I'm a new user on this forum, and when I joined and actively read and learned about Bitcoin, I finally realized and was enlightened, even regretting it.
I want to share my experience. Whether someone has already discussed it on this forum or not, I don't understand it. I'm not promoting anything, just sharing my experience. Between 2009 and 2011, I was actively surfing the internet on public internet services. At that time, during the early days of Bitcoin's launch, there were many faucet websites giving away Bitcoin, and I was one of those who received it. At the time, I was also very young and didn't understand what investing, let alone Bitcoin, was. So, I ended up exchanging the Bitcoins I collected, whether from referrals or websites, on Gemscool, an online gaming website, due to my lack of understanding of investing at the time.
A lot of mistakes have been made by many in the past when it comes to them first hearing about bitcoin or having received it in their early days and sold for smaller amount without them knowing the potential benefits of it they would have gotten overtime which is really happening now. Bitcoin is a very powerful technology that many looked down on, but I’m not surprised as that’s the nature of humans and until many of this newly invented technology started booming, are we going to see them rushing it back and having stories of regret to tell about it and who they didn’t join earlier.
The Bitcoin mechanism is very simple but hard to trust, just invest an amount you don’t wanna use now for some couple of years and then safeguard your seed phrase. Come back after some years and take your partial or full profits. It is as simple as that but very hard to abide by. It is regretting to have that opportunity to own some bitcoins then and sold them off. Some of us heard about it and didn’t bother to invest because we thought it was scam. Nevertheless now that we’ve realised what it is all about and glad to say we’ve also embraced it for long term success of it.
