* which country / continent are you from? Hello this is my very 1st post. I'm from the USA, born and raised in Brooklyn NY. I'm creating this post to introduce myself and my new account. As you may be able to tell from my forum name I am representing GCOX the world's first crypto token exchange that helps celebrities create, list and trade their own crypto tokens, known as Celebrity Tokens. I will be making a more detailed post in the announcement thread about our company and our projects.
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies? I personally have been in the crypto space since 2012. I first heard about Bitcoin from an interview about Max Keiser. He was talking about the benefits about this new form of money. He said the word bitcoin but I could not understand what he was saying because I never heard the word before. It was only after slowing down and rewinding the video multiple times that I was able to make some sense of the word he said. After typing in what I thought he said several times into the google that I was able to get results that matched something that would be money.
* when did you enter this market seriously? When I first heard about bitcoin in 2012 I was completely fascinated by the concept. I started to research and read as much as I could for about 3-6 months before I purchased my first satoshis. It wasn't long after that I tried out mining sha-256 with Butterfly labs FPGA's, then GPU's and ASICS. And yes for those that were around in the days of Butterfly labs I did pre-order their "1 more week" ASICS. For those that were not around the Asics were finally delivered months after the expected delivery date. At that point they were doorstops because of the increase in difficulty and the suspicion they were mining on the hardware before shipping.
* what are your hopes to get into this market? I got into crypto and work full time in this industry with the intention of helping build out an alternative to the fiat system.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favorites? Some of my long-term investment buckets are bitcoin, eth, ltc, EOS, 0x, xlm, bch, zec, xmr and few others.
* are there any cryptocurrencies you don’t like? Too many to list.
* tell us your risk-taking propensity? I don't invest more than I can afford to lose or keeps me up at night.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums? Bitcointalk like bitcoin is the original grandaddy. It's where it all started.

Hello
I'm from Asia. Heard first time about Bitcoin in Nov/ Dec 2016 and Ripple was in news too. Invested a lot in Ripple, money tripled and I bought more because I was a noob. Didn't know when to sell, so ultimately got rekt, lost 80% of the amount invested. Started learning from there, still learning. After that, didn't lose anything but haven't earned anything also. But I'm optimistic, I'll learn more and continue investing. My biggest mistake was to enter market without any knowledge and investing a huge amount (for me). Crypto is interesting.

Wn interesting and useful topic for beginners and people with experience for the exchange of information, and Bitlcointalk is considered one of the top forums about crypto currency
I could invest to bitcoin at three years ago.
but I didn't it.
I regret but I will wait for the next opportunity.

Just as a refresher, here's some guidance from the "Newbies - read before posting" thread.
The introductions are great, let's just keep them "substantial"...tell us something real about yourself!

Job well done! Thanks for creating a home for us newbies!
Do you know Ucash?
I invested in Ucash, I failed the first time in crypto.
Ucash is like a big lesson to me. At that time I was a newbie.
After that time, I started to learn more about Crypto.

* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies? So I heard about bitcoin back in 2013 and regret not buying it back then 😑

* what are your hopes to get into this market? Honestly i’m In this for the long run, it looks promising.
* which cryptocurrencies are your Favorites? Currently I’m investing in bitcoin, ripple and diet bitcoin.
* are there any cryptocurrencies you don’t like? No not really. Since everyone has a different purpose.
* tell us your risk-taking propensity? I’m young but I’m not dumb so I’ll go as far to spend enough where I can still continue my day happily if I end up taking a loss.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums. This is the first one I heard about when researching diet bitcoin.

Hey, nice one! Great to hear we have some similarities
If everyone tells here how he came into this, we will hear very interesting stories. And in the end we will find some similarities even our dates of entering into this market are quite different.

Good work mate. It's gonna be fun.
* which country / continent are you from?
127.0.0.1 (localhost), I have no county, no race. The am belongs to the earth.
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
One of my mad friend yelled about Bitcoin when he lost money in Binary Trading. It was like, "I better buy some Bitcoin". Since he is a mad one, no one never took it seriously. The year is may be 2011/12. I can not recall the exact year.
* what are your hopes to get into this market?
Cryptocurrency Market? Well I am not a fan of centralized corporation. They are dividing the whole world, media is their slave and they are manipulating the citizens. Banking is needed but we do not need a bank.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
Obviously Bitcoin, then ETH. There are few more though.
* are there any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
Not any specific one. I hate it when people say Ripple is a cryptocurrency. Ripple is a shame for the entire crypto space.
* tell us your risk-taking propensity
I can risk everything in something I believe in. I have done it a lot in past. I failed in the most but I had enough success as well.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums
I like the tendency of proving myself in anything. I may not stick to BitcoinTalk if there were no merit system. I am member with few other forums but not much active in those. I figured, I do not find much motivation over there.
hello! I am Thanh, i live in VietNam, Nice to meet you.
I am also a newbie, looking forward to sharing your experiences

OP was updated. Feel free to write your "first post" no matter what's your rank!
* which country / continent are you from?
Europe. You can predict my country by looking at my nickname
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
I'm not sure when exactly I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, maybe in 2014. I joined Bitcoin world in 2015. I was looking for methods to earn some money online. I used PTC websites, but it was basically waste of time. Then I saw many advertisements of Freebitco.in. Then I thought that Bitcoin is something like rocket science and it's not beginner friendly thing. But I tried to register on Freebitco.in, created wallets on Coinbase and Blockchain.info. This is how my journey started.
* what are your hopes to get into this market?
Good question. I like idea to be independent from banks, stay anonymous. And it's nice to earn some extra money by doing various crypto related activities.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
Bitcoin, obviously! Don't know exact reason why, but I'm old fan of Dogecoin. I also like NEM - in my opinion it's solid coin with strong team, nice community and serious plans.
* do you have any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
Ripple, but I don't call it as cryptocurrency. USDT. And lot of shitcoins and shittokens.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums
When I was newbie, Bitcointalk was first forum which I discovered. I have accounts on some other forums, but I don't use it much. Bitcointalk is biggest and most popular forum, I find everything what I need here. Other forums just don't have many active users.
And there is another reason. I had to promote my own faucet list - Bitcointalk is a great place to get many vistors to my website.

I did it already above, mdayonliner asked for it. And yes, USDT is one of these creations we don't need. I don't like it too.
