How long have you been using Bitcoin?

[DanticRecuse]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

Your best bet is to go ahead and state your question... anyway, to answer the topic's question, I've been using bitcoin since late 2012. Unfortunately, back then, I was just playing poker on SWC and was not really holding onto much BTC for the early 2013 bubble.

[FattyMcButterpants]

well, i register on this forum on June 21, 2013, and i remember it being the same week that i bought my first coins. so around that date. wish i had bought more back then!

How much is it for a coin, and what do they do?

Also, if I don't want comments on a thread I post, is there a way to lock it or something along those lines? I tried looking at the rules post, but didn't see anything.

BTCitcoins are priced at $625 at preev.com today, you can lock a thread opened up by you by clicking the lock this topic option, I don't know if it is available for new members or not.

[Malin Keshar]

My first buy was 24 december, back in 2013.

My advice is read the intro material, the stick posts and the bitcoin faq.

It's been a very long time since I started my own topic, but I do recall there being a "lock" button (near reply, etc.) when you start a thread. So yes, you can do that. (pretty sure)

[Chrithu]

I've been using Bitcoin since April 2013. Mined a bit with GPU, did adclicking and tasksites, then took a break and got back in April this year. Started taking "advantage" of the signature campaigns here and try to help out newbies where I am able to. I used Bitcoin exclusively to buy games (bought steam wallet cards with Bitcoin and then bought games on Steam).

My advice for you is: Inform yourself. Most importantly inform yourself about wallets and security. Never be shy to ask question in this forum, there's a lot of helpful persons around here.

What a nice christmas gift you bought yourself. :3

[Gianluca95]

I use it since the Christmas days (27-28th december) but I knew bitcoin since 2010  (I'm so stupid because I bought my first bitcoin in 2013).

[Evilish]

I got my first BTC in the mid of 2012, but it was after the closure of Liberty Reserve I started to use it on a regular basis.

[giveBTCpls]

I've never had a full BTC. My first satoshi came from mining DOGE in the early days.

[zetaray]

I learnt about bitcoin since the beginning of 2014, more than half a year ago. I bought half a btc from a bitcoin ATM and now earning from signature deals.

[dbshck]

I think i knew about Bitcoin from a years ago. Probably got into Bitcoin because faucets, it used to be a great way to promote Bitcoin IMO.

If you wanna learn a lot about bitcoin, read the wiki https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_Page , and if you wanna ask and share anything about it, you're already in the right place

Beat me to it lol

OT: Just over 12 months, I've also learned everything I know about BTC from, Bitcoinwiki, VERY helpful to beginners.

[Domino]

I first heard of bitcoin in late 2013, and then joined bitcointalk soon after that and started using bitcoin for various things.

The price on bitstamp is $624 at this moment.
You can use it to buy goods and services (more and more businesses are accepting bitcoin), to donate, or sell it back for fiat money.

[littlewizard]

I have used for about 8 months, although I never buy anything with it.

[madken7777]

About a year.

Mostly selling to other users at small premium.

[Crypthal]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

The subject of the post does not match the body.

For the subject, I have been using bitcoin since the end of 2011.

For the body, what question do you have?

Crypthal

[KIRAZ]

Been into bitcoin world from 6 months, heard something in news. Now i encouraged all my friends to use it.

[Crypthal]

I use it since the Christmas days (27-28th december) but I knew bitcoin since 2010  (I'm so stupid because I bought my first bitcoin in 2013).

Same here, I knew about it in 2011, if I hard mined from the first day I would probably have a small fortune.

Crypthal

[s1ng]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

well... first time i know about bitcoin when i learn cryptography lesson at year 2013
Then i search more about bitcoin until i got some satosi  

I never expected that 1 BTC ever reach $1000
If only i knew BTC since 2009...i probably be a boss this time  

ADVICE :
*beware of this : Bitcoin trading has a high risk probability
Never hang your investment for BTC forever,
Today you can rich because holding BTC, but you can also be poor after 12 hours or less later...

[Sydboy]

I have been using bitcoin for about a year but I have only been on the forum since mid January

[FeelTheBeat]

I started using bitcoin in december 2013. But at first I bought LTC, because of a bubble. Worst decision ever (as LTC was going down all the time till then).

[Lorenzo]

Heard about Bitcoin in 2011. I pretty much ignored it until late last year during the November bubble. Fortunately I waited until earlier this year before buying BTC at half the price of the ATH and a bit more during the Mt. Gox crisis. Price has been going sideways since then.

[247crypto]

Who will start to pay with Bitcoin - www.VKcams.com accept them 

[cech4204a]

I'm aware of it now for 2 years, but i started ''using'' it in January 2014, when i first bought them. 2 days ago i bought coupon for bowling with BTC. We have a coupon site where you can buy anything there with BTC: traveling, food, products, services, whatever- really usefull.

