Bitcoin Forum

I first heard of it when I friend of mine said(jokingly) that he could get anyone assassinated for 6BTC on silk road. I asked what it was and he said that it was an online currency that nobody uses. I googled Bitcoin..I have not slept since.
:3
How did you first hear about Bitcoin?

Sometimes I wonder whether criminals have established their own specific cryptocurrencies, because even criminals need to trade favors for favours.

But then again, using bitcoin or any crypto would be pretty dumb as a criminal, since with the wrong leak could trace you to everything that you've done with time stamps and possibly even locations. And you'd never know what was a honeypot, especially because you'd be dealing with criminals (and probably dumb ones).

The openness of bitcoin may actually help lower criminality over time because of these features, and make politicians more accountable to their people in more than one way.

but scammers, criminals and rug pulls happen everywhere, (as far as I know) few are caught

You might be wright.  ;) ;) :D
I mean, your statement might be right.   ??? :o :-\

You may not hear about everyone who is caught though. I suspect law enforcement doesn't always want to give up all of their methods. =/

I have heard first about Bitcoin from my friend, his friend was a miner. It sounded first a bit complicated and unclear. and after some period of time I have heard from my friend that lots of people buy this coins and it may give a good profit one day. It sounded like something unreal, but after having learnt in deep about btc and crypto I started to be interested in crypto more seriously.

I don't think bitcoin is more used by criminals than other currencies.

Drug dealers always used cash, which is a lot more anonymous and untraceable than bitcoin is. There is a good TV show about this in Netflix, Narcos. This series tells the story of Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug dealer who built an empire selling drugs in the united states.

He used only USD cash. In the TV show you can see he receiving millions and millions of dollars in cash. He couldn't even handle so much money, then he even started burying money to use later on!

Criminal activity has nothing to do with BTC. Criminals will use any kind of currency.

I first heard about bitcoin when I reading about privacy online. After a few days, i discovered an article saying that bitcoin was a good currency for privacy... I couldn't stop reading about it since then.

sometimes i think "what if i could turn back time and buy some bitcoins"   ::) maybe everyone has thought like that  ;D 

Have you bought yet though? Are you planning to buy?

Greek guy I knew told me to buy just 1BTC in 2013. I ignored him until around 6-9 months later & I then bought 1.

I got obsessed, bought a lot more & the rest is history.

not yet , better wait for elon musk tweet about s*it coin  :D

I had about Bitcoin when I was in University then, no one knows how to acquire it cause there is limited information about it on net then. We had to joking play about it and it price as a means of one world currency and the price was also lesser than $1 making it look like it wouldn't survive in the long run if government policies eventually stand against it. Now Butcoin had been a gold that is needed to mined to acquire it, what a remarkable long journey since the creation of Bitcoin.

A solid strategy.

It'll bottom out soon enough I'm sure. They say "It's time in the market, not timing."
Timing helps, but time in bitcoin will pay out, no doubt.

Heard about it from an acquaintance, got quite fascinated by the concept and dived right into researching about it, I haven't looked back since then. This was during the beginning of the 2018 bear market, which gave me an experience of the market cycles.
It took me not long from here to own my first fraction of a coin.

There was in the news about problems related to a big exchange where people were trading dollars vs a coin that can be created by some computer processing and the coin can work without banks.
It was the end of 2013, the exchange was Mt Gox, and actually Bitcoin was no longer mined by CPU (nor GPU). I thought I've missed the train and I spent (too) long time with altcoins until I actually became Bitcoiner, but nobody's perfect. But that was when I first heard of Bitcoin.

When my friend introduce it to me but that time we do talk about on how to make income online and he had suggested about this forum and that's my first crypto journey and

same as yours, I did really have able to commit myself on learning even more and I was grateful that everything turns out to be beneficial on my part and since

crypto or bitcoin did really change my life in terms of financial but of course you would really be needing to work hard for it and not just wait up.

That was when I'm bored playing online games all day and start searching on how to earn online to sustain my gaming needs lol. And a facebook group/community related to bitcoin pops and I start following it. The members were very welcoming they even give me tip of 0.0001 btc joining and give me tips everything on how tos, thats way back 2015.

^ One of my close friends abroad told me about BTC way back in 2015 but I ignored him for almost a year until such day he told me again that he gained profit and that time I never doubted I purchased my first BTC in LocalBitcoin and in Kraken. In the following months, I found this forum and that was 2016 which is what I thought before the only benefit is to learn blockchain technology but now not only by that. Just sharing this, before faucets and bounty hunters are very profitable not like these days.

I've never actually heard of Bitcoin until a few years ago, when its price jumped to $ 20,000 for the first time. I guess I had heard of the cryptocurrencies, but I didn't think that they would ever gain traction. It was something that people talked about in fringe circles, but I didn't think that it would ever be a practical thing.

Obviously, I was young and stupid back then... I am a bit older now. ;)

This topic has been discussed before, I think it is not really necessary to create a new one.

If you want to share your experience about your first time to know Bitcoin, you can share it with a more specific title.
Ex: First time I know Bitcoin, My experience to know Bitcoin at the first time, etc

Regarding my experience, I have been familiar with Bitcoin for a quite long time. I have known Bitcoin since 2017 and I already bought some of Bitcoin at that time. When do you know Bitcoin exactly, mate @unotohero? You don't tell the detailed time on the thread above. You are better to let us know, so we know how long your experience in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin information is everywhere currently, so for we to grab the of cryptocurrency this season is no longer difficult bade on internet, many people notice what is cryptocurrency especially bitcoin through friends in the year 2010 and 2011, but due to the advert of cryptocurrency online everyone is now aware of cryptocurrency, even investing on it, shall in this scenario it depends on how you notice what's cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin are special coin and coins that you could call Investors coin and as to how i heard about it is what I can't really remember but i know it all started when a friend of mine who was few months into Forex trading came around and was just analysing the market and he talked about Bitcoin in the process from him and so from there i asked what bitcoin was all about and he explained and on my own i did some few researches as well. So that is exactly how we got here

I first heard about bitcoin from my friend and the first time he explained to me he immediately said that bitcoin is the currency of the future and at that time I just laughed. But after a few months when bitcoin price started to rise drastically (2017-2018) I started to take more interest in bitcoin and find out more details about blockchain. Right now, i put all of my money into crypto and i believe in the future my investment will be my the best lotere i've ever buy.

