I started using bitcoin about 3 months ago. At that time, i found bitcoin from an article and i tried to register an account in freebitco.in and coinbase. From that time, i played faucet and started to collect bitcoin.

my registration date, is when, you can notice my first posts where i ask everything about how mining and pool works, because it was the most beautiful aspect of bitcoin for me, now that i can't mine anymore, because it is worthless, i'm a bit sad

and the fact that even altcoin mining is useless makes me even more sad

I first heard of bitcoin in 2009, but didn't think much of it, back then the only mining option available was CPU mining , and the fact that it was impossible to use laptop i had while the
miner was running made me look the other way.
Almost 2 years after that, i heard about it again, and of the new GPU mining that was developed, and since i had some high end GPU cards, i decided to give it a go. It was the start of my GPU farm, which
later evolved into a mix of ASIC and GPU's.
I guess that's the reason why i started to use bitcoin, mainly for the profits, it was only after some time spend doing it that i realized just how much more the idea is worth over that.

cheers

I Started using bitcoin 1 year ago and I mainly used it for gambling purposes as I knew the fees of betting are least as compared to that we pay to middle men in the betting so I found it attractive and started using it.

I heard about it, dismissed it; I heard about it, dismissed it; I heard about it, dismissed it.
Then in early -mid 2013 at the finance company I work for, a customer requested a loan to buy bitcoin miners.
We assumed he was doing something shady, why else would he use bitcoin? Because mass media told us bitcoin was bad, you know...
Then I actually decided to look into it for myself.

The problem that bitcoin is facing at present is only because of the news spread by media which made us to think twice to get into bitcoins I started using 1 year back or else would have started much more earlier.

i started using bitcoin in 2014 about a year ago. it is around the same date i registered here.

but i have heard about bitcoin much longer before that. maybe around 2-3 years, around the time when everybody was doing solo mining and bitcoin price was skyrocketing through the roof.

the reason that i started using bitcoin was mostly because i liked the technology and idea behind it and also i find trading a great way to earn some extra money.

Bitcoin is 7 years old now and we started one year back we were very late go get into bitcoins. Just imagine if we would have invested at the time of its inception today it would be different stories for us.

I started using bitcoin few months before I opened the account here. I started using bitcoin because I was amazed by the price at that time (at $500-600) and I wondered that if I earned (and mined) 1 BTC online, I will get extra money to spend. Today I know that earning amd mining bitcoin isn't that easy at all.

I started using bitcoin in few months ago. My friend told me and describe what bitcoin is. When he was talking about it, I'm not interested until he told me that bitcoin could be used in gambling easier than fiat. Yes, this part made me interested. So, I was using it to gambling.  ;D  But now I just do gambling sometimes because I got many lost.  :D

I read in 2010 but at that time I was not financially stable to invest in Bitcoins but then I invested in Bitcoins in last year and I searched on the google regarding the advantages attached with the bitcoins and I was convinced that I should hold some bitcoins which could be helpful to me in the future.

Back in 2013, I heard BTC for the first time ever, in a mainstream online newsite. The headlines was something like "Underground deep web market functions under crypto currency made by mysterious creator". Needless to say it sounded pretty interesting. I started learning from there and became hooked.

Paypal is bullshit and lots of time consuming. When I was not aware of bitcoins everyone suggested me for paypal While opening a account there I found that the whole process to open an account was so time consuming and verifying bank account takes extra time so I just deleted that account and waited long till I became familiar to bitcoin.

