Future
What was the spark that made you take a serious look at getting into bc / crypto? I was a skeptic for a long time, brushing it off and off but I have come to realize this is the future. For me, it was seeing the possibilities with such technology and realizing the potential with all of this.

For a lot of people (myself included) we speculated buying for a long time and then saw that the price kept increasing. You can only have so many "I could have made x amount of money if I had actually done it!" before you cave in and buy at least a small amount.

For me it's the blockchain technology. I find it a great way to ensure transparency and decentralization. I think it's got a ways to go because it's a bit cumbersome and clunky but as with any technology it will grow and adapt.

Years ago i bought bitcoin for £30 a btc, it didn't go up, actually it dropped for the couple of months after i bought it and so i got fed up and sold and bought into the stock market and bullion. recently i checked the fucking btc price! i then spent a while learning about blockchain, and scrypt and the altcoins so i would understand cryptocurrency a bit better and although i'm currently down £1-1.5k on what i put in, as a result of china and fucking JP Morgan, i now believe in the coins i've bought, i'll buy more of them even tho they're down and although i regret selling the btc, i learnt a lesson in being patient and in the potential some of these coins have.
