I first read about it in a blog (I think it was mentioned on "the Oil Drum"). After I learned about it, I set google news to include a section on bitcoin, so when news outlets run bitcoin stories I see them there too. Back in 2011 I mentioned bitcoins to my brother (he is into stuff like open source programming, he is the only one of my family or friends who used cryptography before I did), he said he had heard of it the previous year because somebody wanted him to invest in their ponzi scheme, and he never looked into it in much detail. Heh, I should go mention to him that bitcoins are up something like 1000% from when he first heard about them.
