When did you begin using Bitcoin?

[Dudeperfect]

I started domain name reselling in 2013, and when I was doing some research regarding my business in 2014 I got to know about cryptocurrency (I also made $450+) profit with my bitcoin domain name, and then I started accepting bitcoins, and hence I am here. I have deep faith in this technology and believe that this will change the financial lifestyle of the world.

2013 ? are you sure ? yes you certainly many knowledge about bitcoin and what did you buy with bitcoin?

As I said, I started my domain name reselling business in 2013 and I came to know about bitcoin in 2014 (while I was doing some research for my business). I registered on this forum on 24-07-2014 to sell my bitcoin related domain names, I accepted bitcoin in deal but converted it to fiat (to reinvest it).

There are not a many merchants in my country (I am not sure if there is even a single merchant in my town) so I am not able to spend my bitcoins offline and hence I spend some online and keep rest of the bitcoins in cold storage.

As far as knowledge is concerned, I consider myself a newbie and that's what makes me greedy to seek more and more knowledge.

I began using bitcoin early 2015, I just bought a few to test how it works and created my own paper wallet. Then I started sending a few satoshi to some exhanges to trade altcoins.  I realized i could earn money trading aside from just buying and holding bitcoins, so i bought more bitcoins and focused on trading.

I started in 2014, well, I just knew about bitcoin then and researched some of it and did few faucets, never continued doing any, lol. Then in 2016 I saw a craze of bitcoin over the internet, and started continuing my research, and then knew about signature campaigns, and in no time I joined one Today, I consider myself as someone who knows a good deal about bitcoin.

I also started in that year but I never did something with the faucets, I did some trading back than and also some mining because it was profitable.

Hey guys,

I started using Bitcoin this year (2016) in april.

Now my question for you is:

When did you begin using Bitcoin?

Best regards,

Patrick

I Started Using Bitcoin in 2014 and started  working in it and firstly I tried faucets and collect some bitcoins but then I found that its very time consuming, So I started to find new ways of earning Bitcoins then I came to know about cloud mining and started investing money in it. I also get some profit from mining and then I also started trading and much more things to earn Bitcoins.

I started using Bitcoin in 2014 but never really got involved until late 2015. All that matters is we are here now

Im surprised about the time i joined bitcoin world, it were in the end of 2014, i were a bit confused about the year, just checked my wallet to confirm. That i know because i were doing faucets and its the first payment i got from bitcoins, something like 22k satoshis.

[coolcoinz]

In 2015. I wish it was earlier, like in 2013 before the big boom, but better late than never, right?

No wonder you were confused. 2014 was a confusing year. The price kept going down and many mining companies went bankrupt as a result. Hope you bought a lot of coins, because the price won't go that low again.

I've started using bitcoin that I have had since 2015. I always use my bitcoin for my purposes, and for trading. Well, my goal is to multiply the current bitcoin, so I might be more inclined to use bitcoin fatherly I have for business purposes than just spend it for fun. in addition, it also makes the experience and knowledge I gained

I think it was in 2013 when the price went to above 1000 dollar for a short moment. I read then an article about someone who had a 500 btc from the start, and was now rich. From than on i have been reading a lot of articles about BTC on the web, and started to earn very small BTC Sat; with faucets and so.

[crairezx20]

i just notice that it is more people are joining using bitcoin starting in 2014 to 2016 because of the trending news about bitcoin that the price is touch into 1k value that many people alread been rich when they are bought a large number of bitcoin for a cheap price and sell after 1k value.
For i am started 2015 using bitcoin but honestly i already knows about bitcoin 2011 but i did not realize that bitcoin will be more expensive right now..

I started using bitcoin this year also. It was April 8, 2016, a Facebook user introduced me about bitcoin because he read my comment in a discussion showing interest. I am so happy that he shared this to me, the biggest opportunity I ever had online so far.

[eternalgloom]

I've been using Bitcoin since late 2012 - early 2013, but not as much as I do now.
I kinda regret not getting into Bitcoin earlier, but I did make a nice profit during those times.

The forum was also more fun back then

wow, that is too early and it seems if you save during that time you have a big profit now

For me, I just started early this year of 2016. So far it is great that it gives me opportunity and extra income.Since 20012 I already read article about bitcoin, but still I have no idea how to get it.

I started using bitcoin around december last year 2015. I can't pretty much remember what day I started using bitcoin but I clearly remember why I am using bitcoin now. I began using bitcoin because I wanted to gain some extra money via internet without the need of doing something illegal. That's when I started to find ways how to earn money online and I found bitcoin, then I started using it knowing that I can get some money using bitcoin.

I started using Bitcoin a little over a year ago. If I had known the currency before, I would probably have invested to acquire a large sum. I think that in the early years few people had contact with Bitcoin, this is probably due to the fact that there was not much publicity for the currency at the time.

That's right. People were very skeptic about bitcoin in its early years because they thought it was a scam but then as the years passed and bitcoin's reputation arose, they started to enter its world slowly and cautiously.

It reminds me of The Guardian article that I read when I first joined the world of Bitcoin. It was about a Norwegian man who bought $27 worth of bitcoin in 2009 (equalled 5,000 bitcoin at that time) and completely forgot about them, until the widespread media coverage of bitcoin in 2013 jogged his memory then he discovered that his 5,000 bitcoin worth $886,000 (damn lucky!).

As for me, I started using Bitcoin before the Bitcoin bubble and when the price was around 70 USD per coin. By "started", I mean I create my first Bitcoin wallet and go around filling in Captcha to get some free Bitcoin. I stopped because the "salary" from faucets is too low to keep my interest. I came back in 2014 during the down-fall of Bitcoin bubble (around 600 USD) and learnt about signature campaign. From there on, I continue as a loyal Bitcoiner despite the price dropping below 200 USD and then come back to 700 USD today rates.

I start in 2013.

You really witness the history of bitcoin, you must receive a reward for your loyalty. If I were in the time you know bitcoin, maybe I will be a millionaire now because I am willing to take risk and buy those cheap price, it has only proven that bitcoin is a strong asset as after the fall down it rises again.
