Topic: What were your experiences with Bitcoin when you first started? - page 61. (Read 55268 times)

I had no experiences, although I'm still learning. In the beginning it was difficult to understand how all this working, but I finally did, I started using it as much as I could. Still I don't understand some things about BTC but I have the patient and the will to learn more about it every single day

I didn't like it much really when I first started. It was confusing and the confirmations were very confusing. I had no idea how they worked and why they're a big deal. Also I didn't understand what the miners fee was or how it worked.
Later I learned about how this all worked, and suddenly I liked Bitcoin and started using it.

Mine was a bit of a ride, my expertise with bitcoin took me a long time to get to where I am right now, I first started like any new guy trying to get a way to get free bitcoin and I was going through facets and putting them into wallets and then I lost them all in a dump try in a casino to get some extra, then I started looking for micro jobs, and now I am earning from signature campaign .

Overall it was an good experience about bitcoins as it started to give me some extra income which I was always looking to earn apart from my full day job income and it will always give you a good feeling when your wealth is increasing.

 :)when i started whit bitcoin was because i read an article of purse.io about the discont you can have whit bitcoins, after that i discovered primedice and the community, and after that i registered in the forum, and studying bitcoin

First impression is the last impression and it was a great experience to know about bitcoin from a friend who was earning a good amount of bitcoins which made me motivate to start investing in bitcoin and over a period of time I started earning too.

Yes, it will probably happen that way. The split may occur in any time, making 2 distinct Bitcoins on the markets. If that happens, then either Bitcoin Core would maintain its value, or Bitcoin Unlimited may take the lead in market cap. It will be an interesting time for Bitcoin, as once BU gets approved by the miners, it will become more scalable and put an end to the slow confirmation times.

Ever since I've started into Bitcoin, I've seen it change drastically. Before, it was the wild west, but now people see it as a serious investment to serve as a store of value.

I'm confident that the Bitcoin community would come up with a resolution to the scaling debate, to make it move forward towards mainstream adoption. I have not given my hopes yet on Bitcoin, and will continue to support it until the end. Just my opinion. 

Yeah almost all of bitcoin user is from this way. In the first try almost all are hard in trading almost loosing some bitcoin, in gambling don't know how to deposit or don't know how to bet, In sending bitcoin don't know what to do, until  years passed all this hard things in first day or first weeks become easy.

That was the issue faced by may as i do find it difficult to understand everything in the beginning but now there are web wallets to help the newbies to settle down and learn all about bitcoin but in the beginning it was hard to learn the trade with less options we had.

I'll never forget my first try of bitcoin and that is a mistake made by me. Since no one is guiding me and I'm not here in forum, I thought that hyips are the only way to earn bitcoin. I invested my profit from faucets there, at first my .001 btc earned .005 btc but when my second attempt, it already turned to scam which taught me a lesson and it was late I joined the forum and suddenly many already knew about it that all of them are scam.

 :)Its been very hard at the early use of bitcoin. In a short it became easy and when years passed I felt ease in the different methods of earning.

That can be some kind of act of carelessness on the both of you. Entering or exploring gambling when you are still new to Bitcoin might result into many loss. It is like entering also in a HYIP program that has a high risk involve on losing your so called investment.  For new users I would suggest taking a slow learning with Bitcoin, understanding Bitcoin and what it is as a whole before testing gamblings sites for the first time.

Actually when I was new in bitcoin gambling industry I barely understand how to bet but I just simply follow the procedures and eventually I was able to successfully gamble. I proved then that things would be easier if we will apply it in real practice, it's not complicated actually if you simplify it.
Further, you are here for a reason and you have to believe that any doubts in your mind will be answered by the helpful members here and I'm of them, so please don't hesitate.

First answer to your question, gambling site has their own wallet and you can use your exchange site wallet as well where you can cash in and our your money, transactions will be vice versa.

  :)i feel i am still a newbie in bitcoin industry and i need more time to learn bitcoin although know i now how to do trading, how to play gambling in bitcoin gambling site, i think my experiences is not much and i want to learn more and more. my experiences is in the first time i am too confuse to decide what wallet i should use and how to get new wallet but i think now i am understand a little about wallet especially web wallet in exchanges.

That was really a much strange experience with me . Actually when at once I listen about this then I thought that it is only a written words "bitcoin" to make just fool but when I resister at blockchain then I understand well that how did the bitcoin is spreading in the whole world and it is the truth against the bank system .
That was really a experience to think about everything​ in logic way , if you want to do some more better thing then anyone . That was awesome time for me .
Even today when I told and teach about bitcoin to my friends , then they looked at me with strange face and saying that you are making fool us , there is nothing that is more powerful and perfect then bank money system .

I would say we passed Early Adopters and moved to Early Majority, however the movement has adjusted the metric and the early adopter stage has moved to the Alt-Coins while the early majority is diversifying into them or getting into Bitcoin.

But your right using the present metric of Bitcoin ATM's it is far from mainstream or early majority in some countries and 7/tx per second is far from Visa at 56,000, Paypal is considered mainstream at 115 tx in 2014. Ebay has been around for a long time and online shopping as well and is considered mainstream but could be seen as Early Majority back five to seven years ago.

In other words it depends on the country at a macro scale but it is farther ahead in other locations.
Overall the interpretation is debatable.

Of course the extreme case means pretty big blocks which makes Blockchain compression proposals all the more attractive.

Bitcoin seems to be entirely new for all the users around, but the same will give loss at the beginning stage as it looks to be exactly different from our daily life. The bitcoin as a growing digital asset won't get recognised by users at the beginning but soon after this when days pass everyone starts realising it. But as quoted few tries hard to get the loss back but very few will be successful.

Fun, when I started into Bitcoin a site I frequented started accepting Bitcoin very recently and made it their top post looking at the idea I became curious and read the whitepaper which got me into it because of how eloquently it was written and explained. It made sense and the beauty of the mechanism inspired me to look into it, Bitcoin was onto something and at the time I was rewarded for it because this was the 2013 rally and I saw my assets triple during the rise. Of course from then on I was in the green to today and decided to involve myself in the background in Bitcoin related fields which are starting to bloom.

The inverse was of course that the rally of 2013 was due to good old Gox running the first fractional Bitcoin reserve and was the scams of the day then there were the classics like inputs.io, mintpal or bitfunder which artificially bumped the price but as the infrastructure and networks grew legitimate investment appeared and Bitcoin far exceeded those depressions and crisis's and that brings us to the present.

I have seen the accidental fork resolve itself back in the day but the split that we are seeing today is one of the more complex issues of the times where we will move from here is fascinating as the debate moves between asset class vs transaction mechanism. Of course it provides an opportunity to really let the Alt-coins shine.

How Bitcoin will move from here will hopefully not let us but ideally makes us happy as a community and meets our expectations regardless of how rocky the road is to get there if it means we split the path then perhaps we will just begin a new chapter.

When i first started bitcoin it was rough and very frustrating cause all i know on how to earn was only through faucets and that's how im earning in bitcoin, i tried it for several months then i finally realize that. This is tiring
Then ive search for some other methods in the world wide web on how to earn bitcoin and discovered cloud mining services then got scammed several times and finally im here. Yeah i know my life is hard in bitcoin.
