I see how some newbies are complaining about not having enough money to invest in Bitcoin, some times not having money is a blessing in the crypto space, if I had money years ago when I knew about crypto I would have made all the possible mistakes in the book, and that would have cost me a lot.
I had no access to money when I knew about Bitcoin, I had the desire to acquire many Bitcoin but I have no way, instead of moving on with my life I kept myself busy, reading and reading about Bitcoin, installed my first Bitcoin wallet on a Pentium 4 PC, I knew about Proof of work, I tried mining for the first time using a dual-core PC ( second PC ), if I have enough money to invest I wouldn't have had time for all this learning.
I got so calm, because what is there to rush about? I have no money anyways, since that time learning became my first priority.
If you don't have the money yet, maybe because you are jobless or still in school, do not let that be the reason to be out of Bitcoin, there is more you can learn that will help you in your crypto journey.
Money is coming, but be prepared by learning about Bitcoin, you will be in safer hands with the knowledge you would have acquired.
That's so true! Not having enough money can actually be a good thing because it teaches us to be strong and focus on doing things that matter. I think you did an amazing job by installing that wallet and starting to mine Bitcoin on that old computer.
I'm guessing you either held onto those mined Bitcoins for a while or sold them when the price went up to $100, but either way, it's great that you shared your story with us. It really helps new Bitcoin fans understand how things used to be and how far we've come.
