Topic: How long were you interested in Bitcoin before joining the forum? (Read 484 times)

I'm not sure about others but my story is a little bit different. I learnt about Bitcoin from this forum, I made a good search about selling digital goods and found this forum where someone was selling a digital good and I thought I might do the same to earn some money. But, after reading posts on this forum I learnt so much about the forum and about the Bitcoin. So In simple words I learnt first about this forum and then about Bitcoin.

It's the opposite in my case. I got interested into Bitcoin when I joined the forum.

Of course, this forum alone isn't the only one that got me the interest into Bitcoin. There are some things as well that sparked my interest about it. I mean if you saw a completely new technology that could possibly give you profits, can help you make transactions without any third-party involved, can make you anonymous (kind of), and everything, you really will be interested in knowing more about it. As for your case, it's good that you've been doing it for the last 2 years. I'm pretty sure that your in profit already.

Always know when to sell your Bitcoins and don't fall in love with it. You'll regret it like what I did during the last bull run. Just a friendly reminder.

I knew about bitcoin before joining the forum, but i only became interested in bitcoin after joining the forum. Before joining the forum, i thought bitcoin was a get rich quick scheme, that is what the people who introduced me to bitcoin told me, but this forum completely changed that erroneous idea.

The crazy thing is that there are still quite a lot of people who still believe that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme that they can get in, and get out rich; too bad that they'll be disappointed.

Well I most say it's been 2 years since I heard about bitcoin but I never give a listening ear whenever I see people talking about bitcoin, reason is because I don't even know how it looks like. but they still keep talking about it More often so I decided to make intensive research  to know how bitcoin looks like and also how it works, from there  I started learning about bitcoin to the  extent that I find it very interested but I was not curious to invest reason is because I'm still yet to know more about bitcoin, So after then I got introduced to this platform.

Well, it's actually true that everyone have a story to tell when it comes to how their  journey began, and I am no exception to that, though before I came into this forum last year november, I am already aware of Bitcoin and how to buy and sell, because I have been a trader since from the year 2020, so when I came into the forum last year, the only knowledge I lack on Bitcoin was measure that should be put in place, so as to hold strong even in the rainy days, something like having a source of income and an emergency fund to sustain you during financial difficulties, so that you wouldn't temper with your holdings.

Aside that, I have a little bit of Bitcoin worth up to 40 dollar in my bybit account, though I sometimes sell for minimal gains, but me coming here and the knowledge I have gotten here since I came here has really improved my decision making and enlightened me the more, especially on Bitcoin and security, and why it wrong to be storing my asset in an exchange as an investors.

so in essence of what am trying to say is that, though I wasn't a total newbie in the field, due to the fact that  I have been into the crypto and forex industries Long before coming into this forum, but the forum have really shaped me on Bitcoin especially and how to navigate my way around it, but the knowledge generally is what makes this place really good.

Never ever Believed that such a forum existed until I joined through bounty. I have heard about bitcoins since 2019 and have been doing research on that, joined many Facebook groups which where much more misleading as they are full of scams. The journey is never so easy since I didn't know about the forum and I have to learn by researching the web and trying to understand how it works through exchanges.  Well thanks to goodness, now I can beat my left chest that I understand bitcoins to some extent. After knowing this forum existed, don't visit any other board than bounty, until I took a bold step to check what is over , behold , it's a new world of her own, a community of intelligent investors rubbing minds together.

I was not interested for long before joining the forum.  From the day I heard about bitcoin and heard about bitcoin forum within few days I moved to bitcoin forum and started learning about bitcoin.  You may have known about Bitcoin for two years and heard about Bitcoin because of which you have experience but I came to Bitcoin knowing about Bitcoin for a short time.

My interest in Bitcoin all started when I joined this wonderful forum. It was through this forum that my exposure to the knowledge of Bitcoin developed to the extent that I began to think and consider having Bitcoin as a store of value and as another means of payment since I am looking for an investment that will give me good Profits in long term.

I hope you are able to learn about Bitcoin and how it works before you started your slow buying from the Robinhood platform you said you buy from, and I hope the platform is reputable because I am just hearing about it for the first time.
Are you saving the purchased Bitcoin in your personal wallet you have its private key in your possession? if no, then do well to move your Bitcoin out of any centralized exchange or platform to an open-source Bitcoin wallet like Electrum or bluewallet for security, and make sure you keep your seed phrase safe.

I was not opportune to know Bitcoin in its early stage, but I am happy to know it last four years back, and I am happy to be independent and I know how to go about my financial freedom through the help of the forum and Bitcoin because with Bitcoin, there is financial freedom  because no one can be able to track your wealth especially if you save them in your personal wallet not in exchanges that will demand for some information from you in the name of KYC.

