Title: How long between 1st hearing the word 'Bitcoin' and having some in yer wallet? Post by: gentlemand on February 19, 2018, 08:53:39 PM This is an interesting stat. I think in many cases it can be several years between someone first encountering the word 'Bitcoin' and eventually winding up owning some.
I assume this process is speeding up as there's now so much more hype and info out there, but it still must be a long time for some people go through the process of hearing about it, learning what it is, deciding to get some and then actually buying it. As for myself, I first read about it in 2009 but didn't get my hands on any until 2013. So four years for me. Silly me. But I did forget completely and that was quite easy back then.

Interesting topic!I assume this process is speeding up as there's now so much more hype and info out there, but it still must be a long time for some people go through the process of hearing about it, learning what it is, deciding to get some and then actually buying it.

Well,for my case I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2014.at the time I was seeing alot of faucets popping out of nowhere.But I didn't knew what was Bitcoin concept. 1 year and a half later I was using Paypal to deal with payments online and Paypal pissed me off literally,and from that day I started seeking for an alternative.And bingo! I discovered Bitcoin and I was really happy that finally I could replace Paypal. So yeah, 1 year and half.If only I discovered it earlier! |