A few years ago, my friend first learned about it. He made money on Bitcoin and recommended it to me so that I can learn and understand. After I fell in love with cryptocurrency, I also recommended it to my friends around me and let them learn. I also have many friends from all over the world in the cryptocurrency market.

The first time I came into contact with the encryption field was during the epidemic, I did not go out to work, and stayed at home every day. Friends talked to me about Bitcoin, which aroused my interest. I often went to him every day to learn and understand, so that I no longer I'm lazy. After I gradually learned about it, I also began to enter the market to invest in cryptocurrencies, and I have made considerable gains up to now.

Bitcoin appeared very early, but I only learned about it in recent years. I don't understand the concept of Bitcoin, I just saw news about Bitcoin on the Internet. But my lover chose to research in depth and started to invest in some altcoins, with very high returns. I asked her for advice, and under her leadership, I also began to enter the market. When I encounter a problem, she will patiently help me answer the question. I was lucky enough to meet my beloved one.

In 2011, my brother asked me to borrow money to buy equipment to participate in Bitcoin mining. My brother was only 18 years old at the time. I didn't know anything about Bitcoin, so I checked online and checked what Bitcoin is. The Internet said that Bitcoin is a scam. I believed this statement and rejected my brother's request. This is a decision I still regret.
It wasn't until 2018 that a friend of mine introduced me to Bitcoin, and I didn't really understand it in depth.

I was not interested in bitcoin until I knew that my relatives made money and made a high profit from bitcoin, then I started curious to learn information about bitcoin on the net and saw many positives about it, and then gradually I started investing in bitcoin. Currently, I also earn quite a bit from this investment work

I heard about bitcoin since 2013, when there was news of someone mining bitcoin because the price went up by more than $ 1000 so he could earn up to $ 1 million per month, at that time I was interested in bitcoin moreover it was still easy to earn via faucets, unfortunately I didn't focus so I left bitcoins.

I first heard it was in 2017. Someone I knew talked  about it like it was the most interesting but complicated topic. They are earning so much with it. They share what they know about it to everyone including me. But I thought that it can be profitable that time and it will also end soon because not everyone can adapt it ( not everyone have access to internet, nor have gadgets and information) but I'm wrong because after a few years it is still there and it was known globally. It has great potential and a good investment that was surely profitable.

Hmmm let me think about it. I think the first time i heard about bitcoin in 2016, i know bitcoin from the famous forum in my country (Kaskus).

At that time, i've been looking to get extra money from that forum and most of that of members push me to do faucet to get token.

After doing the faucet, lucky me i know more information from this amazing forum (Bitcointalk) and i learned a lot from this forum and I am very grateful for this forum.

Now that you've learned more, hopefully, you're seeing that it's more than just another investment asset.

"Putting all your eggs in one basket" isn't a smart choice and since you mentioned crypto, instead of BTCitcoin, then I'm assuming you think that owning various cryptocurrencies counts as diversification but it doesn't ^{[if BTCitcoin crashes, most likely others would follow as well (with the exception of a few)]}.

@unotohero
I'll quote myself, instead of repeating what I've said in an interview:

A friend told me about bitcoin & he has a lot more money than me so I trusted his advice & bought. Suffice to say it has worked out very well for me as a 2015 adopter.

I've heard about it about 7-8 years ago. I just saw news on the internet that some guy bought pizza with bitcoins and it's price went up. But it wasn't so high as now, haha.

I was just thinking how to make money from the internet, whatever I was looking for and all of it failed, and I found a unique thing, namely bitcoin, I kept learning, and making friends, I finally have my own income now.

A long time ago I made money in the Forex market. At that time, few people heard about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. But when I tried to trade cryptocurrency, it turned out to be much easier and you can earn much more. Also, check here https://bikkex.com/fees what low fees are now on the exchange that I use.

the first time I heard about bitcoin I didn't believe it, I even said it was a bitcoin scam, but fortunately there is always a friend who always gives me guidance, even though I don't believe it but he still persuaded me, to get to know bitcoin, I only really believed after him prove that he earns from bitcoin, thank you buddy for guiding me until now..

I knew about bitcoin quite early, since I was a playful, destructive, innocent boy. I forgot them by date, I even forgot the name bitcoin still exists. And until, early in 2018, I was reunited with my cousin while on a flight, he shared his progress to become rich, full, financially free... I was suddenly realized, I missed my trip. I dived into investing and was really unlucky there.
But now, I won't lose that opportunity again.

just like me who was told by a friend...

in the middle of 2017, I asked my friend if there was a vacancy at his workplace but he said he had left his job and focused on participating in campaigns in bitcointalk forum, it was from him that I learned about Bitcoin and this amazing forum.

i heard bitcoin on my friend who really interested to discover some stuff around the internet, and yes at first for me bitcoin is just nothing because that time your earnings from it is too small because the price is too cheap as well. And bitcoin isn't performing well but after months it becomes trending all around the internet even in television because of some rumors until the price rapidly increase and makes ATH and we really saw our money grow form our mobile wallet we are very happy that time. Lol But now seems not even the price really improved a lot.. I dont know why, maybe it's because of our losses from it? Lol

I had no idea what the hack cryptocurrencies are or why are people going crazy about it! I am a writer by profession. As a part of my daily practice, I try to read content on a wide diversity of topics and stumbled upon blogs pointing to Elon Musk's Twitter and his manipulation of the cryptocurrency market.
Therein I decided to know everything about the crypo. Currently, I am hodling a few of the top coins in scare amount, not bitcoin!

Since I had no expertise, I decided that staking will be the best strategy rather than trading. Here https://ttnex.io, I bought Ethereum.

But, I have been so long that now I want to become a trade as I hear and see so many people making unbelievable amounts of money with day trading.

I will be happy if anyone can suggest me some strategies. Though I do the math every day seeing the changes in prices, I am still not confident to start trading.

I heard about bitcoin in many places before started using it, initially first time I saw Bitcoin Payment on an online game I used to play and it piqued my interest as to I never heard about this so-called "Bitcoin" before and the more research I did it landed me to a gambling casino and from there I heard about this forum where I knew more about it.

Is it necessary to tell you that when and where we first got to know bitcoin? is that the basis for someone who knows longer to own large amounts of bitcoin? not really.

