Topic: Has Bitcoin Helped Create Big Changes In Your Life? - page 8. (Read 1003 times)

Welcome to the forum!
I will advise that you should not think much about what bitcoin has done for many and what it will do for you. Study bitcoin first and try to invest in it. You are somewhat late but the timing is perfect. You can join the bandwagon now and I bet you will be equal or better than someone who join during the 2021 bull run.
Bitcoin must surely change your life if you are able to witness one halving and bull run. Just buy and hold you can be lucky, you don't know how near the bull run is.
Personally, bitcoin has really changed many things about me and the way I spend.

Welcome to the forum mate,  just a quick correction of some notions you carry about Bitcoin which are the mentality of bitcoin being a get rich scheme,  that type of mentality could lead to misunderstanding pf what bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are,  because when it comes to Bitcoin,  the chances of getting rich quick is highly slim since Bitcoin is already at the pick of it value increase and won't do any price pump that can make you become 10x richer and also it depend on the amount of bitcoin you are holding to determine how much percentage you earn when the price move upward at some point.

I won't entirely deny the fact that Bitcoin have change a lot of it holders financial status and most of those who bought Bitcoin when Bitcoin was around $3k or even at 15k and have a good amount of bitcoin their already is huge profits,  so the bottom line is that,  for you to be able to accumulate enough gain,  you need to hold your Bitcoin for the long term base.

Bitcoin has helped me pay for a lot of things I needed. Currently, it is helping me to pay bills and to have progress with my savings. Bitcoin has helped me feel financially in control as I have a source of income that is outside of my normal wage from working, hence I don't feel financially threatened when unexpected expenses appear out of nowhere. I feel more at ease knowing that I have savings, and investment that will help me even as I grow old and retire from my work.

Many people share their success stories with Bitcoin here, and listening to their success stories I can guess that behind every success story there is a failure story. I have gained a lot from bitcoin that I probably wouldn't have done at this time if I hadn't been involved with bitcoin. And that's why I said behind every success story there is a failure story because when I first invested in Bitcoin I didn't succeed from there but I lost most of my money because at that time I invested without having any idea about the market, Later, when I realized that I was foolish to invest without having enough understanding about investing, I realized my mistake and started studying about investing and trying to understand the market. Later when I got a good idea about the market I started investing again with some amount and that investment was successful for me. By investing in the second phase I was able to achieve the amount of profit I expected. Then gradually I increased my investment amount and till now my investment is running. I have gained a lot from Bitcoin in this long journey.

I'd say it had a significant impact, but largely indirectly, I guess. I've learned a lot about cryptos and about the economy that I probably would not have otherwise known, I got much more interested in following the news that are related to global economy as well. Moreover, I've learned about scams, basic security, became more mindful of my digital footprint. There were times when Bitcoin really helped me financially as well, hard times.
I don't think it made me more optimistic about the future, but it surely made me more aware of the flaws of traditional financial institutions.

Without Bitcoin, I would never be who I am today.

I was broke for years and in bad debt. My parents would always criticize my path and direction because of being unstable and not following their traditional footsteps in getting a stable office job like my younger sisters are.

I tried to prove them wrong by entering into the network marketing industry while keeping my work-at-home unstable freelance online work. I have given it all for years.

But I’ve failed. I was used and being treated like a clown. Long story.

When Bitcoin reached $10,000 for the first time last 2017, I knew I had to change direction that it was my only chance to turn my life around. Not because I can’t afford, but I’ve seen the opportunity.

So I gave up network marketing and started getting serious into Bitcoin, crypto and Web3 stuff. But things have gone downhill. As I entered, my network marketing “uplines” and “crosslines” don’t like it and told me to stop Bitcoin and continue doing better in the MLM industry.

But that’s not where my heart and passion is. Bitcoin and crypto is the calling.

I kept learning while maintaining my unstable freelancing career and also earned sats as an esports blog contributor. Then I got unfriended by many because of spreading words to various group chats that I am now promoting Bitcoin scams.

I know that they’ve misunderstood while I do. But I’ve kept going.

I kept looking for opportunities until I’ve learned about airdrops and bounty programs. That’s the beginning of turning my life around and finally had success.

Even during the bear market, I keep on learning new stuff, implementing new skills and getting into various opportunities in the crypto space over the years. I’ve traveled into multiple countries just to attend conferences, summits, events, etc., that gained me even more experience. 

That’s what made me who I am today. A Web3 educator, community builder keynote and panel speaker, KOL and ambassador, etc., and my parents have nothing to argue about it anymore. My doubters went silent until today.

It’s all because of Bitcoin and I give credit to that.

The only thing that changes in me is that now I am capable of not dealing with banks.
now I can pay online credits(from other parties around the world)
Now My life has extra source of income in long term bases.
but the main reason why i truly love Bitcoin? because this change my life in financial reason.

While you're daydreaming about the "great days ahead," remember that the tides of luck are erratic, unpredictable, and completely unconcerned with your goals

Yes, Bitcoin has shook our society's conventions to their very core. Many people see it as more than simply money; they see it as a revolution against the status quo. My weekly earnings have altered, and by golly, it has even affected the coffee I buy each morning. However, it's a risk, just like the ones I cherish. It has the power to make or break a person

Future-oriented optimism? Excitement? In my opinion, the pleasure of the game and the element of surprise it provides are more important. Who am I, though, to lower your spirits? Also, welcome to the forum

Bitcoin is indeed a potential asset, but no matter how good it is, it is still an investment and an investment will have losses and gains. I mean, it cannot give us a steady source of income so it would be foolish for someone to consider bitcoin investment as the main source of income. Furthermore, due to the volatility and unpredictability of bitcoin, there is no guarantee that it will always be profitable for us, so never completely depend on it. Even those who have been successful with bitcoin always have a main outside job and bitcoin is still just an additional source of income.

