I mined 0.7 BTC nearly 2 years ago in pool, 2 months ago I requested payout from pool and then I realized that I don´t know where I created my payout address and I don´t have access to it.
So my first bitcoins are effectively lost. Embarrassed

Now I bought BTC using Bitstamp exchange.

I've been buying on Coinbase for the past month.

If you can deal with the delay - its a reliable outlet.   Withdraws directly from your bank acct. 



I've been doing the same, buying from Coinbase for the last month. My first couple of BTC purchase took about 5 days, now my next purchase will arrive in 3 days. I don't know if they have gotten the logistics together and no can better fund customer accounts. But so far pretty solid

I bought them offline. Transacted them to my own wallet on a laptop in my and the sellers view. waited an hour to be sure the transaction went trough.  Not 100% safe but we trusted each other.

It was a bit of a gamble because I did not (still don't) fully  understand how the seller could have tricked me at that time.

i bought five last year (10USD each) from a friend who put all his money into Bitcoin that time.

He did good think, didn't he? Cheesy:D

If only we all could have had the same intuition!

Are we talking about first full BTC or just any amount of BTC? I mined my first 0.1 BTC before I finally got the courage to buy a full BTC using Dwolla into campbx, all the while still mining, I also made a few BTC investing in BTC funds.

I got my first bitnickel in one of those advertising scams back in 2011, the same thing they have now but instead of 'watch an ad for 11 mBTC' it was 'watch an add for 0.05 BTC' since they werent worth as much
