Hi,
My story is not actually good or bad, but it is full of potential learnings:
I came to bitcoin for money. Clearly, I wanted to make the most of it. I read a lot about trading and started. And I was lucky. I thought this was because I had beatten the system and I was super smart but... Well that was mainly about luck.
Then, of course, I went on investing and... at some point, I wasn't lucky anymore. And stopped everything and left all my accounts. I had invested money I could afford to lose but losing it actually wasn't in my plan. So I quitted the community for some time.
And then one day I heard about a promising business. Its founders were trying to found it through bitcoin crowdfunding. I discovered a whole new aspect of bitcoin. I came back here and mitigated my bitcoin activity: it was no longer only about trading.
This is why I keep saying that bitcoin is not merely a trading tool. And this is also why I believe in it and in its potential!
