How did you hear about Bitcoin (From Ponzi to Cryptocurrency)

[Dark_raven007]

Work on the land brought a penny, there was not enough for anything. I was looking for somewhere to earn money. First he understood the trade, there were successes, but a penny. Then Mamena's friend told about the bitcoin and the company in which she is. And so it was.

I heard it too many times on social media like Facebook.

I heard it too many times on social media like Facebook.

Yeah and mostly was for the promotion of Ponzi or matrix scheme. I bet yeah most people heard about Cryptocurrency (BItcoin)  just as I did (ponzi). The problems now is how do we reduced this?   I know we can't terminate it, so what is the Crypto-cummunity doing towards creating awareness. Hopping to get a reply because this is a very serious issues

Haven once been a victim to scammers, I resorted to getting enough understanding of how online businesses actually works before again engaging in such. I one day overheard a group of friends talking about crypto currency. I drew closer to ask for explanation and that was when I was made aware and introduced to bitcoin. This means unless you get determined and inquisitive, you may lose great opportunities.

the first time I heard about bitcoin from my friend, before I was not interested in bitcoin, but my decision was wrong, I just joined bitcoin in 2017, in my opinion late, because bitcoin prices have started up, if I were earlier then I can buy bitcoin at a cheaper price.

I was able to see the hype of MMM and many was deceived through its scheme though obviously it was a ponzi scheme before and good thing that people from social media warned the scheme and its shady behavior.

I heard it from my old friend who was curious about things on deep web and he just mentioned that bitcoin was the currency there.

I heard the word bitcoin in 2013 but I ignored it because I am busy at that time. When I graduated in the tertiary level year 2017, I am finding some ways to earn online and I saw this word again "bitcoin" and I became very curious about it. Luckily, there are some of my friends who help me know what bitcoin and whole cryptocurrency is all about. Until now, I am reading here in the forum about bitcoin and absorbing every knowledge that I need to know /

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.

I have heard about bitcoin since 2009. I also remembered MMM and luckily I did not lose any amount of btc that time since after a month I withdraw my btc and convert it to cash. Some of my profit in MMM was invested in perfecthash.com but eventually that site was a scam. So after I was scammed I started collecting faucets and then I keep on researching on how to increase my earned btc. I eventually ended doing up some affiliate marketing to newly created investment and gambling sites. Then I was hired by a certain website due to my effort and then I found out about signature campaigns. Then later on I was doing some trading and even become and ICO consultant and a social media promoters for newly developed coins.

I was one of those who missed it, by 2016 my friend had already told it, but at that time I did not understand about bitcoin, but over time there was often information on the internet and I was curious then studied until I got guidance from my friend at the end of 2017 first. now I am eager to position myself with others.

I wish I had also heard about bitcoins earlier. I came to know about bitcoins quite late. If I remember correctly, I heard about it on a IM forum and then I landed on bitcointalk. Now I get paid in bitcoins and other crypto for some of my freelance work and I am content with my performance so far.

It is really amazing to see the journey of members here who are active on this forum from 2012 or earlier.

Last week, I also find out some news for this topic. According to Bank of America, the greatest bubble in history is exploding. The stock market is falling in line with the slump in the world's biggest asset bubble - bitcoin, after less than a year since its peak. Do you think this information is accurate?

[Rileygss]

I did not care about the outcome of this. Bitcoin may be the biggest bubble of all time, but one thing that can not be denied is the technology behind it. A whole new infrastructure industry will be built - in which the internet will change the way the world works. 

[Daniel Brian]

I love "bubbles". "Bubbles" give people the railway. The "bubble" that opened up the shipbuilding industry in the 18th century. The "bubble" brings the internet to everyone. The "bubble" is now a strong currency. "Bubbles" are not a bad thing at all. I only care about whether the world is better or not.

I first heard bitcoin from my friends last year, when I am passing by with their place bitcoin is always their topic. I didn't mind them at first and if they are trying to explain it to me, I just nod and say okay later. They're patiently waiting and explained bitcoin to me until they got my full attention and here I amm now, thanks to them.

I heard bitcoin from my friend but he is a trader in bitcoin market. I started it when I was looking for extra money for daily life with my wife. and I asked my friend, then suggested to collect the bitcoin. but I was confused to start, because my friend forbids to join in the world of PONZI. until I was given some sites that I remember. it is a freebitco.in and game on smartphone, Flappybird. and until now my capital has grown into a big trading Bitcoin.

[jayveerastrullo]

I already know bitcoin for many years but i have not  tried it yet. So when i know my friend is also using it by then i also use it.

First time I got information about Bitcoin through my facebook friends status,at that time I tried to buy Bitcoin and invest in cloud mining
I get profit from my first investment but in subsequent investments I suffered losses due to investing in scam cloud mining
After I know that most cloud mining is scam,I started switching to crypto trading and looking for more information about Crypto currency and Blockchain

I've come to know bitcoin through a meme featuring Dorian Nakamoto, though back then I don't really know what it is or what does it do so I decided to dive deeper. After doing some researches here and there, I found out that bitcoin has some value which is sitting @ $400 a piece. Later on, I stumbled upon this site, created an account hoping to enlighten me on this new fad--heck, the whitelist even asked me for 0.00004751 BTC back then lol.  The rest is history.. I started with faucets and reading until I bought my first coins and have been buying since then.

[Flagship11]

I first read about it about 2 years ago in a tech blog that I subscribed to.
Didn't think much of it, since the blog discussed the negative use cases for BTC, such as the dark web.
When I became more understanding of its technology is when I decided to get involved, maybe a few months later.

[newgal2017]

I first heard Bitcoin from my boyfriend. As students we were struggling about our daily needs and expenses and how our hectic school schedule is a hindrance for us having a part time job. But, when my boyfriend discovered Bitcoin he never stopped convincing me to try it because it would be really beneficial for us. At first, I must admit that I've refused to do so but a year ago I started dedicating myself to Bitcoin. And it was worth the try.

Through my experiences in dealing with bitcoin today, I've had few experiences with scammers. Scammers who have built a good image and strong reputation yet little did i know it was just for a show so a lot of people would be interested resulting more numbers of victims.