Because actually not a few of them regret knowing bitcoin but they don't take advantage of it all by buying a number of bitcoins on a large scale.
Well, at least it was 2011 when I got to know bitcoin, and certainly not right away. it took 1 year to notice how bitcoin would be big in the future and decide to buy. It used to be that bitcoin wasn't that expensive, that's why regret comes and people admit they didn't know bitcoin much longer.

Seriously the first time I heard about bitcoin was when I was with my friend and he top me he always buy and sell bitcoin and I asked him what bitcoin is and he explained all to me and later I went to do my research and find out more about it. I later meet with my friend and told him I also want to start trading bitcoin and he guided me.

One of my best friends tells me about bitcoin when I search for an online job in 2013. He only says, why do you not try bitcoin? I never thought that it changed my life because once I learned how to collect satoshi from the faucet, I am trying to collect from many faucets' websites as in that year, it was easy to collect 100k satoshi daily. Bitcoin at that year is not too popular and not many of us knew about bitcoin. Bitcoin makes me curious and I never expected that the price could increase to $5k after I knew bitcoin.

I've heard it from a friend and I even thought of it as a scam which I regret until now. If I didn't doubt it years ago and listen to what my friend was saying about it, I should have gained a good profit already. I only realized that Bitcoin could be a future currency when it boomed during the 2017 bull run. From then on, I did my own research about it and studied about dealing with the opportunities that it offers such as trading and investing.

I didn't hear it, I searched for a business and found something unique, like coins being played, but this is the real technology, I started trying to trade, until now, even bitcoin is well known in my current environment.

The first time I knew about BTC was in 2014 and that time was when I participated in raiblock's captcha typing and then sold it into BTC at that time I remember correctly, the price of BTC was only about 2k $, the first time I was very surprised when can sell something called virtual currency that can be sold for money and buy things that I need.

your story is very entertaining, it's a shame i don't have friends who first knew Bitcoin than me....i heard about Bitcoin since 2018 but only seriously invested in Bitcoin last year.  i first found out about Bitcoin when i googled the best way to make money on the internet.  my experience is of course still a bit, but i have full faith in Bitcoin and the future of crypto.

I first heard about bitcoin back in 2011 when the news report showed a man mining bitcoin with his old computer and making money from it, it got me curious about it but i was young and it didn't stick with me so i never invested time into learning more about it, until later on when my friend talked about it and i remembered it and started to look up it more and learn about it, and until this day i keep thinking what would have been if i chased it back in 2011.

Why should we regret what we didn't have before when today we still have the opportunity to buy and own?
I will probably never regret such a thing as I am only 5 years adrift after bitcoin was created by Satoshi. Bitcoin used to be not as expensive as now but 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin forever. There are many doubt among investor and trader about the future of bitcoin so it is not as expensive as it is now. In addition, the adoption of bitcoin and the availability of information about bitcoin at that time was still quite low as a legal tender and made the interest in bitcoin not very large. I'm sure you had two of the biggest bullish period so far in bitcoin history and that was in 2017 and 2021 and it seem like a lot of people would never believe this if we asked the 2010 to 2015 range.

The first time I heard about bitcoin and saw the word 'bitcoin' was years ago when the price was less than 500 bucks there was a guy selling books only for bitcoin on the internet and since I needed to buy a rare book from him I had to do some investigation and see what is bitcoin and what is the usage of it. Unfortunately, since there were no enough resources for me I could just find articles saying bitcoin is being used for buying drugs and guns that's why I didn't buy and use bitcoin those days. Until months after that my girlfriend gave me some knowledge about bitcoin on my birthday and I bought my first bitcoin thanks to her.  

I have first heard about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency from my friends that have first to get into engagement with it and have introduced it to me since they think that I would be interested into such kinds of stuffs and that is when I have started working into earning Bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies on which I have also taught into my other friends that have frequently asking me about it and interested also to get into it. At first, it is a strange thing to me that such kind of currency do really exist because by that time I do not really have any idea with it. Big thanks to my dearest friends that have taught me and introduced Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to me for the reason that I owe them everything I have right now.

First time I heard about Bitcoin when I was reading magazine and there was an article that described about bitcoin. When I was reading I didn't really understand and started to browse more about it. After that I met my friend and he told me about bitcoin and we started together to invest until now we are still best friend and remind each others to invest if we find any good projects with small marketcap.

when I graduated from high school in 2010 I was already working in a company and started thinking about investing the money I got. When looking for digital investments I see a lot of investment options. I started to see a lot of bitcoin news getting into my google recommendations and I was very interested in learning basic knowledge about bitcoin and blockchain then I started looking for local community bitcoin on facebook and google and found this forum.

I had heard the news from my brother cousin since in 2017 and might hear from news or other media. I really worked hard 2017 and 2018.But when the market crash, I stopped again and loss my money from earning. I started again in 2020 in the last season.

I had heard about bitcoin for the first time from the internet I was learning about programming language I saw one ad about bitcoin so I thought that I can make my future here and yeah it was amazing I have much fun in this industry and right now I see my future very bright with bitcoin.

When we do talk about future then theres no such thing about assurance or being safe because even you do know bitcoin then you would really need to work hard for you to progress.

The first thing i heard about bitcoin do came to my friend on where he did mention it out and tells me about this forum and i did really able to saw the opportunities that you could

really deal and able to make money if you do know on what you are a doing.You do need to move for you to earn.Yes, this is really an opportunity for us to make things even more better
specially in terms of payment system and also with investment.

I heard about bitcoin when I joined this forum, I joined this forum through the help of my big brother, he has been on this forum for like a year plus, so he bought a system for my final year project so he taught I could as well be using this system for the forum, so he assisted me with the registration and here I am today.

The first i heard Bitcoin when my friends talks about it. if i remember " they told me it in around November 2018 or 2019, i'd also seen some mentions of it online before that but never looked into it. oh how i wish i could go back in time..,

I got to know bitcoin from a friend, I was very interested when it was explained about bitcoin and I opened the internet to find out the truth of what my friend said, after I studied more deeply then I concluded that I could get bitcoin and until now the enthusiasm has not disappeared I will continue collect bitcoins because in the future I believe bitcoin will be the number one asset in the world.

