As I've been watching the popularity of the Bitcoin increase seemingly exponentially, I've often wondered what is the best way of spreading the word. I personally do it mostly by word of mouth, from one friend to another, as the Bitcoin is fairly complex and is best explained when there is enough time to do so.
What about the rest of you newbs?

Many people got into cryptocurrencies for gambling. That is why I myself got into it.

Heard about it on Reddit, probably a year ago. I remember being glued to my phone watching price back during the April craziness.

I think I first heard about them through the first media coverage of Silk Road. The best way to promote BTC and cryptos is to just keep telling people about them.

I discovered bitcoin when I first read an article about silkroad. I bought 30 when they were still $5... Unfortunately I did not keep them.

For a lot of years now, I've been a subscriber to the Elliott Wave Theorist, written by Robert Prechter. His writing introduced me to bitcoin way back in September 2010. I've watched, waited and dabbled in it till October 2013, when I found its infrastructure sufficiently developed to begin trusting it with my money. I'm happy to be onboard.

I want to say it was in a magazine, but I feel like I already knew about them at that point and was just being reminded.

Hah, when I think about it, I really don't know. Something has just told me 'now it is the best time to buy some btc'. I knew about bitcoins back in 2011 but really don't think much about it. Nowadays, I can't live a day without checking some graphs and statistics. What is happening to me ? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