Actuallt that is easy in earning bitcoin if you are not a big spender. Signature campaign pays you alot. Just in couple of months you can easily get 1 btc and mining is great too although it will take some time

Yes its true that bitcoin is using great technology and some of banks want to apply it to their system too but this is not a really solid investment,

because bitcoin price is volatile, although with that volatile you can earn more

I had been running on online business for many years and we had international sales on it, with a fair amount of scams and chargebacks internationally. I believe it was in 2013 I was chargeback/scammed one final time, and I was really pissed off about it. Paypal or Western Union were pretty much the only options, and WU was a pain to use and get customers to use, and Paypal ALWAYS sided with the scammers. I did some research to see if there was any new technology like a digital cash out there, and found there was something new called "Bitcoin," although it was mostly being used for underground activities at the time. I figured out how to buy 2 BTC to test it, I think they were around $85 each at the time. In a week I noticed they were worth twice as much! Then I became obsessed with what I still believe will be the replacement for Paypal and WU for international remittances and online digital cash world wide. It was like discovering the internet was coming before most anyone else. Still hooked!

i noticed the bitcoin when it borns, and since that i tried to
mine something, but i was a poor student, i hadn't enough
money to buy high end gpu ( those days that you can mine
with GPU), so i left it for a while, nowadays i pick it up again
because i've got job and wanna invert this instead of the capital.

i am interested in bitcoin because its freedom spirit, you have
to know this is the real valuable thing !!

Around April/May 2014 & the reason - A wealthy client (early adopter) was telling me about bitcoin for quite a while & explaining how great an investment it is for the future & how I should get involved.
I read up on bitcoin for a few months, argued for & against it to myself & eventually (April/May 2014) I thought **** it & started investing. I've been buying & HODLING ever since. My main reason for getting involved in bitcoin is to try & make a lot of money from it obviously, I'm not going to lie & say 'yeahhhh fight against banks etc', I just want to make money & lots of it ;D

Yeah actually I started in 2014 and the main reason to use bitcoins was to use it for gambling as it is decentralised so it is a secret and no one is aware that you are gambling and it attracted me more to the bitcoins but I didn't make a good profit out of it so I diverted myself to the signature campaigns.

The question that made me recall back to when I started in bitcoin and that was 2 years ago but seems like yesterday needess to say time flies.

Why... I started bitcoin because a friend was using it to buy some gadgets from the dark markets and when I see the power of it and what it could do I had to jump aboard.

Yes and some of the advantages that bitcoin holds fiat doesn't hold that advantages and it is most convenient at present for the online transfers and it is hassle free and the best way to transfer money in short span of time.

that is the right thing to do. Buy bitcoins in a bunch and keep it safe for the future and sell it or trade when you see a good profit out of it. It is only possible if deal with it patiently or else you might go through the losses if you are looking for a quick profit.

but i have heard about bitcoin much longer before that. maybe around 2-3 years, around the time when everybody was doing solo mining and bitcoin price was skyrocketing through the roof.

the reason that i started using bitcoin was mostly because i liked the technology and idea behind it and also i find trading a great way to earn some extra money.

Bitcoin is 7 years old now and we started one year back we were very late go get into bitcoins. Just imagine if we would have invested at the time of its inception today it would be different stories for us.
yeah. imagine that back then (2010) there was a faucet that gave out 5 free bitcoins to people.

i found this old thread a while back, the giveaway was held by Gavin Andresen and here is the link to a part of bitcoin history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.0)

I read it and found how Gavin kindly did giveaway 5 btc per users, and some of the users sent back to him, because the price bitcoin was not high and the users just wanted to check if the giveaway was working or not. That's the moment when the founders and developers tried to develop the bitcoin to people, and get good results now. I'm curious what will be happened to bitcoin in future.

I sarted using bitcoin 5 months ago because I was attracted by faucets and by a coin that was going down. The best time to do an investiment. Buy a lot of bitcoins and re-sell them when the price will be 900/1000$

It's hard but it's possible. We must hope that a big company start to adopt bitcoin as their alternative payment method, so bitcoin will get trending topic position in newspaper and internet then it's price will go up. But that needs long time

I started with BTC about 2 years ago.
I first heard about BTC from my close friend and when I checked more details about it, I decided to try myself :)
Until now, I was lucky to earn some bitcoin in free ways, through signature campaigns and right now, I'm keeping it in my wallet, hoping that value of BTC will raise again.

Everything can happen, in the beginning the price was low and suddenly the price went very high.

I think my story is not worth been sent.

