Post how you found out about BTC.

For example: 'I was on the Aether mine craft mod's homepage and there was a donate button.'

You can include any other information you want; images, transaction records, links, etc.

I will Put the most bizarre (true) stories here. (In no specific order)

1.
A couple of months ago, I was looking at ebay to look at copper bullion since I collect them as art. I saw one that said "Bitcoin". At first I thought it was a mint, or an alternative bullion currency like Lakota/AOCS. I Googled it and haven't stopped reading since.

2. Good start, but we can do better!

that's not good, i found out bitcoin when Im browsing the net and trying to figure out what it means, I saw this forum and have some readings and I notice that you can earn profit just by doing easy task so I tried it and the next thing I know, I have a regular job.

Googled for digital money back in 2009 because I lost some money and trust in stocks/banks because of the financial crisis in 2007/8, stumbled into this forum.
Until then I 'mined' protien with Folding at Home project (url).

Mining now for almost a decade...time flies Cool

A good friend of mine told me about bitcoin but I didn't pay attention until he made a huge amount of money, so I have to ask him again.
