I remember browsing an internet forum where I heard the word Bitcoin for the first time back in 2011. People said it was going to get enormous. I made a .txt file where I gathered all the links the post posters provided (how to mine, where to buy, where to store) and a few years passed since then when I truly bought my first Bitcoin. What is your story?  Cheesy

I participated in bitcoin through a friend. He understands it, he helped me in the early days of entering the market. And I made a pretty high profit at the time.

For me it was in 2012-2014 (this gap, can't remember accurately).
Basically I am within digital forensics industry and while investigating deep web I saw that some services accepted bitcoin as form of payment.
It was some $300/btc and I would have never believed that such thing would go famous

I first came across bitcoin in 2016 when the price was around $640 and I never heard of any altcoin by then. Now, look at how many altcoins we got, thousands, right? Grin

I heard about Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin at that time soared. Then I tried to find out more about how to get it, and now I've got it though not completely.

I heard bitcoin during the Occupy wall street protests while wikileaks was raising money!
I even read in the news where someone paid 100 bitcoin for a pizza!
Wish I was smart then!! Smiley

First I heard about Bitcoin about 5 years ago, but didn`t pay much attention - I wasn`t interested at the time, besides I didn`t have spare money to do any investment.

My friend have been trading for years now so he told me about it. I believe he started around 2014.
We never properly discussed it with him, but I was aware that it exists and he`s making some money trading. I started may be about a year ago, still consider myself a newbie.