I started about a year ago, looking for an alternative to buy digital games (I had no credit card nor money by that time, I also wanted to stop being a pirate -I still have pirate MS Office, I think that will be the last step-).
That's a story that I think need to be heard more often. It can be the average, normal people looking for different ways of a means to an end, and using Bitcoin as a means to that end. It even helps people legitimize their purchases, as your story shows.

See, Bitcoin isn't always used for illegal purchases :P

Even I started using bitcoins in april 2015 when one of my friend introduced me to bitcoins saying that it is a future currency and you can earn some bitcoins weekly by getting into signature campaign, I was very much surprised and was happy too that it would take care of my basic expenses and pocket money, So I bought bitcoins and joined signature campaign to earn bitcoins.

Why did you buy Bitcoins in the first place.
If you wanted to earn pocket money then you should have just joined signature campaign.
Buying bitcoins is investment.
But yes nice decision.

Title: Re: When and why did you start using Bitcoin?
Post by: LMGTFY on August 12, 2015, 08:36:12 AM
I saw an article on Slashdot in 2010, found Gavin's faucet and got 0.5 BTC, saw that people on Bitcointalk were spending way more than 0.5 BTC when they bought things, so I tried mining - CPU mining. It took me a whole 4 days with my PC on constantly before I found my first block, and got a 50 BTC reward. Then I checked out exchanges - there was only one, it wasn't in my country, and 50 BTC was - after FX costs - practically worthless. I lost interest.

Some time during early 2011 I saw another article on Slashdot - 1 BTC was approaching the $1 mark, and - even better - there were now exchanges and over-the-counter options in my country! I quickly discovered that mining was now much harder, but I bought a fast GPU are started mining again. Another 4 day wait, but I mined another block! And another! And more! But you know how this ends - difficulty rose constantly. I tried mining pools, and they helped for a while, but in the end GPU mining was no longer profitable for me and I stopped. In hindsight mining was exactly the wrong decision - I should have spent my GPU money (and my electricity money) on buying BTC outright. Most of the BTC I mined I sold (long ago, long before the price was anything near $100, let alone $1000) to pay bills. But I did have some left over, and this time I didn't lose interest but kept half an eye on Bitcoin.

My next burst of activity came in late 2013 - I'm sure you all know what prompted it! I considered - and rejected - selling my remaining BTC. When I thought the price was low I bought and other times I looked for ways to increase the BTC I had. I wasn't prepared to gamble, and I know from experience (2011, MtGox) that I am not a good trader. But I found Bitfinex, where I could lend out BTC, and Coinut, where I could hedge against price changes. So I'm in the fortunate position of having made and lost a fortune (and not realising it at the time), but also having enough left over to be able to accumulate more. Not enough to retire anytime soon, but enough to let me think that I could maybe retire someday!

I've heard about bitcoin a couple of years ago, but I was not really interested in it during that time. I was more into stocks and I thought it would just be a flash in the pan thing. Fast forward to April 2016, I heard about bitcoin once again, and this time I got more curious. I then started to get my feet wet by buying a small fraction. From then on, I've been trying to get as much info about recent developments and events that might lead to another price surge.

Experience exceptional, I think that you feel bored in before you get to know this forum because you still see prices BTC is absolutely under the price now. So you think the effort you spend disproportionate than you get. But now you have started to realize that BTC as the currency that would give an advantage to us in the future.

To be honest this was my thinking as well when I had first started out doing things for Bitcoin on this forum, but over time it eventually grows into a legitimate interest with the technology, at least in my case.

As for the actual thread, I started in 2013, wanted to make money, came here and made money, and am now here because of my interest in Bitcoin.

I started using bitcoin back in 2015 February. That time I was active in hyip market and used to earn money in my perfectmoney account. I heard about bitcoin from few of my peers and though of giving it a shot.

SO I started doing faucets and earned a little amount of bitcoin. Then I thought of buying bitcoin to see the appreciation in price. SO I had bought $50 equivalent of bitcoin in April, 2015.

It was indeed a life changing decision and I am glad that I have taken that decision. Bitcoin has the power to change lives in positive way.

