Title: Poll - When did you get involved into bitcoin?
Post by: knight22 on September 05, 2012, 07:38:22 PM
What I mean by involve is when you though "OK I'm jumping into it!" in time or money.

I might recommend you do this poll as:
1) Pre-2010
2) Pre-2011
3) Q1 2011
4) Q2 2011
5) Q3 2011
6) Q4 2011
7) Q1 2012
8) Q2 2012
9) Q3 2012

If you're going to go price specific it might be better to categorize by:
1) Pre $1
2) Post $1 but Pre $30
3) Post $30 but before January 2012
4) Since January 2012 but Pre Pirate bust
5) Post Pirate bust

I jumped in July of 2011 as it was coming down from $17.

I had played around with it and joined the board about a year earlier. Tried to run the mining software on my laptop and it crashed so I stopped trying.

There is a long time between the beginning and the 2011 bubble....

I think people remember events better than dates...

I joined in April of 2011 when bitcoin was 0.7 cents :(

I mean, the :( is because then I bought only 5 bitcoins... :(


Even post-bubble after it went down to 5, I was still wanting to hit my head on a wall for not buying more bitcoins for 0.7
