Hi Bitcoiner! Me here again 👀, in this case I'd like to share a little story along with personal reflections regarding Bitcoin 👍🏻
As I mentioned in a previous post, I came to Bitcoin looking for alternatives to earn money digitally. In search of solutions because formal and even informal employment was being severely affected by the country's economic situation and hyper inflation.
This search that began with "how to make money on PayPal online" led me to the proposal to accept BTC as a means of payment and many known platforms to get satoshis constantly by investing time.
While I was very excited about the ecosystem that is discovering I also noticed many applications and solutions that Bitcoin offers in real life, so it is a pleasure to share with you this brief story.
First, it was a better alternative than my country's national currency as a method of payment and savings, even over time I learned that it is better even than USD and the traditional banking system.
Second, the freedom that Bitcoin offers sometimes scares me... I wonder what a future without paying taxes to the state would be like, because since I started I have never created a bank account. The opportunities for development and growth in the Bitcoin ecosystem are incredible and it empowers its users by helping us create value without the need for traditional banking.
Third, I found it amazing and interesting how miners benefit by auditing the BTC blockchain network and the transactions that are made on the network, with a basic notion I could understand that it has a real backing like the trust of its community, the technology behind it and of course, mining BTC requires natural resources and it is one of the arguments I always use with people who want to start in Cryptocurrencies but do not understand the value behind Bitcoin; natural resources like electricity and mining equipment, I don't think a miner will sell BTC for less than what it costs him to produce it.
There are many things we could share here and I would like to know your opinions and experiences 🙂 a lot of things have happened since the launch of BTC and there are many users who have had unforgettable moments with this ecosystem.
Finally, my first payment in BTC was in 2016, I remember it was 20,000 sats and at that time it was like 0.30$. I remember I could never withdraw them from my wallet because of the network commission but in the end it taught me how its value has grown over time; since then I try to learn more and more and try to accumulate BTC for the future. My dream is a self-sufficient future, producing our own food and exchange currency.
I hope you found my brief experience interesting or funny, it will be an honor to hear yours and advice 😉. Now I say goodbye and I hope to greet you in a new occasion, I wish you an excellent day and much success in the Bitcoin world!
