What's your story, how did you become interested in Bitcoin?

[cluit]

I never had interest in bitcoin, I thought it was same kind of online currency like paypal or alertpay. But, later I decided to listen to my friend about it, I came to understand it a bit, then I started claiming free satoshis from faucets, then later I decided to start investing in bitcoin when I discovered that it has value.

Though when I started picking up interest in bitcoin, I nearly became discouraged, because, I thought I would have made lots of bitcoin from claiming satoshis in faucets, then later my friend thought me how to mine Bitcoin myself, so I decided to start mining alt coins.

Well honestly your search should've rightly ended up in an internet marketing forum and not here. There's a lot more info over there regarding making money.

For me I've heard it on the news, that was way back 2013 during the boom. Researched a lot about it and the rest is history.

Your sister save your life 
Having bitcoiner's women around you was so awesome mate since finding them interested in bitcoin is so difficult.

I became interested in Bitcoin when I heard a bunch of guys making fun of it at a dinner.  I then heard about the crash of SilkRoads and the Bitcoin that was sold at auction.  I did not think nothing about it and blew it off for the longest.   About 6 months ago, I started to do some more research.  I have not been able to put it down since.

It being a time for story telling I will contribute mine, it is the season of giving after all.  

I first heard about it on the local news broadcast about a virtual currency that will be making leeway soon and will be worth 50 cents each coin. I didn't think anything of it since I said to myself how much value would this virtual currency be if they cost this much and they would only be used to pay for online services like video games or small things on ebay or amazon.
Then 3 years later I hear that they are being used to pay for actual items at a store in a European city and they are worth $1000 each. That peaked my interest a little bit after hearing that they were more widely accepted not just online and the increase in price did as well.

[sukamasoto]

Its all started when I accidentally found bitcoin while I was searching “earning passive income from home”
After a few articles I read, I still hard to believe that this kind of currency can stay for long, but I thought who knows I can earn some extra from this bitcoin, then I started to join many faucets, ever want to quit because being scammed by faucet, but finally I found 1 of friends that also interested in bitcoin, so we learn together how to earn more bitcoin
Up until now I am very satisfied with the profit I achieved from bitcoin

I made my Coinbase wallet in mid 2013. I didn't get any bitcoin, I didn't try mining (2001 P4s and TNT2s don't mine BTC well), so I just opened the wallet as a novelty until a week ago. I started mining and I slapped myself when I saw the surge in prices in Nov-Dec 2013. I am going to stop by a Bitcoin ATM and deposit some money into my BTC wallet there.

[momy]

ive become interested in bitcoin when my sister endorse it to me.  i think at first that its just a waste of time. but in time i guess im wrong.

[Sir_lagsalot]

Faucets. I've always been intrigued by free money :3

Turns out though, they don't pay out very much xD. All they say is "Free bitcoin", not satoshi.

I then started mining until my laptop died, moved to bitcointalk at about the same time I invested in cloud mining and got into a signature campaign.
