Topic: retrospective of your thoughts - page 2. (Read 316 times)
It was way back 2013 when I was fresh college graduate, my younger brother is mad crazy about cryptocurrency. He says it is a free currency you can get online by faucet and etc. And I was buffled on how will the internet give you money by staying online and that it might be a scam. So, I tried reading further more and understood that it could be something that we might be using in the future. However, I stopped in crypto since I only had a small capital to use and the only thing I know how to earn it was so little by that time, that is through a risky investment doubler or by gambling. I cane back maybe 2 years after and started to learn about trading, bounty hunting, and etc. It was fun and I am happy I learned crypto maybe not too early, but still I was able to get advantage of the recent bull-run.
Found Bitcoin like approximately 5 years ago because I was looking for a way to selling my MMORPG game currencies for money, but I don't have PayPal or a bank account. Then I found the bitcoin suggestion on some kinda shady website on the second page of the Google search results. No IDs and documents required? I was immediately sold(as if I had any other choice anyway). Without even knowing the decentralization, privacy, and deflationary aspects of bitcoin.
Would be nice to start a conversation of your first thoughts about bitcoin. When did you read about it the first time? Did a friend tell you about it or what happened? What was your first thoughts and what is the change in your mind of this topic today?
The year was 2016 for me when I first got aware of Bitcoin but not before buying my first coin with TheBillionCoin (TBC) which we later found was not actually a real cryptocurrency and just another big scam. I bought my first Bitcoin from a good exchange operating here in my country because I was also involved with some revenue-sharing programs (many of them eventually folded up or became scams except just 1) and we need to use Bitcoin. In 2016, upon giving the Bitcoin a handshake, the price was hovering over $500 (yes, you read it right). From there on, I started getting to know more details on Bitcoin, its beauty, benefits and advantages. I would say that the journey has been an electrifying, a little bit horrifying roller-coaster ride and I think it will be intensified for the next five years, at least.

The first time i was confronted with bitcoin, a friend told me about it. He told me it is a new currency, but he did not understand how it works or how to get it. So we started to watch a youtube video to understood this new thing. No one of us understood the technical part, but it sounds really interesting. After some days we talked again about it and both of us was infected with Bitcoin.
I think there is no change about this topic for me because there are to many new things to read or talk about. maybe it is more worse than the first days, but i like to inform me and read news about this topic. i do not know if this is for ever, but today i love bitcoin and hope there will be a day we all could pay with it at a supermarket daily.