I started it last year and i start because i want to waste my time here in bitcointalk and earn some bitcoin and convert in fiat money, but in my starting months there are many struggles that i passed, like scam group in facebook, hyip site. My friend invite me there and he said they double your money but it seems that in the end they scammed me
Such a horrible story my friend. Me I started using bitcoin when I read it in an article back in year 2010.
I didn't save any because that time I don't have any equipment and BTC was such a fancy name back then for a propaganda and it turns out to be a really good one to have. Many regrets, and many lessons we've learned so far.

I've been in the game also around 2 years 2.5 years. The price was around 500 then.
The reason I thougt bitcoin mining was good, was because of the mining. I bough several miners and placed them in a DC.

and then I get to know that there are some free ways to earn bitcoin and exchange them to fiat.
I use faucets to earn some money but I didn't got any success because of faucets low rates. after 6 months I quit earning bitcoin and start gaining knowledge about it. and till then I am still learning more and more about it.
and yes now I can earn also from bitcoin.

It's really bad if your own refferal scammed but i guess its lesson learned. this was introduced to me by my friend oct. last year. he suggest it because i was doing nothing but games in the internet.

I tried faucet then gave it up the day after it, tried referring at doublers of course I got scammed and I got profited. Then after that I tried btc gambling from free faucet where I met some of my bitcoin buddies that helped me a lot. Well those buddies of mine is the reason why im here. Without them I wouldn't even know about this forum.

I have always heard of it the past few years especially when surfing the deep web but never looked into it.  I remember the days when e-gold was around but never had an interest other than an academic one.  Now that I see more widespread usage and a higher value, I started getting into it.  Now, I'm obsessed. Wish I got started a lot earlier.

Hi, littlebeetly, I started using bitcoins just last year. I think it was June 2015 when my cousin invite me to join a multilevel marketing and bitcoin is the currency required to make an investment in the company. So she shared me a link, the blockchain and introduce me on how to register on it, up to the process of Depositing money in it, and also withdrawing, transferring money to someone, receiving money from them and till now I am so glad that I discovered bitcoins.

Really 2013? ow that was almost 3 years ago? And what was the  current price of bitcoin that time?  Did you like it the first time? How did you feel the first time using bitcoins in transacting money and have you already earned in it? I was also not interested before but after sometime it makes me so much interested in the industry specially when I started earning and when I started to discover the use of bitcoins in our daily lives.

I started way back 1st quarter of 2014,  I was redirected to some faucet site, actually it is not a bitcoin faucet but an altcoin faucet that rewards Doge.  Then further redirected to their Ann thread, where I happen to know lots of Altcoins and then eventually convert these altcoin to bitcoin.  Way back 2014, staying here in Bitcointalk.org is like waitiing for free money since there are lots of giveaways (airdrop) in altcoin section.  So I start using Bitcoin because of ease that i don't need to go out to pay my bills or load up my mobile number.

January 2014 was the first time I started to get bitcoin from faucet and did it for almost six months before I decided to buy some of it from my local exchanger.

I tried many investment ponzi and cloud mining that i didnt know all of them are scam.. thats why im here in forum because looking for a solution to get or recover all my investment but sandly no solution for that..
I thinking before that better to stop using bitcoin but i found a lot and learn here in our forum.. so i decided to keep using bitcoin and collect bitcoin just to do some bounties and work for collecting crypto and sell them into bitcoin and then hold it for a long time to make a profit for the future..

I started bitcoin April 2016. It was a summer and I dont 't have a money because Iam still a student. I tried to search earning money online. I saw a thread on a forum about earning using bitcoin. I saw many of people show their earning using bitcoin thats why I started and read a lot about bitcoin. I earn extra money because of gambling, and cloud mining bitcoins.

it is better for you to avoid investing in cloud mining sites because most of them turn eventually scam like hash ocean recently

I think its just less a week that I joined in cryptoworld.  I started also using it because of money. :D

You came here too late , you have lost a lot of events and a lot of opportunities to earn bigger profits from different tasks on this forum and around the net. By the way, you have chances still try to learn more and more about bitcoin and altcoins you will also get benefits from this currency
I think it's never too late to join in bitcoin dude moreover bitcoin still 7 years old its was very young. anything can happen in bitcoin? and events or promotions about bitcoin that benefits will continue to come and will not be discharged until bitcoin death. if everyone could choose ofcourse they want to join at the beginning of bitcoin launching but they can not do it ?

