What else have Bitcoin done for you apart from making money

[100steeze]

It's taught me a lot.  For one,  It’s taught me patience, made me question what money really is, and connected me with people I’d never have met otherwise.

It's changed how I see value, built real discipline in me,  expanded my world, created good and profitable community for me,  sparked innovation.  Bitcoin has done a whole lot for real.

With bitcoin, I have an investment that is very affordable, easily accessible, long lasting and profitable. It would cost alot investing in real estate, gold or land. Anyone can invest in bitcoin as long as they have the capital to buy any amount of bitcoin they want and have a perfect plan that can help them become profitable in the future.

Again, bitcoin has been a saviour when I had issues transferring fiat to a vendor sometime ago. Fortunately the vendor was a crypto enthusiast, the transaction went smoothly and everyone was cool with it.

The fact that I can do my transactions without fear of being monitored or interrogated by a central authority is another aspect of bitcoin I am grateful for. I am really free from KYC issues with anyone.

There are people who has invested in Bitcoin and used Bitcoin to establish one or two things of their choice so I believe that is not everyone who invest in Bitcoin but I have not achieved where in Bitcoin starting from when Bitcoin were  introduce in 2010, so I know basically that bitcoin investment has made people to achieve many things such as

1. Business that yield a daily income
2. Achieved their own private building structure
3. Making a good established without government employment opportunities

Bitcoin has really done few things for me, because I just get to understand Bitcoin gradually, not that I'm just getting to know it but now I bring out my mind to get to understand it and this has impact another knowledge or ideas in my mind, that Bitcoin has given me the privilege to get to know that there are many ways to get money without even involving any illegal activities etc

[red4slash]

There's no denying that financial freedom, or at least an improvement in my current economic situation, is something I've experienced through Bitcoin. After all, in the current circumstances, Bitcoin has been a lifesaver for me, as I've at least reaped some benefits from the investments I've made while involved with Bitcoin.

This is enough for me to navigate the current economic conditions. Although it may not be as significant as what others or the wealthy have, at least with this situation, I can make myself more comfortable while others are facing difficulties.

This situation allows me to live more comfortably due to the financial freedom it provides, so I am truly grateful for the creation of Bitcoin, as its benefits are indeed felt by me personally.

What is that one thing that Bitcoin have done for you apart from making money?

What about you? Apart from the money that we can make holding Bitcoin what else have Bitcoin did better for you?

That money you keep apart is exactly what Bitcoin has done for me. I have used that money to achieve a lot of things, add a skill to my career, and now thinking of a business. Privacy too is part of it, just like others have mentioned in this thread. I can make payments with it online without thinking of the limit on my ATM card because Bitcoin has no limit on where you can use it or when you can use it, and many more other things which I have been exposed to because of it.

I know the answers will be different to everyone so my own answer is that Bitcoin improved my interest in cryptocurrency generally, I now have a better understanding about cryptocurrency than I did before and than I ever would have. I also observed that the interest that I got from Bitcoin concerning the cryptocurrency world has extended to other areas, as I now take opportunities in any digital space I come across more seriously than before. I was more of a person who believed in physical investment earlier, now I have believe in also digital investments.

What is that one thing that Bitcoin have done for you apart from making money?

I will go first, Privacy.
I choose Bitcoin to stay safe, My bank account is always on empty mode until I need some money, that's when I will swap some BTC for Fiat, leaving my bank account to almost zero again after using the money. There are few attacks and kidnaps that happened and got revealed that bank workers are giving out information to bad people.
I choose privacy not because I am hiding any criminal habits, I choose privacy to stay away from evil eyes.

I live a life of secrecy, because of my country big insecurities, I have fear towards people that are struggling more than those that are living in riches because lack of money is the root of evil.
I don't know bout others but when i got my first car many eye are so much on me, I was in my compound one day and I saw shadows of two men outside my gate, I knew the car must have attracted them, i had to return it and get something smaller, whenever I get a shiny object, things or gadget I feel so unsafe.

Few people even showed how envious they are, judging with the words of their mouth and sudden change of attitude, which makes me conclude that poor people are far more worse than the rich.
Having large amount of money in your bank account isn't even safe anymore, Bitcoin have solved this part better for me than anything else, atleast no one will know how much I have or worth.

What about you? Apart from the money that we can make holding Bitcoin what else have Bitcoin did better for you?

Bitcoin has done a lot for me since our path crossed, it has made me a lot wiser on the internet, I got to learn more about technology and I research more now, it has made me to be coordinated and patient in every aspect of life and I'm more careful now. Instead of being an open book to everyone and probably to scammers, Bitcoin has taught me to be more private than before and Bitcoin has made me feel secure for the future. With Bitcoin, I'm in control of my money. It's a digital age and Bitcoin has been an eye opener.

Bitcoin is a currency to brighten the future of every person, if people invest here and keep it for a long time, they will get a lot of returns in the future. Moreover, Bitcoin transactions are very easy and it happens very quickly without any hassle and its benefits are many. Moreover, Bitcoin is the best option in terms of protecting the privacy of the person, if you want to transact through a bank then you will have to face many difficulties here and your privacy will not be protected. But no matter how much money you transact in Bitcoin, it will protect your privacy and no one will ever be able to note you. People get a lot of benefits by using Bitcoin, so I like to use Bitcoin to protect my privacy.

[nullama]

I would say taking more time to consider things.

