How did you discover bitcoin?

[chesatochi]

I always love the subject about money and naturally I came on this topic on the internet via the google search engine. I wanted to know more and I read two books, then I created my wallet and the rest history.

My next step will be to learn programming in order to understand the source code

a couple years ago, apprx. 4 years, I was home and trying to find a game to play after a hard and busy week. So While I was watching a gameplay video, I decided to look comments about the game. There was a comment chain about bitcoin and the discussion was very fierce. I didn't quite understand what was all about and searched web for bitcoin. My English was not that good that time, and I know very little about finance, currency etc. So I couldn't get any clear idea.

So for sake of curiosity, I created a wallet. Then I started to collect some bitcoin from faucet. It was fun. The faucet gave me 1 bitcoin for every turn.

I can't quite remember how much bitcoin I collected that night and the following day. It was about 100 bitcoin I guess. But as I said before, It only fun back then...

Now I have a wallet, but have no idea where is it.

Better try to learn programming to create a digital coin or could learn to create signature. These things to equip you and make you earn money here in the forum.

I first heard about Bitcoin from my friend a few years ago.
Unfortunately, I was stubborn and stupid and didn't trust it.
I became believer when I heard how much my friend earned from his Bitcoin.
He suggested me to come to this forum to learn more about it.
I'm happy to be part of it and feel sad that I didn't join before.

I don't believe in miracles, I believe in coincidence. I don't believe that I found the bitcoin, I sure that the Bitcoin found me. And after that, my life has changed coin after coin. It was like salvation.

I saw some faucet about Bitcoin and I dowoaded a wallet and started doing faucets. When I saw that it wasnt going pay some money, I gave up as I thought it was the only way to earn it.
I have accidentaly found it again a year later, when I was browsing some site that was giving away and selling bundled Steam games. When I was heading to the paying methods page I saw Bitcoins as a way of paying. I remembered that I used it and then I started to get deeper in it and started earning it.

I watched a video on bitcoins and it made me interested , but i had no ways of getting bitcoins other than faucets lol

Someone introduced Bitcoin to me. Although, I might have heard about it before but just didn't pay attention. I think that's why we can't be sure who introduces Bitcoin to us, you know. We could have heard about it a lot just going through the news but there had to be something peculiar for us to notice it one day.

To be honest my friend told me this stuff a long time ago, so I created an account here in bitcointalk but I easily give up and quit on doing it. Then this past two months I've seen my friends was earning a really good amount of bitcoin and I was jealous that time. So, I went back on doing bitcoin again, I didn't quit easily like the last time and right now I'm also earning bitcoin like my friend.

     First time I read about bitcoins was when broke $1000 threshold on 27 November 2013 and many people had started to speak about it. After that price crashed to $600 at Dec 2013 and I stopped concern. After Mt. Gox heist Feb 2014 start to concern more actively with it and daily active when I showed some merchants to accept it instead of fiat money for transactions

I discovered Bitcoin through hearing about it on the news back when it was hitting the ATH. I spent a few months farming away at faucets seeing if there was a way that I was able to go and make some money off of Bitcoin, and I eventually ended up on this forum doing a lot of freelancing and a fair amount of other services. I eventually hit up a signature campaign, and here I am, 3 years later.

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. 

I think that most of people here have seen bitcoin on advertisement or on google search.

For me it was accidentally discovering bitcoin as I was searching something in google and bitcoin appeared there like an ad.

If i remember it was something about how to make money online and I'm very glad that I have learned about bitcoin for those years.

I discovered Bitcoin accidentally by pure luck. Months after Poker Black Friday, April 15 2011, when the US Dept of Justice shut down the major online poker sites, I was searching for any new poker site to play on that accepted US players and didn't suck - ie where you didn't have to wait 5 months to half a year to withdraw your funds/winnings. I found Seals With Clubs poker site that used bitcoin and accepted US players without the need for any type of verification and had instant deposits/withdrawals.

I bought a bunch of bitcoin without really knowing much about it other than that I could use it to play online poker with quick deposits and withdrawals and that I could convert it back to US$ relatively easily. At the time, I didn't even know or really care that much that it's value could increase (or decrease). It was only after bitcoin value shot up in value by over $100+ in less than a day that I began to realize that oh wow, this bitcoin thing is pretty cool. Maybe I should actually see what this bitcoin stuff that I have is all about, lol.
