Who was the first person you ever saw using bitcoin?

[Sir_lagsalot]

Hey guys, i was wondering how you guys got into bitcoin. Furthermore, who was the first person you saw using bitcoin, and was it them who got you hooked? Personally, my first experience with a fellow bitcoiner was when I was walking through the mall and a boy was busking for bitcoin xD

What about you?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I know of no one else in my circle of real-people contacts who uses bitcoin.  None of my friends, family, or coworkers use it.  All the people I interact with who use cryptocurrency are right here on this forum.

That tells me btc has a lot of growth potential.

Most likely someone on youtube, while I was looking up on bitcoin. I've never seen anyone use bitcoin in real life though. Couple of my friends are interested in this however, one even bough a fraction of a coin.

Im forget about it, Who was the first person i see using bitcoin
I remember I wanted to top up ninja saga and someone advise me to find dollars from PTC and after that I saw the ad bitcoin and feel attracted to bitcoin  

[~Bitcoin~]

I have never seen people using bitcoin around me locally but i have some friends better to say online friends who are also into online earning field. They have suggested me to take a look at bitcoin and its technology back on 2013. But i was not much interested at that time like today.

I was the first person to actually begin using Bitcoin that I know IRL. I heard of it a while ago a little more than a year before the price rise in 2013. At that time I didn't even think about GPU mining, although I probably should have. I mostly did stuff with faucets. However I did introduce Bitcoin to many of my friends. One of them actually uses Bitcoin very often for a lot of stuff. He is the only person I know IRL that actually uses Bitcoin.

I am the first person I saw using bitcoin I am trying to introduce it to my friends and housemates beginning on creating a wallet and faucets. It's up for them to be more curious about it.  I learned everything about I know now about bitcoins on my own, they can do it also if they have interest.

[davinchi]

I saw some senior members of emoneyspace forum talking about bitcoin in 2012 or 2011 end. They were talking about like a replacement of Paypal or Payza (then alertpay). They are the first people I did see with the awareness of bitcoin. In my friends circle I was the first one to receive a bitcoin payment.

[zencomp]

i got introdued to bitcoin through other social betting site, where  a friend introdued me about bitcoins and its worth, but he was also knowing less and earned little from faucets after that one friend from same site, told me about this site and about signature payment how we can earn big, and now i am in this forum, i have told about bitcoin to my friends but they were not interested.

Some of comments here made me laugh. In reality i didn't met anyone that use bitcoin, what is mkre weird from all the people just 2 or 3 heard about it somewhere. Like I already said somewhere here on forum : I found about all this accidentally, and I still wonder how I didn't saw it before.
Past is past, now I'm hooked and I'm working for my first bitcoin.

[Mr. Big]

I first so bitcoin when I was still writing articles in a website... at first, it was weird to see people transacting in bitcoin, then I then asked them what it is, then they told me it is bitcoin... so i searched it in google and found it and found faucets that pay in bitcoin and also other sites that pay in bitcoin... there  I start my journey until i found bitcointalk..

Same as me really, but I have introduced all my closest friends to them and now they're just as addicted to bitcoin as myself.

[michietn94]

For me it was one of my room mate who was using this forum and when I enquired about what this forum is all about then he explained me about Bitcoin and how it will become the future currency.

[WENGER]

I started back on the GPU mining days wherein was still profitable to mine with them. No one was the reason behind me being hooked to the bitcoin world. I was searching the internet of ways of earning online and it came up as search result and from then, I used it and couldn't be any happier.

honestly,i am the first person who using bitcoin on my college (maybe) and on my family, never seen other people using bitcoin,maybe if i go to another town or country,i will see them.

[DimensionZ]

I found out about bitcoins reading an online article about the matter and got me interested. I have no relatives or friends using it though.

[MTBTT]

My friends started using them. They say that they buy stuff with it at a discounted price online.

That's how i started using bitcoins.

[enhu]

I'm mostly on a webmasters forum before 2014 and there are some threads there that I saw discussions about bitcoin and how they use it to accept fees. I didn't mind it as first but when they mentioned its value was  $1K+ I was surprise. Later I've joined a bitcoin forum not this one yet and so I learned more and move here in bitcointalk.org

NO one in real life that I've met someone really uses BTC except my brother because I taught him.

My answer will be a little funny. I was introduced to bitcoin by.... myself. I have all my experience with bitcoin related only to my activity with it. I had the first contact with it through an (totally) anonymous website which offered high profits if you collaborate with that and in which to create an account was enough to give only your email. No name, no surname, no absolutely other kind of data. You entered your email and then your account was created (showing you the username and your password). Within the site was a proposal (fantastic if reading it) and for the realization of which needed funds. They asked donations and in return gave a founder position in their future built business. They accepted only bitcoin as a donation. Here we are. I was attracted by that I have read in their website (within my account) and decided to become founder. Their give some rows about bitcoin and where it were possible to find other news and places to buy it. All the remain time from this February-March three years ago until today is a continuous increasing relation (in learning and using it) between me and this precious invention named bitcoin.
