I happened to come to this opportunity through a friend of mine. At first, I did not trust bitcoin, because I had heard a lot of bad news about it. But what I believed was my friend, and then I began to find out, and I found it wonderful, not everyone understood. I started investing in bitcoin with a small amount of money, gradually accruing, and hoping in the future I have more money to invest in it.

Cool story! Did you hear that it was a scam or that it was used for bad business ? Also what is your goal right now ? Retirement funds, extra money or just investing and see where it goes ?

PS. I will ask a moderator to close this thread if there are people who genuinely think its spammy. Im here to contribute and not to spam. Just let me know through the comments.

Do not hesistate to post a reply to a thread consciously even if it is negative or positive reply. As long as you are not sounding stupid and in line with the topic then you werr good to go. There should be nothing to worry about even to those high ranks because they were once a newbie here also before. I know that we could be intimidated sometimes because higher ranks are knowledgeable in this forum but it doesn't mean that newbie's are not. It is just they had gone here first in the forum and we could learn it after some time.

Thanks for this, I was definetly put off by his reaction on my thread. I opened it with the best intentions. And yeah its always like that if your starting out on a forum. I wont hold back in any case.

As for me, I happened to be Googling the search term "How to make money fast" back then about 10 years ago and Bitcoin mining was in the list. But of course, at that point, cryptocurrency being new, I was quite skeptical about it and wasn't really into it. Years down the road, I met a friend at work and he was already into mining at an early stage when crypto was introduced. Only then, I started to actually trust this whole crypto thing and read more about it.
However, by then, the price was quite high and I patiently waited for the price to drop but unfortunately it didn't. So, pretty much that's how I got into crypto, bought fractions of it here and there.

But never really kept up with after the first hard fork last year. So, hopefully this forum might enlighten me as I get back to it.

Damn thats nice, so you actually started out mining instead of investing ? When you want it to drop it never does and vice versa haha. So what are you looking for now then ? To get back in the mining game or are you more looking to invest, trade and hodl for a bit ?
