Title: How have you heard about Bitcoin? Post by: tdenisenko on September 18, 2013, 05:30:51 PM Yeah, I am curious about this because when I had discovered its existence, I had no real life friend that heard about it except my economics teacher.
Please be honest, votes are anonymous anyway. Title: Re: How have you heard about Bitcoin? Post by: roflmao129 on September 18, 2013, 06:09:59 PM Ive heard about bitcoin from the reddit bitcointip bot. I informed myself about bitcoins after I saw that bot.

Done :) Title: Re: How have you heard about Bitcoin? Post by: Peter Lambert on September 18, 2013, 06:48:36 PM I first read about it in a blog (I think it was mentioned on "the Oil Drum"). After I learned about it, I set google news to include a section on bitcoin, so when news outlets run bitcoin stories I see them there too. Back in 2011 I mentioned bitcoins to my brother (he is into stuff like open source programming, he is the only one of my family or friends who used cryptography before I did), he said he had heard of it the previous year because somebody wanted him to invest in their ponzi scheme, and he never looked into it in much detail. Heh, I should go mention to him that bitcoins are up something like 1000% from when he first heard about them.
