Topic: The best stories about your crypto experience - page 2. (Read 687 times)

Some months ago, 2019 I started to trade bitcoin. My first trade was awful and I lost so much. I started to regret and asked myself why I started using cryptocurrencies  in first place. I said to myself that if I did not use bitcoin I will not trade. Later, I stopped trading. But, not quite long after I stopped trading, I read about swing trade, it was nothing serious to me because I was so impatient, but I just said to myself that ' I should try'. I tried it in December last year with $500. I divided it into three and invested it on bitcoin, bitcoin cash and dash. Now, I am so happy, I learn about this long term trade and it pays me. I have gain more than $1500 since the beginning of this year to now. I gained back my losses and still gaining more.

As I have seen the posts of other, I see how cryptocurrency changed lives. I am also one of the lucky people to have profits in cryptocurrency but not bigger than others. However, I want to tell my best story as contradicted to others. I have 2 years in cryptocurrency and I joined different campaigns. Only few gave me a satisfactory payments. My first work was sig and moderation. Almost my entire energy had been gone because of that campaign. I had worked for almost 7 months or nearly a year yet, I got zero. However, instead of losing hope. I work and work hard. And I got a campaign lasted for a month and gave me $2500.

Why do I said that? Because the best story in cryptocurrency is not about our wins for every campaigns and investments but the lessons we earned for our failures. We have to experience mistakes and unfortunes so that our success has a soul.

My best story about crypto experience is about Ethereum, and it's a story about getting scammed. Back in 2017, it seemed obvious to me that altcoins were going to rise a lot. But I did not have much money to spare, and zero experience at this stuff (prior to that, I only used Bitcoin), so I spend $16 on my purchase. I bought 1 Ethereum with that money and withdrew it to ethereumwallet.net or something like that. A few months later, the price skyrocketed to $300. Unfortunately, the wallet provider wasn't trustworthy and decided to pretend there was a hack, effectively stealing our money. However, as they wanted to seem trustworthy for a while, they offered reimbursements of 40% to those who lost their money. I was one of them, and so I got 0.4 ETH back. Then they stopped pretending, closed everything and disappeared, but I still got more than $100 out of a $16 investment. I sold it and was quite happy in the end, even though I got scammed.

In June 2017 if I'm not mistaken I know bitcoin from my friend, he has been known about bitcoin when we were in university but he didn't tell me about his activity into bitcoin. He just left some of classes because he always staying up late to understand bitcoin and he was a trader at that time. I wasn't interested to know what he was doing every night.

When were graduated I tried to find some jobs and I was accepted as sales marketing at that time and made my life was changed slowly. Everyday I worked for $200 per months that me thinking I was fooled by someone else. Greatfully, I met him after two years we didn't talk directly each other and tell he that he wasn't work and he never work since he was graduated.

I fell weird at that time, how he live without work but he has a car and can bought a house and also has a lot of money. He told me that he has bitcoin and a trader of it, two hours left and he just introduce about bitcoin is until I get interested to know more about it. Finally, I leaved my job and focus to understand bitcoin and sometime I spend my saving money to trade. I got the result and I was very interested into bitcoin and until now I'm very greatful to know it.

Before the year 2017, I never know what Bitcoin is really aimed at for. I researched quite a bit about it knowing that it was used merely in the dark web as the popular currency. Since I believe that dark web, which is different from deep web, has plenty of illegal things done,  I started to have the bad thoughts of what Bitcoin is made for.
But then fast-forward, one of my friend introduced me to Bitcoin then cleared all the misconception I had.
This is when I started to research more about the basics of it, then since I need more knowledge about it, I started registering to this forum.

Though am such that will never believe anyone without a good result, so, with some of my friends already trading cryptocurrency and doing well in real life, I was then convinced of the prospect in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. My first profit came from faucets and I had almost 0.6btc which I sold early to get some good feelings about Bitcoin. With little efforts put together with friends, I was able to get good skills in line with Blockchain technology and was able to get a certification with Blockchain affiliate Company. Hence, I started early more than usual and till date I have no reason look back and regret my actions of being part of this community.

