[israrjee]

Heard from one of my friend about three years ago but both of us were unable to realize the potential of bitcoin in coming future.

I felt funny when I hear about bitcoin and thought it is just a bull shit but when I started learning from YouTube about its history and records all things made me understand bitcoin potential and that become my best choice to choose.

Yes, I'm a bitcoin big friend . I spend a lot of time on it for me to know more about bitcoin. So I do searching in the google and here in the forum. I hear this kind of currency(btc) because of a group in the facebook. So I tried it because are people using bitcoin will became rich so that I asked them how then they answer me. In first I didn't understand but later on I understood already.than i reading other social site.. facebook and twitter and youtub.. than
My brother told me about bitcoin. He thought me all the basics about bitcoin. He told me that all his workmates earns big because of bitcoin and that encourage me to try bitcoin. At first I was skeptical about it but the more I learn the more I got interested. Now I am also earning money because of bitcoin and that is a huge help for me because my job doesn't pay that much..

I have also the same story like you because i found bitcoin in the social media and because of the power of my curiosity, i do a lot of research and surprisingly it brought me here and because of that thing, i learned a lot of things about bitcoin in a faster way and now i am earning bitcoin because i also learned that i can work here.

 How did you first hear about bitcoin? The first time I heard BITCOIN from my friend, here's the story: seeing my friend who has been successful with bitcoin, my friend's life became a bounty hunter so I tried to join BITCOIN which is very promising for the future. Alhamdulilah until now I've bought a car from bitcoin

[baydewant96]

The first time I heard about bitcoin from my bitcoin friend, he explained to me what bitcoin was and the gain gained with bitcoin. Initially I was still hesitant, but after seeing my friend's income with bitcoin so I became interested to learn bitcoin in order to get profit like my friend or even better.
But until now I have not spent all my time in bitcoin because I'm still in college and bitcoin is still limited for extra money, maybe someday I will spend my time in bitcoin as my capital to make my family happy later

I heard about bitcoin jst a month ago and I really love it...Also i want to earn bitcoin by doing some bounty campaigns..

the first time I heard about bitcoin was in March 2013.

I knew some basic economics and basic computer science. Here is the exact article where I first heard about bitcoin. I believe that there is only three concepts that you need to know that makes bitcoin interesting:

You can't have a currency that uses something that is not rare.
Computers are very good at copying things.
If no one is in direct control of something then everyone using it is in control of it.
I recognised these things and was fascinated, immediately and began mining. I'm not saying I understood everything about it, it took me a good 2 months to actually understand how it worked. In this time I would constantly referred back to the white paper and try to make sense of it.

I am very invested in the success of bitcoin now and it scares me... maybe beyond want I am willing to accept.

I heard it already even during the early days. I only started buying bitcoin when it was already a bit popular and some of my friends also trading it.

I've read the following The Economist article back in June 2011:

I've even tried to mine back then, but my laptop was way too shitty.
