When was the first time you bought Bitcoin?
I bought it around November 2013, at a price of 5,000 yuan.
It was on a website called Bitcoin China.
I had no money at the time, so I only bought one Bitcoin.
It later increased in value a bit, so I sold it and made 100 yuan.
After that, I started trading altcoins on Bitcoin Era.
More than 90% of the people I traded altcoins with on Bitcoin Era have become broke. They disappeared.
Only a few skilled ones, like those who mine or trade quickly, made some money.
