For me, i would say that btc and crypto at large has offered a way out of poverty for me. Before the start of crypto, a lot of individuals like myself have often wondered how to run into wealth. Early believers like myself that had a token to invest and buy some fraction to keep are now reaping the benefits. The future is bright and i am forever thankful to Satoshi Nakamoto for this breakthrough.
Could you explain a bit further how "early believer" you were ? Do you speak from the perspective of someone that was an early believer and got into mining really early or did you just heard about it around 2010-2011 and went straight ahead into investing in crypto as an asset?
Being an early bitcoin investor has changed my life. It’s given me opportunities I would never have had without bitcoin. I feel so lucky every day about the position I am in. The great thing is for newbies now is that it isn’t too late. You can buy a little now & hold it for 10-20 years, you can be wealthy.
Could you give examples regarding the "opportunities I would never have had without bitcoin"? You don't need to go very in deep but just explaining what you were about to get / take part into really gives us a notion into how big the impact that BTC had in someone else's life.
Somehow it made me buy things that I want and I'm in a good position unlike a few years back that it's a struggle to save money. Having bitcoin, it's two purpose.
An investment and savings for me.
It's just a short share though.
Go ahead with a bit more depth into the story mate. What did you bought that you saw impossible before BTC ? A boat? A building as an investment for the future? Did you went from living paycheck to paycheck to literally reach FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) ?
It has only helped in pandemic as during the initial days when dint had money bitcoin helped to sell some and get the essentials stuff. Later with the rise in price now the portfolio value has grown up and making the wise decision of investing in bitcoin has greatly helped and many of them are realizing now that they did missed the previous rides. Some goals which can be fulfilled now is due to bitcoin only.
This is actually an incredible story! Still there was one point in time (March 2020 I believe) that BTC hit a low point. Where you affected by it or did you managed to sell before?
Bitcoin show me the way how to have financial freedom , way back only Bank and ATM's is where i put my money aside from personal loaning that i am giving to my office mates.
But now ? i stopped my loan offering instead i Put all of my capital inside Bitcoin and some altcoins , this change my life as i also got involved in Online gambling while i know nothing in similar before learning crypto.
It seems that you went from getting earnings from a traditional banking account and just went all in into BTC. In what way are did you reach "financial freedom"? You basically life with the earnings of BTC, without any kind of work at all (early investor) or you actually do day trading / casino plays in order to increase your wealth and proceed to life from those gains?
On another note, do you guys feel I should put some questions in the first post in order to consolidate the answers from the general community? I feel that each answer goes into his own way, which is good by itself, but focusing all the answers on the same set of questions allows us to focus more regarding a specific scenario and actually expand from that. What do you guys think about it?
