I have known bitcoin since 2016, what I regretted was that at that time my friends recommended buying some altcoin, when they were still cheap and affordable, unfortunately I didn't buy that and the price increased at the end of 2017, but I took it's as an important lesson not to waste the best moments like that anymore
so  now you are buying altcoin already?specially early this year when the lowest market capitalization recorded after 2 years?

yes, I only have a few altcoins that have a high trading volume I have already bought them like ETH and EOS, I will wait for the moment when the bear market is really over, because I don't want to enter the market without knowledge so I need to consult my friends to get altcoin others are cheaper

many altcoins that experienced an increase higher in the last year but now decrease by 90%, including ETH and EOS. so it's still good to buy it now, just waiting for bitcoin going up because usually, some altcoins like eth will follow the movements of bitcoin. about the experience in bitcoin, I know in 2013, when the price of bitcoin was hype because it reached above $1000. since then I was interested and I get a lot of bitcoin from the bounty when the heyday of the bounty in 2014-2017.
thanks for the advice, but I need to wait for the right time, as we know the price of bitcoin is now back below $ 9000 and it makes me feel uncomfortable, but I will always be on the market preparing to buy some other recommended atlcoin
It makes you feel uncomfortable because you didn't do stop loss. You have poor risks management because even the price got breakdown you still not sell your posistion. I know that many traders are struggling and worrying because of the price of bitcoin, they gut stuck in their posistions and now they have loss in their portfolio. Holding in the year 2017 is a good decision but holding in this current year is not a good decision because the market is bear.

My experience, in 2017, at that time bitcoin was rising to the peak of its popularity, so there I was very excited to hunt for bitcoin and finally I could buy a car, and shop ... !!
it's a big result if you get a car from this job, my best experience is to create an industry in the field of fashion and is still going well. The capital that I got from the results of being a bounty campaign participant and making several investments, which finally until now I own this industry

Was reading about how Bitcoin first came into existence and people's first experiences with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, etc on Reddit. I want to know how your guy's first experiences was with Bitcoin, and if you ever had any regrets or wins throughout the years. Also, would be cool to know how people first actually got Bitcoin back nearly a decade ago when it wasn't as easy as buying some from a local Bitcoin ATM near you.

I've known Bitcoin since 2008 through a friend. Her husband is into mining at that time but I am one of those people who ignored its existence and importance so I focused on work and real-life solutions on financial problems. Then another friend of mine got herself into crypto around 2014, but then we're still clueless about its potential, the exchange was around $800 at that time. I can say that I 50% ignored all about it since I don't have $800 for one BTC. After a few months passed, BOOM! BTC went sky high to something I can't really afford so I only bought what my extra money could take. Then it went to its ATH after that last 2017 which I know a lot of people here know about it.

If you invested in BTC since the beginning or probably not later than 2015, you are still in profit even if we considered how much the rate BTC holds now. It was really a missed opportunity for HODLers like me at that time.

~snip~

In 2009, when Bitcoin was launched, a friend who studied with me at the university, went to the computer lab and told me that he was accumulating a digital currency through a tap, he told me they were free, that I would also take advantage, in I didn't pay attention to that moment, because I thought they were jobs through ads that paid very little.

In 2017 I found him again, he told me that he was trading with Bitcoin, then he told me that he had lost more than 1000 Bitcoins, he lost the private keys he had collected at that time from the university, he had it on a pendrive and he lost it, the truth It's amazing how that fortune was lost. The moral I took at that time so far is that everything, absolutely every opportunity should be seized no matter how simple it is.

I didn't have BTC when I first started, I just tried buying XRP to trade it myself. When I got BTC, its not a new experience already since its almost the same thing for all crypto.


thanks for the advice, but I need to wait for the right time, as we know the price of bitcoin is now back below $ 9000 and it makes me feel uncomfortable, but I will always be on the market preparing to buy some other recommended atlcoin

The good decision will be always at on your own hand, if you are uncomfortable, just sit back and relax for a while and wait for the perfect timing that you think and you are sure that good things will happen for Bitcoin, no one will gonna force you to buy Bitcoin if you are not yet ready, so for me, follow your instinct as I do always, when I am in doubt I pause for a moment and wait for the perfect timing.

