It was 2013, November- when the news about the very first ATM in Canada was on TV.

Somewhere in 2012 it was featured on a Dutch tv show showing how to use silk road to buy drugs.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize the potential of bitcoin at that time, because bitcoin was only 10-15 usd then.

I became aware of Bitcoin in around late 2011 where in mining using GPU's were still somehow profitable and regarding other crypto currencies, I never really check for other online earning ways until it just popped out into my newsfeed by accident at around 2014 I guess. That's when I got notified that many other crypto currencies exists as well.

First heard it way back 2010 but ignore it as there not much information about bitcoin then,what I mean is there are no mention that it will be the currency of the future then rediscover it 2013 when many people online are now mentioning it and the price started to skyrocket should have involve bitcoin way back to 2010 when price is way to low

That was year 2014, but I don't really have used bitcoin I tough it will go down and is not that great.
But after I have tried like Faucets and Altcoins I love using it. So know I am just doing bitcoin as a hobby to earn more money.

I believe it was 2013 to late 2014. My friend made a post via facebook and it got me excited about trading and stuff. Didn't make a BTCtalk account until an year later though.

That's really bad, imagine the number of coins you could've buy back then Tongue

Anyway, i was introduced to Bitcoin back in 2012 when i wanted to buy a HumbleBundle games and then i saw Bitcoin as their payment options
I started my own Bitcoin collecting through faucets, back then it was really easy to earn $1 through faucet Tongue
I remember that i have a dream that i will collect $500 alone through faucet which is stupid idea Tongue

2011
the first time when i started to use the bitcoin, from the faucet.
though bitcoin was not popular that year, i started to learn about bitcoin. Smiley

out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded
i am not really active for some reason

I was aware of it since 2011 - 2012 but I wasn't getting into it until maybe 2013. It took a while because I didn't believe bitcoin would turn out to be what it is today.
I see now how much potential it has to grow as well as me investing in it and how much I can take out of it.

I can't remember exactly what year it was, it seems so long ago that I came to know about Crypto Currency
It was a couple of years ago when it came on the news, which is really rare still to see
I started reading about it and from there on out I've showed interest

Actually at the year 2013, but I didn't do anything about bitcoin I tough it was to difficult to do.
Also I didn't have some kick about the money that you can earn with it. But when I saw Bitcointalk and the signature campaign I see why people use bitcoin. For just posting something you can earn money. Not other forum that you can't earn anything.
