Several years ago? How many years exactly?
Almost a decade. I was super young at the time and was just playing around with my cashier paychecks at the time.
If you're generous enough to donate half a bitcoin,I'll be glad to receive one.I might as well keep this generosity up by helping the fellow newbies who post in this thread.Do I qualify for the donation?
Let's see! How long ago did you start using bitcoin? Also, what's your income, and is there something important you're saving up for? Feel free to be as honest as ever. I'm really up for donating during the holiday season. I just got back from a several month hiatus and finding out about this 1k jump has got me super generous for some reason.
You were lucky, good for you. Would be great to share more details about your story (why did you purchased BTC? Was it intentional or you just tried and forgot about them?)
I guess there is much more people like you. Actually anybody who purchased some BTC before the great price peek at the turn of 2013 is in similar situation but I don't think it is wise from you to just donate it to anybody who asks.
Don't know your financial situation maybe you can afford it (personally I'm quite greedy and every single BTC I earned so far has a value for me and definitely would not give them away). but if I were in your position I would rather focus to support development of new bitcoin service like wallet, auction, social or gambling site (check the development section).
To my opinion this contributes to bitcoin community much more than donating few random users who can just gamble it off (you never know).
Nevertheless we have an adage in my native language "Stupid who gives, stupider who rejects" (no offence, I'm not even sure if it makes sense when translated) so I'll just give a try and ask you to donate me 0.2 BTC (find addy in my profile).
It was half intentional and half by chance. At the time I was really young and only had $200-300 to spare. I was living paycheck to paycheck so I just thought "Hey, you never know". I guess my outlook here is to just trust your instincts and go with your gut. If something feels right to do, just do it. If it doesn't, don't. My financial situation is slightly better. I work three jobs right now and finding out about this money sitting in my wallet means I'm free to make some nice investments. As much as I love donating, I'd only donate to a few who really need it to buy food to eat or are in military homes. Next amount of money I give has to be an investment.
Well, let's see if you do! How long ago did you start using BTC? Are you a low income home owner? Facing any debt? Struggling to any degree? Give me as much detail as possible to higher your chances of getting a donation.
