First introduced to it, by a friend in about 2012, and I thought he was crazy. Mine was the 7th of September 2013 - It was a Saturday and I was watching Youtube video's out of boredom on the internet. I saw some young guy explaining Bitcoin mining and bragging how much money he was earning. Google followed and I started to research this wonderful and disruptive technology. I bought some Bitcoins that same day. It was only about a year after that, when I stumbled onto this forum, and I joined.

I received 5 BTC from Gavin's faucet. I generated my first block the following day.
WOW 5 BTC, I wish I could be in your shoes I don't remember exactly when I first time heard about BTC, probably in 2012 or beginning of 2013 but I was skeptic in the beginning and didn't join. When I heard more news about it, specially when my friend told me how much money he earned in BTC I finally become serious and joined in April or May 2014. Now, I'm sorry I was not involved much earlier

Very easy to find my first date when I buy my first bitcoins. It is registered. I bought those at virwox (according to the advice of one my friend) and was 13 April 2013. Were only 2 bitcoin and the price was about 31 us dollar. So stupid!!! Must bought 100 (if I had the money).

very large faucet that time ? very sorry not joined at that time Wow 5 btc
WOW 5 BTC, I wish I could be in your shoes Great!! 5 BTC from a Faucet? I have bad luck for not finding BTC at that time.
Yeah, it was 5 BTC at the time, protected only by a simple captcha (no e-mail required). Check it out here. However, remember that bitcoins were worth much less back then. The rate at bitcoinmarket.com (Mt.Gox didn't yet exist) was 0.012 USD/BTC, and this was an all time high! (up from about 0.006 USD/BTC at the beginning of the month). One could only trade at this site in multiples of 100 BTC and I bought this minimal quantity later that day using PayPal (1.35 USD in total I think). Trades of 10000 BTC were commonplace (I remember at least one 10000 BTC sell order I could have so easily met but decided not to ). Bitcoin's difficulty was only about 24. It was not long before it jumped up to 45 but even at this level, and with just 200 khps (0.0002 GH/s), I found my own block on the 13th (50 BTC) and another on the 15th (50.01 BTC).

I honestly can't even remember when I bought my first coin. It's long gone now any way and I can't remember what address I used. 2010-07-12.

The question is did you keep it or did you sell it soon after?

You gave away 50? wow Yeah, but those 50 BTC were only worth a couple of dollars when I parted with them. I remember giving 150 BTC to my friend to get him started and 200 BTC to torservers.net later in the year. My friend sold all of his bitcoins the following year when I parted with most of mine and he was pleased with the surprising gains. By the way, are the dates in your first post meant to be dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy? Just to clarify: my Bitcoin Birthday is July 12th, not December 7th. PS: You can format a list [list] [*]foo [*]bar [/list]
just as well as [list] [li]foo[/li] [li]bar[/li] [/list]

My spare CPU cycles were dedicated to Folding@Home when I first discovered Bitcoin but I decided to split my limited resources rather than switch over. Do you remember your total khps? (before the significant hashrate-boosting client upgrade later in the year).
