Yes. I also knew about bitcoin from a forum too, I didn't actually put more attention to bitcoin until its price reached $1000. I returned back to the days of which the price were still $2 and got myself stunned thinking I could have got millions if I just saw the possibilities of it. I'm probably one of the huge guys with thousands of BTC if I just believe to the guys who knew the future.So I started to invest to BTC while its $200 after it. Didn't buy much but yes I worked as early as 2014 to buy myself some BTC.

Damn you were one of the early birds then. Thats cool man, I still kick myself that I wasnt one of those. You know through life, you become sceptical of get rich quick schemes, that sometimes the real opportunities pass you by. Are you still in Bitcoin ? And did you manage to get your hands on many of them? Just curious you might want to be carefull telling people how much you are actually holding. Also are you still working or having an early retirement now.

I came to know cryptocurrencies abou the year 2015. I was browsing through a nigerian blog www.nairaland.com and I saw a thread titled earn bitcoin though a faucet. So i chatted the creator of the thread an we hooked up on whatsapp where he just gave me the basics of creating a coinbase wallet and earning bitcoin through a faucet where you roll every hour to earn little satoshi.
I was persistant on the site for 3months where i earned about $4 which i was very happy. I started making more research on cryptocurrencies, how was it created, why was it created and its usage. One of the mistakes i made that time was not buying Ethereum when it was $13

Very cool story! Are you still using the faucet? If so which one is it ? Hats of to you sir that you made it work for yourself

I got interested when I read about the crash and a long term bear market that followed. I started to watch Bitcoin, because people were saying that it's in such a long term decline that it's not going to achieve anything. When it woke up and reversed in 2016 my first thought was to try it out, buy some while it's cheap. It was a great decision. Been a holder ever since.

Nice man, you are one of few that actually see through the smokescreen and buy when its low. A lot of people get put off by the FUD and just decide its dead only to buy it at its ATH. What do you think about the bearmarket now ? Are we seeing another year or is it going to reverse ?

A few months ago, I met my old friend and he told me about this opportunity, initially I did not believe it but later I realized this was the opportunity for me to change my life.

I can take only one good choice that might change your life. I hope this one is yours buddy!

I heard about Bitcoin for years. I think I even went to this forum long ago (never signed up). I couldn't wrap my head around it and never took the time to really learn and figure it all out. Fast forward about a year and half ago - I heard Mark Cuban was getting on board with some start up blockchain thing, Bitcoin was up in the thousands and I thought okay, I really need to figure out what this is about - there are too many people making a ton of money here.

So I invested like 6 months too late, lol. Shortly after the big China FUD happened and everything was down. Eventually we hit the massive bull run in Dec and I felt like a genius. Now everything is worth so so much less - but I'm not down any money. So now it has become a waiting game. I'm in it until this goes to zero or I can be one of the ones that "made it"

Yeah im basicly at the same point. Or I go down with the ship or we set sail to new ATHs. Eather way im in it to win it. So what time did you actually get in ? You say after the big China FUD so I think around last year september than ?

My economic teacher took me here. He told me a lots this great world and I decide to learn about it. Not invest yet, i am still learning about cryptocurrency and will join soon.

He is a great mind to put you on this track. Always do your own research though. What are exactly still learning about ? And If I may give you one tip; check out https://crypthena.com/. It may help you find what you are looking for.