It's the same with me, I found out about bitcoin from my friend and there was already a group for people playing bitcoin to gather. From there, I became more and more interested in bitcoin itself, which was interesting and the group of friends who were very friendly to help provide information as a beginner like me. And as a result, until now I have focused on working to get bitcoin, one of which is from the airdrop or from the trades that I run.

the first time I heard bitcoin from a friend, and he showed his wallet which was worth 2 btc at that time the btc value was still at 5k $ and he said get it for free . there I started looking for facts whether what he said is true, can get it for free it turns out to be true BTC what he got was the result of exchanging his bounty rewards

I heard about it from a friend who was interested. At the same time I read some things about the bitcoin bubble pop, as it was 2015, not long after the crash and actually near the bottom.
Fun fact is that the media love to talk about how bad the asset really is when it's at or near the bottom. They rarely bash it on the way up or at the top.

I googled some things, begun to watch youtube videos, bought some altcoins because at first I thought that altcoins and bitcoin are pretty much the same thing just priced differently. I had to spend a lot of time and lose some money to learn what I know now, but I'm happy with what I know and that it did not cost me more.

I was already doing things that are related to bitcoin like PTC and other stuff when I heard about it last 2015, back then we don't have huge popularity like we have today. Everything has been changed and the first day I invested was the best day of my life. I'm sure there are lots of people right here who have taken the opportunity as soon as they see the huge list of choices of how you can earn with bitcoins. If you can see my profile, I never stop since I landed in this community though things have not been good lately, I'm still here seizing some opportunities.

The first time I hear about bitcoin from my friend.  At that time I did not believe in bitcoin, but my friend continued to explain the advantages of bitcoin.  Until finally I decided to buy bitcoin, because I believe bitcoin is the most profitable investment.

I had firstly heard Bitcoin in 2017, but didn't give it any attention. Then, in February 2020 I got very interested and started learning about it. You know, the kind of obsession that lasts long ('til today!) and makes you want to leave everything else and just focus on that one thing? This is what I did in the summer of 2020, for the rest it is pointless to write. One thing lead to another and here I am, observing very bullishly my future holding bitcoins.

I don't think that I had a similar obsession before. It combines my favourite sciences; economics & computers'.

izaragi's post was made seven years ago and Hobo's four. There's no reason to wake up these threads, because mainly the OP wants to read some fresh answers.

Back in 2016, from an advertising network when they asked if i would love to receive payments in BTC

Shouldnt really mind of about necropost since there are lots of threads had been created having on the same topic title or discussion.Bumping a 6-7 year old thread would be a good idea.
It would be good if we do able to see present reactions and  comments which some new people would really able to answer off.
Answering the question  on how did i first  hear out about bitcoin,it was five years ago when i  dont  have job and nonstop seeking of it until i do set out my foot here on this
cryptospace where i did found this forum and learnt up everything that i should learn and  aware into those earning opportunities.

Well, I heard this when someone telling me about bitcoin, it was in the year 2017 --bitcoin at that time gaining popularity because there is a rumor that it will pump too much, and a month later, bitcoin created a new ATH but I am still trying to understand what is bitcoin --due to curiosity and wanted to learn about bitcoin and accidentally found this forum and try to look someone that could I ask and how is the story behind the bitcoin, fortunately, I am in the right path and I have learned a lot. Bitcoin at that time upon my interpretation is all about profit, I did not think the uses on it.

I heard about Bitcoin from my cousin
at that time he visited my house using a new motorbike, then I idly asked where he got the money to buy it, he said I got a new motorbike from selling Bitcoin

Since that I have become more and more curious about Bitcoin, he was also the one who introduced me to this forum
I think knowing Bitcoin is a blessing in my life, as an investment asset in the future

First time I heard btc also from my friend. He told me that he was crazy about btc, and it was true that he got a lot of results. At that time I was also interested and found out about crypto. It was interesting and I finally decided to join it. I started to study and continue to learn so that I can better understand the crypto world. Initially I invested in some coins, after that I also tried to join the bounty campaign. It's not bad, I profit from it. Since then I was determined to focus and started thinking about investing in some coins that do have good prospects. I currently have some coins and hope I can profit from them. I learned to analyze the market well so I can determine the right time to sell or buy crypto.

the first time i heard about bitcoin was 5 years ago, i was talking to my uncle and somehow he ended up telling about bitcoin, he told that they use it sell and buy drugs and weapons, and it sounded really interesting to me, of course not the drugs and weapons part, so i started searching about it and the first thing i did was faucets since it was the first thing that comes up when you google how to get bitcoin for free, and that's how it all started, my uncle knew about it but i don't know if he did anything with that info tho, i never asked.

Because I have been very active in the internet world for a long time, I found out about Bitcoin accidentally around 2015 in several articles on
the internet. But at that time I was confused by the explanation I read and I thought Bitcoin was just a joke. So it took about a year,
for me to be able to start to understand Bitcoin. I got a lot of explanations from my friends, and in 2016 I started collecting Bitcoins through
faucets. Finally entering the year 2017 Bitcoin is increasing in price and I started to dare to buy Bitcoin with my money. But my knowledge is
still lacking, then I buy Bitcoin when the Bitcoin price reaches ATH. I'm like other newbies, panicking because the price of Bitcoin is getting lower
in 2018. Finally I suffered a big loss at that time, but I don't regret it, With that incident, I now understand better how to invest in Bitcoin.

Before getting in touch with digital currency, I often heard stories about the currency circle and witnessed some friends slowly realizing the freedom of wealth, but they never stepped into the field of digital currency. Until the beginning of this year, I discussed this year's plan with a colleague. Colleagues said to invest 1% or 5% of assets to the forefront, today’s main trends, such as p2p and current digital currencies.Even if the investment fails, it will not affect the overall wealth. I started to understand the digital currency, I chose the exchange, all replaced by usdt, and started a little bit. Since I am a novice, I chose Bitcoin, and I am full of doubts about currencies other than Bitcoin.

First of all, let's be grateful that we are within the scope of bitcoin so far to reap various benefits from it, not necessarily we can improve/push our finances this far without bitcoin/crypto.
It's nice to be reminiscing/flashback about bitcoin in the past, which at first seemed less valuable.. until it was very valuable, I first got to know it from a close friend, and I only knew about it on free faucet sites and other free claim rewards on the internet. as time goes by, there are more and more ways to get or many things related to bitcoin in the internet world until there are many opportunities to profit from bitcoin until now, it seems extraordinary when considering my journey so far, till I can be able to invest.

have friends will always inform what investments are so popular at this time and we are also very interested in learning about it regularly, with guidance from people around us who make us able to understand how to invest in the crypto world. , with the modern era that is so advanced we are also easy to browse on the internet, to obtain information about the crypto world, if we are already steady in learning about it then we can jump into the world of bitcoin for a long period of time

I usually don't believe in fantasy, I need concrete evidence for something I just know or hear.

