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

I needed to invest some money i got from a job i did then and the profit was really huge it wasn't the regular profits i do get often and i wanted where i could invest it and after which i will be able to get some profits from it passively and so i mentioned to one of my friends about my taught and he suggested bitcoin to me since i was looking at the long term so i quickly bought into the idea and then got to invest but before then i made sure he made known to me everything that i needed to know within the bitcoin space and the dynamics as well so i just had to make sure after that which he has show to me i went back on my on to further make some research after which i was able to get more knowledge on what bitcoin is all about and then i go to understand it better and till date I've got some bitcoin holdings of which i have benefited from and i can say for sure that there was never a point of regret venturing into  bitcoin because i didn't just depend on that which my friend has mentioned to me but i made sure i was able to further add to the knowledge i have gotten and for everything i was doin i knew better and my decisions were well informed because i had made sure to get additional knowledge to that which i had already to invest profitably and properly.

Initially I was introduced to a friend who was already familiar with Bitcoin, he said if I wanted to get Bitcoin I could work on one of the forums and platforms that held bounties first,
to this day I still persist in participating in bounties and airdrops, because I think hunting for crypto and bitcoin can make money and can help my family and partner's finances

For me, what initially got me into Bitcoin was the buzz around its potential to change how we think about money and finance.

[BABY SHOES]

If I'm not mistaken there is a thread where some members did an interview but I forgot the thread, it's about the first time knowing bitcoin.

Of course I came not by myself, behind it all there are friends who have known bitcoin for a long time until he said it was so profitable to invest in bitcoin that I was interested and learned more at the end now still surviving because it can produce and also still remain for HODL.

There are many true stories about bitcoin for the first time ... On social media platforms there is already a lot of education about this even starting from the basics, more people will know about bitcoin.

Hmm interesting, so you mean that there was no incident that happened with you that brought you here by any chance or intentionally, TBH honest most of the time this happens because of coincident as in my case i was worried about my pocket money then I started exploring different things and from there to here its a long story but I wasn't aware of the economics and financial markets but haha this effort of getting pocket money was one of my life's greatest change.

In a long journey, there are always many good and bad incidents and this makes a great story. Hehe, i know this is not a story-sharing thread, but form one's point of view it is.

Gaining Bitcoin is more likely getting a good amount of profits as well, as the value of every bitcoin is like a thousand folds of USD when converted. So obviously, we all come here for significant amount of profits, something that is hard to find when we only settle in our day job. Although the process how we get here varies, but still we end up with a common goal, that is to own bitcoin that will completely change our way of living.

however, I did not think at that time that it would be as popular as we are seeing now. Several years passed when I came across this forum on the Internet, and only after reading a lot of information here did I begin to believe in Bitcoin.

Oh well, I guess your case was different since you were fostered in a second-world country; The whole story lies in-between the level of infrastructural inadequacies at the time... It was appalling! I had a cellphone, but it wasn't smart so all I could do was just flip by any documentaries about cryptocurrencies...
If everyone had a clear foresight of what this was gonna turn out, maybe we wouldn't have any Bitcoins left to be mined today... right?

We can say that everything took a long time to learn, and I was skeptical, but now I can tell my children, whose age is close to yours, when you learn about Bitcoin and direct them in a more information-oriented direction.

Seriously.... I seen so many post, made in different angles on point, all summing up to one idea; should parents introduce Bitcoin to
their kids at a tender age?? Obviously yes!

I didnt get into Bitcoin because of some wild fantasy of lambos and mansions (though sure, that would be nice).  For me, it started with forex trading.  I was searching out new markets to expand my portfolio.  Thats when I discovered Bitcoin and this whole cryptocurrency universe.  It felt like entering the Wild West of finance - thrilling and risky, but I wanted to dig deeper and  this seemed like a completely new type of asset I had to wrap my head around.  Could these digital coins and blockchain technology fit into my trading plans somehow?  My curiosity was piqued so here I am.

it is a money opportunity and I stay until it is still there.
And I'm sure that the majority are of the same story and we can't deny the fact that even rich people invested in Bitcoin because of the profit potential and these people will remain as long as it is still profitable.

Bitcoin is not a scam nor a Ponzi Scheme game, people must know it and see what it changes in their lives.

The idea of earning online is the number one reason why most of us know about bitcoin. Ever since we know about that, I don't think there are any of us who are not enjoying the grants(profits) bitcoin offers to its investors by learning how to apply a DCA strategy of investing in bitcoin

Yes, I have to agree with you. With the inflation that we are currently facing, settling into a single source of income is never reliable at all, that’s when I decide to explore online opportunities to earn and gain, and that’s where I saw bitcoin that is being hyped. Although I have to admit that my first impression on bitcoin is just another ponzi scheme, but after in-depth research and studies, I learned that bitcoin is far from my assumption. And that’s when I started knowing about this forum from a friend of mine where all my fears and hesitations have been cleared up and finally trusted bitcoin.

