My Story
I remember back in 2013, when I first heard of Bitcoins, they were about $100 per coin, and I spent 3 weeks trying to buy $2000 worth of them. Those same coins are now worth $60k. But the thing is, I sold them, traded them, lost them, and $10,000 worth of them were even stolen from my Mt Gox account back in 2014 - https://www.wired.com/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/
Those same 10 coins would be worth over $20,000 USD right now, so, yeah, it hurts a little, but not as bad, I would guess, as the guy who lost 20 million dollars in bitcoins during that hack. Yet, it was a hard pill to swallow.
Since being hacked out of all my bitcoins, sites have become more secure, and I have become more cautious and have secured some of my bitcoins offline in cold storage. I leave some online for trading purposes. I trust coinbase. I have verified my account with them, and I trust them with my credit card numbers, my bank account info, and even my social security number. My buy and sell limit is $50k per month. Like I said, I am verified. I know it can be a little overwhelming to find a company you can trust, believe me, I have been there.

Why We Are Not Millionaires
The reason neither of us are millionaires right now is trust. We didn't trust ourselves, we didn't trust the market, we don't know who to trust so we sit on our hands and we don't make a move, we don't take risks. We let's take some more risk. Let's not live this life wondering what if, and only if I had...
Buying Your First Coin - Who can you trust?
If you want to buy some bitcoins you can grab $10 free after buying $100USD coinbase with a debit or credit card in less than an hour.

Bitcoin QR Code App
If you want to send and receive bitcoins you will need to download a bitcoin wallet app.
Then you will get a cool looking QR code like this, this one is linked to one of my wallets, try it out.
The first step is to go ahead and download a bitcoin app. I would use Coinbase

Investing Bitcoins
I didn't know this until recently, but you can invest your bitcoins... not just hold onto them, but actually invest them and make significant returns. I joined a unique company last week that I would describe as crowdfunding meets bitcoin, yet with a twist. Imagine if Kickstarter and Bitcoin had a baby. I believe it would look like this company.
Its members have donated 153 BTC in the last 5 weeks.
Price Per Bitcoin as of May 23rd, 2017 was 2,217 per coin, so 153 BTC = $339,200 USD
Needless to say, I am beyond excited about the potential. If you are interested in learning how to invest and have a couple hundred dollars to get started and want to make several $1000, then start by watching the presentation, activate your account for ten bucks, and start investing to get on the path to making money with bitcoins.
While both of us may have missed the chance to become bitcoin millionaires, it doesn't mean we can't find success in investing even now.
