When did you get into BTC and why?

[Hamuki]

Hey Bitcoin talk.

So... As the title says.. How did you get into this wonderful world?

I made my first investment back in November 2013 into Goldcoin.
I invest around 20$ of BTC into it, and I managed to pump the value of it from 0.0053$ to 0.18$ that I sold at.
Which gave me 666.666$ profit... Such a funny number when you think about it! xD

It was not my intention to pump it like that, but I had no knowledge of the cryptoworld.

I was argueing with some users from the GLD community and I was pissed, so I sold out and the days after it crashed hard in price.

I was hooked when I got that big of a profit.

Thats how I got in.

What about you?

I got my first bitcoins exactly 2 years and 1 day ago.
I actually celebrated my bitcoin birthday yesterday.

No, just prayer and meditation.

Just before christmas a friend was telling me how he could buy weed from a place called silkroad so i took a look with him and was hooked on the technology, it is amazing how it can bring freedom to those that use it. It bypasses the control that the banks have and that is the biggest selling point for me personally. Now i am here i will be here until the blockchain gives out it's last transaction or when i give me last breath whichever comes sooner i guess. A roller coaster ride only us bitcoiners know the feeling of.

Hehe, I dont give a f*ck about the BTC price I am just here for the fun and the great community.

So I guess back in 2014 or something since you account has 200+ activity.

I actually forgot to tell why I got into bitcoin.

Well, I heard about it somewhere around 2012 but thought it was funny money.
I read some news items about bitcoin a few times and still thought it was funny money.
Then early 2013 I read a news article about Mega.co.nz accepting bitcoin for payments.

I took exactly 10 days to read everything about bitcoin and become convinced and bought some (CHEAP!) coins.

Since then it's all unicorns

Ohh.... So you are one of those who found it earlie and made a lot of money...

Or do you want to kill yourself because you did not buy enough and sold at 1k$+ in Dec 2013.

Late 2013, that is what it is all about the 'community' we are all crazy but also wide awake and understand this world in ways 75% of the world do not. Like minded people on the same journey when we all understand that and actually join forces and help each other that is the day when the outside world will pay attention to this awesome tech. There is so much to laugh about lurking about this forum i do get a lot of laughs aha, that is right me neither i will be honest to begin with i could not stop following the price but now i only know the price when someone posts about a small rise of loss i am passed what the price is doing i guess because we have invested what we can afford to lose..

No, I found it in 2013, four years too late.

and made a lot of money...

Define money.
Bitcoin, gold and oil you can call money.
Dollars and euro's are currency.

If you read carefully I only bought and never really sold.
You can call me a bag holder.
I'm not in this game to 'make money'. I'm in this game to spend it sometimes, for real stuff like goods and services.

Or do you want to kill yourself because you did not buy enough and sold at 1k$+ in Dec 2013.

No, I hate fiat and try to convert as much of it into bitcoin and hope to never have to deal with euros ever again in my life.
That's my goal.

All people who 'invest' in bitcoin to earn dollars or euros are a bunch of morons in my opinion.
Yes, i did trade some, but only to get more bitcoins.

The moment I got rid of some coins was when I spent them on goods (beer/food/electronics).
I do not regret that I spent them, I made sure that I bought them back the next day for stinking fiat.

Bitcoin will never become worthless for me because it learned me the most important lessons of my life.
It doesn't matter if someone is willing to trade them for goods and services one day, I already got some priceless knowledge due to bitcoin.

right after the 266 bubble

i invested because i learned about the bitcoin concept and became a fan of it. Also i knew since around 2010 that the fiat bubble will eventually collapse (still didnt happen yet)

Why hate fiat that bloody much?

Although I don't like fiat currencies as well, but I really think that you're being a bit extreme here.

So you basically use bitcoins to buy everything now?

Hmm... The dollar will die soon.. It wont last.

Fiat is controlled by banks and government and it can screw you over if they want to.

That can not happen with BTC.
You are the lord of the coins.

Because it is evil.
There are mofos who can legally counterfeit it.
It is like stealing your lifeblood, your energy.
It's a parasite in disguise.
Every finite form of money is one gazillion times better than fiat.

Although I don't like fiat currencies as well, but I really think that you're being a bit extreme here.

Yes I am.
And I don't care.

I managed to de-attach from the mental fiat enslavery and switched it for bitcoin enslavery.
Feels much much better.

So you basically use bitcoins to buy everything now?

No, rarely.
And if i spend them I make sure i buy them back the day after.

~Hamuki

I started getting serious in crypto roughly about the time when this account was created. And during that initially period I was more interested in quark rather than bitcoin. Was basically attracted about how fast the confirmation time is, the security, no cap limit, but after having seen the internal squabbling within the community itself, I just decided to leave. And I think I've made the right choice.

Hmm... I jump from coin to coin depending on the devs and how serious they are about heir coin idea and good they work on their projects.

[Rude Boy]

i came to know bitcoins since november 2014
i saw @ some PTC websites that 'accepted bitcoinss' so i've tried to know about bitcoins and now interacted with it

Hmm... PTC.. I did those back in 2013 and I made like 7$ and invested 20$.. So a loss of 13$ and a lot of time..
BTC investments are better.. I have made around 10k$ from investments since I joined.. And I havent done much...

LOL

[Tongkar]

I got into btc a while ago. I was watching a live stream  starring keemstar and he was bitcoin gambling. He was playing at casino called bitcoinvideocasino and he hit 5 wilds on the slots and he was jumping and yelling out 15 BITCOIN 15 BITCOIN  . I was so confused intill they converted the funds it was 5,131$. Then I got really interested knowing the value. Well that's how I got into bitcoin..

cheers