My trading skills have been well developed and still developing as I crave for more knowledge. Currently, I make some good reasonable amount of money from my daily trading, even on a long-term trade I made some decent profit. Truly speaking, am a type that love investing on knowledge and not just looking for profits in detriment of my Blockchain career and well being.

I heard about BTC sometime in 2012/13 but I wasn't immediately interested, I started getting more serious about the whole thing only in 2014. At that time someone posted video in which Tim Draper (American venture capital investor) saying that BTC will reach $10 000 in next 3 years. When I did a little better research into what this was about, and that it was a very intelligent man, it was clear to me that BTC was not just a passing thing.

During 2015, BTC was quite cheap (around $200 - $250) and I was buying few, then wait to price go up and sell for small profit. Now I wish I hold them, because we all know what happened in 2017. However, over the years, profit has become less important to me, and I became more interested in the fact that BTC is actually a very useful currency and store of value.

Like most people who get interested in crypto, my first steps started with faucets. With low BTC price at that time, and huge price increase over the years my claims have become very valuable. In one month with some refs it was easy to get 0.15 BTC or even more from faucets

I think many of the people in crypto have started from investment because that would be easier than other cryptoactivities such as mining, wherein it requires equipments so it would be a bit costy, bounty projects on the other hand is easier compared to mining, but you need to be familiar with this forum. Trading I believe would come after bounty projects.

I started with small investments way back 2017, then someone introduced this forum to me in order for me to know more about cryptos. It was a good thing, I learned about bounty projects and earned some coins in which I practiced trading to the coins that I have received, up until this point. I have never tried mining unlike to which OP started his crypto experience. But I have plans of doing so, as well as spreading my investments to other cryptos since i am now having trouble joining bounty campaigns due to the requirements, but that doesn't mean I would stop the method where I started with.

We have different best and successful stories about our journey in the cryptocurrency, but not all the crypto user are same as we have just like the other they are bad experienced since they entered this because they buy a coin in high value and probably the price goed down and other losing money because of the scam project and anything.

Lol I can remember that I was really interested in Bitcoin mining when I was still a newbie, because I heard stories that you're going to make a lot of money from mining.

But, back then I didn't have enough, so I couldn't afford the equipment that is needed to set up my mining computer. I had to forget about it, and next thing I started getting interested in cloud mining, but I never tried that one, when I was ready to start investing, someone told me that it's no longer profitable. I had to look for other means, and I never stopped investing.

I can also remember that in 2015 (this is a long story) I was still new to Bitcoin and didn't know that it was volatile. I got a project that I was working on, and my client wanted to make payment through PayPal, but it wasn't functioning in my country then. He recommended that I get a Bitcoin wallet. Before then I have been hearing about Bitcoin, but I have not made use of it. So I installed a Xapo wallet and when I received the money, the next day it reduced. I had questioned Xapo support why they deducted my money, and they told me that they never deducted my money, rather it was due to the price fluctuation of Bitcoin.

The best stories in my crypto journey are when I can make money from bitcoin and altcoin. And yes, from the beginning I learn crypto, especially learning about trading, I have the chance to make a profit from various coins at the market, and I remember that in 2017-2018 was the best stories ever for me to make big money. I want to repeat that moment in the next halving because I think that moment will come again to us and help us to make big money like before.

One of my best experience so far is when my friend invited me to join this forum, he told me about this and I am very thankful to him because of what he have done, I can now buy what my wants and neeeds, not like before when I don't have enough money to buy what I want.
This forum really help me with my personal needs especially with my family, I can now buy also what they want, whenever they need and want something I can give it to them because ofnthis forun.
So far that is only what I experienced as one of my best experience, I hope that there would be nicer experience that will happen soon.

My crypto experience was mainly getting interested in altcoins as a quick way to make money. I got into trading and tried it all from trading shitcoins to trading top altcoins and finally into trading and then holding Bitcoin.

You have to kind off grow up to become a holder.

