For me it was 2013 when it was worth just above 1000$ seeing how the value had gone from under 1$ to over 1000$ was just so amazing, I though it would just increase more and more  Anyway i'm really glad i started using it, so when did you first hear about Bitcoin and what did you think about it?  |

2011?! Have you bought some of this that time? If yes then you are rich now! (Myself heard of it since mid-2014, but I own my very first coin at 2015) |

I heard of it at late 2013- early 2014, however I don't trust in it at the beginning. Starting at early this year I started to gain trust and so I am joining the community.

Some point in late 2011 or 2012. A friend heard about it and got really excited, and brought it to my attention... At first, it made no sense to me at all - i was like "digital money? You mean someone could just find their wallet file, duplicate it and have twice as many coins? Yeah, sounds like a great idea"...
Over time, I learned more about it and started gaining a legitimate interest. We (my friend plus one other) combined our funds and build a GPU rig and mined for a bit, then we went on to become some of the first orderers from BFL... Still took a year to get product, but our miner was received in July 2013... Then, watching the difficulty rise, I convinced them to sell (we had a few jalapeños we bought for $149 i believe... maybe $199...), and sold them each for between $800 and $2000 on eBay.
Haven't mined since. But yeah, I've been watching this for a while...

I first heard of bitcoin in 2013. Back then I wasn't paying much attention to bitcoin and thought it is just small internet curiosity. In early 2014 I created my account here on bitcointalk and since that time I am here.
Now I wish I knew about bitcoin in 2010 or so...

Late 2012 / early 2013 was when I first heard about bitcoin, I think wikileaks had just started using it for donations (due to the payment blockade).
Wish I'd done more research into it back then, only glanced at bitcointalk and wrote it off as a fad.

I think i heard it way back in the time before it was worth even 100 USD. Too bad I saw it always being talked about next to criminal activities therefore ignored it all the time. Damn journalists. |

I heard about it pretty early on from a post on Hacker News it seemed interesting and I downloaded it. When the blockchain download started I had no idea what was going on. I left it all night and in the morning saw it still hadn't synced. So I uninstalled it.  I kept hearing about it on HN and through a friend who used the Silk Road. On the rise up to $200 I got really interested again and actually began using it. |

I heard about it when some mainstream news tv channel (forgot what one by now) made a small mention of BTC when the price exploded at 1K surpassing gold.

I don't know at what time exactly, but I remember it being around $10 back then. I remember thinking "$10?! That's a lot." and never bought any. Oh the pain...

I got to know about bitcoins in 2013 but wasn't interested in it as Bitcoins are not legally recognized and there were only faucets and coinad from where I could earn bitcoins. Later in 2014, I came to this forum and started learning new years of mining bitcoins and earning bitcoins for small jobs and campaigns.
