I was wondering how'd you discover or know about bitcoin? Did someone refer you? Did someone show you what you did? Through the news? Share something here.  Cheesy

Ive  know  bitcoin  because  i  saw  it  on  social  media site which some members  do  post  on  investments   like  hyips or doublers then i got  interested with  it   and thats why  i engage to bitcoin but  later  on  when i already gained  enough  knowledge  i knew that  those  doublers are  just  scams  but  i still thank that thing   because  i  knew bitcoin  because of that,

I read an article on a blog about Bitcoin at 2011, I can't remember many details now but unfortunately for me, I wasn't smart enough back then and decided that I wasn't interested in this project and missed the chance to be one of the early adopters.

Well, one famous rapper in my country advises people to use bitcoin because he believes that the Government will collapse soon and when the Government dies, our Fiat will die as well. It was pretty funny that most of them believed on him and either did i.  However, it took me about 2 months to decide to listen to him and took me another 2 months to know how exactly the Blockchain system works. Anyway, if i did not join the bitcoin world, i would regret by now

The mastermind of internet, google uncle Grin who let me know about this unique thing before a year or a little more ago when i was looking for some good online earning opportunities and i came across bitcoin, the thing that attracted me the most was its price which was huge for me at that time though it was too less than what it is right now but it was the biggest price i have ever seen for any currency in my lifetime.

I was introduced to Bitcoin by a drunk nerd at a party... I call him a nerd, but he knows my intention is pure. {joking} ... We started a

conversation about money, and he said... Do you know Bitcoin? .... and then I went down the rabbit hole. I bought my first bitcoins from him,

and I still buy from him.. { He is the richest Nerd I know }  Grin

I was introduced to bitcoin by one of my friend who have been into bitcoin usage for a long. Initially it seems to be something different to believe but once entering the forum got to know about all its advantages and its potential. From that I too started earning and use bitcoin as well taught to few friends around my native town.

I don't remember, maybe I see some article on facebook or things like that but I don't started to use or read more about, so after some years I don't know why I start to use and well, that's the future.

I think a lot of people around the world knows about bitcoin but just don't use it yet, like me in the past.

Back in the days when CPU/GPU mining was still possible, I wanted to buy a new Gaming accelerator card. I Googled the different options and by accident stumble onto a video on Youtube of people using GPU's for Bitcoin mining and they were making money from their hardware.

I thought this was a crazy idea, that you can play games with the hardware and when you not playing games, it can be used to earn money. < effectively paying for the hardware > In those days, these cards were very expensive.

By the time I bought my hardware, GPU mining were not profitable anymore, but I got hooked on Bitcoin. ^smile^

That's a pretty interesting way to discover it. I'm envious that I haven't discovered it right away. Bitcoin is cool Wink

I was wondering how'd you discover or know about bitcoin? Did someone refer you? Did someone show you what you did? Through the news? Share something here.  Cheesy

It happens when I told to my friend that I need some extra income then he introduced me to bitcoin, Teach me some basic stuffs and his source of income.

At first I didn't believe it.  I thought that my friend was trying to lead me into some pyramid scam (AWWWW) but fortunately it's not because he showed some proofs.

And them I started doing some things that he does also for bitcoin like being active here.

I was a student investor of Chris. His next course was about trading bitcoins and altcoins. That was when I really got in contact with crypto currency Smiley

Back before I knew about Bitcoin, I am a online website that uses free domains like .cf and .ml and free software like MyBB. I do not have access to online payment such as credit card or paypal. One webmaster at ForumPromotion then introduce me (not really specifically me, but a thread about Bitcoin) to Bitcoin. I then spent the next few hours reading the docs at Bitcoin.org and find Bitcoin to be the currency that I have been looking for a long time.

I downloaded MultiBit the next day and generate myself my first Bitcoin address. I start collecting Bitcoin (since I do not have online payment access) from faucets and micro-earning sites.

Today, I am a proud Hero Member at Bitcointalk. Smiley.

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

I discovered bitcoins because I always lurk around the internet and I really really want to earn money online back then. As a student, the greatest position to have in life for me was to earn money while studying. It teaches us to discipline ourselves, manage our time, and enhances our thinking when it comes to planning hectic schedules.

I might have searched "How to earn money online" more than 20 times before I finally found something that really pays. Most that I've been on was paying using Paypal but there are also people talking about bitcoin. I wasn't interested back then because I thought it was a scam and I'm too lazy to read articles since I'm already earning some money. Eventually, I had time to burn and so I searched bitcoins and that's how it all started.

I discover bitcoin last few months ago. My friend share to me about bitcoin, how the bitcoin can be used, how bitcoin important and how bitcoin really help to the user in a simple way. But at that time i just ignore it, i thought it was just nothing, i thought it is boring but im wrong. Suddenly i never expected that im curious about so what i did is research about it and now im part of it Smiley.

My friend introduced me about bitcoin and he told me advantages as well as the benefit which it brings to users. And after hearing his course, I was fascinated by Bitcoin and started to learn about it. There is a lot of information on the Internet so it took me around a month to discover and find useful information. Thanks to his course, i have never ceased studying about bitcoin.
