How did you first hear about bitcoin?

[Dudeperfect]

I am domain name re seller and while I was exploring some domains regarding latest trades, I read about bitcoin and in that period, I also bought some domains. I sold one domain here on Bitcointalk and received payment in bitcoin. This is where I first time heard about bitcoin and fortunately I was able to cover a deal in my first month of bitcoin.

I just hear it last year when my friend told me about bitcoin and im quiet curios that hes earning money and supporting his education with it which is really a great thing and that's why I tend to research about bitcoin and luckily I found out this forum which gives me more knowledge about bitcoin.

The first time i heared about Bitcoin was in Class, when our topic was Digital Signatures and Hash functions/Proof-of-Work Concept.
Our prof mentioned Bitcoin and the way it worked (Compressed in like 2-3 Minutes).
In the same lesson i started googling and found this forum..
Then i registered on a site which payed satoshis (i think it was a site containing 30-40 faucets).. Then after i didnt got my payment
i registered on this site, looking for help
I came looking for help, and stayed because i liked it

I discovered Bitcoin early in the morning in 2012, the price was really high and I was way too young to understand Bitcoin. Rediscovered crypto this summer

I heard from Dark Net. Exactly from dark markets. I have curiosity about illegal stuffs. Dont use them but have curiosity. The accept only bitcoin so i heard first this way. Then research what is bitcoin and i found myself in a deep world.

Still browsing in dark net but lookin for how can i buy electronic products with bitcoin in safe. I dont trust them so still cant shopping.

Lots of people in my country know bitcoin like that ''Dark net currency''. In my perspective bitcoin can not fit in to a frame. More than this. Im so grateful to Satoshi

Now i understand why people say ''In Bitcoin We Trust''

in my city, most people know about bitcoin for information by word of mouth. Well, I think there are also some people who know because advertising. but most of them give up just because of the difficulty in collecting bitcoin. Well, I know bitcoin as social media, or facebook, and I felt that it would be very interesting.

My first hearing about bitcoin was a long while ago. Around 2013/2014 but I really did not give it much attention due to the fact that I had this premonition that everything that have to internet earnings is 90% scam couple with the experience of my friends who did liberty reserve and all the popularity that got as at then. I just zeroed my mind until 2016 when I had more time to really understand what it is about and I am still learning and if I had known I would have taken the chance earlier.

[Gromozeka!]

Once I saw Bitcoin logo on my friend's computer desktop. I am interested in it and began to dig in the network searching for information. But it all started with just a logo.

[noel2123]

Honestly, I don't know about this Bitcoin and I am not aware that it's existing. But when my friend introduce it to me I'm having doubt because it can be scam or what. But when I saw him earning thru this. That time I believe everything about Bitcoin. And its not bad to take risk sometimes.

[MoneyIsDebt]

I actually i didn't hear the information about  the first time. I only read it in some of my fb groups then i got confused about it and I made my own research. I also did some trial and error and got scammed at first but I learned from my mistakes and now. Im happy with my earnings here

me too read some thing about it on facebook and luckily after sometime one my dear friend thought me about this and online investment and trading through this and i find it very owesome ......

[sotoshihero]

I heard first from a friend and family members discussing bitcoin. I am still a student  and I do not give attention until they encourage me to read here. They even help me to have an account here to learn more. I am very happy with their encouragement, now I am learning g trading also. Bitcoin really a cool stuff to earn and own. 

[abel1337]

My friend told me that he is earning bitcoin, at that time I thought it is waste of time and money but when he showed me his proof of his earnings I really found it interesting.

Me too. My friend influence me to use bitcoin because that time I was broke and I need a source of money that time. That was the time my friend teach me how to use bitcoin and how can I earn bitcoins online. I was happy that my friend told me bitcoin I was saved from being broke.

The funny part about how I was first introduced to bitcoin is that my girlfriend told me about it, not those computer geeks that I know There was a coffee shop accepting bitcoin opened near her house and it had a bitcoin sign on its front door, and after a long time of noticing that strange symbol, she decided to make a research and I was so impressed by it that I couldn't resist the idea of being a part of this bitcoin network.

ohh nice! i think you will get a happy and successful family with your girlfriend because you and her are same hard worker and you and her don't need a real job if you become a parents so you have a time for your kids at the same time earning bitcoins in just at home.

A friend of mine introduced me to the bitcoin world and told me to make an account here. So I did. I wasnt interested initially because of the low price but always loved the idea of it. I knew that the price would grow but I was short on money otherwise I'd have jumped in a looong time ago.
