1.When and why did you become interested in cryptocurrencies?
I came to know about crpytocurrency 2020 but I never add the knowledge of it so I thought that it is a ponzi scheme that will come and go like shitcoins because I had a friend who bought some shitcoins and got scammed,I didn't know that there is an outstanding one like bitcoin not after I was taught by a friend. I became interested in crpytocurrency because I love the concept that it is a digital currency and is very easy to keep them without anyone knowing around you that you have such assets.
2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
I bought my first bitcoin from a friend but I got scammed by allowing him to create a wallet for me and he used my seed phrase to steal my bitcoin. Although,it was $85 worth of btc. I didn't ever believed that he could do such thing. It was January 19th when I became a member of this forum that after reading people contributions,that I realized that my bitcoin disappeared from my wallet was his doings. At February this year I bought a reasonable amount of bitcoin and I am happy with the price of bitcoin presently. Then way back I bought my first bitcoin to make profit from it but in February I bought bitcoin to hold for long term. Also to use it as a store of value since our local fiat currency is depreciating. If I convert my fiat to bitcoin I believe that the value might increase after some years.
3. How did you get on the forum?
I got here through a friend I met just once at the cinema. He told me that I can have a better understanding of bitcoin and its blockchain network if I become a member of this forum,which is true.
4.1. How do you consider whether 2-3 years of experience in cryptocurrency is enough to successfully invest or does an investor need to receive special education?
An investor can have the experience on crpytocurrency investment within some few months and some within the duration of years that you mentioned. It all depends on the investor commitment and seriousness on learning. We have slow learners and fast learners,but for a lame man I think 6 months is enough for him to learn whatever it takes to successfully invest in crypto. I don't think that a special education is needed for anyone to understand how to successfully invest in crpytocurrency.
4.2. What prevents mass adoption of cryptocurrencies?
Actually some people lack to understand the best crpytocurrency to invest in and they end up falling for some valueless shitcoins which make them feel that crpytocurrency is a scam project.
-FUD from influencers on social media is something that can make people run away from crpytocurrency.
-Government can also play a major role,if they ban crpytocurrency in most countries,we have seen such suitaution in China before the ban was uplifted recently.
