So , why did you join bitcointalk?

[pand70]

Because bitcointalk is the most important thing for bitcoin, second only to btc-e's trollbox 

[TRJohnnyc]

I've known bitcoin since I discovered the deep web in early 2012, but I never gave much thought about it because back then I perceived bitcoin as an underground currency. In May, I received a bitcoin tip of 3 dollars as a donation to help out protesters in the Gezi Park protests. I have been following and learning about bitcoin, free markets and crypto-anarchy ever since. I joined the forums to further educate myself and profit from taking part in  the rather early stages of what I believe to be the money of the future.

I joined to learn more about altercoins, use that knowledge and then help other users :-) But seriously, just reading this forum seems to require a fulltime job because there is sooo much new stuff being posted every second. Still - looking forward to the months to come :-)

[Nano Fiber]

I wanted to join the primary Bitcoin community and learn more about Bitcoin and other altcoins as well.

Same for me + gambling also

[ApatheticAndrew]

Mainly to participate in group buys/shares as purchasing mining equipment is costly, and I move every three months (gonna be a haste to move equipment). Plus the abundence of information and inteligent people

[hdhock3y]

It seems to be the largest community dedicated to bitcoin, and I'm very interested in reading what other people have to say about coins as well learning about some altcoins.

I join because I think there is a lot of misinformation/ conflicting views out there regarding bitcoins. I think this is the best place to stay informed

You will find the truth here for sure
But bitcoins is kinda of technical/complicated, I agree

[freethink2013]

Like large minority I joined because I thought someone had stolen my bitcoin. Fortunately I managed to get them back.

[cdtc]

pretty much this.

[stevegreer]

Hello all, I joined because I want to learn as much as I can about bitcoins.

[jaxdid]

Seems like the best single place to learn about altcoins (read the specs, papers, get an idea of what the crypto population thinks of x coin, etc.)

I'm won't go so far as to predict the death of bitcoin, but altcoins are definitely the new frontier! Now just have to wait and see what the Zerocoin guys come up with...

[bitcoingraphics]

i have been interested in cryptocurrency only for a short while now.
i joined to try and sell my services as a computer graphics animator on the services forum
blatant plug - https://www.youtube.com/bitcoingraphics

since browsing the site for a few days now though i have come to realise what a large community it is.
i have found cool things to look at which have informed about cryptocurrencies to the extent that i
have started litecoin mining and have made a grand total of 0.0003 so far
its not the financial gain that interests as much as the political agenda of supporting cryptocurrencies

[beetcoin]

i came to this forum to hustle.. and as it turns out, i'm not a great hustla.

[cointender]

I first learned about bitcoin last year from NPR's Planet Money podcast.  I've lurked the forum for a while but registered so I can contribute.
