Did you have any specific reason why you didn't like it before though? I find a lot of people who are against aren't really against Bitcoin, and what it stands for instead they're afraid of adopting a new system which in a lot of ways is quite a bit different to what they're used too. Plus, is probably more complex to learn, and the idea of being your own bank isn't exactly for everyone.

Quite a lot of Bitcoin users are here because they've been shafted or at least unhappy with our their bank has handled a certain situation. I'm not exactly here because of that, but it contributed to me believing in Bitcoin after having a few issues with banks. Honestly, the major issues I had with banks is they didn't like purchasing or withdrawing Bitcoin, which I felt was a breach of my freedom considering its suppose to be my money.

Yes, that is why people hate and do not want to invest in bitcoin.
It is like what I suggested to a friend a few years ago.
He refused to follow me to invest in bitcoin because he thinks that bitcoin is not real, he can not touch and see the form of bitcoin but it existed from a long time ago.
You made a good decision to invest in bitcoin and leave your job so I hope that you will get something better than your last job and I am sure you will have a chance to have revenue from crypto.
You are now have your own choice so we hope that you be careful in investing in crypto.

Most of the people I know that started to own Bitcoin or started using Bitcoin are just because they thought some "easy money", I'm glad that you really appreciate the use of Bitcoin.
I have a question also that from you as a former banker and now a pro-Bitcoin supporter, what are some problems you encounter or most of the people encounter from using banks that Bitcoin can handle?

I am a person who has an idealistic nature by nature, and because of this trait when I am at a point where I have fiat and the bank is behind me, I feel very comfortable (at that time).
and then when bitcoin came around and it started to get crowded I felt this was something that wasn't right because my presumption was how it was possible for something that didn't exist to have value and I didn't accept that at first.

when this happens, maybe until now I am still struggling with a monotonous life with finances that will indeed be regulated by the government and banks, although indirectly but in my opinion it is the same as financial arrangements there.
but after I feel that things like this will gradually erode especially with the advancement of automatic technology, people will think again in choosing and managing finances, so when someone can open their mind I think the best choice is bitcoin when comparing it to fiat.

although in perspective this is true but actually this is something wrong in my opinion
because what I believe until now there is nothing easy in investing and there is always a risk in it that's why when I say bitcoin is the easiest thing to get money I don't really agree with that because, while being here (1 year) it is not easy to understanding how the system is in bitcoin, let alone to analyze it, requires a continuous process in my opinion.
As for the problems that can be handled by bitcoin but cannot be handled by banks, the clearest thing so far that I have encountered is the ease of transactions because indeed with the current p2p system I feel very comfortable with it even though I don't know who the person is (anonymity) but there is no doubt even in the existing and clear transactions without any intermediaries in it so that we can arrange as we want

actually reflecting from my experience in the field of bankers and people who initially rejected bitcoin actually there were clear reasons and at least it could be a strong enough reason why they hated bitcoin, because basically the system which is bitcoin has a different system from banks and can even be said to be the opposite. from the bank itself and this makes people who like fiat will indirectly feel a threat and of course they will not like this. because at first I was like that because I haven't felt the benefits and haven't been in the scope so no matter what it looks like in it, I will still call this something that cannot be used as an asset for investment.
this is what will be felt first for people who reject bitcoin. they are too comfortable with the old system that when the new system is born they don't want to deal with it.


not surprising indeed because I thought that way last year
But indeed, if you look at it now, we can't just leave bitcoin and like it or not we also have to get to know this sophisticated creation regardless of whether or not we want to invest later we can't just get rid of bitcoin at this time.
and maybe for people who still refuse with the reason bitcoin is a scam, they should open their eyes wide now

I will start from leaving your job because of bitcoin, you won't have leave your job because of it because it is a digital currency that can operate at your convenient time, before you leave any thing think of the good and bad involve,

For you to be against bitcoin you have any reason of doing that but because you don't no about it, because you about bitcoin then very well won't have condemn it,  you would have make research of bitcoin and check if is good to follow with. You back now because you have seen people progressing over bitcoin, kudos for you coming back to digital currency

What do you mean, they are against bitcoin but they own it? If that's what you mean, it's like what I've been thinking lately. Could it be that they are afraid of bitcoin getting rid of something they control?
Apart from that I am very lucky to have known bitcoin, even now it is one of the assets I hold. And I agree bitcoin is unsettling, for those who don't own it

Of course, this can't be done easily because when I was originally here I even made something in the wrong place because I'm not used to it because I found this forum as a result of accidentally seeing a video made by one of the YouTube accounts named steam time and maybe you can see my first post there if you are interested even though there are some warnings from other members there.

and yes, it took several previews to make a reply for me, fortunately in the Steam Tyme video it is also explained how to reply correctly.
when you say no luck I think you are overreacting my friend.

to reply to the video tutorial, it's clear here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NHfaViknzM

I think you did the right thing
And for now it's true when talking about bitcoin maybe in some areas it will still be referred to as strange and even tend to be seen as something negative because they never really feel the true benefits of bitcoin because they don't own it.
that's a pretty reasonable thing. it will be different when they have bitcoin and already feel the benefits. they will certainly change their view of bitcoin

I think at the end of the day it's just lack of education. The lack of education stirs up the fake rumors and make people believe that anything new, anything non traditional is going to be disappointing, most of the people also hate the fact that now the prices are too high to make an investment so therefore they try and invest in other Altcoins, then they end up following people like Elon Musk and sometimes end up getting scammed as well.

I don't think that anyone would be against bitcoins if they would own it, if someone is seeing constant growth and profits I don't think they would be against anything for that matters. It's all about non traditional forms of investments now, that's what's gonna get everyone out of the economic collapse, that's long due, because of the pandemic.