An officemate mentioned to me that he bought bitcoin last September 2015 and then when the price goes up, he sold it and profit from it. Since I trade stocks for sometime, I become interested on it but only after eight months I bought bitcoin too and then I joined a group in facebook. They were talking about hyip and investing in cloudmining sites so I invested in it too. I thought these are legit investment sites and it turned out to be a scam so I search about how to earn bitcoin without being scammed again and then I stumbled in this site. I learned so many things in this forum and hope that in the future I will earn enough so that I can invest my earnings in other investment vehicles so that when I earn more than my current day job, then I can quit.

After I did the transfer I ventured into alts. Went back to btc a few months after though.

I started using bitcoin in the last quarter of 2014, that  was the first time that I first resign to my previous job and started to look for a part time while  I am looking for a new one, I first started on other online jobs like article writing and I saw bitcoin on the banner, and I tried to search for it in google and the first faucet that came out was moonbit...Then later on I found the land of bitcoin, and some other sharing site, and then bitcointalk... Maybe I wouldn't find bitcoin if I didn't resign my  previous job...  :D Now, I can't let it go even if I already found a new job..  :)

It wasn't that long ago, but it was before decision making had been co-opted by an influential few in order to push the agenda of a fee market, and the community still had places where the merits of different ideas could be openly debated. Back then it had the potential to disrupt world finance, and bring to the unbanked masses a fair shot at participating in the global economy. I miss those days. Nowadays I participate because I like trading on volatility, and because I still have a little bit of hope that its former promise can someday be restored.

I first heard of bitcoin in 2009, but didn't think much of it, back then the only mining option available was CPU mining , and the fact that it was impossible to use laptop i had while the
miner was running made me look the other way.
Almost 2 years after that, i heard about it again, and of the new GPU mining that was developed, and since i had some high end GPU cards, i decided to give it a go. It was the start of my GPU farm, which
later evolved into a mix of ASIC and GPU's.
I guess that's the reason why i started to use bitcoin, mainly for the profits, it was only after some time spend doing it that i realized just how much more the idea is worth over that.

cheers
Allot of people are asking when do you started with the bitcoin or when did you hear the first thing about the bitcoin and most of the time i cant tell them it because i dont know about it lol

I was curious about Bitcoin when people in my circle started to talk about it. Even my childhood friend knows about it. So I checked it out and it turns out that it's a new way to earn money online. Up to now, I'm using Bitcoin to earn extra income. I'm not able to get any part time job in my current area but even if I do, it doesn't pay as much as Bitcoin. Earning Bitcoins is so much easier and pays much more than having a part time job.

Earning from captcha is good only if you don't have any other options to earn them as the payouts are too low and even some captcha services doesn't pay at the end of the day.

I first read about Bitcoin around early 2010. My first reaction on that was like

"Are you seriously telling me that these random characters which doesn't make any sense is worth of hundreds of dollars? You guys are nutcases"

Fast forward few years, 1 btc Worth's $1000? Hang on, what's going on? Well, exactly then; around 2014, I started to dig up crypto currencies and got fascinated towards decentralized shit. A peer to peer finance exchange system. Whoa... I'm in... ;)

I started using Bitcoin about a year ago. However, I used it only a bit, because I didn't really understand for what I may need it. This summer I started to seriously work for signature campaigns, because it is a nice and easy way to earn money. I am also trying to understand what there is interesting here apart from money. Maybe, find people with the same interests (philosophy) so that earning money could become more pleasant.

Pokerstars and Pinnaclesports stopped taking the last way I could deposit,so I shopped around and found I could gamble on bitcoin sites. Was the combo of seeing something about it on the news as well or reading a article and I googled bitcoin and found this forum.
That was back in 2013 I believe and I never really got into it till recently.

