1. Invest in BTC in the middle of 2015. Start to read forum without registration, because you don't need to register for few russian boards.
2. Then sometimes you should go to english board, and check for competitions and other things. Then "OMG THEY GIVE 0.0048 BTC JUST FOR REGISTRATION REAL EASY MONEY, JESUS CHRIST MUST GET THIS MONEY"
3. Calls your friends to this share and loose this money, because to withdraw 0.0048 you need to wagger amount of 0.2 BTC in shitty binary options :0

Your friends consider it's as a scam and left the forum (they don't interested in another ponzie calls "bitcoin")
4. After that, keep reading forum until the moment you'll realize that you can participate in signature campaigns like Bitmixer.IO, Yobit and another. Start to write something.
5. Campaigns become much more profitable, like Iconomi (where people were paid near 1 BTC for signature) and you again calls your friends, like "Guys, it's time to make money

). They answering something like "No, this is hype, leave us with your shitty ideas"
6. Spring of 2017, campaigns become HIGHLY AS GOD'S TITS profitable, it's easy to make 2 BTC in every shit campaign. And price of BTC is growing very fast. Now, you don't call your friends (stupid people must starve), but now, it's they see that you've have large amount of money. Beautiful girls, cool food and drinks, pussy juice on rear seats and other proofs that you're awesome pimp motherfucker.
And they began to write on forum.
Dude, I totally agree with your statements, every thing you explained here looks like real too me, because I too have experienced somewhat same of an journey here, rolling up on bounties and shit in the bull run. I even don't think you are untrustworthy or deserve a negative tag or something.
I see your story totally fit to what has happed, I just wish you good luck. I am out.
