learned about this later as far as I re-call 2014 ? analyzed it in 2011 maybe I knew in 2011 probably but not sure

[CODE200]

Probably back when the time that I've registered in 2016, that's a foreign concept to me, reduction in rewards resulting in more value but then I got to experience it and it was definitely something to look at, although it's just another for everyone, it was a monumental milestone for bitcoin because it means that there's only so few bitcoins left to mine in the world. In regards to halving for 2024, I don't think that you're a real person in bitcoin space if you haven't heard of halving for this year because everyone's talking about it and there's no way that you can miss that even if you're not up to date because there's a set date that a halving would happen so I don't get your question because as I've said before, no way to miss this event.

Based on the true facts, no one introduced me to bitcoin itself, but someone introduced me to bitcoin talk, so I was busy gathering all my information about bitcoin since after an ad that I saw in the social media, I got interested in it, so I just concluded to go on research if I could get some relevant information that will help me understand more before I invest, which in the process I understand some things and then meet a friend that explains something about the forum, which after I came to the forum I just saw that all the information that I need I can easily find it here.
 
So apparently I will say I started holding bitcoin around June 2023, some months before I joined the forum, which after I joined, I understood that I had made a great decision to invest, but about halving, I have never withness halving before, but I know many things about it because I studied a lot about it. 

I was introduced to Bitcoin in 2015 or 2016, which I can't recall exactly. At the beginning of the revnshare, I had invested in some ponzi in fiat money, like perfect money, etc. But I swear, I wasn't aware of what ponzi is or how it works. Some of my online friends encouraged me to invest, and thanks to them, they introduced Bitcoin as well. During the investment, there was also Bitcoin, so I bought some Bitcoin and invested there. That's how I became a Bitcoin investor, trader, and marketer. When I realised what a Ponzi scheme was and that they were just scammers, I left everything and started working against them. So still, I am involved with Bitcoin and trading. 

That is why it is being said that knowledge is the key and literacy is a disease because, without research and mature understanding in taking risks, you will not have believed in your online friends, because without them introducing bitcoin to you, it will be very hard for you to even know about bitcoin and understand it to the extent that you have to leave the Ponzi scheme and others, which you achieve because of your understanding and trust in some certain risk to put on your money to buy some bitcoin at that time. And to me, you have really taken a great risk on investment, and after that, you got to know about bitcoin because if it is me, I have to take more time understanding it because I invest because I put high considerations into taking a risk.
