I think that most of us had been scammed in some way during our early days in Bitcoin. Cloud mining schemes were the usual among scammers, making us believe that we would make profit within a short amount of time.

In addition, there were some ICOs that turned out to become a scam, as well as the infamous Paycoin cryptocurrency by Garza. This last one made me lose a lot of money, but thanks to the lessons learned, I have avoided these schemes as much as possible.

Nevertheless, we should always be vary of the risks underlying Bitcoin to increase our experiences within it for the long term. Just my thoughts. 

It was between 2009 and 2010, first time I got the internet and registered on facebook, I'm pretty sure there was a game where I could buy some stuff via bitcoin, not sure how much does it cost but anyway, so I did some jobs as "free rewards" and got some bitcoin. Since then I haven't heard about them for next 4 years (wasn't actually interested).
In 2014 friend got 0.5$ worth bitcoin on some faucet site, and gambled on satoshimines, he got lucky and withdraw around 100$ so I also got interested.
Since then I started to explore more about bitcoin and now altcoins.

When I first started using bitcoin I was really clueless,
I don't really know what to do on how to receive how to send and how will I earn,
Then I found out a group where they post every link where you could earn satoshi for free and some HYIP that you could invest in.

My experiences in bitcoin when I started it was really great,
I watch some video to learn how to use the online wallet and it turns out to be great,
I earn some in Faucet and tried to invest it in a HYIP and earn some satoshi I earn a decent amount of money through it.

You are lucky because you earn a few bitcoins in faucet as well as in high yield investment programs because back in the day when i was keep investing into hyips i will always end up losing money and getting scam time to time so i just give up and start trading which is the main source of my bitcoins as of now.

Agree. Bitcoin is the best investment that you could make nowadays. It well serves this purpose, as it is scarce and continuously expands in price over time. With Bitcoin, you can earn it just like fiat currency, only a lot better, because it gives you complete freedom over your money and it is easy enough to carry anywhere like storing it in a USB drive or even a paper wallet, unlike physical fiat currency.

Nevertheless, as we introduce more people into Bitcoin, we're helping our society to evolve in a point where no cash would be needed in the future. It will be a cashless society where people transact in Bitcoin, altcoins, or even digital currencies issued by governments. Just my opinion. 

I heard about it in another forum and some guy said he was making a living trading it and that it was anonymous. This was 2013.  I have a finance background so I jumped on it.  It was $75 back then.

I felt the same, with one more addition I thought that I can make millions on faucets. Yes they are waste of time, but now I often think if I didn`t stop to use them and to put all that faucet coins in one wallet how much would I have now in dollars? Bitcoin price went so high, I didn`t expect such rise in so short time, I cashed out so many times, I would probably have more then 10 btc now ( which is more then $10k ).
From the moment I heard about bitcoin I`m active, in more then year I`m here earning and gambling almost every day, in all this time I didn`t do that only a few days.

Similar stuff. I found out about bitcoin in 2010, decided it was a neat idea but had no potential, and went on with my life. The late 2014/2015s roll around and I find myself realizing that the price is now in the hundreds. Definitely one of the things I regret the most, but I'm still happy that I got in the game relatively quickly.

I experience it here in campaign. I earn bitcoin here in campaign it is because that my brother teach me to do it so that I can also earn like him. He also teaches me how to double it so that I can earn online but it is also risky to do it. So I do it occasionally.
