My case is similar to some other users, I was first trying to learn more about economics, politics and free market related topics, as a consequence, I found content on YouTube that talked about the cryptocurrency, and this made me learn about the purpose of Bitcoin. But to better understand how the currency works and to make sure that it was something serious, I looked for content with a more technical level on the subject.

Well, now i am really fan of bitcoin, because now bitcoin has cross $1023. I don't think that anyone will be here who don't like bitcoin now. And when i know about bitcoin? Since one and half years ago, i was searching something on YouTube, than suddenly i saw about bitcoin, in that time, i really didn't know about any crypto currencies, so it was new for me, and i started to search about it, and when i know about bitcoin than bitcoin was $285, and in that time i have money, and i bought 4 to 5 bitcoins and recently i sold them, and you know bitcoin really give me good profit.

A friend of me introduced bitcoin as an earning source when I was in additional need of money other than the regular earning from monthly gross income. This helped me to learn more about it and little by little explored more about the truth behind it as a technology. Now making regular saving in bitcoin as well involved in small scale trading.

Even though we live in the internet era as I have read many of the posts of this thread I was surprised that most of the people learned about bitcoin from a friend or a relative and not from internet. The way I see it it shows that the news by word of mouth is still alive.

I first saw it various online advertisement about the services through Bitcoin. I also came through various forum topics about BTC, but ignored it that time. Later after few months, understood all from a person.

The first time i heard about bitcoin is from my geeky friend who discovered this kind of cryptocurrency and in the first few weeks, i don't believe him that we can earn money here on bitcoin but after he shows his profit or converted bitcoin into fiat. It attracts me to try this kind of opportunity and now i can say that i'm earning more than he can.

Geeky people will easier to know about bitcoin, because it is so related with technology. I heard bitcoin for the first time from my brother, he isn't geek but he have a lot of geeky friends.

A very interesting thing, I know bitcoin from friends and he also left the bitcoin after selling 3 units S5 for mining. He's only know for getting bitcoin is from mining so that when the price of electricity is expensive so he sell the units and leave bitcoin.

It was from an online friend when I first heard about bitcoin way back in late 2015. Then he invited me to join in an investment which uses bitcoin as a payment. Later the investment turned to scam as the founder ran away with a big amount of bitcoin in his wallet.

The way I see it it shows that the news by word of mouth is still alive. True, but I personally learned about bitcoin from the news back in 2010 when they showed a man who was mining bitcoin using 4 computers and that motivated me to learns more about it, but I gave up searching and trying to earn bitcoin because I get sick of the faucets that don’t give me anything until my friend showed me this forum, my point is that news and other sources other than the internet plays a really big role in making bitcoin more popular.

I have been exploring the concept of bitcoin ever since I heard it. I spend time constantly improving myself. I heard bitcoin at a time when I started to deal with Forex and Exchange issues. But I did not take much care. Then I started to get interested again with a software developer friend of mine talking about bitcoin.
Bitcoin is really exciting technology.

actually I also ignore some news about bitcoin on television, but the news was more and more turned up and they proclaim bitcoin prices were very high in 2012 and when I saw the price of bitcoin, right at that moment I interested in using bitcoin

I first read about it on a forum and thought that it was a really cool idea but didn't really understand it. I wish I had read about it more because after that I ignored it for over a year before I heard that it ran up to ATH. The classic "I wish I had bought in earlier" story haha

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. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Absolutely, did a presentation about bitcoin for my university class. All the news I get about bitcoin re from here. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Well I've heard about it the first time on 4chan, when the price has jumped to 1300$, then I did some research on bitcoin adn still wasn't clear to me what it actually is. I remember the first time I've found freebitco.in faucet, haha, I used to use it every hour when it became available, later or I've realised that that is going absolutely nowhere. But then I've found this forum, I got a lot more interested, started reading more on bitcoin, watching various youtube videos about it and the rest is pretty much history.