When I first got to know Bitcoin, I often read on Google, I read and researched, what makes Bitcoin attractive to many people, then I have a friend who works in one of the government fiat currency exchanges, he told me about Bitcoin.
Long story short, my friend showed me the results of withdrawing Bitcoin to me, oh my god, it turned out to be real fiat money, at the end of the story I learned and got to know several exchanges and made transactions, finally like now.

In 2017, the company was acquired and a new boss moved in. I couldn’t adapt. I was unemployed. In the second month, my original boss called me and asked me if I wanted to speculate some coins, which might lead to freedom of wealth. I thought he was It's not that the company's bankruptcy was stimulated. In the end, I chose to enter this industry. I was very lucky.

I first heard about bitcoin is when my friend talk about game that can pay us with money. Then what i know after it is mining site that the satoshis keep increased and we must make deposit to withdraw. Actually it is bad moment because we know it is HYIP site, but with that i learn about bitcoin itself and found this forum too.

The first time I heard about BTC was that my cousin brother was typing captcha for mrai and exchanged it for BTC to sell for money. I didn't believe it, but I tried to make money online, try to do as it said or not and in the end, as it said, I got a pretty large amount of money from doing it online.

The first time I knew about BTC was introduced by a friend about cryptocurrency investment and he and I quickly invested an initial level of only 1BTC then made a profit and continued to invest until now. I invested quite a bit in BTC.

I first got to know about bitcoin back in 2017 when my brother introduced me bitcoin faucets. It was a way of amassing bitcoin until it reached a significant amount and then you can withdraw.
This, however,  is not reliable as it takes a very long time to amass. Later, this same brother introduced me to bitcointalk. I got to know I can earn bitcoins by participating in signature campaigns. I took that serious because it pays way more than faucets and I could learn as well in the community.

The first time i heard about bitcoin was from online news around 2013 which said there is someone who can make up to $10k from mining bitcoin, I think this is a huge income and I want earning like him. Then I googled a lot of articles about bitcoin and tried mining with 3 units of S5, unfortunately the income didn't match my expectations and I sold it again in 2015.

I remember when I was around town looking for a job, where I accidentally met an old friend, and he was doing this job, and from there I started to learn a lot from him so I understand a little about cryptocurrency, until now I also feel the income from here

What kind of job you're referring to? Do you mean to say about bounty program from those altcoin projects in this forum? If it is the case, I think you and your friend doing it wrong to consider bounty program as a "job". Take it as a bonus only while you are learning about cryptocurrency in this forum.

I got to know about bitcoin for the first from an online news about early adopter of bitcoin who could make a huge profit just from few bucks after few years. At the first time, I thought it was just a hoax or something unreal so I did not really care about it. Few months later I heard from a close friend that he earn some money from online investment (cloud mining). He show me a proof of the payment of his earning and that's the first time I decided to start learning about bitcoin.

If i'm not mistaken probably when i was a student and that time my classmate discovered a mining app for bitcoin on mobile devices, but we figured it out that it was fake. Lmao until we search for such app that making free money and we noticed that there's a bunch of advertisement about bitcoin so we open every article that poping up because of curiosity, until we become interested on it and we try to make small investment.. And that time we are totally convinced that bitcoin is a legit thing in the internet.

bitcoin has.become a very popular business.at this time in the world of cryptocurrency and its.development is very fast, almost some people know bitcoin as a.business, especially now with a very sophisticated.era so we can easily.get information very quickly and accurate.by using the internet, so we are no longer difficult to find information related to a business.that we will live for in the future

That's not a joke op but you can buy illegal service and stuffs in the dark web but for 6btc to hire a killer ?
 I think that was too small and might be a scam because the value of 1btc before is cheap and there are lots of scams in the dark web .
i guess majority of us also heard btc because of the dark web because it was a popular topic way back 2010's but now btc can be heard almost anywhere and its use are not limited anymore .

I first hear about bitcoin is from youtube in 2017, at that time i watch the video about mining and after i seeing the video its make me more interested to know more about bitcoin. So i decided to spend my money to do some trade, i thought if i want to buy btc i should buy 1 btc LOL, but in the reality i don't need to buy "1" but i can just buy 0.000000xxx.

Internet is where I first came across Bitcoin on 2017. It derives my attention when a see a headline that goes like "Bitcoin, the new way to have your money decentralized" I can't really remember the source though, but I went ahead to read and that's where I discover how safe and secured the use of bitcoin is.

Some says its late knowing Bitcoin at 2017 as it values 23000$ then, I got distracted by few other people but I tried discarding every discouragement when I learnt I can put up as little as $1 investment in bitcoin.

I heard it only in 2017 when it set a new ATH of $19,678. It created a hype among many. After that, I started learning what is Bitcoin and the technology behind it. Since then, I have become an ardent fan of bitcoin.BTC

- I also know bitcoin in the price range you said, maybe a little more or less but overall the price at that time was still quite cheap and faucet mining and buying and selling market is still very simple, few people intend to hold for the future but in a few blinks of an eye, a few years of development and manipulation, bitcoin was no longer able to be bought cheaply, it really reminded me of the time when everything was known only to the Satoshi unit

Bitcoin, the first time i heard about bitcoin. It was a friend of mine that first told me about bitcoin after then, i made some research  about bitcoin on google is there i read more about bitcoin, how it works, and i realized one can sell and buy bitcoin. And that you can sell things and let people pay you with bitcoin. To me bitcoin is unlike an online version of cash. A digital currency.
No matter how many miners, it still take 10 minutes to mine 1 bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital currency powered by many computers around the world.

I heard about bitcoin on Twitter when its price was $ 700, taking a look at the chart, it could have been 04-11-2016 and it wasn't until the following year that I created an account on bitcointalk and decided to learn more about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

According to what people who know about bitcoin for the first time say they decided to learn more, it is very unlikely that people will stop supporting it completely.
The more people learn about bitcoin the right way, they will surely have the satisfaction of knowing how to include it in their finances and get the best out of it.

It is never too late to invest in bitcoin if you haven't already, so do it. If the giant Amazon will include it very soon as a means of payment to bitcoin, it is because it is an accolade towards innovation where we already agree.

