My first contact with cryptocurrency was last year, when I saw a blackmail news about Bitcoin. I was very curious at that time, why would anyone want to use Bitcoin as a bargaining chip, and since then I have been paying attention to Bitcoin!

Its actually interesting to see how many people get in this space by some sort of spam email about it. How are things going for you ? You holding Bitcoin currently ?

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 ?

No, I didn't get into mining. My friend did. Knowing a friend doing mining and earning on a daily basis was what got me to trust this whole crypto indutry. I'm more into hodl and slight investing. But since the fork, I have not much idea how things have changed in the blockchain. At one point, Bitcoin was skyroccketting and then Ethereum came into the picture and then it all started to get confusing for me. So, I kinda stopped looking into crypto. But now, it looks like crypto is going to be a thing in the future somehow. There's Bitcoin ATMs around. So, I better get myself back on track with crypto news.

Cool, is your friend still mining and earning ? Yeah im more of a HODLer myself aswell, also dont really have the time to trade so yeah. Definetly man with Bakkt coming in december this is the best time to get back in. You got a game plan or just reading up on it for now ?
