Topic: Remember when Bitcoin was new and..... - page 10. (Read 4647 times)

ofcourse i remember the day i was new in bitcoin world way back 2013 - the year im searching what is bitcoin, and what about bitcoin , what bitcoin can do and then i started to earn in faucet where i solve captcha's to earn bitcoins or satoshi's but i love and i don't know what is it then i search for it and the currency and then im here right now knowing more about bitcoin world

When BTC was new someone offered me 1000 of them to clean his car, that same dude sold me 4 of them a few months ago to play poker with for 500$ each, we had a good laugh about it.

Ill meet you right here dude! we will share all the memories from now and laugh and laugh.... and cry

Unfortunately i discovered bitcoin just in 2016 and i dont really have memories with it. Maybe after 5 years we will open a new topic here on the forum and share our memories from now 

wow. you gotta be the winner of this thread so far. I dunno how i'd feel if i'd had a taste of it in 2009 and not gotten further into it there and then. I would probably feel extremely sad but also a little smug too.

I have clearly Remember how I got my first bitcoin it was 2009.I was join in a skype group and group owner give me 5 btc.group owner have a forum posting job we just make account different forum and post his CPA offer he paid us 5 BTC per forum post.I sold 1 BTC=24 cents.God damn who know price will be reach to Moon.LOL

I remember when I first got to know about Bitcoin, I had installed a client called Multibit and began using faucets, back then this was a very new thing and very few faucets existed. They did pay a bit more than they actually do now. Before this, I still did keep hearing about Bitcoins, but I barely bothered to invest in it.

At that time it was the best investment you can make for your money. But today it is also one of the best investments, not just for your money, but more specific to use it.
The future of bitcoin is tremendous and i would be surprised if adoption will not come soon.

As someone who had money in BTC back then, I can tell you its not that simple. As an original profiteer of BTC, I pulled out 20 grand off like 760$ or something like that a small amount I don't even remember. It was an a amazing win for me but I could have turned it into way more if I hung on longer. Its just when BTC was new no one really knew what was going to happen.

the first big climb went all the way up to roughly 250 USD pr coin, followed by a crash that brought it all the way back down to 50 USD per coin. I was lucky and sold at 250 USD but when it crashed every magazine and trusted economic scholar said it was over and it would disappear, so I challenge any of you to have actually been through that and had the faith not to sell at that point.

it also sat like that in the 50$ shitter for an entire year and I know many people that cashed in, and they'd say Jo your so lucky you sold at 250$ any way 1 year later it went up to 1200$ per coin (roughly) and If you hung on until then, you deserved the huge payout you got.

point is, its not as simple as being early, its how early and when you got out. Even 20 k was an amazing life changing gain. But I will forever know it could have been way more and trust me people who had 10 000 btc that were worth pennies and sold them at a dollar feel the say way

yeah but most people back then did not expect the price to go up that much so fast, if i had had a chance to put money into bitcoin back then i would have definitely did that

We missed this opportunity when the Bitcoin was new with very low price, i think it was very profitable time for the holders to buy as much as they can of bitcoins

Said a JR member , pushing his own new coin

Those of us who missed out on bitcoin have another great opportunity knocking at doors.Buy antshares during ico and you could be next millionaire by being the early adopter

i remember the first time i heard about bitcoin i didn't even care enough to research further about it and learn more about bitcoin, and in my defense i have to say the person who told me about bitcoin had no idea about what it really is and said some bizarre stuff about mining and solving mathematical equations which was boring to even listen to

Yep, mining is changing. The difficulty of mining at least is changing after years, it's called the halving if you aren't familiar of it.

And no, it's not possible to mine 90% of the coins by inventing "something". By owning 90% of the mining stuffs in the whole world, then you can mine 90% of the coins. But a single thing cannot mine 90% of the coins, at the present moment at least. Humans never managed to make a rig so powerful that it can mine that big portion of coins.

that is just too bad. You learned it early but you ignored it. You might have been a millionaire now if you started with bitcoin just a few cents in price.

I remeber when a friend came to me saying that there is such a thing which is called Bitcoin, it's kind of an "internet money" and that the price of one coin is around $5. I asked why would I need this thing? And he said "I don't know, to buy something on the internet". At the time I didn't have enough money to buy normal stuff in normal stores so I thought that would be mega stupid to buy those useless "internet money" for $5 each. )

I just remember when bitcoin as a payment to those paid to view ads. If i know it that bitcoin would grow bigtime then maybe im rich now  on just farming on that ads site itslef i guess but sadly i missed that opportunity since no one expected for the bitcoins price to go up as of now.

Oh man those faucets were dope! I used to have them going all day. I wish I could actually calculate how much money those translated for me. I used to joke and tell people I was mining when I was using them. LOL!

Last time I remember about bitcoin was when it was priced around $230 then the next thing I knew it raised to about $350. I still regret the fact that I did not buy it when the price was around $230. I could have gained a lot of profit from then.

It must be a blunder mistake unlike early adopters. Early adopters never got chances to know the real potential of bitcoin, but missing out to buy cheaper even after bitcoin has tested $1000+ price levels must be life time big mistake.
