How did you get into Bitcoin?

[1Referee]

Some friends in late 2012 were mining with their home PC's and told me about that you can earn money with your GPU. I gave it a try, but 24 hours of non stop mining brought me nothing worthy of my time, so I left. When I cam back in very early 2013 I bought my first coins because I couldn't mine them. That's how my Bitcoin journey started.

I just searched "old school coins trading" on Google in 2011 after when I was first introduced to Bitcoins by Google itself...
It was the day I checked this thing out, had belief in Bitcoins, but left as my father wasn't agreeing with me, I asked him to buy me a load of coins for $1k when the price was cheapest...
Today, I regret I should have managed the money from somewhere else, I could have been a millionaire if not a billionaire at the least...

Have you ever explained your father what he d missed? If yes, what does he say now?

I was searching on internet for new forums to join & learn and found this forum bitcointalk, then learned about bitcoin and invested some money in early 2012, bitcoin was my best investment with huge return, my golden day

I have also heard about bitcoin in 2011 to 2012 but at that time i hadn't care about it too much (my mistake) as i was quite busy in making money from PTC. But when mining become difficult and price was high i was back to bitcoin. I miss the chance of being early adopters.

My friends introduced me to Bitcoin in 2014. Ever since then, I have been in love with it.

I heard about bitcoin in 2013, read some about it. Many accused it to be a scam later so I did not give a damn about it. 2 years later, found out some of my colleagues are earning a lot trading bitcoins and it sparked my interest. I entered late in the scene, but better late than never, right? If I have known that bitcoin is the future, I should have engaged earlier.

i got into bitcoin like two years ago when i saw it on my local news, i thought it was pretty interesting thing to check out, and im interested in it even to these days, though i have never been a serious investor and i never put into bitcoin more than i can afford to loose

[a7mos]

Well, I knew about bitcoin from a blog about earning money online last year. I started earning some cents from faucets and games but I stopped because it was boring.
And now I am holding my btc as an investment hoping the price will rise more

Roaming on the internet and found accidently the word 'bitcoin' which impressed me and then i searched for bitcoin. Then i'm here after may redirection

[mobilestrike]

I read an article in a newspaper about a big scam with bitcoin, got intrigued and let's I am here!

Through a friend of mine, Len Sassaman, he mentioned it once to me back in early 2011, didn't do much with it back then but rediscovered it in 2012 - 2013.
Haven't looked back since..

At the end of 2013, A friend of told me he made about $10K USD from mining bitcoin.   Like an idiot, I jumped in and bought a bunch of bitcoin miners and also a few bitcoins at the top of the market.  To date, I still have not recovered half from my investments.

[Gloober]

I first got to know about bitcoin a couple of years back but I didn't think that it would grow as much as it has to date.
I only got into it last year, seems late to some people but I don't think it's ever too late to invest or to earn bitcoins.

Bitcoin word first time I heard from a friend in middle of 2013.That time all was seeming unbelievable and like dream.He kept insisting ans in couple of month I began to take interest in Bitcoin and since then I am fully in this amazing innovation of the last few hundred years.

[BlackPanda]

I love the world of technology. and I think that bitcoin is today's technology. I like bitcoin because bitcoin is a technology.

I heard Bitcoin mining can earn a good profits in 2013! And I I bought an  ASIC and start mining! Until now.

What was your initial investment, if you do not mind sharing this info? It must ve been huge since you still have not been able to recover it after more then 2 years.

I got into it after I saw it had gone over $1000 each on the news. Each time bitcoin makes the news more people must hear about it like I did, and some of them will get into it. I'm annoyed I missed the chance to be an early adopter, but most bitcointalk members feel that way.

one of my friend introduced me to bitcoin from other game site, first the site which he introduced is quoinpro, but it was very very less bitcoin and that too that site was a scam. after that one more friend from the same site to whom i told about bitcoin and he told me about this site and how he is earning from signature campaign.

after coming to this site i got so many information of bitcoin and its technology that i got addicted and now i am earning nice from signature payment and getting more knowledge.
