Why do YOU know Bitcoin?

[Betwrong]

First time I heard about Bitcoin in 2012 when 1 Bitcoin was less than $10. I was told by a friend of mine that there is such thing as Bitcoin which is something like Internet currency and that it costs $5 or $6 USD I don't remeber exactly. Since the man was much younger than me, he was around 16 at the time, I thought how he could know anything worth attention? I was wrong apparently.

in fact, I've long to know bitcoin. but I only know his name, because it was very much in the existing advertising on websites. and I thought it was a lie, and in 2013, I was already using bitcoin

Early 2012 I already knew of the existence of bitcoin but I never really bothered looking into it since  I was young and I wasn't really interested in online money-related things. Then at some point in 2013, I kind of got interested in it but still, I was young.
I asked for my mom if I could maybe buy even 0.5 bitcoins just for the heck of it but no. My mom didn't want me to do so. Then here I am now, getting bitcoins and somehow regretting that I didn't get to buy even a small amount back then.

In 2011, when I was 14 years old because The DeepWeb.
I didn't care much about it until 2015, when I see how much was the value of Bitcoin and its story on a chart. The volatility was amazing.

Then, I thought "this shit can save my life". I began trading in March of this year.

[sulendra12]

I knew about bitcoin on 2 years ago, when i accidentally surfed about "how to make money free".
And i see about bitcoin, first i try to got bitcoin with faucet. I feel get bitcoin with faucet is so good , coz i don't know about satoshi and this currency before.And then i ended here,when i learned about bitcoin here.

I know bitcoin first time when me and my friends hang out together and 1 of my friends bring his laptop and open a bitcoin wallet. i asked him about that and he tell me what and how it works.

First heard about bitcoin in 2010, at a conference on cybersecurity in Prague. I was amazed and immediately started studying, which was difficult for the lack of information back then. When I fully got it, I started teaching and making presentations about it, which I still do.
Nice to look back at the first presentations I did, citing a value of one figure

I was searching for something to play, I don't know how, but I saw bitcoin somewhere and started to read about it. That was in august last year, I`m still reading and learning, and of course earn a bit more then 8 months ago.

Why do I know bitcoin, well in beginning it was just something amazing and unbelievable, later I saw casinos for bitcoins, poker... now I love bitcoin. It make things so much easier for me in that area. I have some friends abroad now we send money each other with bitcoins.

All this time I wonder how didn't I see it before, I`m using internet so many years and I never saw or heard about bitcoin before that day. Its really a surprise for me, and I don't know how could I miss something big like bitcoin. Well what to do, its never too late I guess. Bitcoin is still young.

I heard it from a friend. I was curious about it and started searching online for articles and videos. That is how I learned about bitcoin.

[hasiramasenju]

i was heard about Bitcoin from my friends because they had already earnings bitcoin but only using faucet sites and since that day i was more concerned with bitcoin and till now i had very comfortable using bitcoin in my daily life

The first time I heard about Bitcoin is from the internet, but I'm really into Bitcoin when I was in Junior High School. My friend told me about it, but at first I'm not too interested.

I had different experiences with Bitcoin, but I think the one event that triggered everything, was when my credit card information was hacked on a centralised service and they made a lot of debt. I was

desperately looking for some alternate payment method to buy online, that could be more secure. I spoke to a friend and he introduced me to Bitcoin... problem back then were.. the sites I wanted to

buy from, did not accept Bitcoin... now they do. Then I went down the rabbit hole.... 

[Denker]

I read about Bitcoin the first time around mid of 2012 I think.
It was an online article of a tech magazine.
As many others I haven't realised it's potential at that time. Then I forgot about it and the next time I heard and informed myself about it was in late 2013 after the mega bubble.God bless I was smart enough not to buy any coins at that time. Before I started to play with faucets and bought my first small amounts of BTC I tried to inform myself about BTC as much as possible.Since then I'm totally fascinated by it and got sucked deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.

Initially I came to know bitcoin as an earning source. Later myself learned and understood the reality of bitcoin as a digital currency with strong technology backing.
