I was searching for making money online for free and I found to earn it through faucet on freebitco.in

What make me stay is when I find other promising way to earn Bitcoin which is signature campaign and after that I learn if Bitcoin is the most secure and promising asset, which make me to hold 99% of my money in Bitcoin.

If I didn't find this forum, I doubt if I would have Bitcoin in the present.

Where the hell have you been ?
Just went through your profile and man, you’re doing a great work with your writings and sincerely, I do admire how well and how sincere you make your writings.

Frankly, I think if not for the forum, a lot of persons wouldn’t appreciate bitcoin the way they do now and earning from signature campaigns has given people more driven focus to stay active in the r crypto industry.

Personally the first time I heard of bitcoin was during the era of ponzi if I’m not wrong and since everything about internet money as at then seemed like scam, I wasn’t willing to take the risk to invest but the forum has given more edge and reason to love and appreciate bitcoin.

BTCWhat initially brought you into Bitcoin?

Just like many people would tell you we all came about bitcoin because we heard that there’s possibility of income here. Many heard about this and immediately deemed bitcoin as a scam but for some, we checked it out and now here we are.

and what made you stay?

If we all came because of a promise of income then we all stayed because that promise was made true. I saw how my money grew and know that it would continue to do so in the next following years.

BTCWhat initially brought you into Bitcoin? and what made you stay?

Way back I think that was 2013 I am looking for a side hustle online that will give me extra money and yeah I ended up on faucets as what most crypto enthusiasts are doing that time and yeah years after that I came to this forum and that is way better than doing faucets as payments on signature campaigns and Altcoin bounties are pretty decent in 2017 and that's when I earned good amount of money especially Bitcoin and now everytime I look at my transactions I feel like yeah I shouldn't have sold those Bitcoin I had before.

I stayed with Bitcoin because as years have passed by I learned things like it's potential as an investment asset and actually I like the idea of decentralization and stuff but with fluctuating fees holding it for long term would be the best way to avoid it.

That's really awesome, I'm really happy for you. I've seen OG's who have been in bitcoin for many years but they've had a hard time growing their wealth easily, there's an element of luck involved.

BTCWhat initially brought you into Bitcoin? and what made you stay?

Seeking an alternative source of income was what attracted me to Bitcoin. At first, I was introduced to some shitcoins which turned out to be Ponzi schemes. Many people lost money but I was lucky not to put in any money. I kept on searching until I was introduced to this forum by a friend. After reading and learning about Bitcoin, I was convinced that it was not like other pump-and-dump coins. I decided to remain in the crypto space because I discovered that Bitcoin is a reliable investment and has stood the test of time. I also decided to remain because of the privacy that Bitcoin offers. I have always wanted to keep my financial transactions secret and Bitcoin offers such privilege. Conventional bank workers have access to bank accounts and know how much a customer is worth. I prefer to keep my worth private for security reasons.

I'm sure the initial reason was almost the same, namely when we were looking for how to make money online, because maybe 10 years ago Bitcoin faucets were included in many online articles with the title making free money because at that time there were lots of faucets or also Paid To Click that paid with Bitcoin, but of course, it cannot be denied that at that time not many people expected that what was produced at that time would be of very high-value today, but what makes us stick with Bitcoin will vary, for me this is one of the savings that better than just putting money in the bank, even though the amount is not large, if you are patient and continue to save it, the value will increase, that is the reason that makes me stick with Bitcoin.

Covid-19 locked down brought me into bitcoin. Initially, I have heard about bitcoin in 2017, but because I had a means of income, I ignored it. When the lick down took place that was when I thought of looking for how to earn money online. Bitcoin was the first thing that hit my thought and I started making research.

Finally, I was able to know about this forum from someone which I was happy that I will be able to learn and know more about bitcoin. The potential of bitcoin after having the basic knowledge of bitcoin and this forum made me to stay, and be part of the bitcoin community.

BTCWhat initially brought you into Bitcoin? and what made you stay?

No, BTC didn't bring me to Bitcoin in the first. I joined this bitcoin forum as a source of extra income when I was studying. But before that I have searched for various sources of income online even tried some sites in our country where we can earn our own domestic money by watching ads. Suddenly one day while going to computer class a friend of mine gave me an account but then I used to bounty on that account. I only did Bounty for about two to three years.

Then since the bounties were mostly scams ie mostly didn't pay I was not connected to this forum for long then joined again and started posting here. Since then, I have been slowly spending more time on this forum.
When doing the bounty I tried my best to earn bitcoins but couldn't. There was no other option but to buy bitcoins only with dollars.

Bitcoin was created to be a peer-to-peer currency, but most of the news about bitcoin that spreads on the internet is about its volatility and the profits it can generate. So I guess 99% of people are attracted to bitcoin's ability to generate profits. And what's kept people sticking with bitcoin so far is that people have really found what they need from bitcoin, which is profit and then privacy.

And you, why did you come to bitcoin? I guess profit is also what you are aiming for but I think once you have been in the market long enough and learn everything about bitcoin. You will see that bitcoin brings us more conveniences and benefits than just being a money-making tool.

I strongly agree with you, I have heard about it in the earliest days but at that time I was less than 10 years old so I didn't have the way to be able to go deeper into it but it made me curious about the world of virtual currencies. It wasn't until now that I got my first assistant job that I started to learn about the world of Bitcoin. I am eager to learn more about this fascinating world.

Not to burst the bubble but there's a lot of threads already about the same topic:

• Why are you investing in Bitcoin?
• Why did you choose bitcoin?
• Why Do You Use Bitcoin?
• What does BTC mean to you?

But for majority, I think one reason is that we want financial freedom and that's why we are here. But it doesn't mean though that Bitcoin is going to be solution to all our problems, just saying.

I found out about bitcoin from my friend, he told me about the benefits of investing in bitcoin, then I found out, it turned out that I tried some of my money for investment, not long after that I made a profit, until now I am interested in investing in bitcoin, my friend's service is very great, I should be grateful to my friend.

BTCWhat initially brought you into Bitcoin?

To be honest, Bitcointalk made me adopt Bitcoin eventually and it was possible because of the earning opportunity of the coin. I've known Bitcoin since 2013 (if I remember correctly), but I never adopted it then. By adoption, I mean buying and keeping it. But for usage, yes, I used it since then or a year after. But it was all about the buying and selling of the coin so that I could deposit it where it was accepted and withdraw it when needed.

However, Bitcointalk changed the narrative in 2022 when I started buying and HODLing it.

and what made you stay?

I stayed because the earning expectation which I adopted the coin for is positive.

I was already using centralized digital currency, so Bitcoin was a pure improvement.