[Minnlo]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

What kind of advice do you want? Advice for wallet client? Investment advice?

[michietn94]

[DannyElfman]

This thread would yield nearly the same type of answers if the question was:

"How long have you been using Heroin"

Haha

[Sindelar1938]

Since early 2013 but only joined the forum late 2013
Trade some, hoard some

[KuromaYoichi]

since 2013 , but ignored it until early 2014 
so it's only 7 month

[Datcracktho]

Imma new bie, i have 0.0 BTC

[Acidyo]

Ever since early 2013. Was too dumb not too hold long enough tho. But I've learned my lesson now and will only hold as much as possible for as long as possible.

[elliwilli]

Mid 2012, i saw it in a news article on arstechnica or something and mined it for a while. spent a few weeks mining it and got to 0.50...
Then i used it to buy humble bundles rather than holding onto it... i was a dumb ass.

[Bitsaurus]

I mined a little in end of 2010 but I didn't use my coins until 2011.  I average about 3 BTC purchases a week currently.

[gordoh]

Only since 2013. I wish I got in earlier though... 

[whiskey]

for 2 days now, but I do not have any bitcons yet 

[bitrex]

About a year

[Chemistry1988]

Late 2012 when I can get a bitcoin for just $11.
I wish I have bought bitcoin with all of my money and I can be retired now lol.

[Ayers]

2014, too late unfortunately, hope it will recover, and if bitcoin will touch 10k or 100k one day, it would be as if I had not lost the train

[mezmerizer9]

Well I've been using it for almost 1 year now. Never used it to buy anything but GH/s on CEX.IO. 

[Tammy Chan]

I have used it for a year now.

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

Could you be more specific on what kind of advice you want?

[michietn94]

i have used it for 2 month

i actually collect BTC from vote and giveaways
and do some investment too at https://golden-cows.com/en/?i=17041 \
u can try it
goodluck then

[Fenriswolf]

Have been studying it since the beginning of 2014, but only started 'looking for coins' yesterday 

And while such little time I can tell that learning from practice is awesome.

[nwfella]

I've been experimenting with bitcoin since early 2013.

My advice: "trust no one with custody of your coins"

[bitkanu]

 since 2011 but ignored it until June 2013 ,its more than one year's .
 these days i really enjoy experimenting with Bitcoins

[Buo]

"Using" intended as spending them to buy goods or services?
I was using them only since 2014.

[deepestfear]

Since late last year (2013)

[abora]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

i have been using bitcoin for 2 months now its fun

[DVC]

i know and use bitcoin since 5 months ago , but too bad i just registered in this forum now.
i always read some usefull information here

and in my country 1 btc mean big money , even 0.01 can make smile.
too bad i cant buy something here with btc , i must exchange it to real money first.

[cookiemonsterwhat]

I would say, for me I been using it since 2012 when thats the 1st time I discovered it.

The first time I heard about was some my friend mentioning something buying weed off silkroad but needed bitcoin.

2nd encounter was a few weeks later, I read a cnn article about virtual currency lol.

Its crazy its only been 2 years lol.

[BowieMan]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

Phew, I don't know... ummm I guess some time in 2013. Registered on this forum some time after. I think you need a month or so experience to know all the basics if you're really wanting to get involved in Bitcoin. But in order to survive the price swings and develop a thick skin you need at least 1 or 2 bubbles and definitely some crashes first!

[DannyElfman]

Very casual user now for 2 years and I power user year haha

[poisenrang]

Im into bitcoin for around 3 months now. best advice for you is to just google it:)

[botany]

I guess when a person joined this forum would give us an idea. 

[gelar24]

I use bitcoin already 1.5 years: D

but at the beginning of the year I was just looking through the site piecemeal small faucet

but now my bitcoin sizable income, maybe if the price is stable and the development of increasingly crowded I will forever use bitcoin

[CentCoin]

3 mounts

[soccosocco]

I just know bitcoin 4 months ago
income I know bitcoin early time initial charge from the faucet
and joined in this forum April 10, 2014

[InwardContour]

I knew bitcoins in late 2012 but I wasn't enough smart to invest some cash in it.
Later, in 2013, I bought some coins and used them for some small transactions buying electronic goods from the market.

[LorettaAndrews]

less than 1 year
it's late for me

[Cranky4u]

Heard of BTC in Q4 2010. Started mining in Q1 2011.

Have mined some coins but spent along the way - groceries, fuel, bills, etc...

Been supplementing my income through BTC for ~3years. It pays for hobbies and a few other bits and pieces.

