Now im dizzy where i get money other than bitcoin ..
there is no other way for people like me other than from bitcoin, bitcoin greatly helped

I agree. Bitcoin has taken over. I'm only 6 short of having 400BTC in cold storage. It pays for my life now and the future. Mind you, I don't put all my eggs in 1 basket. I trade approx. 25% of my coins for gold. Gotta have backups.

A lot of people were suckered in by the fraudulent price manipulation in 2013 by mt gox. I'd still be weary of holding btc for any length of time becasue I think more damage has been done to peoples confidence in btc than you may realize. Plus large investors aren't going to risk losing their money if a govt decides they want to outlaw btc use.

That is true. Atleast BTC2 million has been stolen in various exchange hacks and wallet robberies since the start of 2014. That is, 15% of all the Bitcoins in circulation has been stolen in a period of just 15 months. This can't go on like this.

I agree. I think this fact alone (ignoring even the wild price swings & many scams) is bad news for btc. Enough to make any super-bull turn into a bear. If you dont think this is a major issue, you're crazy. Also the fact that nothing at all has been resolved as to where these stolen btc are going is even more torubling.

Also add the fact that "satoshi" controls a large percent of the btc in cirtculation...

I was first attracted to Bitcoins because it is an exciting, historic 'libertarian' revolution.

Haha, so true.

In a not so far future there will be no need for physical interaction.

I wouldn't say 'improved' - just made certain aspects of life a little easier, there's defiantly more to life than money...

I hope this is a joke...

but seriously I think if anything btc can show people that govt issued currencies are not the only means of transferring money. I think it also should open peoples eyes up to the many many problems with govt fiat, including inflation, counterfeiting and financial fraud. with BTC, these issues are a lot harder.

I can draw your avatar!

It helped me, searching for what I realy want in life, taking control back in my hands, that is what Satoshi and bitcoin made clear to me, I have been too chained to my own self image that has been pretty low, not only due to bitcoin, but it helped a lot. Bitcoin made it possible for me to easily pursue things that make me happy in life and get paid too. The world is my market now, that is what bitcoin brought me

I started doing doodles for bitcoin and people seem to like it a lot! And I really enjoy drawing, creating and making people happy with a simple thing as a doodle or drawing.

I think it changed my outlook on "money" ..... I have learned a lot in a very short period and it's not just about "money"

I would most probably not invested any time to understand "Cryptography" and I did with Bitcoin.

I have began to research "Economic" jargon and lingo and ways of making money and how to give back more than what you receive.
My "Pay it forward" principle was once again re-enforced, when I started using and researching Bitcoins.

I would say, it is VERY positive. Grin

Personally for me is yes. Im student of university, in my country if you want to have good work

for your finance you must have a title of degree and its not short time and the cost is not cheap.

Then i found bitcoin and online freelance which i can earn some money from there.

Its useful for pay my university cost.

Most importantly it taught me that big ideas are worth pursuing. Even if their probability of success seems small. It is worth trying to change the world and making it a better place. Small groups of smart, motivated people can really make a difference! 3 years ago when I started learning about bitcoin, I was certain it would get shut down and would be killed in the crib... Absolutely amazing where we are now!

Making me lots of BTCBTCBTC was a nice plus as well Grin