I heard about bitcoin for the first time in 2015 when I was in high school I have heard about it through quiz competition which was held in my school. When I heard about it i'd thought that this is like a normal technology but in 2017 it's price moon to $19000 I was very shocked I was regretting why I did not invested in 2015.

remembering the beginning of knowing bitcoin,,all can not be separated from the information of friends and now my friend already has a lot of experience in the crypto world and also I believe the assets he has exceed the assets of the rich people in my area if it is cashed..
back to this topic, info from friends does not go directly to bitcoin, but is invited to participate in this forum and that's where I can independently find out what bitcoin is and it turns out that changes have happened now a lot of people want to have bitcoin and make it an asset future.

The first time i hear about bitcoin it's from my uncle who told me to look and learn about bitcoin, so after they give me advice i try to find more information about bitcoin and after that i'm very impressed and start to know more about blockchain and here i go right now still learn everyday about bitcoin and another alts.

there's nothing to be sorry for, friends, the important thing is that we are grateful to be involved and find out bitcoin early. see there are still many people who have doubts and contra on bitcoin and crypto in general, even though there are many benefits to be had. Is not it?
I used to have doubts when my friend invited me to learn bitcoin trading in the 2016s. At that time I also didn't think the price would be like it is now, unfortunately there is no time machine, lol, so like it or not we have to try our best to take advantage of the opportunities that exist.

In Whats App, I Friend tell me That I am Telling you About something you just bought it and after some months you will happy and excited and will be in big Profit, He was talking about bitcoin and That was the first time when i hear about bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.

That's a natural thing and maybe many feel the same as you, because at that time there were still many who doubted bitcoin and after rising to the highest price at that time many felt sorry.
and I got involved in bitcoin and this forum in May 2017 from some of my friends who have been involved for a long time, and they told me very clearly about bitcoin and the profit they generate which made me curious and finally got involved.
and I also felt the benefits that I got, which made me believe in bitcoin even more when the end of 2017 the bitcoin price reached $19,000 more because the first time I got involved I made small purchases gradually so that I got a satisfying profit.
and I also didn't expect the increase that happened yesterday, so don't ever regret the delay because there is always a chance to go up again if we believe and be patient.

If you do have the time to observe and learn there's a lots of opportunities, you don't  need to worry it's better to understand everything first before making your move,

Those who came first and enjoy their profits also doubt at first then realizing the benefits they start to move and work inside this market, don't worry since the value of bitcoin is progressive you should more concerns with your emotions, it can lead you to lose your money if you failed to control it properly.

Bad news that it was a bubble and then I researched into it and found this little place I did not sign up at first and just lurked but I eventually decided to sign up and it has helped my knowledge more than anything else could.

I found out about bitcoin in December 2015, thanks to an ad I saw on a ptc site, then I decided to research more about the subject and found this forum, it was all coincidence. I didn't even remember this story at that time, at that time paypal prohibited PTC sites from using paypal on PTC sites and as an alternative PTC sites added bitcoin as a means of payment, I didn't use bitcoin because I didn't know it until I saw an ad in the form of a banner and the banner had bitcoin symbol, that's how I started researching bitcoin and found this forum and started making faucets, but with time I realized that it would take a long time to have a lot of bitcoin and so I sold my computer stuff and bought bitcoin

I first heard bitcoin through my brother. I guess it was four to five years ago. He's in college while I am working. At first i was hesitant with cryptocurrencies but when he oriented me and he shared the basics, i became interested in bitcoin. And now, my husband and I are into bitcoin and other altcoins. I see a lot of potential and i am amazed by its technology.

I heard almost 20 years ago when i was searching for online earnings method and found some sites which were paying BTC satoshi for completing task.
This was my first experience with btc , at that time i created coinbase acount and also created Xapo wallet.

the experience you are experiencing is exactly the same as mine, the first time I found out bitcoin was also from facebook which was posted by my friend, then I started looking for it on the internet, until finally there was a friend who wanted to guide me to get to know bitcoin better, until now I still learning about bitcoin

I don't remember the Youtube channel but I first heard of it in there when I was looking for something to watch and I came across the Ross Ulbricht case, I was a crime fanatic back then so I always watch some insane heist stories and robberies in the history. I have heard of bitcoin there although it wasn't the focus but it was enough for me to be interested in the tool and from there, I started watching videos regarding bitcoin.

I first heard of bitcoin when my friend got bitcoin from a gambling site. there I saw that bitcoin could be turned into money. from there i started to learn bitcoin from my friend and until now i stay in crypto to get bitcoin

Bitcoin is an important online currency, it is not equally popular in different countries of the world. However, as a Bangladeshi, I was the first to know the news as a headline news in a newspaper. Later different s We can know through various newspapers, news channels, magazines etc. But nowadays Bitcoin is rumored to be a popular currency all over the world.

I saw first time when my best friend bought a new bike and he said I bought this bike by bitcoin ,and at that time I shoked and I started thinking what is bitcoin?And than my friend explain me about bitcoin,and after that I started taking interest in bitcoin,and now I'm also one of the person who has bitcoin,and I have earned so much money by bitcoin and i hope bitcoin will be the world top currency very soon.

I first heard about it through my classmate and all I ever knew about it is that it is being used in online gambling since he is involved in such. He told us about bitcointalk afterwards and said that it has a potential of bringing us a lot of money in the future. We listened to him that's why after just a few years, we got ourselves into bounty campaigns and it was real, what he told us about the profit which exceeded our expectations. We're forever thankful for him as he gave us the opportunity to learn about bitcoin at a very early time. Now we're still investing in crypto and earning a lot still.

Many of the replies here are due to earning opportunities that Bitcoin can offer, while it was different for me. I first heard of Bitcoin due to my internet curiosity back around 2012-2013, due to how dark web works and I found out that Bitcoin is one of the currencies being used at that level of the web, though it was still a myth on if the layers of web below it exist. Moving on, I kept that misconception of Bitcoin being used only by criminals and I looked harshly into it not gonna lie. Until late 2017, one casual conversation with a friend brought up the "Bitcoin topic" and I was like "oh that is a primary currency used in dark web by criminals, right?" and he was like full no to me and advised me to research it more.
From that I did a research to clear up my misunderstanding about Bitcoin, and upon my first purchase of Bitcoin, I also registered here late 2017 as what you can see in my profile.