Most people look for a quick buck and get into all those scams hyips, cloud mining, faucets, all to learn that the real value lies in Bitcoin.

Best experience is to achieve financial freedom through bitcoin, and because of bitcoin I was able to Zero out my debts and make myself more liquid, especially on a times like this where we are facing a big problems. Bitcoin changed my life, all I can say is bitcoin is important to me.


Its ok to talk to someone, but don’t let your money and yourself to be deceived, you still need to make your own research about their offers.

Yeah, it was pretty much like free money.

You sold off your coins during the bloodshed?

The best experience I have is learning about cryptocurrency. Of course, at first, I doubt it but after experiencing it, I find it interesting. My whole journey here is what I can say my best experience. From learning, posting, and improving my knowledge about crypto. In the first place its quite hard for me but later on I see some improvement in me. Although I'm still improving, I can say that I have already learned a lot, and even experience things like earning and buying the things that I want because of cryptocurrency.

I guess in the future, I will gain more fun and interesting experience that I can share here.  And btw, I think it's also one of my unforgettable experience when I had an issue here in the forum with the other account, but I manage to clear everything about it. It's unforgettable since I saw that there are members here who trust me even when they don't know me personally.

I think most of the accounts that created and active that year will have same stories mate about their experiences because that year is the Highlight of this market.

People that year(Including me) made good profit that year but after makes us also experience the Bloodiest year of this market.

I remember being basically broke and learning about bitcoin in 2011....my first purchase was on VirWox, buying Linden Dollars, then trading them in the Second Life game to some lady in France for some bitcoin. I got 13BTC @ $11 each!

I got a bunch and sold them for 100% profit to people in person, and it was awesome...as the time went by, other friends and people I know wanted, so I was buying and selling to them directly, most of the time for about 20% profit, and I would repeat over and over.

The sad part was that I didnt hold....I was constantly buying more stock, selling for a profit, then buying even more stock.
Then I started trying to find other ways to make my bitcoin grow, so I 'invested' in some cloud mining websites (GAW mining), some Litecoin mining operations (LTCGear?), and a few other places (Bitfunder) where I lost most of what I had.

So now I have a very small percentage of what I could have had, if I had just been keeping some of the profits I was making, but I was too greedy.

I have been holding for a few years now...and I keep a small amount on some exchange which I trade to try and make some more bitcoin. The moral of the story is to not be greedy....keep your bitcoin safe....DONT try and 'invest' your bitcoin in get rich quick schemes.

I am not broke anymore, and do well, but I still shed a tear when I think of how much bitcoin I could have had, if I had just been more responsible.

Seems like everyone were looking for a job online then landed here. Well, the same as mine if it weren't about that CAPTCHA resolving thing I won't be here. Back in 2017 when I was looking for an income that would save me from my pleasure I mean I wanna buy my stuff independently, and the thing that always pop out in the internet whenever I search for an income online is that CAPTCHA stuff but it turn out to be a suspicious one; asking documents I can't provide. Later that, a friend of mine introduce me here, I know nothing about BTC beside that SilkRoad story and all. Am I worried? Yes, but I keep going since discussions here are entertaining, and interesting till I earn my rank, and by that day it was the day a friend of mine introduce me to what a signature camp is. Well, as of now, I find this forum differently not just as a source of income but a different community full of interesting stuff I want to know more. Well, I pursue a course which related to tech because of the influence of btc this forum in my life. I am still learning though, I am still no one in this community. My story isn't that interesting but I wanna share too.

Oh history.
I am kind of a forgetful human being but I will try.

It was years back when I saw bitcoin in one of a pay per click website.
I do it because someone referred me and then he will do the other work for me. Which is also referring. He will put downlines as they call it.

Afterwards, it was faucets. It was really less when converted to USD back then.
I earn like 200k sats per day before with bonuses when I am in the right time. But now, they pay like 10-50 sats (maybe less) which might take you forever to get 1 bitcoin.
I never stopped there into knowing bitcoin deeper. Now here I am in this forum.
I am not much for technicality of it but having the basics is fine with me as long as I understand it.
