My friends told me about Bitcoin in 2013. But it was really only in 2014 that I started to earn and use Bitcoin.
why is there a gap? are you're not interested first after a friend told?

Even I joined the community after 1 year of gap, as at initial stage I was not sure whether to get into bitcoins or not, so I researched and then finally made a decision to enter the world of bitcoins.
Even I have a very large gap in between learning about it and actually using and earning bitcoin. There is this fear about something we do not have full understanding. For me, I waited until there is someone actually profiting in it before I jumped in.

Yeah some of us needs some proof before taking it seriously. Some just tried it from the start. That is why experience is needed when you want to explain what bitcoin is to a relative or a friend.

I first heard about the bitcoin on the news, when I saw it on the news I was looking it up on the internet I was very interested in it and now I'm using it.

I think the bitcoin has a very bright future if you ask me, I think its the future.
if I had to guess. TV news broadcast about bitcoin prices skyrocketing. is that true ?

I first heard about it on the news, they where saying bad things about the bitcoin, but that was in the past I think they will now be a lot more positive.
And the fact is bitcoin is used by criminals but every currency is used by criminals right ?

Yeah, that's true criminals uses all kinds of currencies for their criminal activities, but I don't understand why news channels focuses only on bitcoin and not on other currencies.

The first time I heard about it was on a podcast. I remember being in college and thinking it was the coolest thing. There was a lot of excitement but also a lot of, "this is so new no one is quite sure where this is going to go."


Much like a lot of people I do the whole, If i had only invested XXX I would have XXXXXXXXXXX. I like to call it my 8 million dollar mistake.

The first time I heard about it was when I was with some friends skyping, they told me there was a new currency upcoming.
One of my friends was already involved and so I came up here and I must say I have no days that I regret it.

Sounds like my 2013 story lol.

I actually read a cnn article it said about bitcoin price something related, then related with mt.gox back then when they were trying to form partnership with dwolla the payment processing company.

The first time heard it on google where I was searching for various online jobs to earn money, and then I came across through bitcoins, and started to collect information related to it.

your story is similar to mine, I also heard about btc for the first time in a blog about earning money online and he mentioned bitcoin faucets which was my start with btc, and was a waste of time also Cheesy