I, once again, became paranoid and ask if those "dark web users" are gonna be a thread for us Bitcoin hodlers in a thread here back in 2018. I locked the thread as it is irrelevant and it is just me being paranoid too much.
[Dark Net users as the new Threat? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2846309.msg29197117#msg29197117)]

Someone bought a luxury car by sticking a Bitcoin sticker on the back window. I was intrigued to know his job, then wondered about how he got his money. He said "I got money from Bitcoin"
Finally I searched for information about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
This forum is the most detailed and comprehensive place for that information, starting from the technology behind bitcoin and how to earn money from Bitcoin.

Well uhmmm, I wo see when that was actually, like in what year or era did your friend say this. As, if it were to be about 10 years ago, I would hardly believe it to have any sincerity about it as bitcoin had no real value then but should it be about now, 6BTC is a whole lot of cash and yeah, a lot of persons would more likely be ready to commit murder for that amount. Again, your information of bitcoin being about an online currency that nobody uses is inaccurate as even in the eay stage of bitcoin and I put this to be about 2009-2012, it was actively in use and was used in purchase by some users of this forum. You can find that info on the Parity Party thread.

Again, its the worst idea and not adviced to use Bitcoin for criminal activities. Please, those with this mindset should disease from it. Let's make bitcoin a decent currency and the world a better place with it.

I first of all heard bitcoin randomly from people around and sometimes heard it on news, Buh I fully learnt about bitcoin and started taking part in it when a friend of mine made me know the importance of getting involved with bitcoin related activities, he made me learnt much about bitcoin because I found so much interest in it and wanted to learn more about it tho and  ever since I became so grateful to him because bitcoin has fetched me so much fortune.

An ad about bitcoin? are you trying to say you saw an ad for some service that accepts bitcoin and the bitcoin was somewhere mentioned in their banner?

I would call that a common way to find about bitcoin especially people who are in IT fields is most likely to know about bitcoin.

I had heard about bitcoin for the first time from my friend. He said,He is a bounty hunter and he work free without investment to get payment like Bitcoin. He saw that bitcoin turned into money. Then i learned how to work bounty. Then bitcoin price was average $5k-$7k but now around $40k+. I think bitcoin price will rise in future!

You should really thank your friends, because they have succeeded in getting you interested in learning about the crypto world. Most people who are
not rich, choose to start owning Bitcoin by working as a bounty, so no need to spend money to be able to get Bitcoin. You are lucky when you first enter
the crypto world, when the price of Bitcoin was still cheap. By looking at the achievements of Bitcoin this year,  I agree with you that the price of Bitcoin
will still rise in the future. So don't hesitate to collect as much Bitcoin as possible, so we can make a lot of money, when the price of Bitcoin goes up again.

At first I had no idea about bitcoin but later through one of my friends came to know about bitcoin I learned everything about bitcoin from him. Bitcoin was much cheaper then the popularity of crypto market was not so much gradually I also decided not to work in crypto and achieved success by investing in bitcoin is several times more expensive than before. The demand for crypto will increase in the future thank my friend and I am grateful to him.

The first time I heard about Bitcoin was way back 2014. I just created an account here on Bitcointalk, installed Coins PH and heard about Pesobit. During that time, I was not serious about Bitcoin and focused on network marketing instead. 3 years later, I’ve finally decided and the rest is history. Proud to be part of this revolution.

I also heard from a friend, maybe if he doesn't want to teach and help me get to know bitcoin, most likely until now I won't even know bitcoin, and won't know what bitcoin is, after he taught me about bitcoin, then I have started to open internet, and continue to learn how to play in bitcoin, and invest in bitcoin, and now i finally get profit from bitcoin..

This is a great topic and one I have always wanted to know exactly how I personally found out about bitcoin.  I know that I found out about bitcoin sometime in 2013 and didn't purchase any until very early 2015.  It's funny but I actually had a dream the other night that I had first bought bitcoin in 2012 for like $100 bucks lol..no idea why I had that dream.  Anyhow I wish I knew exactly how I found out about it, but I do know it was 2013ish..I think it may have been through coin collecting.  The Anonymous Mint made 1 oz copper coins that had a bitcoin symbol on one side and something else on the other...I think this is how I first found out about it.

I am one of those guys who didn't took Bitcoin seriously when I first heard about it. And this happened back in 2011, when Wikileaks started accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. And later that year, one of my friends offered me to pay in Bitcoin, but I refused. I got my first BTC almost 1.5 years later, by the end of 2012. I regret about two things - first one that I didn't took BTC seriously in 2011, and secondly because I invested so little amount in 2012. I got 5000x returns so far, but imagine what could have happened if I had invested a good amount when I first purchased BTC.

I first heard about Bitcoin on the internet many many years ago. But I didn't take it seriously back then. After some time passed, a friend of mine gave me an advice to do a good research about Bitcoin and invest into it if I'd like. When I started getting to know more about Bitcoin, everything has started changing. Now, I admire Bitcoin and have a good investment into it.

One of my Facebook friends introduces me to Bitcoin. He is offering some tasks for some people and paying with bitcoin for that task. I agreed to do those tasks, and he set up everything for me. First of all, he tells me to open an account at Coinbase(to receive bitcoin). I open an account at Coinbase. When I finished those tasks, He sends payment at Bitcoin to my Coinbase wallet. In this way, I can able to know about Bitcoin.


After the day, I tried to do google and youtube to know more about Bitcoin. How to spend bitcoin, where to spend Bitcoin etc. I remembered that First I use my Bitcoin to research my Mobile :P :P However, My friend was a blessing. With his help, I can learn about Bitcoin.

I first got an idea about Bitcoin in 2015 through a TV program. Back then most people in the world had no idea about online currency. But I invested in Bitcoin in mid-2017Let's get started. Now I have a fair knowledge about Bitcoin and I have invested all my dollars in Bitcoin.

That's good if you lived where most needed stuffs can be bought with bitcoin which I don't think there is a place like that yet.

Good thing if you're using a service/wallet that can be used to convert your bitcoin into fiat when purchasing those stuffs.

at that time there was a lot of negative news about bitcoin, there were still many people who underestimated bitcoin. me too, at that time I was afraid to try when I first learned about bitcoin from one of the online forums. Then in 2016, I ventured to try to buy a little, with the knowledge base of forex trading I tried my luck in crypto. and it turned out to be really fun. With the support of some friends who have started first, I embarked on a full-fledged crypto adventure.
then began to focus on this forum as well, trying other opportunities as a bounty hunter. there are many ways to earn money from here, we have to try them all.