For example, have a look at this forum. Most other spaces in the web these days are usually just short messages that people just write without thinking too much into it.

But here, you actually have some kind of reputation. If you simply write useless stuff you will be called out or simply ignored.

In this forum you really have to add value in your posts to become a part of it. I like it.

Another benefit, besides making money from Bitcoin, is that it offers a high level of security. Every transaction can be made at any time. without having to wait for bank operating hours. Bitcoin transaction fees are often lower than traditional money transfer methods, especially for international transactions, and Bitcoin also provides new solutions to various problems in the traditional financial system.

It's true as you said, maintaining privacy and providing any information, whether it's assets or investments, openly or not. especially in front of strangers or the surrounding environment, this will make someone jealous and can also cause crime or threats to you. What else does Bitcoin do better for you? Bitcoin certainly allows individuals to have complete control over their assets without relying on banks or financial institutions. This provides freedom in managing and using their wealth.

[Sticky Bomb]

I came into bitcoin for freedom, like being able to access and put my money to use whenever I feel like without obstruction by anybody or any agency. Additionally I was free from the manipulations of the banking sector who holds my money and gives you less than 10% interst per annum on a stated which depreciates by more than that margin already within the specified period.

In my country, we experienced up to 350% or more currency devaluation in 3 years alone, Imagine someone who had his money in fixed deposit accounts and has gotten less than 40% profits even with compound interest, he is down by a whooping 310%.

If he had his money in bitcoin from that same time from middle of 2022, he should be up by more than 500% by now, so surely bitcoin is a proven hedge against inflation and currency depreciation

I became aware of it in the group i frequent on Telegram later and before in real life if we want to a lesser extent

That's nice, it's good you've taken precautions so as not to fall victim to scammers on that platform, joining different random crypto groups over there is risky and could make  you victimised, anyways Bitcoin has taught me lots of stuff, from being security conscious when it to finance, to privacy,  but one important than I've learnt since I knew about Bitcoin is patience learning to hodl Bitcoin for a long-term is a sign of discipline and it takes one to be patient to achieve such goal. Hodling for long-term can also guarantee a better life after retirement and that's what Bitcoin offers to people who believe in it.

Exactly, the money that the OP kept aside is the most important thing that Bitcoin has done for me too. Honestly, Bitcoin is a life changer because I have achieved a lot of things through Bitcoin, the knowledge alone is something that normally makes me feel happy all the time, because I was able to do things that I was not familiar with before smoothly online without any challenge. So am still looking forward for more achievement in the near future.

We get privacy from Bitcoin. But unfortunately, with monitoring from the government, that slowly disappear because when we send the money to our bank, and that is big, the bank will report it to the government. We can save our money in Bitcoin so we need to be careful when sending the money to other sources, such as banks.

I can feel safe having Bitcoin because I can prevent other people from watching my wealth. I can withdraw my Bitcoin in a small fraction without attracting attention from the bank or the government or even my neighbors.

I don't have a specific place to keep my Bitcoin like a safety box but I don't use a tiny thing to keep my Bitcoin in my wallet. Bitcoin is not like gold, where we need to have a specific place to hide it.

Yep, what you said is also a part of privacy.

It's important to have a choice to not show wealth to other people, even in the end government would successful to monitor how much people hold Bitcoin, but most people won't know us. This can't applies to real estate, once we bought the house/land, people will know us because information from mouth to mouth is quick to spread.

But here, you actually have some kind of reputation. If you simply write useless stuff you will be called out or simply ignored.

You're explaining about "Bitcointalk" than "Bitcoin".

I think you can find long and important written text on the other forums or social medias, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

You got a good advise here mate, some people always like to learn in a hard way which is bad, there are many traps in the so called social media groups looking for whom to get trapped, so it now becomes our duty as individuals be careful and set our boundaries, all those shits called signal group and whatever groups littered in telegram Bitcoin enthusiasts should stay off those are the house of scam.
As for learning, Bitcoin is an innovation, Bitcoin has made me to learn many things like the p2p transaction and other things too, Bitcoin has also save me the stress of putting all my money in the banks idly for the benefit of banks not mine, atleast I now understand the power and benefit of investing in Bitcoin and I will advise people to start from somewhere too since we all do it with the little we can.

Bitcoin has enabled me to increase my knowledge of cyber security.
Bitcoin has enabled me to know more about economics and economies and how they(money) work.
Bitcoin has enabled me to know about politics(government) better
Bitcoin has also enabled me to know about smart and innovative ways that businesses can grow.

Bitcoin make me to avoid getting scammed, it's fungible, so I won't get the fake version. This problem usually happen in gold, I might got scammed due to buying fake gold.

Safer to buy, if I want to buy real estates, I have to check the building/land, then verify the authenticity of the certificates, unfortunately there are many mafias in my country, the mafias are working with the government.

Bitcoin can only help you avoid buying fake version, it cannot help you avoid being scammed. Because scamming is human to human behavior, and as long as you can't control your greed. You can still get scammed even if you use bitcoin to make that transaction.

Although gold can be counterfeited, but some who buy fake gold because of greed and the desire to buy it cheaply. Because if they only go to jewelry stores, state-licensed gold processing stores, buying fake gold there is impossible.

Likewise, buying and selling bitcoins is only safe when you deal with reputable and liquid merchants or exchanges. Your bitcoin transaction is still not secure if you cannot verify the trustworthiness of the other party.
