So I'm back. You might not recognize this account , but that is because i made only a few posts around 2011. I was there at basically the beginning. I could be rich right now.. That's an odd thought! I was there, but i didn't put the time or effort in. Now im back, Bitcoin is higher than i ever thought it'd be, and i'm trading on exchanges. Live and learn. I feel dumb for not staying in, but smart for getting back in. What were you doing Bitcoin wise in 2011? Did you even know about Bitcoin?
If look back in 2011, honestly I do not know about bitcoin maybe I will do the same thing as you. i my opinion not many people think bitcoin can grow as much as it is today maybe there are only some people who believe or have great luck because they can buy bitcoin at cheap price.

I only know about it earlier this year and the price is one of the reason that makes me interested. Back in 2011 the price is low so if i had known back than, probably i'll the same as you.
Yeah i feel that way all the time. I feel smart because I know about bitcoin and and all the theory about how to earn it and multiply but i feel dumb because I'm not using this knowledge or i can't seem to find a practical way to become rich.

In the year 2011, I don't have any idea about bitcoin. I am not aware on the internet before. Just using my social media account then post then chat, comments and personal message. I'm contented with that, I thought that it is enough for me but the year goes by, I am being curious. I want to earn money via online job I don't know where, how and when do I start. But I would say now that I have enough knowledge about internet and especially what's inside of bitcoin. We can learn from on our own way. We can learn from our experiences so treasure and valued it.

Tell us a bit more. Why did you leave? Did you own a few coins back then and if you did, what happened with it? It is the stories and the people that are interesting about this technology. You also learn from the mistakes of others, when you go through this journey. I had something similar happen with me, because I was told about bitcoin, back in 2010 and I simply wrote it off as a fad.
Well, i tried mining some with my cpu, never got one, and kinda gave up. That and trying to make a buck to survive other ways gets in the way of fun and games. At that point there was really no point in buying any, as weird as that idea seemed. But yeah, i remember the very first time i heard of bitcoin, which was probably towards the end of 2010, i thought it was the dumbest idea ever, and that it would never go anywhere. shows you what i know lol.

Not sure if it would have made a difference unless you had the willpower to hold.
that's a good point, im sure i'd have sold before it ever hit 1000$ the first time. there were some tough times financially for me there for a couple years.Quote

You made your account since 2011 and decided to go back,I appreciate your will though. You never loses until you fight for your hope and beliefs.
Who would know what will happen back then even the greatest trader doesn't know this will be gonna happen(My opinion). Atleast you decided to go back and started all over again compare to not doing at all the work and keep watching the biggest regret of your life to eat you until your last day with the earth.
Cheers for your comeback, if you got dumbed before don't be dumber and even dumbest, peace out.

Jeez welcome to the club, I read about Bitcoin in 2010 and then forgot about it. My job was consuming too much of my attention.
If I had only spent more attention on Bitcoin back then instead of working...in fact I could been skipping school, not getting any education or professional training, not doing any work all my life, that one article I read in 2010 could still have made me more money than everything else I ever did.....
same here but my problem was school and my dissertation! it took too much of my time and meanwhile everyone else was mining bitcoin with their PC and making a lot of money during the $1000+ rise of 2013
i have no regrets though because i do believe it is not yet late to get involved in bitcoin, and i joined a year+ ago anyways.
I was there at basically the beginning. I could be rich right now..

What I was doing bitcoin wise back then? Nothing, I did not heard of bitcoin until 2015 and did not take any action until a year later, while it is no longer possible to get bitcoin for nothing as you could do back in the day, the truth is there is still lots of opportunities to make some money with bitcoin, now there are ICOs where you can invest your money and obtain great profits in a matter of months. 
It is good to see older account going back in this forum. It is a good thing to know about your initial thought of Bitcoin way back 2011. I was unaware of bitcoin during that time and happen to know it in early 2014, so that is 3 years after you knew about bitcoin. I was into network marketing industry during those time so not much to tell about my bitcoin experience since I have zero knowledge of bitcoin way back that year.

Never heard bitcoin before but i think its still not late to buy bitcoin because there is still chance that bitcoin can be increase until $10k value base on other analysis speculation so what happen before it can be still happen today or in the future..
So don;t waste time if you see the large dump these few days you can buy bitcoin today for a better price and hold them for a long time this is the smart way for now and gain profit if you see price increase above $3,000 sell it and buy again if the price was dump.. just to get the profit and reinvest again in bitcoin..

No, i embraced bitcoin for the first time in 2013, i didn't heard about bitcoin at that time, in 2011 the price was really cheap between 1$-17$ across the year, it such a big opportunity for you to being rich but sadly you didn't buy much, it's ok you still have a chance.Anyway welcome back, you don't make any mistakes by joining the comnunity again, well i'm just wondering what's your thought about bitcoin, then and now?

Well actually i know bitcoins before i just ignore it because its no so interesting before and we are just the same if i know that bitcoin can be increase the same price today i think i bought a lots of bitcoin before and save for a long time and already have any business related in bitcoin.. I just get back here 2015 and found this forum and it helps a lot and learn a lot about bitcoin.
I'm not dump i just losing the opportunity and everyone don't know what actually will happen with bitcoin..
The people who holdings a lot of bitcoin during late years of even before 2013 they already make a lots of profit because they are holding a large amount of bitcoin.. if you remember about some receive a rewards just to order a pizza he already rich by now..
I learned about bitkoin at the beginning of his journey, but was afraid to get involved in this. It was something new and incomprehensible. That's the ideal chance and it was fuck by me.
Back in 2011 i knew that something exist like cryptocurrency and people use it for invisible transactions to buy weapons and weed, lots of weeeedd. But yeah that didn`t bodored me a lot, now im more confidient that i jumped on a right boat.
I have known about it since early 2013, and like you didn't get in on it. Would have been nice to buy them at $15 instead of $2500. Oh well, live & learn. 
I knew about bitcoin in the first half of 2015 but that was only earning through faucet and after some months spending on research i found this forum and here i am earning free bitcoin through it more then what i was earning in faucet.
My story is somewhat similar. I was introduced to bitcoin by some of my friends in 2015. I started doing research and joining a few sites helping me earn free bitcoins some of which are still there. I used to use faucets too. I googled bitcoin and came across bitcointalk in the search results quite often but I was dumb not to have joined it immediately the moment I saw it because I could have earned here more than I did with faucets but I'm happy that I'm here now
I did not know about Bitcoin back in 2011, but be sure that if I would I would be so rich that I could have enough to live at a fast pace until the end of my days...
