I got into it after reading a story on metafilter.com back in mid-2011 about how bitcoins were being used to trade illegal drugs on a hidden Tor service called the Silk Road.

It just clicked for me then. Bitcoin wasn't just some silly nonsense, people were actually using it to facilitate real trade. I immediately dove in a bought my first 50 bitcoins by using the SecondLife -> Virwox method.
