i think it was a talk show where a geek was talking and explaining some basic things about about bitcoin. i knew bitcoin before that, but i was purely seeing it as an investment. due to that geek i went a bit further and started seeing bitcoin as being more than just an investment.

In real life I have seen no one using Bitcoin. On the internet, I think the first use of Bitcoin I ever saw was in a forum where some guy was selling a steam key for a game in exchange of Bitcoin (not this forum, some other forum about games), and I completely ignored it back then, I had no idea what it was.

I know of no one else in my circle of real-people contacts who uses bitcoin.  None of my friends, family, or coworkers use it.  All the people I interact with who use cryptocurrency are right here on this forum.

That tells me btc has a lot of growth potential. Cool

I spoke to an acquaintance on the local YMCA steps and he was at least aware of BTC. I was glad. Now I have a new fellow in town who traded

something with me and we both mine coins. Nice to know at least of 2 people in town aware and one mining this shizz.

Me neither.
I hear that some coffeeshops accept it, but i never went there to see it in real life.
Online many of my friends already paid me with bitcoin.

When I sold my old iPad the buyer asked me if he could pay with bitcoin.
And yes he came to my house paid for this iPad with bitcoin.

It's a strange feeling though, I remember checking my balance every hour because I was afraid he was scamming or something...

My friend used to make a lot when it comes to the trading of the bitcoins. he however was so reluctant in sharing the information. He thought that it is a business that will one day come to and end and thus did not want to have any blames on him. he has been a good friend to me and has also been acting as my mentor when it comes to bitcoins. I did not really believe that i can make a lot of money from this whole thing of bitcoin until he showed me the way.

Hey guys, i was wondering how you guys got into bitcoin. Furthermore, who was the first person you saw using bitcoin, and was it them who got you hooked? Personally, my first experience with a fellow bitcoiner was when I was walking through the mall and a boy was busking for bitcoin xD

What about you?

I first learned about bitcoin in 2013, and it is still relatively new, because bitcoin was found in 2009, I think I was the first person in my town who use bitcoin, therefore I never saw anyone else using bitcoin before me.

...

My first use of Bitcoin was receiving some from someone I do not know from Zero Hedge well over a year ago (when they were following the price spike up).  It was a tiny donation, but enough to get me started.

My first time spending BTC was when I bought a tiny amount of gold with it.

Other than that, NO ONE whom I personally know has ever used it.

Do I need new friends?  Smiley

i know bitcoin for th first time when i am in college,my friends give me article about bitcoin,but they never try to looking for bitcoin,and not believe that bitcoin can traded with money,so i am the first person who use bitcoin in my town (maybe) because i never see another people use bitcoin,but as long i use bitcoin,i know some people in my town also use bitcoin,but i never be friends wih they all.

The first person using bitcoin was probably at an online earning forum, offering users to register at their new exchange and giving users 0.01 BTC to try the site out and send/receive different payment methods "0.01 BTC was worth few cents at the time".

One of my colleagues in High school around a year ago, was talking about a virtual currency and how to use it and it's advantages, did not follow the details at the time and just got back to bitcoins.