I can see this is your first post on this forum, and if this is likely to be a survey, then Yes, Bitcoin have really been a life changer for me ever since I joined this forum, and started earning a certain fraction of it weekly. Because without this Satoshi's invention, I just wonder how life would have been for majority of people here on & off this forum, as Bitcoin has been one currency that saved people from inflation, control over their funds and made many millionaires who grabbed into it at it's early stage, and still about to make more people future millionaires for those who could key into it now and be patient to hold for the next 10yrs.

First getting to know Bitcoin made me understand how important an investment is because until now Bitcoin was considered more as an investment asset than as a currency, and when we want to start investing then it will really help us to be able to improve the economy for the better slowly.
But no less important will the presence of Bitcoin is to make its holders have decentralized assets and can use them for online transactions without having to rely on a centralized platform that can often freeze the assets of its users when the platform considers there are suspicious things, while Bitcoin will make we are free from such things unless we use custodial wallet which not only can make they freeze our assets but we also don't have access to PK which is the key to the security of our assets.

in reality there must be people who feel helped by the existence of bitcoin such as getting benefits from investing in bitcoin and there are those who experience losses because of investing in btc, and the cause of investment losses in btc is usually due to a lack of knowledge.

to be honest, I personally feel helped by the existence of btc, and my economy is increasing with the existence of btc because I invest in it. so of course there has been a big change in my life since i invested in btc because my economy is getting more advanced.

That's off topic, the @OP didn't ask a question about the rule in this forum and he didn't broke any rule. If you think Bitcoin Discussion isn't the right section, you can report this thread to Beginners & Help section.

Bitcoin isn't something like a side business, you're only invest in Bitcoin and wait until bull run, along to reach the bull run you're not doing anything with your coins. But I agree with your last sentence because it could help someone else financial.

The best thing with Bitcoin is that you can continue to do your job or business and along with it you can invest in Bitcoin. I have a full time job and Bitcoin is my side business, so far its a smooth journey. I don't recommend anyone to leave his job for Bitcoin rather adopt it as side business and trust me you will love the additional income coming rom it. One bonus thing is weekly payment coming from this forum from signature campaign.   

We can accept that Bitcoin can change a person's life, because when an unemployed person invests Bitcoin, he has a place to earn monthly or weekly. For example when I was not joining this crypto I didn't have any income and I didn't have any site to make money. I could not earn any money weekly or monthly but had to live with money from my family which was really sad for me. But when I am related to Bitcoin and work patiently for a long time and one time I can earn some amount of money from here. And the amount of money I can earn monthly or weekly now makes me happy which has really changed my life a lot with this Bitcoin. So I've always loved Bitcoin and I see it as an asset because Bitcoin has changed some of the continuity of my life. If you want to fulfill your future dreams by investing this Bitcoin, then it is definitely possible because we can definitely earn a lot from Bitcoin, it is possible to change a person's life by investing in Bitcoin.

You are welcome to the forum. Hope you will enjoy your stay here and achieve your goals. But you should note that the best goal to have for now is to learn about bitcoin and the forum. Some people earn bitcoin and they use it to take care of their basic needs. This set of people will agree that the currency has changed the way that they spend. Others are traders that make money from exchanging bitcoin for other currencies and the other way around. Their daily or weekly earning has changed the way they shop or spend.

While other people buy or earn Bitcoin with no intention of spending it now. They have plans for their accumulation, methods of holding, and when to sell. This set of people sees the future of bitcoin and is optimistic that they are securing their future. They believe that bitcoin has the potential of contributing to their financial upliftment. Bitcoin promotes privacy and decentralization, but some questions would reduce these benefits.

Bitcoin has has not changed my life but improved it. My earnings are in BTC which means my financial life is stable now. But still in slight ups and dumps I have to face some difficulties but I am so optimistic about BTC that I bear the loss and remain still until market goes up. And always try to do DCA. Because DCA helps us to get more satoshies.

My thoughts about BTC are so optimistic and I think BTC is going to make another ATH in 2025. Now by the grace of Allah Almighty I managed to Invest my first $1k in BTC and now I will see how my investment will come out. Finger are still crossed but I did not played gamble here because I have good knowledge and TBH I am doing holding so I will be ok.

Yes, it completely changed the way I spend and also look at money. I have now started to "save" more money, because I have new goals to save for, namely financial freedom for my family.

Life has become so expensive with inflation skyrocketing and fuel prices going through the roof. The high interest on debt are killing the middle class and the rich are getting richer. (Bitcoin has been one of the only investments that killed inflation) 

As you said, many great days ahead, that's how others and I feel that have started first.
Being rich or not depends on how a person manages his money and the standard of being rich is different for everyone, so it's true that there's no need to question it.
Personally, I have experienced a very big change in myself after getting to know Bitcoin, the most influential is an increasingly optimistic mindset that in the future I will be able to do better and a lot.
It's not too late in my opinion, you can start in earnest and even make it possible for you to surpass many people.

Yes it did. Bitcoin helped me to understand the financial system. Thanks to bitcoin, now I understand why having sound money is important. I learned a lot about technical analysis, stocks, commodities and bonds. I was probably going to study these topics anyway but bitcoin quickened the process so I can't thank bitcoin enough. The most important investment lesson I learned from bitcoin is, "dollar cost averaging". Investing on a monthly or weekly basis is the most fool-proof method to make money on the markets. Bitcoin also helped me to buy/sell some stuff which is normally impossible for me to buy/sell because of the payment method limitations. Bitcoin removes borders.
