I learned about Silk Road early 2012, looked at Silk Road near the end of 2012, and THEN I learned about Bitcoins because of Silk Road. I imagine it's very different for people in 2013 with all the media attention. Title: Re: How did you hear about Bitcoin?

I highly recommend it as it is the only finance show that tell it like it is and actually recommends moving away from FIAT altogether.

It was an article about how someone had the cops come to their door thinking they were growing pot, but found their mining farm. Title: Re: How did you hear about Bitcoin?

This. It was an article about how someone had the cops come to their door thinking they were growing pot, but found their mining farm. That's right! I started buying graphics cards a week or so later :) Haha, same! I spent a week or so researching, and then I already had a radeon that could mine, so I started that som'bitch right up soon as I figured it out. Then spent my first coins on another card, and then it's been a downhill slide ever since. :) As in mine until I get enough coins for something fun, buy, mine until I can afford something else, and mine, etc. I'm in a holding pattern for now until price stabilizes again. I don't have a large mining rig, just a couple 7970s. But free money is better than no money :) Title: Re: How did you hear about Bitcoin?

Now if I had actually bought then ... well, anyways. Title: Re: How did you hear about Bitcoin? (dissertation, please vote) Post by: levino on April 26, 2013, 05:37:01 AM In what field is the result of such a survey worthy of being part of a dissertation?

This !!! but dunno if its safe to say this in your thesis ...I mean personally I have a strong belief that 80% of non-miners heard about bitcoin and got into it more or less because of SR :))) but it was actually an internet article about SR ...in a newsportal. so I can say the internet and look less like a junkie :)) Title: Re: How did you hear about Bitcoin?
