Topic: What was your INITIAL motivation to buying Bitcoin - page 3. (Read 2665 times)
i've heard of bitcoin way back in 2012, i didn't havr any interest on it at first since i was also investing money on the stock market and a bitcoin wallet is not yet available in my country, i decided to sudy it first and earlier 2017 i started to invest on bitcoin since wallet is already available and is tested to be secured, i did regret the time i had no wallet since before that, bitcoin was really cheap and now its value is higher than what i expected.
I would like to find out what initially attracted community members to bitcoin.
My initial intention was to make money. I was an active online earner back in 2008-09 but later joined a day job and stopped online activities. However, after a long time in 2015, I came back to online world and started with bitcoin. I read many articles about bitcoin before I started so I though to give it a try because it sounded interesting.
My main reason for discovering Bitcoin and using it was o hide my money from banksters. So it is option 1. Hopefully it turned out that it can make my money grow, this is how I turned into an holder, but that was not the primary reason.
I think for me the reason why I initially go to bitcoin because I wanted to earn money from it. I'm reading around the forum that bitcoin is the best investment specially if you are just to hold it for long. And I think most of the community here would agree to me that this is also their motivation.
The intial motivation was 1&2, for a long time this was the only reason. Now I decided to buy a few miners and there was the motivation of making some profit.
Furthermore I am looking into altocoin right now, not because I dislike bitcoin but because I am interesed (maby buy some rigs)

The motivation was the need to secure a future. I started using bitcoin, because I want to get rich with him and not work. I really like anonymity, decentralization and a good price increase.
Motivation? I think because of this high return in the future. But I only buy with my spare money. Also, I buy bitcoin to used it to buy some stuffs on the net.Used it also to pay my bills online.
With the few places accepting bitcoin still relative to the whole industry I would think most peoples motivation would be to buy and hold rather than aquire bitcoins to make a purchase. Unless I guess they were dealing with a darkmarket. I bought and hold since many years back.
first I see the high price of bitcoin in 2013 when it reaches $1100. I am wondering with this coin why have high prices. then I find out and I finally got motivated to get it.
To be honest, I tried to dig out when was my first purchase of bitcoin and I found it here:
My purpose? Just for fun... I really didn't think it will become so big today.

The motivation that I invest in bitcoin is nothing but making money. And I think most people will have opinions like me. 
I just wanted to make money because a lot of people that keep telling me to grab the opportunity in bitcoin because of the possibilities that i can earn a lot of money from bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies because of their volatility in their prices that most of the trades took advantage of.
I was motivated by the movement of Bitcoin, When I bought Bitcoin that time Bitcoin price was 1600$ now it is 2600$++ I almost made 1000$ profit per Bitcoin even I am not going to sell it I will hold my bitcoin for another 5 years, I am motivated by the potential of Bitcoin I do not want to be late to make the profit by Btc, It will be a big future currency, When when Btc moves up it boosts me more and I am motivated because it will make me financially more better in future.
For me, the initial motivation for buying bitcoin is that it is something new that caught my attention. And after researching, I find blockchain to be a brilliant idea!
Because bitcoin prices will continue to grow
I just wanted to make money. That was it really. Before I got myself really introduced to bitcoin, I don't have much idea really as to what is unique and best about bitcoin. The only thing that attracted me was people who are into it are earning much from bitcoin and the price of bitcoin is growing really high very quickly.
But now that I am into this, I learned to appreciate bitcoin more than its price. But its value is still the number 1 for me.

It was last year quarter that I suddenly came to know of bitcoins, I had no clue what it was but I wanted money anyhow to earn a fitbit charge hr 2, and I jumped in and since that day I have not looked back, so for me the initial motivation was money, fitness and ya I wanted to avoid the government and it taxes so ya Bitcoin helped me a lot and that has got my fitness on superior levels and I am glad Bitcoin came into my life
Initially it caught my attention by being on the news and the price, I had heard about it on and off but then when I saw it on the tv it pushed me to find out more about it.
Once I started looking into it I soon realised there was a whole crypto world that I was unawre of and 4 years later I am still here.

Profit!
Plus I wanted to be able to diversify into online projects I liked at that point. Doing that with my CC/PP was not really something I was prepared to do.

actually I am not buying bitcoin for the first time because I am earning bitcoin with free but after I am doing trading with fiat, then I am starting to buy and sell bitcoin. my motivation to buying bitcoin is I really want to make money like the others and I want to buy something with the money I earn from bitcoin. I think its interesting if we can buy in lower price and sell in high price so we can make a lot of profit.
