Hey friends, question time! I am keen to know what is the ultimate reason that you got into Bitcoin? Is it for financial gain? Freedom of control? What is your ultimate reason? 💜 #bitcoin

I came for financial gain and stayed for freedom.
Moi c'est pour la liberté 🗽
I guess we all have be fighting for freedom of control for long and all of a sudden Cryptocurrency came up( Bitcoin ), and we finally fined out that #Bitcoin gives you control over your assets , which is the freedom of control we have be fighting for, and now it is in our hands which we have control over now. #Bitcoin Is the future
I use it to pay a few bills, otherwise honestly I don't see it doing the things that people think it will here, but that's just me. :) I like being wrong, as well. It's a learning experience.
Individual responsibility and freedom. I don’t want to be dependent on anything for the happiness/survival of my family. Dependence = control.
It’s exciting from a technological point of view, to be able to transact, without a trusted third party. It gives you the feeling that you are in control. And the community here is very warm 💜😍
For the make money part, it would be good. 😅😅 but I don’t think this will happen in our lifetime - for all the people that bought bitcoin after December 2018.
Number go up got me here. stayed for my ₿asic understanding of supply and demand. Ultimately it is the community now. People who question and have divergent thoughts are rare in society yet they flourish in ₿itcoin.
To take the power from the government and make decisions and live how I see fit without threat of asset forfeiture.
Initially I was looking for a way to protect my savings from inflation. As I started to read about bitcoin in 2018 I was attracted to the decentralization and sovereignty dimensions, as well as the 21m hard cap.
By 2019, the bitcoin subreddit linked to an article by the IMF where they suggested implementing CBDC's, negative interest rates on savings accounts combined with voicing a keen intent in getting rid of cash.
Then as 2020 came along, we had full-blown government authoritarianism starting with lockdowns, mask mandates, culminating in forced injection mandates, movement licenses , restrictions and discrimination of us unvaccinated.
Later there was the Canadian trucker convoy whose protesters stood up against the forced vaccinations and had their accounts frozen for defending individual liberties. Bitcoin was the only funding that could reach them.
Bitcoin is a tool for liberty. It is neutral money that can't be corrupted by authoritarian governments. Prosperity is downstream from liberty; without freedom nothing else matters.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing 🫂
I entered college in 2008, by the end of my time there in not only studied software engineering, but had read large amounts of Austrian economics. Bitcoin was just obvious to me when I found it.