I think bitcoin contrast to the dollar, is very different even with all fiat currencies, different bitcoin. bitcoin decentralization, nobody is controlling your money in bitcoin, and that's why I chose bitcoin as my currency a few years ago

I recently started using bitcoin when someone added me to bitcoin related facebook group.I thought bitcoin could make me suddenly rich because of some stories that i read on that group which turned out to be my false notion when I joined this forum  :D

Yes, bitcoin is considered and its function but not recognized as an international currency. Just by having bitcoin you can buy goods in any country that accept bitcoin and have the products delivered to your doorstep.  Aside from currency, it is also considered as an investment because of its ever-rising value.

Twas before I created an account here, sometime in 2015.  I don't actively buy or sell things for bitcoin, nor do I earn money in bitcoin.  I just HODL.  I'm not exactly an early adopter, but perhaps in 20 years we'll all be considered that.

Wow that will be a long time of waiting. If you say you are not an early adopter then it is okay. This price is still way too low from the past price and many users here are just buying and selling. I dont think there are still many who have stocked their bitcoin. Considering how it went up many might have panic sold their coins.

I have not fully understand everything with bitcoin specially with mining. It seems like it is the large part of this industry. I just know some basics about it and still trying to figure out other things.

I began to interested in bitcoins after my boyfriend get in this world. But he joined year and few months ago. He were talking me a lot about bitcoin and it is still one of his favorite topics. I accepted bitcoin as new way of scam and was too skeptic. Believed in it only when we gone to ATM and he cashed out his bitcoins there. Now I even regret that I didn't join that time (year and few months ago) today I would have high rank and my earnings would be higher.

I start using bitcoin when i was 14 years old because i got curious on what is the purpose of bitcoin and why other people keep on using it. So now im 15 and it's been 1 year ago, Start using bitcoin because as i student i also want to earn money and have a extra budget to use in buying the things that i like and also help and contribute money to my parents.

First of all, its been so nice to know that a teenager like you had became open minded in this kind of opportunity. Glad to know that you found out at your early age about the benefits of bitcoin and what they can do to any individuals. so keep up the good work and continue to learn more about it.

This is the very same thing that has happened to my friends and how I get them into Bitcoin. I mentioned it to them that I am making good amount of money out of Bitcoins and they were just "Mehh." "Another scam." "Lame". Months after that, I started to cash out some of my money. I got myself a new phone, and I don't save my fiat money anymore because I don't have to. I buy as much food as I want. Back then, I would just eat as little as possible.

When they noticed that I can now support myself, they quickly got interested in Bitcoins. I talked to them about it and what I do in Bitcoins. I guided them for a while and now one of my friends is quickly approaching my level.

Except the fact that I'm earning something, I like idea behind blockchain, maybe we are on beginning of something great. It's why I'm still here, contributing as I can. I believe with the help of bitcoin we can change this world.
There are always be a big opportunity in using bitcoin you can make some money in every activities your going to do investment is one of the best one where you need to do is to deposit and sit and watch your money growing i started using bitcoin long year ago when im was 14 years old now im 17 so im using bitcoin since 3 years

I agree that holding bitcoin is one good investment and we all know that holding it for a long time will give us profit in return.  As long as we are investing money that is excess in our monthly budget, there is a high possibility of succes in this plan because we don't need to touch it or convert it as soon as we saw little increase in price of bitcoin.

But make sure that you are holding higher amount of bitcoins then only you will see some good profits as we don't know how high or low price can be in future and if price drops then holding will not give you profits.

Well i agree but it doesnt mean that you should have that big amount of bitcoin to because you can also have small one you can see also the profits from it but it is just low but it is okay than nothing earning while holding it.

i think there are two important reasons that  i start using bitcoin, first is that it is a safe investment, as it can even give me profit for simply holding my bitcoin and the second reason is that i can use bitcoin more easily and safely for shopping even in our local market..
Bitcoin is not really good in investment if you are going to waste your money in investment because you can really lose bitcoin here if you said no i can\t lose money because investment is really safe nope mate investment is a myth and there are scamming money.

