Topic: Your help appreciated - what was it that HOOKED you on Bitcoin? (Read 1014 times)
In the pre-bitcoin era, it was impossible to move money from A to B no matter the distance, in a cheap and fast way. It clicked instantly and realized the infinite value of such a thing, considering most people in this planet are not part of the banking economy. People now can become their own bank with an SMS phone. This alone is enough to get it going in the trillions for a marketcap once things are more mature.

What hooked me into bitcoins is the income opportunity. Before i discover bitcoins i only rely on my salary and i dont have any income aside from that. My life is also boring even doing things in the internet doesnt entertain me. But when i met bitcoins i become addicted and i also gain some income opportunities that helped me solve my financial shortages in budgeting daily needs.

Probably the ease of conducting transactions, There are plenty of economical restrictions on my country and even a CC can't be obtained, I was using some online money processors like PerfectMoney and came across bitcoin, using it ever since.

I have PayPal but couldn't upload funds because i didn't have credit card or bank account at that time so buying anything from overseas and sending funds were not possible.I learnt about bitcoin and realized it is the solution to my many problems

I heard about bitcoin a year ago but I was not really interested as I do not believe on earning online. Then my friends were like always talking about it and then I give it a try. I was fascinated with the value like a 100k satoshi is equals to a dollar or something and that it really gives you real money. Then I was hooked with it as I really need some extra income since I have no job.

The only thing that hooked me to bitcoin is the potential. Bitcoin has the potential to go up to $5k in future and that is the reason why I am just storing my earning and not spending it.
I believe that being a pioneer in crypto currency industry, bitcoin can go up to that level and I it will help me to make few of my dreams come true. Waiting for that day!

When did you realize that Bitcoin was truly "legitimate" and could revolutionize the way the world transacts and conducts day-to-day business?
What was the moment where all of the pieces fell into place for you? Obviously, there are always new things to learn - but what was it that HOOKED you?
Your responses are very helpful, and very much appreciated. THANK YOU!

That was one year ago,when i received a bitcoin payment for my online service.
Back then,i realized that i can use bitcoin as a payment method and btc can be more convenient for me.
Later i joined this forum and i was already hooked.

during 2015 i was searching on the web i found something interesting called bitcoin and started learning on that ,it was very user friendly like owning the wallet and transaction, it is easier to convert to fiat also and now it is popular among all crypto currencies.

Probably watching the community and seeing Bitcoin be fairly resilient after everything that has happened with/to it are some big factors when it comes down to it, and then the opportunity to make some additional money is probably what really ended up driving me towards Bitcoin, and then actually seeing some of that money being realized and getting decent money back for my time probably helped me to stick with it, my hook if you will.

Cause by the implementation of the bitcoin technology, the independence of bitcoin from institution or organization and stand alone. The freedom of the human payments.

As the months go on, Im becoming increasingly supportive of a currency that is not controlled by a state government. Governments have so much power over the value of their currency, and one decision can completely change how much your money is worth. The fact that btc is decentralized means that the demand for it is primarily the deciding factor on how much it is worth, not what dumb decisions goverments make
I love the fact that the market determines the asking price for the currency. The flow is pre-determined and independent of all international monetary agencies.
Thanks for letting us know!

What got me hooked was the idea, the concept of a free (as in freedom of speech) currency and ledger.
What got me unhooked was the horrible implementation, lack of privacy, lack of capacity, lack of development, bad economic model, use of outdated crypto and more, maybe worse of all, an extremely toxic and greedy community.

Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you consider yourself unhooked.
Do you have another cryptocurrency that you prefer now? There are certainly many innovative currencies on the market!

Time from when i started to like how bitcoin works is hard for me to remember but after doing few transactions in early days i like the concept of bitcoin. From that time i am using bitcoin because in Nepal paypal like payment processor doesn't operate as well as our banks don't distribute globally accepted visa/mastercard credit cards. So for me bitcoin has become only option to do international transactions as well as concept of decentralization make it more secure.
This is great to hear! Access is very important and a core feature of Bitcoin. The unbanked are a huge population.
Do you mind if I ask what kinds of products/services you've bought from Nepal? Or do you use it mostly for money transfers to friends/family/etc abroad? Thank you!

Thanks for the response! For sure, the fact a simple "token" that is traded peer-to-peer was able to attain such a large amount of value - volatile or not - and for such a long period of time, just goes to show how powerful the technology is.
The beauty is in it's simplicity. There are a lot of complicated things happening behind the scenes to secure/build on the network but the function of Bitcoin itself is very straightforward.

What made Bitcoin interesting and got me so hooked is its ability to change its price die to its volatility. One day you have a Bitcoin worth $576 next day is a new day and it may jump to $590 or give you an instant loss if it drops to $550. It may not be accepted by a lot of merchants for now but Bitcoin have potential of making it big in few years to come.