I can't find ways to relax when all are dumping and the value of your BTC keeps depreciating, its best to also dump and then also buy when they start buying as well.

I first founf ut about bitcoin on some high tech wbsites while i was looking for ways to earn money. I came across bitcoin mining and I liked it so much. The idea of generating your own money was amazing. Using digital forms of payment is the future and i akways like high tech futuristic stuff so bitcoin jaturally attracted me.

Ok, my history was like this

2014- It's the first time I'm giving more money to invest in bitcoin. (2.000$)
2015- It was probably the best year since I came out with a profit of $ 1,400 and had a total second thought about bitcoin. PROFIT 1.400$
2016- I was scamed, because I had no experience. LOST 1.000$
2017- I decided to dedicate bitcoin and its study, and invest about $ 1,000, bitcoin is declining, me at a loss. LOST 700$
2018- I decide that year to be an observer, not to participate.
2019- This year I had a couple of successful trades and a lot of progress on the mental things about bitcoin, that is, I don't give up easily, and that hard work brings...

You have to be cunning, look to the future, have a plan, to be successful in the crypto world.

I have read different stories of this thread especially from first page , in my own case I have not had it very good with bitcoin after hearing about it like 2 years ago. Some had to do faucets and it changed their lives, I guess they were early adopters.
I'm waiting to also see if I can tell a sweet story with bitcoin.

of course i have big regrets for bitcoin, i knew it since 2014 and i just selling it , because i didn't think about hodl it for long time.
oh yeah, on that time , i just 21 years , and my brain is fully of hookers and alcohol.
i found bitcoin and another altcoins on internet, and i try to find it for free , i got it, many many simple task on twitter for get btc on that time, like retweet a stupid tweet for 0.01 btc .
and also such as doge coin and Redcoin, its so easy to get it.
faucet still have a huge reward, but well , all for fucking alcohol  Grin
how i wish i have that chance,to know bitcoin earlier than when i entered.at least you are lucky that what you spent for alcohol is the profit you earn from here and not from you parents money lol.

well, so what will you do if u knowing btc early ?
I think u will satisfy your world desire,rather than hold it and put it to your investement, because what its btc ?
its just nothing, believe me , its just nothing on that time, no one talk about it, there is no real news about it.
and as long there are still people there who want to buy it , i will try to find it.
but well, times changes everything.
and u know what the best of it ?
I spent tens of btc on alcohol, which means I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on alcohol at today's rate, maybe The Dalmore 62 will be enough  Grin.

I first knew Bitcoin through social media, then I find out more about bitcoin, Initially I got Bitcoin through a faucet, then cloud mining, until finally getting to know this forum, what makes me regret is that when I get bitcoin I always sell, because it used to be very cheap, if patiently holding bitcoin will certainly get a lot of profit.

Most guys learned about Bitcoin from the web. In the place where I live, cryptocurrencies are still unknown for most people as they simply stay away from the Internet through the problems with the connection. However, recently a fellow I know well, started trading when he heard about BTC in a TV program. It seems the guy has a feel of crypto: the start gave excellent results.

For me, bitcoin was introduced by my friends and told me about cryptocurrency. The things that I can do and the way how you can earn some money. First, I'm not interested in it because I'm busy and can't focus very well on the bitcoin industry. But when I got some time and needed a new source of income, my friend tells me about this forum. After that, I join to this community. I search and learn many things about bitcoin; reading continuously, and gathering information is genuinely the best key. Smiley
Same here! It was introduced by my friend who's past time is trading and luckily I knew about bitcoin and gain a lot from it. I guess everyone is doubting the bitcoin as it is new that time and technology was not that capable of something awesome. I join this community to read and know more about blockchain.