Majority of users feels that bitcoin is good investment for the future and that is the reason they are investing their money in it and the fact is most of them are not using it as a currency but using treating it only as an investment.
Yes it is really a majority reason that we are feeling safe in bitcoin and it is safe to investme money for the future purposes but they think that bitcoin is not taking rish of course bitcoin is really risk if you are doing in bad way or easy money investment can be scammed also.

Way back April this year, I was encouraged to use bitcoin because I saw that some people are earning money effortlessly by depositing or investing in to a cloud mining site that they guarantee 100% legit. Being in need of extra income, I immediately find way to get money so that I can invest into it as well without even researching if the site is reliable or not. I don't care as long as I am earning. After a few months, the site is suddenly offline and they don't send any bitcoin anymore. So many people panic including me because I only got back half of what I invested and then after a few days, it's confirmed that so many people were scammed. Lucky for those who got back their investment but me I'm not one of those because I lost a decent amount. I learned my lesson in that investment and promise myself not to invest in those HYIP sites anymore. I shift into trading instead to get back what I lost and I am slowly getting it back.

I've just started in bitcoin this last month and it is very cool to do. My friend introduce it to me since I'm asking him about if he knows any work online that pays good, that's why I'm here right now in bitcointalk because he shared to me about this forum that pays bitcoin in every post that you post in different threads here, obviously you must wear a signature campaign to be paid. I'm so happy that I've never rejected his idea about on doing this. Right now I'm earning bitcoins every week and it feels really great.

I bought my first bitcoin late in the year 2013 when I sat down with a geek friend of mine and he told me about it. Since that, I've followed news and discussions and lately I'm started to use bitcoin for everyday life thereafter when the first bitcoin ATM arrived in my hometown.

This is still not late to use bitcoin and i think we are still in early stage and we are still few users of bitcoin because some of my friends don't know about bitcoin so if bitcoin will be popular it can also affect the price of bitcoin and we can get the benefits if you hold some bitcoin or high amount of bitcoin in your wallet..

I think at primary stage we all started our journey in bitcoin by earning from faucets as it was easy and we were not aware about the other ways to earn them and after knowing different ways we felt that we have wasted so much time behind faucets.

Don't tell me for that long you have not earn from bitcoin when i already saw you wearing a signature campaign that actually pays you to do that, or are you trying to tell me that the signature campaign you are promoting is for free ?

Unfortunately I myself only started using bitcoin sometime last year in order to accept payments for goods and services as it seemed like a much more secure way to receive payments than PayPal. The reason I chose to start using it is because at the time PayPal had limited my second account there and I was sick of losing money to them.

In addition, there are paypal and other payment systems but whether bitcoin will be able to replace all of them, I also hesitate before going to use bitcoin. But as they say, it's worth it.

same as your story, I just know about Bitcoin from a friend. I am interested in bitcoin. because after I tried to dig deeper into bitcoin on the internet, I found that this is a digital currency bitcoin that prices are very high compared to gold. I was surprised at the price of 1 bitcoin is currently around $ 700. The price is very high if in exchange the currency of my country. so I am very keen to be involved in this bitcoin world.

Yes, I am also a friend of the introduction. After contact with the potential to feel great, I think bitcoin can become the world's mainstream currency in the future, so I choose to invest in bitcoin.Of course, my ultimate goal is to make money.

I only started using Bitcoin two years ago, however I heard about it since 2009 from a friend that was purchasing some items through silk road.  He was into pharmaceutical which took his life from taking something that he assumed was not really the right drug.  At first I was only hearing the negative side of Bitcoin until I created discussions on my online classes.  It broke the barrier seeing how Bitcoins can be used to invest in projects leading to implementation of blockchain technology to healthcare and other businesses.  A lightbulb hit me to use what I learned from my business classes to research further into a different areas of how Bitcoin was used in society beyond currency.  For the longest time I was just reading the posts on the forums and later got more involved indirectly over time.  I finally decided it was time to create an account on BBT and here I am discussing when and why I started to use Bitcoin to invest into projects that may change how the public may see the use of cryptocurrency in a positive way.
