What is your Bitcoin birthday?

[Soros Shorts]

Around 8/2010 I solo mined two 50 BTC blocks on a Dell 2950 server but I never saved the wallet.

One of my current wallets goes back to 4/23/2011 where the first transaction was a payment from Deepbit. This is my official born again date that I can prove.

I've known Bitcoin since 2011. Unfortunately, in my first approach I thought it was another big ponzi scheme...
Later in the end of 2012 I got some time to read about bitcoin and got to read Nakamoto's paper... and That's where all begun...
That's when I finally understood what bitcoin was all about and it certainly wasn't no ponzi but rather a technology that had the potential to disrupt the current financial system. Since then, I have been completely in love; I have been living intimately with bitcoin... and I might say... I wish I could have known her before...

I first started earning bitcoins in October 2014 from faucets. They did not pay a lot, but they were a good way to quicky earn a few bitcoins. I won't say it's the best way to earn coins but it is good for beginners.

sadly mine was the call of duty modern warfare 2 era (2009?)..... I would let the pc mine while I was at work and tried playing COD when I got home and the pc couldn't take it. Winter came around and I was too bored so I turned the program off to play (at the time they were pretty much worthless, not much to do with them either) and the hard drive has been reformatted many times since then. OCT 2013 is when I got back into it.

lol.  Turned it off to play games.  Hilarious.  If you left it on, you'd have 50 million today.

May 2010

Setup five Dell Optiplex 745 Core2Duo in May 2010 that I switched over from a SETI project that was run over night and on weekends.

By day they were regular office slugs

Ha, most wise.  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).

Absolutely!

I was estatic I was getting 2.0 mhs per machine before the update.

After the update I was getting around 4.8 or so per machine.

You gave away 50?  wow

I once formatted accidentally over 12,000 BTC.

Artforz gave me 10,000 of that early on.

Keep in mind, BTC had essentially no value and no real place to "sell" them back in the early day.

No body was mining it and getting more if I wanted more was fairly easy.

That's why I laugh when people claim Satoshi instamined LOL

There was zero motivation at that point.

I am not too old to know bitcoin, the same as when creating an account of this forum September 03, 2014..

[Saruman]

My "bitcoin birthday" is somewhere in March this year, when I bought first time with fiat (the same month I was born )

Wow, initially more than 10% of the network!

I'm sorry to hear that.  That must have been annoying.

[bryant.coleman]

It is a little bit confusing.... I received my first Bitcoins (a few mBTCs) on August 19, 2012. It was my friend's birthday and he was giving away Bitcoins for free to everyone who is in his FB friend's list. Stored my first Bitcoins in an instawallet. But lost them when instawallet closed down.

That said, the first time I purchased Bitcoin was in 11 February 2013. Purchased BTC10 on that date.

[AtteJ]

March 8th 2015 was the day I bought my first bitcoins.

[amiryaqot]

First time i invested in bitcoin when it was it's price around $70 in May 2013 from donkeymails a ptc site, that site was offering to invest in bitcoin and get huge profit so i saw major raise in price i came to this world in November and got addicted to this innovation, so my first bitcoin came in late May 2013 not remembered the exact date.

[lahm-44]

well its very hard to tell when I 1st bought a bitcoin I just remembered that it was in February of 2010 but I don't remember the date maybe it is around 20-25th ..but its a good question

[Jeremycoin]

I don't even know when, what I remember is I get my first coin last year. Or... maybe.. 2 year ago

[fryarminer]

ok, so I finally looked this up in hopes to jog my memory to remember a password. (Not working!)

anyway, I first started using bitcoin 5/31/13 when I set up my first bitcoin address: 18cG3ezs13umiyPZR8ZrKHr2VWN91iK2Qd

[Herbert2020]

i can't tell for sure about exactly when i started with bitcoin, but my registration date here is closest time to it so i guess i started using bitcoin by buying my first bitcoin in early September of 2008
