How did you first hear about bitcoin?

[Ponzi Shame]

I have been involved in the interesting world of online business for almost a decade, but I do not remember precisely in which forum someone commented on the potential of a new digital currency called bitcoin. I read his information with some interest but unfortunately I did not get more involved, and that was about 2010.

Based on my experience, well I am not really a big fan of bitcoin until my brother teach, instruct and share the knowledge for what he knows about bitcoin. At first, bitcoin for me is like a waste of time BUT for now that I realized what and how to use bitcoin and now that I put all my time just for bitcoin.

Are you a bitcoin fan?
Do you spend a lot of time on bitcoin? Reading news, trading, or even writing your own analysis.
But how did you first hear about bitcoin?
Is it some articles you read about? Or just from a friend who has traded bitcoin for a long time?

2 years ago I didn't trust,  the bitcoin I heard from a friend and he always said crypto currency and at the end of 2016 I heard if a hacker ask bitcoin to a commercial company as a condition to free the website he hacked and then after that I became interested in bitcoin and do research and observation what is bitcoin. i'm so glad to know about bitcoin it's like lost treasure

Yeah I first heard / read about Bitcoin from a newspaper article and then around a year later a friend sent me one of my first bitcoins

at first i thought that bitcoin is a scam because you can earn without any profit? How it might happen? but i was very curious what is bitcoin all about and how is it actually doing, and then i found out that you can actually earn here base on your knowledge and also your skills.

I first found out about bitcoin, as if I did not believe that bitcoin could change a person's life from being poor could become rich. I have seen the actual evidence from my own friend, who can get what he wants from bitcoin.

I heard about bitcoin a few years, but drew attention to it only when at the beginning of this year he overcame $1K, and everyone was talking about it.

I was onto it in 2013 and was involved for a good 3 years then sort of died off around 2016 due to other commitments. Im back into Cryptocurreny in general with a bit more focus on the altcoins but as always Bitcoin is king.

I use to read magazines about computers and there was some articles about new digital coins.

I first hear bitcoin I guess is in my class wayback when I was grade 10 or grade 9. But I do make sense about 2 years later on. When I first hear about bitcoin is that, I only knew it is a form of money to be use to hire killers, or for exchanging some unlawful like drugs or so on it was use only in Deepweb. Deepweb catch my nerves that I read a lot about it, so by that I somehow understand bitcoin. In this year, one of my classmate taught me about this work I did not believe first because I cannot figure out why it can be use like this. But I tried to put some attention about this and it surprised me that it really works.

The way I have recognized bitcoin was by just a mere accident because I have just overheard it from my classmates when we are taking a break at the school cafeteria and that was the time that I have first heard bitcoin and due to curiousity because I have heard that bitcoin was coined as a "cryptocurrency" wherein they get their money they are spending for their stuffs. Because of wanting to experience the same thing like them, I started doing researches to established my own understanding so that I can start gaining income of my own to also sustain my needs and wants with the use of bitcoin.

I first knew bitcoin from a friend I used to not know because I knew my friend by chance after meeting he taught me how to get to know bitcoin how then he showed this forum to me then while reading the article that is here and continue developing until now

I first heard about Bitcoin at a family office investment conference in NYC in late 2015. Wish I would have bought BTC then! A guy was on a panel titled "Alpha investment strategies." About 15 months later, I went to Switzerland with him to speak with Swiss family offices about Bitcoin and Solar Energy...of all things! A couple weeks after I got home, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about investing in Bitcoin inside an IRA. I decided to try it.

I discovered bitcoin first time the end of 2012. I was surfing in the dark web and i saw it as a payment method and i did a little search to find what is it.

I've heard little information on some website and I became interested in Bitcoin. Unfortunately there weren't many websites where it was explained precisely how Bitcoin works. Yet, one of my friends knows literally everything about Bitcoin (i haven't had an idea that he does). He showed me how it works and encouraged me to improve my knowledge about Bitcoin. Lucky me.

I knew about BTC with my friends that already uses it like traders. They introduced me to this world of cryptocoins and I never went back.

[thunderclup]

I'm not sure the exact time when I hear about bitcoin but my friend tell me about bitcoin and he tell me everything that I don't know but I learn. I'm welling to join that's why I used this crypto currency I think I spend a lot of time on this to earn a money.

it is very interesting for me when my friend told me about the bitcoin and its value in the present time because through this we can become successful in the world and now the trend is changed people now come to the view that they want to invest in the successful currencies. for me bitcoin is very important and interesting regarding profit. my friend gifted me first time a small amount of bitcoin after that i love it very much.

A year ago I saw a message on Facebook about bitcoin. Then I looked at Google for this. Then I knew about it. I saw the video on YouTube to find out its better.
