I got my first bitcoins exactly 2 years and 1 day ago.
I actually celebrated my bitcoin birthday yesterday.
I actually forgot to tell why I got into bitcoin.
Well, I heard about it somewhere around 2012 but thought it was funny money.
I read some news items about bitcoin a few times and still thought it was funny money.
Then early 2013
I read a news article about Mega.co.nz accepting bitcoin for payments.
I took exactly 10 days to read everything about bitcoin and become convinced and bought some (CHEAP!) coins.
Since then it's all unicorns
Ohh.... So you are one of those who found it earl
iey No, I found it in 2013, four years too late.
and made a lot of money...
Define money.
Bitcoin, gold and oil you can call money.
Dollars and euro's are currency.
If you read carefully I only bought and never really sold.
You can call me a bag holder.
I'm not in this game to 'make money'. I'm in this game to spend it sometimes, for real stuff like goods and services.
Or do you want to kill yourself because you did not buy enough and sold at 1k$+ in Dec 2013.
No, I hate fiat and try to convert as much of it into bitcoin and hope to never have to deal with euros ever again in my life.
That's my goal.
All people who 'invest' in bitcoin to earn dollars or euros are a bunch of morons in my opinion.
Yes, i did trade some, but only to get more bitcoins.
The moment I got rid of some coins was when I spent them on goods (beer/food/electronics).
I do not regret that I spent them, I made sure that I bought them back the next day for stinking fiat.
Bitcoin will never become worthless for me because it learned me the most important lessons of my life.
It doesn't matter if someone is willing to trade them for goods and services one day, I already got some priceless knowledge due to bitcoin.
