I was first aware of it in 2009. Forgot completely. Became dimly aware again in 2011. Did nothing. Got rolling properly in mid 2013. I feverishly read up on it for a couple of weeks. Looked up Gox, thought 'this is the NASDAQ of Bitcoin? Fuck that' and went to localbitcoins.

Almost all of the 'opportunities' and businesses looked like blatant scams to me and time proved it to be correct. I've learnt vast amounts of new stuff along the way.

I'm here for months and I feel like I`m still on the very beginning. Experience, unexplainable cause I never dreamed about some internet currency and about all this world of other currencies. I have problem to explain others what bitcoin is, movements, some economy revolution against bank regime, is it some secrete organization big plan, so much mysteries about all this, and people are making real cash and live from profit they made here. Who love internet and computers, who spend a lot of time on internet, love to play games online and visit social networks, he sure must to love all bitcoin idea.

The experience I cannot forget when I first started bitcoin is to be bullied. We all know that in the early years of bitcoin it was tag by others that it is a scam, fraud and even some that this is a pyramiding skim. I can still remember that moment that I were explaining to someone what is bitcoin then some other people who hear me said to the person I was talking that I just scamming that person. I was somehow embarrass on that people but I just told myself that someday that people will come back to me and ask me to teach them on how to get profit by the use of bitcoin.

I would like to know what experiences did you had when you first started with Bitcoins. As for me, I had many that I would like to share with you.

When I began in the Bitcoin world, I was a complete rookie with no proper knowledge of how did mining worked or anything about cryptocurrencies. I just thought about Bitcoin as another payment processor like PayPal. But when I joined the BitcoinTalk community, I learned so many things along the way. In my process of learning in the first days, I decided to invest into cloud mining services. Since I didn't knew much about it, I invested a plenty amount of Bitcoins to start my journey into it. During that time, I had gotten into many different services. Those were GAW Miners, then Cointellect, cloudminr.io and finally Hashnest. After getting scammed many times by the services mentioned previously, (except for Hashnest) I have lost many Bitcoins. As a result, I decided to never invest into cloud mining and thus dedicate myself into learning more about the cryptocurrency and look for other ways to earn Bitcoins. It was then that I enrolled into the signature campaign that I am currently into and during all that time I began to earn Bitcoins as well as diversify my investments into different alt coins. Now I am dedicated to trading Bitcoins and other alt coins, as well as working for it (like the signature campaign and working as a freelancer) in order to earn coins and build up my portfolio along the way.

Anyways, what would be your experiences with this exciting cryptocurrency?  Cheesy
When I started, my friends told me to join signature campaigns because that is the most efficient way to acquire money. Not knowing anything, I ask so many questions like how to change signature, how to post, what are the rules etc. Up until know my campaign is not yet finished becausw it extended. I also tried to read as many as I can when I was a newbie and watch videos about mining.

I pretty much lost immediately upon buying, cause I got in at the end of December Cheesy oh well, lesson learned and I got into crypto and doing translation bounties, which I found out I absolutely love, so that's a win in my book.

I started my newbie's way on this forum. It was easier for me than for you, because my friend who brought me to this forum helped me.

Lucky you. I learn everything about crypto by myself including this forum. It was a long way to learn all this but better slow but sure than instant but knowing nothing in reality Grin

At first, it was difficult for me, I bought bitcoin, but absolutely did not know what to do with it. Then I began to find various blogs, people who understand it and this forum. It really helped me.

I heard about bitcoin the first time from a friend who received bitcoin payment from his Chinese business partner . Bitcoin was 220$ at the time. I marveled at his techie and bought 0.5bitcoin from him just to have the feeling of a techie guy. In the coming year, I joined some ponzi schemes unwittingly in a bid to increase my bitcoin holding. The last of the schemes that took all my bitcoin was MMM united, still hurts till date.

However, I got into some bitcoin chat rooms and youtube channels much later, and then I learnt and grew my knowledge reasonably. At the moment , I think it's been a jouney of self discovery and exposure. I have a decent bitcoin and alt (Ela, eth)  in my portfolio. I think it was good nonetheless.

I was afraid that all this deception and fraud, but still took the risk to invest their money. Since then, my contribution has increased 3 times, and I see no reason not to trust bitcoin anymore.

When I started with bitcoin, it all starts when my friend told me about it and I became interested right away because of its price, its convenience and also its transparency. At first, he told me about this forum where I can earn bitcoin in different ways, the first months were rough for me, I still dont earn bitcoin and because of that  I felt slightly bored about it. Later on, they give me inspiration to do more posts and to be more eager so that I can earn my first ever bitcoin, because of that, I started to strive more and when I got my first ever bitcoin, eventhough it is just a small amount, I was very happy. Bitcoin really gives me hope to be successful someday.

In my first year in bitcoin, I really don't know what is it. I'm so curious about it because I always see it in advertisements. So I just research myself about what really is it. And after that I discover btc faucet where I can earn some cents doing captcha. I'm happy with just that but after a year when faucet becomes too little because btc prices hikes. I feel lazy.

I just joined the Bitcointalk community 3 months ago and was not able to give much attention to into it. It was just in the later part of January that I began to give more time in this community. My friend advised me to join in some bounty campaigns in order for me to ear btc. I am currently now into bounty campaign and its still on going. I am looking forward for my first earning from this campaign.

I started at the worst possible beginning of my bitcoin experience, I joined a ponzi scheme. I thought that they are really trading the money we are investing to them. It's already too late when I get to know about ponzi schemes. The founder of the group already left us with all the investments on their wallets.. After being scammed, I invested on a mining site. Unfortunately, it's another scam for me because I wasn't able to withdraw the funds. What a great experience lmao. Now I'm just doing the signature and social media campaigns, no more other investments on public groups. Grin Grin Grin
That was bad luck for you, to me i started bitcoin with the help of my frined, who was so much experience and he helpt me too much while learing about bitcoin, he also guide me in starting rading altcoins, he give me tips about rading altcoin from time to time, which really protect me from a big lost.

I have a very simple story because I bought bitcoin and it is still stored in my wallet. I immediately chose a long-term investment.

I was thinking that bitcoin will make me rich easily without hard work and i also thought that not many people knows about cryptocurrencies.

That's what I've thought at first when I've started my journey with Bitcoin. As it became highly valuable over time, I thought that I was going to get rich quick. However, that was not the case as Bitcoin worked out just like regular money. You'll need to work hard to obtain what you want in life. Of course, with Bitcoin is much easier, but the same analogy applies to it. During my experiences with Bitcoin, I had been scammed many times and lost most of my hard-earned coins. If it wasn't by that, then I would've been rich by now.

Despite everything, the experiences we learn will help us teach others who're new into cryptocurrencies to avoid making mistakes. Most cloud mining services, and investment programs are scams, leaving trading, mining at home, and working for Bitcoin the only solutions towards helping you earn money in the long run. I’ve learned this the hard way, but I’ve managed to gain experience every step of the way. Smiley
