How did you get into Bitcoin?

[crazyivan]

This is one of the first questions I get to be asked when talk to people about BTC, how did I get in?

My story s simple, in late 2012, I had an extra PC and I started browsing make money online forums to find something to do with that machines. People suggested botting, social signals etc., and one day someone suggested to mine BTC. I got into mining and have been into this beautiful economy ever since.

What about you?

This question asked many times before, I got into bitcoin when I found about this on news and online websites.

Found it as a Rewards on a gaming site and reading further into it before coming hooked for life.

When was this? If it was in the news, you must ve been quite late to the game.

I think the first time I probably heard about it, was when I was in the market for a new gaming card {gpu} ... I had a very good card, but I was looking for something faster and

better.. you know the story... You always want the bragging rights for having the best and fastest gaming rig. I wanted to sell my old card, and a guy at a LAN party asked me

why I wanted to sell it, if it can still make me some money from it? I was intrigued and he started to tell me about Bitcoin mining.... this sparked my first interest.   ... I  

invested into gaming... and only invested into Bitcoin later.   ...These types of videos became popular on youtube :

I was later to the game when I took it to heart; previously not believing this btc as a real possibility.

If I would have believed I would have kept a wallet somewhere for if this came up on the news. I

began to work on faucets and altcoin mining to sell them for bitcoin.

Unfortunately only at the start of the 2013 bubble when the price was around 500 USD.

Heard of it before through a Dutch tv show that showed how to buy hard drugs using silk road and bitcoin, but at that time I thought 15 USD for a bitcoin was way too steep (as I knew nothing about it). Briefly looked into how to mine it, but it all seemed too complicated at the time.

way back 2012 i didnt know ive been mining BTC for others. i remember playing rangnarok online and the private server owner ask its users to run some applications and we will get in game rewards by running it daily. the first time i broke my 8400GS videocard due to BTC mining cause of over heat.

at first I was like looking for an online business, and my target is actually a google adsense, but it is very difficult to find dollars with Google Adsense, so I'm looking the other way, and I learned bitcoin, it is very easy and good bitcoin in use. I think that by the end of 2014

because i loved mining back than when it was possible, and i mined my first bitcoin with a gpu, since there i was searchign to learn everythign about how mining work

I got into bitcoins through another forum (online earning same as you) back in 2012. someone in that forum told me i can earn bitcoins from coinurl and then exchange bitcoins to usd. i earned a few mbtc from coinurl, since then i've been earning bitcoins from various places.

Hehe, yes, I remember reading about it even during early 2012 but at that time I thought, "WTF, magic coins which can be mined??", yeah, sure. So I passed on that offer. It was a mistake, BIG mistake.

From a news report on TV... then I started reading up on the internet and find it really interesting. Still accumulating bit by bit and hopefully I can achieve my goal of 1 million bits!

I was actually YouTubing about how to get my Paypal verified (since I was under 18 years old that time) and I couldn't make a bank account or anything then I felt on this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7opj5-32hw
then I started reading about Bitcoin and here I'm now (All that happened in 2014 so yes I'm little bit late but well .. )

mid-2014, I saw my friend post earnings from bitcoin, after that I started finding out what it is and how to get bitcoin

[helloeverybody]

I honestly cant really remember, i think it was possible a while back i was reading on overclockers people speaking abut their mining rigs and i thought to myself "what the hells a mining rig?" . After reading all the comments people had made i realised id missed the boat on mining these bitcoin things but id already been bitten by the bitcoin bug. And here i am today.
