Just today, I was on the bus and I was fiddling with my OTG cable to send a transaction on my phone with my Ledger wallet. I looked to my right, and what where the odds? The guy next to me was doing the same! We started talking, and we just kept talking!

What are the odds of you meeting a bitcoiner IRL?

P.s. I was not taking into the window.

I was also using my ledger hardware wallet(HW.1 model) on my samsung through OTG cable but people didn't noticed what I'm doing or simple they didn't care because they don't know about bitcoin or simple think that I'm a nerd or a hacker, so until know I haven't found any bitcoin IRL.

Ayyy HW.1 buddies! Besides the guy on the bus, ive never met another fellow bitcoiner besides the people I introduced bitcoin to. I can proudly say I've added a solid 5 people to the bitcoin network.

well, you never know but i'm willing to bet myself one bitcoin that i don't randomly bump into another user within the next 1-3 years. where i'm at color television's considered a pretty cool new thing.

if i ever did meet someone who was a fellow user i'd love to hear their story and how they got started. we'll really know things are on the up when it's not even worth mentioning any more.

In my country, BTC geeks never go out of their house and unless they play pokemon go, its very hard.
If I meet someone, I have a lot to learn.

You are lucky having 5 'referrals' that joined the bitcoin world, unfortunately until now I wasnt able to bring any new bitcoiner maybe because they are not interested to risk their money or they are not informed well about bitcoin(bitcoin is many times mentioned that is used only for criminal activities, which is not true)

Dude, that's so cool.  I've only met a couple of people who've even heard of bitcoin.  But then again I dislike talking to people.

Chances of me finding a fellow bitcoiner in my city is negligible.I dont think I would even find any fellow bitcoiner online from my city although it has more than 3 million population.I am in lots of local whatsapp and Facebook group and occasionally keep posting bitcoin news but nobody responded yet

I find it rare to find anybody in my church group let alone any one in public places as a fellow bitcoiner.
It is a strange occurrence to that happen to you on the bus.  Cheesy

Amazing! That had never happened to me, but then I'm not very often in a bus, and I don't have a smartphone. And if I had one, I know I would never use it to make anything financial in a public place where some guy could look above my shoulder.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

Thats a good point you've made. Why would you want someone seeing anything you are doing on your smartphone to do with money? Even using your cellular service to do anything financially is risky in it's self.

I work with computers, so every once in a while I run into someone at work who knows about Bitcoin.
Most people have heard about it, and every few months or so I talk to someone that actually owns some BTC or does a little bit of mining etc.

I met a guy a couple months ago that bought a bunch of coins when they were $1 each.
(Needless to say I'm pretty jealous of him!)

I personally do the same with my ledger wallet. People around me don't know what it is, so I am totally safe. But if bitcoin became more well known, my ledger will not leave my house.

looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that

Recently had a conversation with a senior person of my company about the innovations that's trying to conquer more people. On this occasion he started talking about bitcoin, which I never expected. Also he have got good knowledge than me about bitcoin.

We have a team (my friends IRL) , and registered as referral on some sites.
For bigger earning and can make quick the withdrawal process , i think it's such a good idea.
But recently ,it's very rare to meet people who knows about bitcoin.

P.s. I was not taking into the window.

I found a fellow bitcoiner, or maybe more of a cryptocurrency enthusiast, from my town. But the funny thing is we have not met in real life. We just have common friends and I see him only here in the forum. I knew it was him because my friend told me his screen name here at BCT.

That's cool, until i seen the "p.s" i did think you may have seen your reflection in the window.
I have only ever meet other bitcoiners at meetups and hanging around bitcoin ATM's, both likely places to meet.
