I had no idea what the hack cryptocurrencies are or why are people going crazy about it! I am a writer by profession. As a part of my daily practice, I try to read content on a wide diversity of topics and stumbled upon blogs pointing to Elon Musk's Twitter and his manipulation of the cryptocurrency market.
Therein I decided to know everything about the crypo. Currently, I am hodling a few of the top coins in scare amount, not bitcoin!

Since I had no expertise, I decided that staking will be the best strategy rather than trading. Here https://ttnex.io, I bought Ethereum.

But, I have been so long that now I want to become a trade as I hear and see so many people making unbelievable amounts of money with day trading.

I will be happy if anyone can suggest me some strategies. Though I do the math every day seeing the changes in prices, I am still not confident to start trading.

i heard bitcoin on my friend who really interested to discover some stuff around the internet, and yes at first for me bitcoin is just nothing because that time your earnings from it is too small because the price is too cheap as well. And bitcoin isn't performing well but after months it becomes trending all around the internet even in television because of some rumors until the price rapidly increase and makes ATH and we really saw our money grow form our mobile wallet we are very happy that time. Lol But now seems not even the price really improved a lot.. I dont know why, maybe it's because of our losses from it? Lol

A friend told me about bitcoin & he has a lot more money than me so I trusted his advice & bought. Suffice to say it has worked out very well for me as a 2015 adopter.
just like me who was told by a friend...

in the middle of 2017, I asked my friend if there was a vacancy at his workplace but he said he had left his job and focused on participating in campaigns in bitcointalk forum, it was from him that I learned about Bitcoin and this amazing forum.

I knew about bitcoin quite early, since I was a playful, destructive, innocent boy. I forgot them by date, I even forgot the name bitcoin still exists. And until, early in 2018, I was reunited with my cousin while on a flight, he shared his progress to become rich, full, financially free... I was suddenly realized, I missed my trip. I dived into investing and was really unlucky there.
But now, I won't lose that opportunity again.

A long time ago I made money in the Forex market. At that time, few people heard about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. But when I tried to trade cryptocurrency, it turned out to be much easier and you can earn much more. Also, check here https://bikkex.com/fees what low fees are now on the exchange that I use.

I've heard about it about 7-8 years ago. I just saw news on the internet that some guy bought pizza with bitcoins and it's price went up. But it wasn't so high as now, haha.

it's like a normal thing, because it seems to hear the name coin, I just thought, this is a game as usual and then exchanged for a small amount of money, but, when I tried to get in, it turned out to be very amazing, even very quickly changed my economy, I became able to buy whatever I wanted for my own money.

I have heard from my friend that lots of people buy this coins and it may give a good profit one day. It sounded like something unreal, but after having learnt in deep about btc and crypto I started to be interested in crypto more seriously.
Now that you've learned more, hopefully, you're seeing that it's more than just another investment asset.

Right now, i put all of my money into crypto and i believe in the future my investment will be my the best lotere i've ever buy.
"Putting all your eggs in one basket" isn't a smart choice and since you mentioned crypto, instead of BTCitcoin, then I'm assuming you think that owning various cryptocurrencies counts as diversification but it doesn't [if BTCitcoin crashes, most likely others would follow as well (with the exception of a few)].

@unotohero
I'll quote myself, instead of repeating what I've said in an interview:

~Snipped~
Back in the day [early 2011], I used to be a gamer [FPS games, PC] and in one of the Facebook groups [gaming & PC build niche] that I was part of, there was a dedicated section that mentioned about BTCitcoin mining and I said to myself: "I already have the gear, I might as well use it to earn something back". So I did some GPU mining and everything was great for the first couple of months until my GPU died and I decided to completely abandon both mining and BTCitcoin as a whole [I was on a limited budget since I was just a college student].

Hmmm let me think about it. I think the first time i heard about bitcoin in 2016, i know bitcoin from the famous forum in my country (Kaskus).

At that time, i've been looking to get extra money from that forum and most of that of members push me to do faucet to get token.

After doing the faucet, lucky me i know more information from this amazing forum (Bitcointalk) and i learned a lot from this forum and I am very grateful for this forum.

I first heard of it when I friend of mine said(jokingly) that he could get anyone assassinated for 6BTC on silk road. I asked what it was and he said that it was an online currency that nobody uses. I googled Bitcoin..I have not slept since.

How did you first hear about Bitcoin?
I first heard it was in 2017. Someone I knew talked  about it like it was the most interesting but complicated topic. They are earning so much with it. They share what they know about it to everyone including me. But I thought that it can be profitable that time and it will also end soon because not everyone can adapt it ( not everyone have access to internet, nor have gadgets and information) but I'm wrong because after a few years it is still there and it was known globally. It has great potential and a good investment that was surely profitable.

I heard about bitcoin since 2013, when there was news of someone mining bitcoin because the price went up by more than $ 1000 so he could earn up to $ 1 million per month, at that time I was interested in bitcoin moreover it was still easy to earn via faucets, unfortunately I didn't focus so I left bitcoins.

I was not interested in bitcoin until I knew that my relatives made money and made a high profit from bitcoin, then I started curious to learn information about bitcoin on the net and saw many positives about it, and then gradually I started investing in bitcoin. Currently, I also earn quite a bit from this investment work

In 2011, my brother asked me to borrow money to buy equipment to participate in Bitcoin mining. My brother was only 18 years old at the time. I didn't know anything about Bitcoin, so I checked online and checked what Bitcoin is. The Internet said that Bitcoin is a scam. I believed this statement and rejected my brother's request. This is a decision I still regret.
It wasn't until 2018 that a friend of mine introduced me to Bitcoin, and I didn't really understand it in depth.

Bitcoin appeared very early, but I only learned about it in recent years. I don't understand the concept of Bitcoin, I just saw news about Bitcoin on the Internet. But my lover chose to research in depth and started to invest in some altcoins, with very high returns. I asked her for advice, and under her leadership, I also began to enter the market. When I encounter a problem, she will patiently help me answer the question. I was lucky enough to meet my beloved one.

The first time I came into contact with the encryption field was during the epidemic, I did not go out to work, and stayed at home every day. Friends talked to me about Bitcoin, which aroused my interest. I often went to him every day to learn and understand, so that I no longer I'm lazy. After I gradually learned about it, I also began to enter the market to invest in cryptocurrencies, and I have made considerable gains up to now.

A few years ago, my friend first learned about it. He made money on Bitcoin and recommended it to me so that I can learn and understand. After I fell in love with cryptocurrency, I also recommended it to my friends around me and let them learn. I also have many friends from all over the world in the cryptocurrency market.

I first heard about bitcoin from my friend and the first time he explained to me he immediately said that bitcoin is the currency of the future and at that time I just laughed. But after a few months when bitcoin price started to rise drastically (2017-2018) I started to take more interest in bitcoin and find out more details about blockchain. Right now, i put all of my money into crypto and i believe in the future my investment will be my the best lotere i've ever buy.