[Mayuyu48]

9 months ago, when bitcoin price at the top of mountain
best part of it, i decide not buy bitcoin before learning the system
so i wait another month and buy some bitcoins

[thriftshopping]

I bought a few thousand BTC in late 2011, but sold them in mid 2012. Forgot about bitcoin until a few weeks ago. Bought some more, although not quote as many this time.

[Omikifuse]

I joined the train after the first chinese ban, december 2013. Found that join after a fall would be a good idea, because, bitcoin would recover sooner or later.

Was right and wrong, short term recover, then fall to half the ATH value

[lemfuture]

one year ago

[zhinkk]

Known it since like 2011, I wish I actually got into it. I actually got into it mid 2012.

[jaberwock]

End of 2012, but had the capacity of made little to no profit with all the bubbles along the way.

Trying to change that

[btcpokerface]

6 months ago but I was more focused on altcoins than bitcoin itself.

[Traffic4u]

About 2 years.
I know and used bitcoin since 2012 when coinbase launched. And i got my first bitcoin from coinbase.

[Febo]

I did few faucrets 2 years ago, when saw is really little i stopped after 2 days. about half year ago i remember and since BTC raised, was actually worth something what i got back then so i did few more, but saw they pay also lowered, so i got here. And start reading and bought soem to be able to buy Moneros. 

[giagantichash]

about week ago, and spend it for the games...well i hope im not gonna loosing my money for this 

[counter]

Just before faucets stopped giving away whole Bitcoins to people.  Sadly I never tried to get coins from more then 1 faucet at the time and it was down temporarily when I tried and I just never went back..
I hate thinking about those times honestly.

[claimore]

1 month 

[DannyElfman]

1 month 

You are still an early adopter! Why the sad face?

[hodap]

Have been using bitcoin for 6 months accepting payment for service and labor I provide.

[jaberwock]

Since the end of 2012.

[Baitty]

I guess I've been using Bitcoin for over a year now and time has been flying by whilst trying to earn more.

[Jamie_Boulder]

Have owned my btc for over 2 yrs however only avidly started 'using' it about a year ago.

[thew3apon]

about week ago, and spend it for the games...well i hope im not gonna loosing my money for this 

Since you spend it on games, its gone

[wasserman99]

I bought my first coins in late 2012/early 2013.

[mStark]

Well i have been dabbling in btc for a year now but never really "used" it.

Just have some stored, mined etc

[giagantichash]

Code:

[furlong]

About three months and fivety days

[DhaniBoy]

about 3 months

[the joint]

I've been using BTC since Summer 2011.

The market has evolved rapidly since then, but its still in its infancy.  Still, its amazing to see how much has happened since then and how far we've come

[KSpinner]

I have been using BTC for awhile now, probably since 2012. I have been involved in progrmming since I graduated university and that is what really sparked my interest in BTC!

I just started coding on my own recently, and figured I had better get out in the forums to make new acquaintances. Cheers mates.

[dKingston]

I been using bitcoin since 2010, but the problem is I have a weak hands.

[Sonny]

First heard of "bitcoin" a year ago, and have been earning it and holding it for like 7 months now.

[Mobius]

I've been using BTC since Summer 2011.

The market has evolved rapidly since then, but its still in its infancy.  Still, its amazing to see how much has happened since then and how far we've come

I am in the same boat as you, however I sold the majority of my coins that I mined as I mined them. I now wish that I had not done that. Do you still have any of the coins you bought/mined?

[aronnov]

well i registered at 9th august 2014, i hope that i can achiev the highest member to become follow signature campaign
also i can get a lot of discussion friends i here
hopefully ...

[oceans]

Your best bet if you are unsure of where to start when it comes to bitcoins is to ask as many questions as you feel you need to and do a lot of research before jumping in. I am sure there will be many people on the forum who will be more than happy to help you.

[heybigboy1]

Since 2012, I've seen it change drastically. I could say that I'm proud of it

[darkphantom934]

I first learned about BTC in 2011, but didn't really pay much attention to it as I thought it was a trend that was going to die. I still kick myself to this day about that. But I actually started dabbling with bitcoin in early 2013, and i've loved it ever since

[BitcoinAwesomeMan]

I learned about it a long time ago. BUt just recently started. Totally behind which I kick myself in the A$$ every single day.

agree with you, but i think dont waste too much time for research too

[HarmonLi]

Never used it before, and want some advice. Thank you.

I'm in since last year, so I've seen my fair share of bubbles already, but I'm not a lucky early adopter that has a huge stash of BTC, ready to retire But maybe I will be able to when the price goes up a bit more

[Pony789]

About half a year until now. I wish I had found bitcoin before the bull runs started

[cutesakura]

i've registered at august, 11 2014, may be this my first time to join with forum
i hope someone can help how to get bitcoin and using it, hopefully ...
