It's been quite some time since I earned my first Bitcoin. It's the result of my efforts in crypto, as well as here on Bitcointalk. Around 2017, I invested my Bitcoin into a specific currency because I believe it will be successful in the long run. The idea was really promising, and I conducted some research, but sadly, the project turned out to be a fraud. That was the first and last time of having Bitcoin. I learned a lot from it, and I'm still hope to return there soon.
These so-called "promising" projects are always taking people's hard-earned money by giving them hopes of great returns in the long or short run and people think that they've got themselves into something amazing and their life is going to become easier after they make this investment while in reality, they are working for their own future instead of their investors and soon enough when they got enough money, they will disappear like thin air.
However, we've all been there and have been victims of such things when we first got into Bitcoin because we didn't have enough knowledge and understanding of how things work and to be honest, at some point as a newbie or a beginner, we used to think that it is easy to earn a lot of money through Bitcoin.
That's the difference between bitcoin and altcoins. In fact, bitcoin was not created as a profit-making project like altcoins, bitcoin is a peer-to-peer currency project that aims to give us freedom from government control. Meanwhile, bitcoin-copying altcoins have created projects aimed at profit, so we should not be surprised to see that most altcoins are scam projects. But thanks to altcoins, we know which projects are worth investing in, and bitcoin is unique.
Not only newbies, but even us, long-time investors, are thinking about making a lot of money from bitcoin. If it weren't for the huge profits that bitcoin can bring, I don't believe many people would still be here today. Investing in bitcoin means we want to make a lot of money, want to make money quickly compared to other traditional assets.
Bitcoin is a new technological development that not many people use. until finally the opportunity arises to make a lot of profit by joining it. However, there are also many people who dream of something beautiful from Bitcoin, but they don't take into account the risks until in the end they get the opposite result. therefore we have to be smart people so we can respond to Bitcoin's movements to be able to follow its price movements, until finally the luck we have planned comes.
