My journey so far in this forum has been an amazing experience, both in terms of knowledge and financial rewards, I don't have any regrets about joining this forum. My day is never complete without browsing through this amazing forum and having something meaningful to post, there is always something to contribute, research, learn, share experiences and learn from other members knowledge and experiences. I've been in the forum for approximately 2 years and in this period I've greatly increased my crypto knowledge and have gained experience in different aspects of economics and politics. Signature campaign earnings have significantly supported my finances including Bitcoin investment.

In less than two years on the forum, I can attest to the fact that this is part of the greatest thing that has happened to me because it has affected me in literally all aspects of my life. One thing about the forum is that it is hard to stay on the forum for months without having a shift of mentality on investment and personal development goals. I came in with little knowledge of crypto and was just getting started in the tech space, but by constantly rubbing minds with like minds and experienced investors and seeing people that have long-term plans in view while making their decisions, I have learned to plan not just for the present but for the future.

started without a single bitcoin stack but currently has some chunk of it, relied on the conventional banking system for saving my money but have known better to hold in bitcoin rather than in fiat, investment has now made a lot of sense to me and even outside of bitcoin investment and bitcointalk, i am a better person financially.

If I hadn't joined this forum, I would never have gained confidence in Bitcoin even if I had heard about it. I have seen that there are many people I know who are still afraid to invest in Bitcoin, thinking that they will lose their money by investing here, but in reality it is completely different. Bitcoin investment will definitely be difficult for those who have less knowledge or who have not yet gained sufficient knowledge. However, after coming to Bitcointalk, my knowledge has developed a lot. Where others cannot trust Bitcoin, I am only trying to grow my Bitcoin portfolio. I know that even if Bitcoin cannot give me anything in the short term, it will play a significant role in fulfilling my dreams in the long term. Above all, Bitcoin and the Bitcointalk forum both are important to me.

Since joining this forum, I have personally been able to gain a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and Bitcoin investing and have been able to do a lot of research, this was the biggest thing for me because before that it would never have been possible to earn proper knowledge about Bitcoin before. It may be true that Bitcoin investment may change life if everyone is able to prolong it for a long time, ie 4-7 years. Below are my achievements by joining this extensive forum and investing in Bitcoin.

• First of all I was able to bear all my wedding expenses from here.
• Secondly, it was also possible to fulfill my dreams and help with the family business.

Yeah I agree. Anyone who has been on the forum for up to a year is a beneficiary of the forum whether they wear a signature or not. The benefits of being a member of bitcointalk goes beyond the incentives of signature campaigns and bounties, the knowledge that is being shared here is worth more and if used in the right way can set you up for success in life.

I signed up in 2014, so that's over 10 years of having an account on the forum, although I haven't been active in all those years. I've had two major inactivity periods, both of which I regret. As @irhact mentioned, it's impossible for someone to be in the forum for so long and not achieve something. I've been active for the past four years if I'm not mistaken, and it's been a blessing. I'm not going to say any numbers etc, although Bitcoin is not really anonymous, but I've always asked myself how things could have gone differently if I hadn't give up on Bitcoin in 2018 to 2019.

Bitcoin and this forum has helped me be financially more independent, while providing me with the security of having a decent sum of money aside, which acts as an investment, similar to DCAing.

Holding bitcoin is a long term method to increase your total exchangeable amount of money. This works nicely when you are adding to the stock every few months when the bitcoin price drops in terms of its fiat value.

I do suggest most new traders to not go into day trading but stick to long term holding, with emphasis on the fact that the unrealistic richs should never be the goal for any bitcoin user. It might make you rich but that should not be the long term goal.

With time the experience is enough to state these things with conviction.

Hodling + stable source of work and funds.

The ultimate combo for those wanting to start their journey

•Have bought my own 4 cars because of crypto and most of these cars came from bounty campaign ICO days and with some doublers in the past. 
•Learned about phishing,ponzi,scams around
•Knows about some little knowledge on technical aspects on how crypto works
•Made out some bit of connections with other members here on this forum
•Learn all the possible things that I do able to learn in connection with crypto on which this forum do gives out with that.

Not all does have the patience on holding up their coins for so long and thats why at the moment that they have hit up their profit threshold then they do sell out their coins.
We cant be able to deny the fact that on the moment that we do sell our coins then we do able to gain fiat and if we do have some plans about on having some traditional business
or neither wanting to buy something then we will be still needing up that fiat and thats why you will be considering on selling it out.
