Topic: Are you interested in Bitcoin because of the concept or to get rich? - page 5. (Read 9658 times)

Easy concept.  See December of 2013 for an example of how people might get into Bitcoin to get rich:



Anybody that mined or bought BTC before that spike and held all their Bitcoin are now for the most part rich.

Capitalism and profit aren't evil and a nice consequence to us recognizing a superior framework.... but I wouldn't feel any regret for supporting the cause and investing my money, labor , and time into Bitcoin even if Bitcoin crashed.

Bitcoin represents an ideal far more important than profit. I have no faith in Bitcoin; I trust the principles and framework that it embodies. This is something no banker and regulator can corrupt or take away and if they try me and my friends will simply fork the blockchain. These agorist and open source principles are ideals to live by regardless of which label they fall under.

I dont get how bitcoin give the concept of getting rich...

I like Bitcoin because its cool lol. I also like how easy it is to send and receive bitcoin without going through hassles of the bank. I don't think I'll get rich from it, so far I haven't even seen the life on the other side of the decimal

Who doesnt want to get rich?

I am very interested in e currency. Every aspect of it.

I just want a piece of bitcoin action. Well, if I will get rich in doing so, then thats just my bonus. I do not own a big amount of btc but I love playing with it.

If you are interested in Bitcoin and invest you get rich as a side effect.

these are the same question.

For me, I like both of them, i like new things and in the mean time, I hope bitcoin can be a major payment system

Up until now, how long are you in this kind of "hobby"

I'd have to say both the concept is comes first for me. I have never been able to move money this easy in my entire life 

It would be misleading to say both cause it assumes yeah I think it's a great concepts and believe in what it's trying to achieve and also I am investing cause I think it will make money.

While this is true the two are connected. Just for example sake I could invest in some exotic financial product that traded on the Federal reserves ability to print money or maybe the likelyhood of war say I wouldn't want to invest in it even though I know it might give a good return.

I think there are some here that think of you want to make money then you would sell your granny for money like it's an immoral proposition. That's why you have all these alt coins that I refuse to invest in on principle even though I know they are good for a quick profit. I only invest in about 5 alts on top of Bitcoin, only ones which prove they exist to help the system and not to enrich themselves only. I look at developers like Qora and BC Next as people who genuinely are interested in the principles behind crypto currencies and are passionate about the technology. But be clear I'm only interested in 2nd gen coins cause I want a system that doesn't rely on exchanges, and can hold other forms of wealth like Gold and 'some fiat' convertability if needed later. Otherwise I'm 100% behind Bitcoin cause we have to stick as a community with one coin otherwise the mainstream will laugh at us and never take crypto seriously.

Honestly I think most on this forum have developed a 'can't beat them join them' attitude where they have thrown in their ideological towels and are following the scumbags that are trying to make a buck and want nothing more than a fist full of green fiat. Well I hope they do and I hope that fiat dissolves in their hands someday soon. It sickens me I have to argue with these people on here daily with their lies and pumped up bullshit spewing from their dishonest mouths. I hate the hype where they tell themselves on threads how once this all goes mainstream their shitcoin is going to make them rich. Collective fantasy and greed hoping somehow by expressing it enough it becomes real. Fuck em.

Both. I am interested in the concept and I also think that because of the concept, bitcoin will be worth a lot of money in 10 years.

The concept is what helped me find out about bitcoin. Now I wouldn't mind profiting from it as well. 

Getting rich is almost impossible for the late adopters like me, I'm interested in bitcoin because of the concept.

Not to get rich... Maybe to get some extra money from this hobby.

It just kind of "happened" for me.  One of my long-term clients got interested in bitcoin, and asked if I'd now be willing to accept bitcoin as payment instead.  I checked it out, seen it was easy enough to switch over to fiat so I said, "sure, sounds good".

Now 100% of all incoming funds are bitcoin, and I couldn't possibly imagine going back to the days of PayPal, wire transfers, merchant accounts with bank rules, regulations, limitations, etc.  Just thinking about all that pisses me off.

Maybe not get rich but get money outta it. I think everyone here is.

you forgot one: Introduce my next alt-coin to siphon more of your btc