I first heard of Bitcoin in 2016 as college undergraduate. Someone had been invited (not by the schools' authorities) to speak to the students about it. Then, It was never of any concern to me. I just wanted to study and make good grades. To make a long story short, I picked up interest in it 2years ago when it felt like I was missing out. So I became curious. I'd surf the internet to get information on it even though I didn't understand the technical terms. I'd listen as my friends would talk about Bitcoin. I remember I had a friend who at that point got people to invest in Bitcoin and after sometime they'll get a certain percentage (this business crashed and he was almost sent to jail).

Hearing and seeing my fiery friend tell me about btc got me interested and find out what btc is. The first time I found out about the crypto world I was interested in continuing to learn about it, lots of questions arose when I saw it. How the profit can be obtained, how the risk will be obtained and also how the btc will grow. All of that came to my mind and made me interested in learning more. After I learned more I felt that I was on the right track with learning the crypto world. Investing in btc is a good and profitable thing but we also have to be careful and vigilant so that we don't experience big losses.

My friend introduces this strange name bitcoin to me when we were in college too, undergraduated and at that time we started our journey in cryptocurrency as a bounty campaigners and also an active member here in forum. At first it was strange but being a member of this forum for a long time it made me realize how blessed I am that i've knew this bitcoin and cryptocurrency thing. And now all I can say is it totally change my life and it taught me how to follow the trend of investment.

it's not just you who don't believe me, I'm sure everyone on this forum definitely doesn't believe in bitcoin, because at the beginning of the emergence of bitcoin, many people thought that bitcoin was a scam, at the beginning of the appearance of bitcoin the price of bitcoin was very low, but as time went on, more and more people held onto it. bitcoin, and invest in bitcoin, the price of bitcoin began to rise, good luck there are friends who never get tired of convincing me to enter the world of bitcoin..

I first heard from my boyfriend he is talking about Bitcoin and told me that he invested in some and he gain profit also. He wanted me to take interest in Bitcoin and and also introduce Bitcoin and I was also curious that time to know more about Bitcoin. 🙂

I know Bitcoin from a car sticker that says "I bought this car with Bitcoin", I who know little about Bitcoin because it went viral about 5 years ago trying to start understanding Bitcoin as a whole.
Yes, there are many ways to get money from Bitcoin so that someone can easily get a big profit to buy a car unit with the profit made from Bitcoin.

From there, I became more and more intense in studying Bitcoin to gain knowledge and make this an opportunity to earn money.

So what have you gained from Bitcoin since getting to know Bitcoin?

Will politicians be responsible for the people? Will politicians accept Bitcoin and continue to make Bitcoin more secure and free of criminal activity?

I am full of doubts. First of all, Bitcoin is decentralized. Criminal activities are not the first of Bitcoin. Criminal activities are more convenient and rampant in the world of legal currency. If politicians or even countries participate in Bitcoin governance, will Bitcoin lose its centrality? Bitcoin is Bitcoin, I hope to become more mature, and everyone should not give it too much social responsibility.

I heard about Bitcoin for the first time. My friend said that he bought a few computers to mine. I was surprised, don’t all the ore use large machinery? I gradually learned about Bitcoin. I also mentioned my understanding of Bitcoin in my first post: A ledger that can be unconditionally trusted, universally used in the world.

From online, I've been looking for a job and other ways I can earn only and I come to this scam Bitcoin mining website that only uses browser I did not know what is Bitcoin mining at first and after that I was introduced to this forum and from that I learn a lot about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

I first became aware of Bitcoin in early 2017 when a neighbor of mine invested in it and discussed with me its future prospects. Since most of the people in our country were not aware of Bitcoin at that time, I had no idea about it. On the other hand, since my neighbor is not engaged in any other profession, I am interested to know about it by looking at his way of lifestyle. Gradually through him, I started to learn and understand Bitcoin, and later on, I invested in it. This was really a  life-changing concept considering professional earning in my life.

One day, a friend said that he was cheated by a mining team. They raised funds and said they wanted to mine Bitcoin. After the funds are in place, they said they will establish a separate mine. Unfortunately, they have never appeared since then.

At first I thought Bitcoin was a scam, but as more and more people talked about it in my life, I started to pay attention and gradually changed from the impression of a scam.

Motivating someone who is drowning in a pandemic is really needed, especially for those who have been removed from work or for entrepreneurs who have gone bankrupt due to the pandemic. giving motivation is the same as awakening the soul, so it gives hope that there is another way to get out of this situation

When I first heard about Bitcoin, I didn't understand it, I didn't believe it could protect our privacy. I wonder why it can be anonymous, what technology it uses to protect our information, and why everyone invests in Bitcoin.
Later, after slowly learning about Bitcoin, I think Bitcoin is a fascinating currency, and that Bitcoin is really a great technology.
Now I would also like to recommend Bitcoin to my friends.

I first came to know of bitcoin from a friend. He is a chatterbox and wouldn't stop talking about bitcoin. I didn't fully understood what he was talking about so I made excuses not to buy. After some months I decided to give this bitcoin thing a try. I created my first bitcoin wallet and bought my very first bitcoins

When I just heard first time form my friend about Bitcoin. I just asked him what is bitcoin he told me that it is a crypto currency, asked again I don’t know what is crypto currency he told me that crypto currency is the virtual currency conducted by internet and digital wallet. Then I just start to investigate in online what is it and how it works and what are the advantages of it. After a certain period of time deserve most of the things concerning the issue.

The first time I heard about Bitcoin was 2012, when my brother was trying gist my sister how a colleague of his made a sum of money online..trust me I didn't believe and I'm sure she didn't too. We both thought it was a scam and that it wouldn't last because it was online.
 Not until 2019 when my friends started trading and they really started talking about the whole thing. It didn't take me much proof of it's genuinity before I joined the train.

 :D

in my case in 2016 none of my friends and I dare say that maybe not even 1% of people in my country did not know about bitcoin, I knew bitcoin by coincidence in an ad on a PTC website, I did a lot of research and I confess that not even with the research i didn't understand anything and i made many mistakes mainly i was tricked and stolen bitcoins with scammers from this forum, i also lost btcoins with that disgusting scheme that some scammers use where the person copies an address to send bitcoin but the bitcoin is sent to another address


wow you are old and got to know bitcoin at a time when the price was very low


don't blame yourself because when i met bitcoin the price was $400  :D
