Yeah, I do.
It was a transaction to sports betting site and the match was about to start.
So after copying the address and sending the right amount, I was just keeping refreshing the blockchain transaction page looking for confirmations.
I can't remember when it was, but it was at least four years ago.

I certainly do. It was actually a PrimeDice deposit of a few bucks that later turned into dozens of bucks. It was my first "achievement" and at the same time the first time I ever gambled in my life. I remember the feeling I had when I sent my money, I felt like I just sent a thousand bucks..

Yeah i can still remember the first time I sent my Bitcoin to an exchange address. I was worried that I might do it wrong and my BTC gone. The moment I sent the amount, I checked the exchange but crediting is a bit delay so I did not see the transaction, that worries me much but then I check blockchain.info and I was relieved to see that I just send the Bitcoin to the right address.

Yeah, off course because it was my first time, when i did bitcoin transaction. Because i have a fear of lose my coins, and feel excitement, because i have no enough trust on it and secondly i thought may be i did wrong because in that time, i really didn't know confirm transaction but when my bitcoin transaction complete than i was happy with my first step of bitcoin.
January 29, 2017, 10:46:25 AM
I was happy because it was more easy than i though. Understanding the transactions was another thing

The first time I earned bitcoin here in signature campaign I was so excited to post it in social media for my friends and family to see it, that bitcoin is real and that you can really earn through bitcoin. And the first time I sent bitcoin am so nervous that I can't received it. But I received it after 30 minutes then I bought foods for my family.

I can't recall at all when my first transaction was. I spent most of what I made so I didn't bother keeping the private keys. I wouldn't suggest it.

Do you remember what it felt like the very first time you sent out a Bitcoin transaction to another address in your life? For some, it might have been an easy thing to do, especially for the geeks who were here when Bitcoin was born and it had not been valued and traded against fiat currency as following soon after, yet for others it can be very confusing to get things right.
Were you filled more with happiness, excitement or fear when you clicked that 'send' button? And in which year was it when that happened? Did it it turn out just fine, did your transaction arrive where intended?

I really don't, because when I got bitcoin qt, I had 0 BTC.
What's funny is, the first cryptocurrency I ever used was Dogecoin. I was lucky to mine like half a million DOGEs back in the day. I sold them for like 0.5 BTC, that was a great deal, I was lucky enough to get involved in the early days of mining that coin.
Since then, I didnt bother with mining.
So sending those DOGEs to the Cryptsy exchange was my first crypto transaction experience ever. I will always remember DOGE.

Yes I remember that first transaction which I made. It was the beginning of my adoption when I got some amount of bitcoin in my wallet and then I decided to sell them on exchange and to use it for my needs to feel the use of bitcoin as a currency. So I send that amount from my wallet to exchange.

Sure I can remember it as it can be tracked through my first bitcoin address. My first was few years ago when I sent some bits from my blockchain wallet to an exchange wallet.
I was so happy at that time because that's the first time I could exchange my collected bitcoin from faucet, giveaways, and others into fiat money. Even though the amount was not that big but the happiness is more than the amount

First time , I'm feel excited since I can convert my 0.02 into fiat on 2014 !
I need 5 month to collect 0.02 but I was happy that I can got amount. Sometimes, I set lowest fee transaction that lead me into unconfirm status for many days
but I have learned by experience why that can happen , etc

I can't remember the first transaction that I did but the feeling is the one that I can't forget. And in fact, I'm always feeling that way when I'm sending bitcoins to other address. I feel scared because I'm thinking that I might get wrong for copy and pasting the bitcoin address that I need to send. And it's get more scary when I read some statement here that they were tricked upon copying their address, when pasting a unique and other one showed up. I don't know if that is for real or just a troll.

Well I would say it was nerve cracking moment because I wanted to see how it was going to reflect in my account that I've sent it and it was actually to pay for a sports bet and it did go through as I expected and the rest they say its history. I've been transferring and receiving with ease and confidence.
January 29, 2017, 07:51:53 AM
I was afraid of sending to wrong address because I saw a friend was so sad when he sent bitcoin to a wrong address, so I checked a few times the address before sending. you know, I almost memorize the address because I saw it many times. haha. that was so funny actually.

Couple years ago,i seen an video in youtube that guy is making money just by leaving computer on 24 hours a day, then i tried to mine bitcoin with my computer, i felt that i was wasting my time because at the time already faster bitcoin mining chips was in the game, i got couple satoshies then i transfered them to blockchain wallet just for curiosity, again i felt that i was wasting my time, more years passed and now i make a living from bitcoin, most governments try to keep you down when you start business, they take allot of profit, well there's good rules in United Kingdom, people can not pay taxes years, it gives them time to become profitable, but with bitcoin i pay no taxes, i want to become bigger player to start paying them, i will not pay anything untill i earn a couple millions in bitcoin and have local business.

I don't remember, because was some good years ago.
But either was to test how wallet works, or to receive some payment for something.
One way or another, for sure was a small amount, not enough for me to feel something special about it

The very first time I sent a transaction: it was here on bitcointalk, to whitelist this account. I remember it was 0.00007756 btc by that time and I thought it was a scam of some sort. But after understanding everything I was able to send the money and start joining in discussions. That 7.7k satoshis helped me gain knowledge with bitcoin more than what a Google search could offer.

First time I had to pay online with bitcoin because the other payment options were not convenient for me I knew so little about this payment system and nothing about confirmation times. So I bought my coins through localbitcoins and before open my first wallet I paid and the bot of the site answered something like " to wait for a while and drink a cup of coffee". It was so weird because I thought it was a complicated process. So when the shop accepted my payment after a while I understood the potentiality of bitcoin as internet money.
January 29, 2017, 04:26:26 AM
Yeah when I bought a cup of coffee I just scanned the store's qr code and bam! Amazing

I cannot remember when I sent my first bitcoin transaction but I do remember the feeling. It is kinda exciting but worrying because of some thought that I might made a mistake and there is no taking back those BTC. Some how am a bit hessitant until I fully checked the address and the amount since it wa a payment to some service and I need to send an exact amound stated on the form together with the address.
Me too mate am so nervous because a friend of mine who introduce btc to me always reminding me that if i mistakenly send my btc to anybody it wouldnt be recover back so im so focus and i keep checking the wallet address where i will send my btc after all the transaction has been made that day i feel so good and thats the start of my interest with bitcoin investment.