Hello everyone, I am like many of those who make life on this platform, a crypto enthusiasts, I knew the bitcoin by those stories from the deep web, so I wanted to try to find some fraction of it, I set out to read to learn what it was, after spending a couple of months trying to understand what the hell I wanted to get into, I realized that I do not need to enter the deep web or anything like that, I just needed to create a wallet, and that even playing could make me of fractions of bitcoin, I speak of 2014, at that time there were games like FarmSatoshi, BotsFighter, CannonSatoshi, SatoshiGalaxy, CoinBrawl, were games some very funny others not so much, to reach certain levels you got good income. Besides that there were platforms like Zappchain, I loved that place, I had to make good comments and the best 3 or 5 were awarded, I had to access through an account in Coinbase, I saw many great people in this cryptographic world there, it was amazing you felt in the right place, unfortunately I do not know what happened with that platform, could not get funding and at the time was full of spam and great people walked away. Bitsfortips, it was a great place, I made little life there, after a few months they stopped monetizing Venezuelans, I don't remember why exactly it was, but from there more, to Taringa!, they started to give bits (10 bits maximum) per account, the things that happened there were amazing, I think I became a half mafia, breaking the system, from the creation of multi-accounts, getting to have up to 100 accounts, and looking for how to exchange votes, and accumulate fractions of BTC.

I remember, that my first sale of bitcoin, was in December 2015 were 0.16 BTC and at that time were like 80 USD, it was exciting, convert that future digital money by fiat, buy clothes to dress me that year, thanks to the BTC, and also to my parents, they did not leave the astonishment and me of the joy.

At that time it was the madman who did not stop talking about the amazing bitcoin, blockchain, and from there do not stop talking about this.

After that December 2014, my experience with other wallets, such as Cryptonator, blockchain, Coinbase, Xapo, was added Coinwallet, I was a fan of faucets, then worth it, I also liked to accumulate altcoins, I remember having an absurd amount of altcoins, which to date is a considerable amount of money, I would say more than 10.000 USD, it turns out that they were hacked, and they delivered the private keys of the accounts, guess who even in 2019 can not find his key? If I don't remember where I saved that file, and an astonishing amount of altcoins were lost, that to date are well valued some, others I imagine that they changed their name, as a step with dash, others died.

All those who start that world, have to have a history of how they lost $ by forgetting those small details.  With time, I entered social media platform based in blockchain as Steemit, there again I felt like in Zappchain amazing people, where I monetized content and quantities were absurd, I spent 3 months analyzing how the hell to notice me, improving my drawing skills.


After that, already 3 years have passed, in which Steemit, has left me great experiences, from giving 2 talks in a university, faculty of economy of the LUZ, the first one was informal, but in front of all the professors, administrative personnel and deans, just when I thought that I would not return to give an exhibition in front of a professor, I speak in front of 24 people, with highly qualified profiles, many formed in other countries, and I a simple graduate of engineer in industrial instrumentation, but passionate of the cryptos.

Another exciting thing, attend meetups, because in Steemit was part of the community that supports Spanish speakers and had the role of moderator, and by my way of being with people, more than anything because I used to give advice, recommendations on how to guide the content of people, in addition to explaining since it was a cryptocurrency, how to change it to fiat, how the blockchain works, and so hundreds and hundreds of explanations, I really enjoyed that time, in the meetups the people when they knew me in person, it was gratifying to see the joy of them when they met me, and well the same for them, it was amazing to meet other people who begin to understand the blockchain, some very well versed to express themselves in public.

After Steemit, I went to other platforms like Scorum, Narrative, Publish0x, Hypespace, Golos, Whaleshares, Trybe.one, flote.app,  Whaleshares, Smoke, Bearshares, Weku, Ultrum, Masmic, Cent, Typestryc, Beta-sapient, Yours, Memocash, Mind, and so on a long list of social media based on blockchain.

Forget the part where I'm part curator of Curangel content, inner-block in Steemit.

That has been all my journey, I tried to learn to program but I could never do it, someday I will be in better economic conditions to be able to dedicate my time to it, and do something in the blockchain, has been my dream since I met him.

It was end of 2010, when a customer of mine suggested to pay in Bitcoin. Back then I was like "wtf?!". I came to the conclusion, it must have been something like a "world-of-warcraft-currency" and denied. He would have paid 4k USD in BitCoin back then. Probably was the worst (economical) idea of my life denying him to pay in BitCoin.
Mid 2013 i then finally jumped the train.

good experience, I only have experience for investment only because in my area do not accept bitcoin as a means of payment for buying goods or food. I hope in the future I can feel that, surely it will be fun because there are still few people who know bitcoin especially in my place
