When did you start?

Never, at least not yet

I was talking to a coworker on my software team about currency manipulation and howto profit from it and he said theres an upcoming ecurrency I should check out but dont invest because its too volatile. It was around $50 then and I switched from Forex where I actively participated in the ForexFactory board and told them to switch to bitcoin and got laughed at. However as price jumped in April I decided to take the plunge when prices dropped.. however by the time my wire went thru and I was verified with documents which took an extra long time since I had to renew my passport and update bitstamp with the new passport I had to settle for $120 to buy... could have waited as price dipped below to $60 weeks after. Anyways I dont bother with Forex anymore its really gambling over there but it helped me learn how to identify opportunities by looking at charts. That gift will help me for sure in the future here.

I was aware of Bitcoin probably going back as far as late 2009, early 2010. I finished by thesis in Anthropology last year on Makerspaces/Transhumanist movement and I was very close to writing it on Bitcoin, as one of my committee members works in the anthropology of central banking.

I am kick-kick-kicking myself that I didn't invest a year ago. Because I knew was it was and I knew the potential it had.

I literally just bought it. Ah well, at least there's an opportunity once or twice a decade, if you have the foresight.

I first heard about it sometime in 2011, I think it was on the freetalklive.com fourms.

You should have someone cut off your legs and have them use your legs to kick you in the butt many times over, because they were going for less than a penny back then, it was like how many hundreds of BTC for a penny, not how many hundreds of dollars for a BTC.

I heard about them a couple years ago and was in reference to silk road. Brushed them off and didn't even think about it unfortunately. Heard again at the beginning of 2013 and didn't buy my first until May sadly, I soo nearly got a few in January. That bothered me for a while until the recent climb!

I've heard about bitcoin ~2 years ago, more in terms of "pyramid scheme" warning though. Then I forgot it. Then 6 months ago when I had some $$$ which needed to be put somewhere else than sitting alone in the bank account, BTC popped up to my mind again.

[AllTheThings145]

I first found out about bitcoins after the $30 crash, during its recovery. I remember that I thought it was absurd when bitcoins hit $10/coin. I sold tons of the coins I bought earlier. Now I realize how much of a noob I was then. I now realize Bitcoin's power rather than just bitcoin.

I can't wait to see what the future holds and I can only hope I look back at this from a few year from now to say "I was still a noob then." I love learning about this stuff and I can only try as hard as I can to become good enough at programming to be able to do what Gavin does.

I've known about bitcoin for a long time.

Just started mining last month. 

It's a fun hobby for me.

I'm only running block erupters so I probably will never make a profit.

We heard about it early of this year, 2013; in February-March-ish. It was from our neighbor. My wife and I never took him serious because his wife left him and took away his kids so we thought he was having mental issues.

He discussed almost everything related to this bitcoin. At the end we forgot about it.

In October going to work, UK, I picked up a paper call 'Metro', and it says where I guy bought bitcoins, forgot about it for few years, and now he cash it for about £500k~. Then I took it very seriously and planning on creating a platform for buy/selling bitcoins

Dude I told you BTC was awesome! and she was a bitch, I'm not crazy nor do I have mental issues!

Earlier this year, around April-May.

[GillyPony]

I learned of bitcoins about 3 months ago.

I mined for a few weeks or so and gave up.

Since then, I've just been gambling to stay in the bitcoin world.. lol

[gekkomk]

Few months ago, was causality reading a newspaper online, then curiosity and now i'm really interested and excited about it.

[bigassboy]