May be 2 years. Afaik I came across Bitcoin around 2013 then joined this forum in 2015, wasn't active at all with that account, joined again with current account in 2017 and I'm still here.

I barely remember how long. I was not yet in the forum when I was into Bitcoin but nothing serious.

Well, when I first heard about it from someone it wasn't like that. You know what's fascinating about it? it's about the dark web money, etc. It is for sure that many would recall that moment when Bitcoin was like some genius to own and yet so dangerous to have it because of that impression from the weebs and nerds. 

I didn't have accurate knowledge about how Bitcoin works before joining this forum, everything that I heard about it sounded like it was a Ponzi scheme and a means of money laundering. It was after I joined this forum that I began to learn and increase my knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. This forum is undeniably the best place to learn and discuss about Bitcoin and the crypto space, it's terminologies and technicalities. I remain grateful to all the experienced members that nurtured me when I was a newbie here. I'm happy that I can make meaningful crypto contributions in and outside the forum because of the knowledge that I've gained here..

I knew nothing about the existence of this forum when I first came to know about Bitcoin. It was the time when there were faucets that most people used to claim small amounts of satoshis every hour or day. I remember the price of Bitcoin was around $500 or something when I first came to know about it and I was excited immediately after knowing its price. I was also confused as to how a currency can be that expensive, I thought it was too expensive, lol.

I found out about this forum later from a cousin who used to be a member of this forum. He told me if I wanted to learn more about Bitcoin, I needed to join this forum for sure because I wouldn't have a better platform for that.

Years have passed, I still can't forget those times and I always wish that I had money at that time to buy some Bitcoin and I could have a lot of money today if I had bought back then and held on to them.

That's funny, I've mostly seen the complete opposite: People avoiding Bitcoin because they think it's just some kind of get rich quick scheme, and investing only after they've done a little bit of research and learned that this is not the case. Though I guess that was still way back when people were warier of cryptocurrencies and didn't have finfluencers rotting their brains.

I disagree. Most or all people before making an investment, have to do their research. Differences between them are only their researches are due diligent or only a quick research, before they decide to join and spend money.

Due diligent research is important to have knowledge and understand about Bitcoin and this market, but it is not decisive for your investment ending will be profit. People who did due diligent research can still get loss in investment, because they lack of successful investor characteristics.

They can improve themselves through learning and practice, but not all of investors can succeed in a same market, it's life. In a same market which has a zero-sum game, if you get profit, someone else lose money; and if you lose money, it goes to someone else who get profit.

Well, most people always try to engage or invest in bitcoin before making research about it, this is because alot of people who are ignorant about bitcoin think is some kind of making money quick scheme, so instead of trying to get knowledge about it first they just invest. Just in your case, you said you invested in bitcoin before joining this forum.

For me I was in this forum for months before I tried investing in bitcoin. I feel when you have a versatile knowledge about something it think even when you put your money on it there is this level of confidence you have because you are sure of what you are doing. I still can't thank my friend enough for introducing Me to this forum, he was trying to convince me to invest in bitcoin but this forum made it easier.

I didn't consider bitcoin a scam at first, but I just doubted its future.
I've seen so many people lose money investing in new things, so I doubted bitcoin before I learned about it. Coming to the forum for economic reasons is the average hidden reason for users, but basically they expect money from this forum. I don't think it's wrong, but in the end these users have to balance their knowledge and their desire to make money.

I heard about Bitcoin a long time ago but never considered it worth learning about for some reason. Some criminals were using Bitcoin as a means to defraud people. They will develop a shitcoin and deceive people to invest in it as Bitcoin. Many people have lost money, so I avoided Bitcoin because I didn't want to get scammed. And I never made any attempt to study the coin because of my wrong perception. I sceptically joined the forum because I thought it was another scam.

To answer your questions, I had little but wrong knowledge about Bitcoin before I joined this forum. It was on this forum that my original Bitcoin education started. And it has been a worthwhile adventure, you are welcome.

I have developed a strong passion and desire for bitcoin for a very long time before coming to this forum. Infact everything worked like it was planned. Though  my quest for bitcoin led me to first invest in some shitcoins, of which I will never ever forget in my life. But to me it was a stepping stone in to the real bitcoin World. So coming here has opened and exposed my brain to main thing I was looking for. Sincerely speaking BTT is the best place to learn about bitcoin. Apart that, there are many other important things to learn her like financial management, information about politics, learning how to reduce the risk of addiction and many other useful information you need. In summary BTT is one of the best place to be.

That is great you have such a positive attitude, and are sharing it with others.
