Bitcoin has changed everything about my financial life. It's made me locate other streams of income, it has shown me how to send remittances globally at competitively low rates. It's granted me 24/7 accessibility to my funds in my wallet and has ensured my anonymity when I gamble online so basically I'm free to do a lot since my introduction to Bitcoin.

Need some spare btc for a new PC
Well at first was, as with probably some more people here, the thought of getting some quick big money and yes those were the faucets back then lol but as the time passed, I've became interested in cryptography, programming and trading. So now that's my main hobby, and also provides me some money on the side to cover some bills. :p

So overall, from quick money to an interesting hobby.

My first experience with Bitcoin was not so good. Most businesses I got interested in happened to be scams and the price of Bitcoin was going down fast. I had some money invested but all my early ones seemed to turn into losses. I decided to hold and not care about the price, hoping that it will slowly recover and it did. Now I'm happy that I got into Bitcoin and I hope it continues to grow.

Well 4 years ago I was not the kind of dude who will save money and keep it for long since I am fascinated with other stuff and what's important for me is that how would I impress other people with what I make. Ever since I got my hands on bitcoin I started to feel like I need to save in order to get more. 3 years after here I am now, being so thrifty that I only find satisfaction in getting money and it breaks my heart to spend money every time.

Before coming into the bitcoin world i was very much active with the stock market and in the beginning it was really hard for me to understand the market situation and how they evaluate things but then i started to stick with the basics because in this world with every FUD there is a movement in the market so you have to be clear about it rather FUDs wont move the market in the real world.

When I heard about bitcoin I was very skeptic.
I didn't trust it much and almost forgot about bitcoin.
When I heard again about bitcoin, and heard stories how many people earning good money with bitcoin, I became curious and started research.
Very soon I realized that bitcoin is not just some kind of virtual money, or new payment way, but more like way of life.
First time ordinary people own money and their financial future.
We have great opportunity to change our lives and get rid from greedy banks, governments, tax offices etc.
I really looking forward to day when I will have enough bitcoin to start new life, free from everyday stress at work and in society.

When I first heard about it I saw it as a way to make a quick buck. I didn't know why people were buying it, but the volatility was so tempting.
I started reading about it and got really interested with the technology and the way it operated outside the banking system. The more I read the more I liked the idea and here I am, no longer trading my coins, just holding and hoping for it to become much more popular.

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe
When i started this bitcoin journey i never believed in the economic structure as well i was busy with my business end and i started concentrating after 2014 when i heard that the valuation had reached an all time high and during that period i was learning about all the aspects and then i saw the price going down just like that and end up at $240 or around that price and even then i was not sure that the price would reach $1k level once again but i started purchasing small amounts and the last few months were the golden time of bitcoin where it tripled my valuation and sold off everything when it hit $900 during holiday season thinking to buy again and i had to wait till now to buy back again and still i am not sure whether it is a good buy ,either way i am in profit.

It has actually changed a lot i remember in 2014 or something i saw a video on youtube on how to mine bitcoins i knew it maybe useless but you simply to try. That person explained everything on how to mine calculate electricity fees , he was also giving away i think 0.1 btc and that time the value of it was 30$ i guess. And then years passed on and bitcoin touched 1000$ i never really knew bitcoin could do something like this bad then. That was a really big mistake i made but i don't regret because i didn't expect anything like this would happen in future.

At first I saw those zeros as something quite easy to fill up to 1 Btc, so I got working at it- microjobs, faucets,gambling,etc only to discover that 100 million satoshi is not all said and done and no thanks to all manners of scam programs and wallets. The cloud is a bit settled now except that the looming civil war between miners and exchanges is one thing that threatens every milestone Bitcoin have covered over its eight years of existence.

what was your attitude when you first got into bitcoin? was it to get rich quick? make some dollars? learn the tech?

and how has it changed the more you've learnt?

My first attitude when i learn about bitcoin is i can get rich quickly from it. Because you can earn while at home and just by depositing to some hyips or ponzis. And just by playing on those gambling sites with some amounts.

But i was wrong, i got scammed many times by those hyips and ponzis and lose too much money from gambling. So i've realize that what my parents are saying is correct. It is really not easy to earn money and we should spend it wisely. Bitcoin taught me that lesson so now i just spend my bitcoin when it is really needed.

in the first place I wasn't really interested in bitcoin, I even didn't trust my friend to tell me that I can earn momey trough bitcoin. then I when I need money, I tried to join a siGnature campaign. then I earn bitcoin to be converted to fiat. time by time, I still think that way.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
I started using it because I wanted to buy oxy on Silk Road. I started mining to collect some coin for a purchase but before I could buy online I found a nice family doctor with a willing prescription pad so I didn't need Silk Road. The price started climbing so I got heavily into mining and hoarding coin. I believed all the hype about bitcoin for a long time until I started watching every respected member of this forum slowly turn into scammers and crooks. Now I just want to guess the top of bubbles and make as much money as I can. I thought we were due for a downswing so I sold 230 btc as soon as it went over $1,200. If we go below $800 I'll buy them back, rinse, repeat.

The first time I interested in bitcoin is because it offer a great side income for me, but after I knew bitcoin for a long time now I see bitcoin as a currency and investment, I see so many potential in crypto currencies i believe in the future crypto will be a very useful currency
Same as the above statement I too got into bitcoin considering it an additional earning. Soon after that in a short it gave the knowledge and got interested to know more. Now I give importance as a earning, investment and mainly for gambling need.

The first time I have heard about Bitcoin I thought it was a online currency for criminals to use to make transactions online. The more I read about it, I believed that it could be a game changer in the world of finance. As I went into it deeper and deeper, I am into the thinking of it being a censorship resistant, decentralized, value transfer system that is perfect for the dark market participants. I believe they are also classified as criminals.

In my experience in these field, it's not only my attidute to it have changed. Desicions, belief, and the way I see things in online working changed a lot. Bitcoin will always be Bitcoin. It's prices may go up and down, it may grow or it maybe just be nothing. My attidute toward it is always be the same, what makes a difference now is the way I view things. I learned a lot in these field. Earning, trading, investing, gambling and subtle things like trust, faith, knowledge. Through time in my opinion I think my attidute in Bitcoin has not change but Bitcoin changes me. Even if I stay longer into this thing as long as it helps me and benefit from it I will treat BTC as I treat it years ago.