It was fun when I first knew Bitcoin from the faucet. I had no idea what Bitcoin was and just playing with the faucet. Until finally I found an exchange that could help me to traded Bitcoin and I could sell it for fiat.

At that time I didn't believed it but I continued playing the faucet and I was able to gets more capital which I used for trading. Until finally crypto grew rapidly and became popular so I could get more coins to traded. From there I try to continue to increased the number of Bitcoins I have.

I persist because I believe Bitcoin is a way to change my life. I've got it, although not much, but I'm still trying. Until now I am still trying to have more Bitcoins.

Faucets in the early days are worth joining with but now, they are just a waste of time. Maybe there are a few left working but the majority seem to be scams. One reason why people are not interested in this anymore.

In past years, doubts were certainly on our minds, and only a few had the guts to take risk buying but now, that is kinda be witnessing the growing demand which is an indication that more and more people have opened their minds to accepting the reality that bitcoin is a good investment, not a waste of money like other people are saying. Perhaps, it is proven wise and this is how it attracts more people because it is known and bold to us how profitable it is when managed carefully.

I first learned about crypto when I joined an airdrop group, because at that time many of my friends were looking for coins from airdrops. Well, after I joined the group, I indirectly had to study crypto more broadly, so I discovered that the mother of all coins is Bitcoin, which is why I was interested in studying Bitcoin more deeply. Not long after, my friend introduced me to this forum to study Bitcoin, because in this forum we studied Bitcoin completely and it has a lot of history.

As time went by, I started to be interested in bitcoin until now, this keeps me going because bitcoin is an asset of the future and many people have successfully invested in bitcoin. The history of Bitcoin over the years also makes me believe that bitcoin is a good investment. Although I discovered Bitcoin late and have not been as successful as others, I believe investing in Bitcoin will allow me to achieve financial freedom one day.

I guess that 99% of all bitcoin users (this is not statistics) are drawn into this industry by greed, namely, to invest $1 and take back $2 (x3, x4 and so on). The rest, 1% (approximately) are interested in the technology itself. Over time, more people (out of 99%) become interested in the technical part. But still, initially, people are attracted by the explosive increase in the price of bitcoin. This is my opinion.

The reason for me to stay was the opportunities that bitcoin provides (one of which is financial freedom) and the fact that I don't know any more attractive financial instruments (that meet my needs).

A lot of us are using BTC today because someone introduced it to us as something we could make money from, even if that narrative isn't true in every case, i am happy someone told me that.

Coming into the network and having the desire to find out more about it will change that narrative and that is what happened, it is great to discover the real purpose why BTC was created, to be a censorship resistant and decentralized currency, one that is totally free of any central control, in order words, what initially brought you to the network shouldn't stop you from understanding its true purpose.

I'm also pretty sure that most of us started with bitcoin because of its profits. But what makes many people still stick with bitcoin to this day is not only because of the profits but also because of the many other benefits that bitcoin brings.

I don't deny that I was attracted to bitcoin's volatility in my early days in the market. But after spending some time researching bitcoin, I realized that bitcoin was providing many use cases that I desperately needed. Ignore the profit factor because this is what we all want, not just me. What interests me the most is that bitcoin has made me my own bank and I have full control over my assets, and this is my favorite use case when it comes to bitcoin. I don't hate banks, but I have never felt secure depositing much money in the bank or storing too much cash, and bitcoin has helped me solve my long-standing problem.

everyone have different objectives that brought them into cryptocurrency investment, why some persons go into bitcoin is due to they love its kind of investment.
Cryptocurrency investments myself while I joined this cryptocurrency mostly Bitcoin is because the investment don't really have a third party, it's you that will monitor your investment properly, so therefore I believe that the investment of Bitcoin is something that will give you comfort to stay in cryptocurrency investment if you understand the concept and also make a profit for the first trip of the investment.

I heard the word bitcoin from a friend of mine not quite long, I got some helping hands in terms of acquiring bitcoin knowledge more especially the forum. At first because of my interest I decided to buy my first coin while learning about bitcoin. I think there’s no other reason why I stayed mainly because bitcoin is totally different from ponzi scheme and other investment , People who got scammed from different online ponzi scheme can testify bitcoin is totally different.

As anyone knows, having bad payment processors is probably a great reason to start in the crypto world, it is usually quite important because we are talking about something that's a little bit more important there. I know that not everyone will think the same way, but that is just the way it is. I had trouble getting paid, and I was looking for work and that's how I found here.

Few people had some stuff they want someone to do, and I said ok, and I got paid easily and that was the end of the story for me. Never been back to fiat ever since, I have been earning my income for about 7 or so years I think, not sure exact date when I started because at the start I gave big breaks, but it has been quite long time since that happened for sure.

[famososMuertos]

The story is long... Internet; there was noise with this crypto technology, also I was fed up with e-wallets and bitcoin is and will be the best solution for payments on the Internet, and will be in the future conventionally for any payment offline.
