Topic: How long were you interested in Bitcoin before joining the forum? - page 3. (Read 484 times)

Forum as a Trading discussion board where we are discussing with this topic. There are topics about Trading, posts about trading resources, and there are people who can help you about it. But basically the forum is more about Bitcoin discussions from fundamentals to technical. Trading discussion is only small part of it and
trading is not advised because it is more risky. By trading, you will more likely get loss, than get profit with investment.

You can learn about trading, free with many resources.

With most of paid groups, paid courses, you need to be more careful. First you have to pay fees, and lastly maybe these tutors themselves can not get profit with trading, means they are bad traders.

When I started trading, I knew nothing about the forum then, and I had no one to guide me, so I learned about trading myself. When I was doing research about trading, I came across the forum, and I started following it gradually. Most of the information that I got about trading was from this forum, things that people wanted me to pay first before they were going to teach me, I got to learn about them here for free. That’s just why the forum is just so interesting, you don’t have to pay anything to gain knowledge here, all you should do is take your time and read, and if there is anything you don’t understand, just ask questions, and you'll get your answer.

Firstly Op hope you understand how to store your coins properly? I believe you should be away and you currently aren't storing those coins on any exchange wheather Centralised or Decentralised. If not I suggest you move your coins to a noncustodial wallet that is also preferably open source for me I'll suggest ELECTRUM, and also make sure you have an offline backup (something like a paper wallet) for your seed and keys.

That being said well I pretty much knew a couple of basic things relating to bitcoin before I joined the forum. However first thing I actually got to improve the most on this forum was my knowledge on security and privacy. And that in fact should be the priority knowledge newbies should be after. It's not all about HODLING some bitcoins but also securing your hodlings. there wouldn't be hodling if you should lose them as a result of poor security.

At least 6-7 months, i didn't learn bitcoin from Bitcointalk, it was from a facebook group. And i learned about this forum from that facebook group as well, from then on i get more knowledge here, then become mia and comes back. I remember faucets from that year give at least 0.005-0.01 BTC waiting from 30 mins to 1 hr, well, IIRC bitcoin price were just below $500 that time.

Before joining the forum I was a crypto enthusiast when I used to  binary options trading. But I often searched the prices of different coins on Google. While searching on Google, one of the coins I saw with the highest price was Bitcoin. Since then I have asked a few friends what is Bitcoin? And why is the price of this coin so high when there are other coins. Basically since then I got interested in Bitcoin even after a few months I joined this forum.

After joining here I gained a fair amount of knowledge about Bitcoin even invested there with success which was a blessing for me. Without joining this forum I probably wouldn't have had such a deep experience with Bitcoin even investing. We still have a lot to learn from this extensive Bitcoin forum.

Wow, this question made me remember my past memories. I could still remember when I first knew about bitcoin, then in my school time, when I always had to go and do a lot of research on some browsers and also on YouTube. That is how I was able to gain a bit of knowledge on bitcoin, which I later started investing in, although I literally knew nothing about the importance of long-term investment. I was just forced to buy bitcoin with the small amount I have. When I see a small profit, then I will just sell all the bitcoin, and then I will wait if the bitcoin dumps again, then I will buy again. 
 
But when I was introduced to bitcoin talk, the story changed. That is, when I knew the advantage of a long-term investment, although I always regretted not knowing about bitcoin talk. Since I knew about bitcoin, that is why they said ignorance affects more than disease. Although everything has come to pass and it has already become a memory, and now I have known many things about bitcoin, which is because of this forum.

I can see you are still a newbie. I don’t know if you have some knowledge about bitcoin already, but I will assure you that you will enjoy your stay in this forum if you are really ready to learn, and you will definitely see the advantages of the knowledge that you will get in the forum.
 

I was interested in crypto before joining the forum. Attending crypto seminars and meeting people who are “experts” in the crypto space. Luckily for me, at the time my portfolio was very small and I only had a few altcoins. If I had not found the forum, my crypto experience would have been very different from what it is today. I probably would have lost my investments to shitcoins. The knowledge I’ve gained from this forum has helped me understand how Bitcoin really works.

First, before I discovered Bitcoin, if I'm not mistaken, it was because of cloudbet.com that I found out about Bitcoin. I was looking for a place to bet on the NBA back in 2014. At that time, I could only place bets using bitcoin on Cloudbet because there weren't many altcoins or fiat yet and they weren't well known. Later on, I searched for ways to earn Bitcoin. That's when I found Bitcointalk, especially the signature campaigns on Bitcointalk where I could earn. So, I registered here on bitcointalk in 2016 and you can check my account.

This platform may have probably brought you to the interest/awareness of Bitcoin at the course of learning before accepting it while some other enthusiasts had already developed the interest of Bitcoin but were basically here to learn about it before actualize their goal.
Some too have been here to stay updated and sharing knowledges on conversing with fellow enthusiasts.

They are both interesting in anyways and much credit to the foundation of this platform offering each and everyone free license to link up and catching up our dreams with Bitcoin while the forum remains fair to users.

I've already acquired some Bitcoin, Doge coin and ETH before knowing that this forum exists, I was mining Bitcoin via Nicehash mining before I knew that Bitcointalk exists, I know about Bitcoin through an MLM scheme, I got scammed though, and it was later that I found out that Bitcoin has nothing to do with the scam.

I made a lot of mistakes because I wasn't present on this forum sooner enough, I would have learnt a lot if this forum was my starting point, instead I made every possible mistakes to learn, I lost my Bitcoin, Doge and others, through cloud mining at first then some stupid investment choices.

Today I am better and stronger than I used to be, I've learned a lot from my mistakes and that's why I hardly make any mistakes this day, I believe if we are open to never stop learning then we will make less mistakes.

Some got here before they make investment in bitcoin, some already have been into bitcoin for long before making the discover of this platform, while the last category were those who coincidentally came across this forum online and from there got the opportunity of knowing about bitcoin for the first time, this can happened either by a friend's referral or by any other means after which we are making research upon online and landed here, all i could for now remember about my own joining was that, am not one of the early adopters.

For me I become interested with bitcoin when after I joined the forum. Before I just seeing it as an advertisements on some sites like getting some faucet by watching ads, and Im skeptical whether its scam or not since I dont really have any idea with it before but later I learned how good it is when I browsed and scanned it already here.

Perhaps I love the fact that you already bought or invested in bitcoin but it's not advisable to keep you coin in a third party platform such as the on you mentioned above. it literally shows you don't have direct control over your funds or asset. A self custodial wallet is must advisable such as Electrum for bitcoin and blue wallet or other open source wallet for other cryptocurrencies.

Everyone has different reason why they came into this forum, I got here through a friend and I guess lots of us did same way while others came across it while researching their ways into bitcoin.

Hi all, I have been reading about Bitcoin for over two years, and slowing buying small amounts using the Robinhood platform. How long were you interested in Bitcoin before joining the forum?
