Bitcoin didn't actually effect any of my relationships with anyone , they are different case
I look at bitcoin as more of a fun and techy stuff
i don't cash them , i love trading them and keeping them
And YES! I believe that bitcoin one day will be future currency and that day i will say it has helped my financially too

Bitcoin has Ruined My Life. Relationships with family and friends are very different, perhaps broken. And the financial toll has been devastating.

LOL
"My journey has simply been a learning experience. I remained grounded, and can't say much has changed."
That's a good one. But I hope bitcoin will play it's role in this world.

My journey with Bitcoin has been interesting. I bought my first coin for around the $1000 mark, and bought several in the $500-700 range also. I stored two-thirds of my coins safely and then decided to try my hand at some trading. My timing was off however and my coins were stuck in gox. So in order to try and recoup some of my losses, i decided to have a go at mining and purchased some scrypt asic miners from someone who had a very good reputation in crypto circles (litecoin). Unfortunately this gentleman has now decided to not honour his side of the bargain and has disappeared with the funds. So yes, lessons were learnt but at the end of the day it was money that i could afford to lose.
I just find it unfortunate that the crypto world attracts these types of people and yes you will say there are scammers everywhere in life, however on face value there appears to be a higher percentage in crypto circles. At least if my bank account gets hacked and money stolen i can rest easy that i will be reimbursed. This is a problem that needs to be looked at if Bitcoin has any chance of being successful.

I would agree. Well Virtual Currencies really are the wild west still. It's a lawless town so to speak and a lot of men carry guns. But there are honest people out there, and a lot of good people.
And yes a lot of very very dishonest people. I feel, and I am sure I'm not alone here; that it is sad to say that those who hold the largest sums of Bitcoin tend to be the ones who are the least honest and trustworthy. The exchanges that simply vanish. The Ninja Coins, the Gambling sites that claim to be "fair". These people operate under no rules, laws, or oversight.
But I find a lot of the people on this forum are great. I make deals and trades and sell things. I've sent BTC first and gotten my goods, and I've had people pay me first and I send the goods as promised. As anywhere, you have to be careful.

...I think it will be interesting to see how this poll takes shape as it (hopefully) will receive 100s of votes so a general consensus can be seen.
If you mean this poll to go long-term, maybe it would be a good idea to allow people to change their votes?
February 15, 2015, 06:11:43 AM
Good topic, personally I've had no changes and I have profited by accident but have never sold any of my Bitcoins so I'm not sure that's the correct word to use.
February 15, 2015, 05:50:04 AM
My life since joining bitcoin has remained neutral really. Haven't made any money but haven't lost any either. Maybe that will change in the future, at least I'm hoping so.

Added a response option per your request. If you feel I'm missing anything else feel free to let me know. I tried to cover the "big scenarios" - obviously the outcomes of any individual could be endless.
Strato
Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty hard to cover every possible answer.
I already voted:
"My journey has simply been a learning experience. I remained grounded, and can't say much has changed"
although, if I could, I'd change it to:
"My life is relatively the same, I have made small amounts of profit, and my relationships have remained as they were."
I hear you, i just don't want too many options - it may become confusing to answer. People can of course post in the thread their personal views. I think it will be interesting to see how this poll takes shape as it (hopefully) will receive 100s of votes so a general consensus can be seen.

Good idea for a poll.
But the voting options are not comprehensive.
"My life is relatively the same. My relationships are just as they were, and I have neither profited nor lost money."
What if the first part is correct, but I have profited/lost money?

Pretty neutral, just something I like to spend my time on. (Looking at bitcoin related things)
February 15, 2015, 05:13:42 AM
My life has changed the past year, but not due to Bitcoin, though it made me realise that change can come from action and actions are taken, bitcoin might just help, it changed my life in a sense that I have a new 'hobby' as my wife sees it 
February 15, 2015, 05:02:51 AM
My finance is stronger, my relationships with loved ones, family and friends, are the same.
So, Bitcoin has changed my life for the better, but not on the areas that matter most (health, family, love, friends, fulfillment, spiritual growth).
