Topic: What was your INITIAL motivation to buying Bitcoin - page 5. (Read 2665 times)
At the beginning I was really excited earning on Bitcoin, I can earn through different things and learn new things each day, mining, investing, joining campaign, and many others things. Before my initial motivation is really to earn coins so that I can buy things on bitcoin to upgrade my computer like buying, high spec. video card, fan, storage and, etc. I was really into it to buy stuff with the coins that I earn but as the day goes buy and I learned how this bitcoin works I'm starting to have double thoughts on spending my coins or keeping the for the future, like investing and stuffs. It's really hard to decide what to do especially that you have learned a lot and many people says that bitcoin will be big in the future. You'll just need to save it until that time, but my other thought says that you need a bitter computer to be able to do so or if you want to mine and make new ways to earn coins. So its really hard to decide now for me but I hope soon I can figure this out.
At first for me, I just wanted nothing to do with the banks with respect to my international transactions which was becoming hectic in my country. Bitcoin came in as a saviour and since then, transaction wasn't only easy to do but I now make some cash as well.
To be frank i started purchasing bitcoin to spend some time online with some of the sites i was very much active during that time and to gamble a bit without that coming out in your bank receipt and then trading was my motivation after that.
I was convinced that bitcoin is the future of finance.
Which part convinced you that it is the future. Fascinated by the technologoy and by the idea of owning money without relying on a bank.
But the fact is ,you still need the help of bank to send money to buy bitcoins. Buying drugs..
This is one field i never like to venture. 
there's an interesting story behind this issue, I was actually a completed graduate and enrolled with a master degree course at that time when I got involved in this platform. basically, i was facing a money crisis and I couldn't find any opportunity to be employed anywhere, in the meantime, one of my cousins asked me to invest here to meet up my monthly expenses... that was the starting for me...
I am a 51 year old lady. My family suffered a lot in the economic crisis and we needed to reinvent ourselves or die. That's the simple truth. I didn't want to die and give into the Elites who just want to cull the world's population for their own benefit. I wanted to fight and survive for real freedom. My name means freedom in Greek and I wanted to fight for the future of my Son and his children and his children's children. I might not be alive to see it, but at least now I can die in peace, knowing that I tried and was a part of this disruptive revolution. 
On a micro economic level, I want to look after my Parents in their old age, get my Son married in a decent way, sort out my husband's and my health and one day grow a crypto resort..well that's a pipe dream but who knows lol.

My most significant motivation when I first buy bitcoin was the ability to pay somebody living in another country. Swift and other bank wires are time wasting and expensive. Besides profit and financial things, the opportunity to break borders between people was the thing attracted me.
Getting away from tax ( goverment ) and make money for better future
Since bitcoin has big value so it's great option to invest especially when my currency keep weak over dollar recently

I chose other. I bought some to have a stake in it and keep me interested.
Ist was like "hmm interesting, take my money", i bought exactly 2 bitcoins for 200$. Now they are gone but splitted in over 40 altcoins.
A friend of mine actually introduced me to bitcoin but did not really tell me what it really was for, all she ever said was you got make money by just using the internet and claiming through faucets. So basically my initial motivation of buying bitcoin was for financial purposes because that was how it was introduced me right from the very start.
Buying drugs..

A friend of me was making a lot of money from investing in to a bitcoin program... when he showed proof i was instantly sold. Ofcourse i wasnt so lucky and lost about 2 btc before i figured out this btc world. I am still confinced that bitcoin and alt coins are the best oppurtunitys to make some money

I would like to find out what initially attracted community members to bitcoin.
It was my way of earning. Since I still dont have work and cant work yet, I have to find something legitimate when it comes to earning money. So I found out about bitcoin and it really helped me to earn not just for mysel but for my family as well.
Interesting responses. I must say, some of the reasons like gaming never even crossed my mind.
Well for me the initial reason which motivate me to buy bitcoins is making money because it is having very good potential for the long run, since the price is expected to rise highly in the future. But thats not the unique reason, because Bitcoin as decentralized, anonymous crypto currency is attractive.
Needed a high value return for my investment and liked very much the idea of having a currency which can be transferred with very low fees and faster than the fiat transfers.
Did know that the value will definitely reach sky one day so invested most of my savings.

I wanted to buy things online easily and without a bank or credit card or PayPal account they wanted all this info that I just never had since I don't own a credit card because debt is bad so I stay away from credit.
