I first heard about Bitcoin in a news release in 2016, where there was a report on the elimination of a coin-mining farm. I wanted to know in more detail what bitcoin is and I applied for information on the Internet, and later I met people who were involved in investing in cryptocurrency.

I have a job that, unfortunately, does not bring me a high income. But I have always had a desire to make good money for a comfortable life. And quite by chance a friend told me about bitcoins and that it is fashionable now. Of course I'm interested in this topic and since then every day I spend on different forums for the study of cryptocurrency, and it's crazy I like. Besides, I like it even more when I started getting real income.

I don't listen to negative things about btc because as for me it is the trustworthy system which will replace our standard currency with time and we need to invest in it at the moment

It's simple - I learned about it from the Internet. Fortunately, I immediately got acquainted with quite experienced investors who helped me to choose good coins for investment, helped me to choose a good wallet and told about different investment strategies.

Two years ago, an acquaintance borrowed money from me and did not give it away for a long time, and then offered to return Bitcoin and I was forced to find out more about cryptocurrency. I agreed to take the debt in bitcoins. Imagine how happy I was at the end of last year.

a very interesting story, and MMM is ponzi, even until today. even though MMM today accepts transactions using bitcoin, but the characteristics of MMM are always ponzi.

in my opinion, you are part of the person who is actively looking for information about bitcoin, and you are very lucky, you are out of the Ponzi world and starting with the crypto world.
my advice is don't stop to explore any information about crypto to increase your knowledge and join the crypto community in your country.

INTERESTING POST COLLEAGUE! I was also a member of that MMM( Mavrodi Mondial Movement). Even though it was a ponzi scheme, but the returns were awesome especially when you traded in bitcoin at that time.

Anyway, I first heard about bitcoin in 2013, at a seminar in my school. I was so scared to invest because everything I heard about it was perceived imaginable. But now, I have tasted and enjoyed the benefit of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. believe it or not, I am a strong advocate for cryptos.........

I heard it from my friend that encourage me to try, he even give me the Bitcoin to try to cash into the bank, at first I am not really interested because I have been cheated so many times, and I am one of the MMM victim, so at that point I didn't have any big expectations, but when the price keep on going up,that is when I became serious with Bitcoin, and now I already start to enjoy the result of my work

I came across Bitcoin when I was still new to telegram and found out about some telegram bots claiming to give out Bitcoins which later turned out to be false, later on someone in a group I was on WhatsApp sent a link to a group filled with people who did airdrops that was where my main journey started

How I heard about bitcoin started early 2015 when I was searching for means in which I will use to earn some money to help support my schooling because I'm an undergraduate. So I was introdue into an online business by a friend called MMM (As of then I never knew it was ponzi) the way it was presented (mouth watery bonuses) made me to engage in it fully and started marketing it. I became successful at it made some cool cash too.

When it became famous in my country I decided to explore all its benefits then I saw an advert of BItcoin I picked interest because it was offering 50% ROI monthly while my local currency was 30%ROI. So then my journey began in the Cryptocurrency world.  I became fully a Cryptopreneur January 2016 after my wanna be cryptocoin called TBC (thebillioncoin) failed me. I have made some few mistakes afterwards but I can proudly say, me picking interest in Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) from a Ponzi biz,  is one of the most smartest move I have ever made in my life.

How did you hear about bitcoin?
It is interesting that you found about bitcoin through scammers and instead of letting that experience marking you and your opinions about bitcoin, you decided to let that aside and concentrate on the good part which was bitcoin, let me tell you that is not easy and you have done great since there are many people that lost money because of their own decisions and instead of accepting them they decided to blame bitcoin for their mistakes and they missed all the profits they could have made if they decided to let those feelings behind them.

I heard that this bitcoin is used for the ponzi program so that it will make the price of bitcoin very high considering the movement of the price of bitcoin when there is still a ponzi program that can trigger the price movement of bitcoin.

Anyone know if MMM is still running after the death of Sergei Mavrodi? I think this is the biggest Ponzi scheme linked to Bitcoin and the one that has done the most damage.  Roll Eyes I am glad to hear that something positive has also come from this Ponzi scheme, but the sad part will always be that there are only a small percentage of people who makes some profit from these schemes.  Angry

I am one of the lucky people who were fortunate enough, not to be exposed to these Ponzi schemes as a introduction to Bitcoin.  Tongue

I first heard bitcoin from my brother. he invited to participate in investing in bitcoin at that time the price of bitcoin was still $ 100. but I refused because at that time I was just fooled by the ponzi scheme My MMM suffered a big loss. My work money was $ 3,000 lost because of MMM. since then I'm not interested in investing on the internet. but at the end of 2017 I was surprised when my brother was able to buy a new car from the results of a bitcoin investment. and then I was interested in learning and after I learned I understood that bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that can be used as an investment tool. then I invested in cryptocurrency.

I have never heard that bitcoin is a ponzi system or fraud, because from the first time I joined this forum I did not have money but after joining this forum, I was able to get knowledge about bitcoin and get results from bitcoin.

How did you hear about bitcoin?

It is also 2015 when I heard about bitcoin then I just ignore this thing. All I knew that time is we can earn real money through bitcoin but I don't know how. I heard it from a friend of mine who is very addicted to crypto that time. I am unaware why but time passes by I discovered that she is already earning big because of crypto.

even I was far before 2015, before bitcoin was too famous like that year. I had heard bitcoin, but the news about bitcoin was not as
negative as after bitcoin began to boom. so I heard news in early 2013, and I didn't hear negative news like bitcoin is MLM, Ponzi, or somthing like that
