How did you first hear about bitcoin?

[tripplewarz]

I heard bitcoin through my friend, she really explain well to me how bitcoin works and how it uses and the process as well. I heard bitcoin since year 2015, my friend enjoys bitcoin that time and she earned already that got my interest to join. And, I did own my research about bitcoin, until I learnd and enjoy it too.

i also heard about bitcoin from friend. and he also told me about his success in bitcoin. therefore i also start taking interest in bitcoin but still i am not as much expert in it, because i waste some years after i have entered in the world of bitcoin.

That is alright because most of us already do that kind of decision and they all regret it. I also get interested in bitcoin and because of the low price of bitcoin and even the faucets giving good profits, I still lose interests because of low rate per dollar of bitcoin and then i just got back here last year because i get attracted again by the price.

Seems like most of us has been through the same path when it comes to bitcoin even i was very much interested in the beginning then due to some circumstances i lost my interest and then a year later when i made return to bitcoin i was shocked to see that the value has been increased by leaps and bounces in last 12 months and wished i should have invested more into it.

Yeah we missed the right time to get into bitcoins as I know bitcoin when price was too low in the past but at that time I thought its not worth to waste time and money in it and I ignored it completely but later on when price reached to the roof it draw my attention towards it but till that point it was too late.

but i am not agree witth you, because to me i think still it is the right time to invest in bitcoin. we cannot say that we missed the right time to enter in bitcoin because you still have good time to invest your money in bitcoin and the get a good profit.

I would support you saying that it's st not to late investing in Bitcoins but I also understand those who say that they have missed the perfect moment. Like in everything else so with Bitcoin too people think that there were some better opportunities they haven't used. I'm in Bitcoin world since 2013 and I also have the feeling sometimes that I haven't used all my chances right in that period.
But, yes, it's not to late to enter the Bitcoin world and make profit.

You are absolutely right, and other users can understand that they missed the ideal moment to invest bitcoin. Even not 2013, and summer 2016, when bitcoin price $ 560, it would already be a withdrawal to invest money in bitcoin with today's about $ 1200 for btc.

I heard about bitcoin not because I was surfing on the net, I heard about it by luck because one of my friends since a long time dealt with it and so one day, he showed me bitcoin and when I discovered it, I was so impressed and I immediately wanted to be in the adventure too. Since that day I try to spend time on this forum as much as I can.

[Pettuh4]

I got to know through my family, a cousin had a mine setup in the basement room and then I chanced to see it and then sought explanations upon explanations and finally got yo know the basics through this forum and the rest they say us history.

Well I sort of knew about it online for a long time, but there were some download sites etc which accept Bitcoin and I wondered what it would be like to pay with them.  I researched it for days, I barely understood anything about it for quite a long time but I was very enthusiastic and I still take the same level of interest now - I still don't think I know everything about Bitcoin, and there's a lot more to know and a lot to pay for.

I got to know about the btc from my friend who is using the btc for more than 5 years. he only helped me joining here. last year as you told i was also not having the trust with bitcoin i thought the price increase is less so i sold the btc which still feel very disturb because of the wrong decision. Now i will not sell the btc i will hold until i feel finally yes this is the right time to sell.

Saving bitcoins will be more profitable in future as price is tend to go higher and even I am here only because of my friend who was earning from signature campaign and showed me how he was getting paid and when I saw at incoming transactions in his wallet that made clear my doubt that bitcoin is not a scam and a genuine place to invest and earn money.

The first time I heard about bitcoin was through my friend. She showed us her earnings through her faucet claims and a couple of our friends got curious so she explained how to get the coins. Of course, who wouldn't want to earn that much by just clicking right? She said she got 1 btc from faucet claiming in a month and a half, so me and my partner tried to get that 1 btc in like a month or so. Then 2 months passed and still we haven't got the 1 btc she claimed to get. Realizing it's difficult to get it by just claiming from the faucet and searched on some other ways to get the equivalent to 1 btc and discovered there were a lot of other coins that you could get and convert to btc. And here I am, still hoping to get the 1 btc so she claimed to get in a month and a half.

that was very nice. However, this is 2017 and faucets are not as worth as it used to and you have to pay for the fee in order to withdraw the money. There are various kind of job on the internet and you can apply to it to earn more Bitcoin. You can try it on the service section on Bitcointalk

Yes this is 2017 and I know faucets are not worth as it used to, I've read a couple of articles about it way way back 2009 where it all started. Thank you though, I'll try my luck to see if I could get a job and earn Bitcoins too.

Faucets may be good for newbies but it's worth for the people who been long time in btc. I suggest them to try trading, lending, btc related site and gambling. You could choose the choice according to your wish and need.

Wow 1 Bitcoin by doing faucet is great but I think your friend have a thousands of active referrals 5000-10,000 refferals I think. 1 Bitcoin in 1 and half month in faucet is very impossible if you doing only and you don't have any refferals. But your amount is very big . I tried before faucet but I can't got any big amount I think my payout from faucet is 0.002 -0.003 in a week and I work up to 5hours everyday by doing that.

But the problem here is that some people introduced Bitcoin wrongly.  They open introduced it as some sort of magic money LOL.  Where if a person rush into buying Bitcoin will make them rich.  Reason why other people look at Bitcoin as one ponzi scheme.

If you don't have good knowledge of bitcoins and if you don't have good convincing power then its better not to introduce them to people around you as if you mislead them by giving false information then it can create a negative image of bitcoins in the minds of people.

You are right these kind of people often come harmful for bitcoin rather than beneficial promoters. If they cannot explain well bitcoin because of lack of knowledge then they only have to suggest to them to study about bitcoin from internet.

That's right and once if they start thinking negative about bitcoins then it will become very difficult for to regain trust and may be they will avoid an idea of knowing bitcoins or using bitcoins even if it gives them best benefits.

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?

Share your experience with us.

I heard bitcoin from my friend. His using bitcoin for more than 2 year's. That time i ask him how he earns money using bitcoin?asked so many questions that time and he answered all of it. After that i have been interested to use bitcoin. And now i am really using bitcoin and i am starting to earn bitcoin.

[buharikx31]

I have a friend who's always into new things from new apps, games, technology, etc. and he told me about Bitcoin. I already understood that the central banking system was corrupt and felt that Bitcoin had potential. I joined this forum back in 2015 to learn about Bitcoin.

I think the first time when I've heard about cryptocurrencies it's when I found a video on youtube about no decentralized systems and after that I search for this cryptocurrencies and found that some of them are really interesting and first site I've visited been block chain info

[Xervo]

I discovered bitcoin back in 2012 while searching on Google for a alternative to PayPal.
