Poll - How did you find out about Bitcointalk?

[masulum]

Finding this forum from search engine to know how to mining crypto. I know bitcoin is to hard to mine with my laptop, so I am searching alternative coin and search engine bring me to alternative board and I'm success to broke my laptop battery after mining 24 hours (in total for 2 night) and i got about 0.000000xx Doge, 0.000000x ETH and 0.000000x XMR from my mining  LOL 

Another reason to join this forum because project Airdrop asking me to make a comment on their thread. And my first post being deleted by moderator 

[LUCKMCFLY]

I remember as if it had been at this time, a friend, who studied with me at the University, called me on the phone saying that there was a forum that referred to everything about Bitcoin and Altcoins, (this in 2017 just when Bitcoin was running towards the trend up) where there were experts, investors and the information was level A1, I did not hesitate and came here.

I started to participate in some Altcoins Airdrops, but after reading the threads, the same forum forces us to raise the level of knowledge and a simple publication is not enough, it must be supported by arguments established in books, articles, among others. All this to raise the level, at that moment the adventure began.

Frist i introduce with this forum in Sep 2017 by my younger brother. He was introduced with this forum by one of his friend. He spent all the time here in participating bounty. It was boring for me. I also open an account in this forum in Sep 2017 but it was inactive. I activate my account this month. Now i found this forum is not only for participating bounty campaign. There are so many section like meta, beginners and help, economy and also our local board to spend time and acquire much knowledge about this forum. Now i am learning more and more day by day.

I found this forum on social media(Twitter maybe) . I got a link to the project's ann thread. But the funny thing is that this project had a Scam Accusations. And the link was on their ann thread.   This is where I got introduced to the forum. I realized I could share my opinion here. I can help others. That day I created an account. I did the first post. And my first post was deleted by moderator. Then I made another one post. That post was not deleted. Since then I've slowly slowly come to this point.

One day my brother was busy browsing at bitcointalk website and at the same time busy monitoring the bitcoin chart because he is starting to learn trading by that time. At first, I wasn't that interested. But when he push me to understand well that there is actually a new technology that is existing in this era which you can actually control your own money, it hooked me. I wanted to be part of that advanced technology called, "bitcoin".
 
 By that time, he just said I have to read some threads in bitcointalk forum if I am sincere to learn. Honestly, it is not easy to understand but if have determination, we can fully comprehend bitcoin.
 Now, we are both margin traders and we share some technical analysis with each other. But I must admit, I am very grateful to him. He passes his beliefs about this kind of innovation and the determination to pass it down with our nephews and niece to continue what we believe in is what I am proud of him.
 
 For now, we conduct seminars within the family last December, we explained bitcoin to our family members.
 That's how I have started here.

I came across bitcointalk while searching for bitcoin forums where I can post a query related to hardware wallet. Since then there is not a day or two where I don't come to this place. You need to be here to be updated.

[Dr.Lender3]

I sold paypal, vcc , snn on various websites,,
One of my friend asked me why am I not giving my service for Bitcoin Where the demand of Bitcoin is increasing day by day!
He suggested me this forum and thus I became a forum member.

Almost same, though there are people who already mention it to me but I don't really give a damn, then eventually I search something about bitcoin wallet and I see it and bounties about some wallet too.

[Negotiation]

I got to know the Bitcoin Talk relationship through a friend of mine. He used to work long ago He just gave me the link and said that you can work here with an ID. At first, I was very annoyed but later I used my talent to see the different places and post many campaigns.

[nakamura12]

I never knew bitcointalk forum until my brother in law tells her wife (my sister) and also tells my brother that they should join and participate in ICOs. It was on January 2018 that he introduced bitcointalk.org forum to my sister, my brother and myself as well that is why my bitcointalk.org account creation is January 21, 2018. Directly found bitcointalk forum because of my brother-in-law. Submitted my vote (Relative : Family).

If Im not mistaken I saw it in a local forum site in our country when I was searching for extra online income opportunity and I saw a thread regarding bitcoin and I got curious since the exchange rate is really high at that time I think 1 btc = $300 but the thread starter to that forum never talked about this forum bitcointalk then I search on google about bitcoin and I found this website. 

[Annisa_crypto]

Previously when I was doing freelancing for adding airdrops while adding on their site for example Coin airdrops. I found one step was there where it was mentioned that there is a need to mention site name to Bitcointalk link. This made me curious about bitcointalk, I thought what is this link that is so important. Then I searched for bitcoin talk for more details in google and navigated to bitcointalk.org and I have started reading it from that time onwards I have never left this forum always feel like it is a very good community to gain some knowledge.

[geilsjake]

A friend of mine recommend me Bitcointalk as he said that there were lot of forums where I can get some info about crypto.

[airdnasxela]

It was a friend who introduced me to bitcointalk. The one who also introduced me about cryptocurrency. At first I really have no idea what cryptocurrency is and even its existence. But when a friend of mine told me about cryptocurrency and blockchain I was still confused because it's not easy to understand at first so he told me about this forum. He told me to read some threads in order to learn something even the basic one.

How I am here?

I knew about bitcoin first, then the second one is Ethereum. I search (by Google, thanks for it) with Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin, and results of the search led me here, bitcointalk.org. I did not have any aims when I participated in the forum. At my first glance in the forum, and my first impression, the forum is very boring, texts, texts and texts, mostly texts. And the forum was abundant with thanks, hi, hello, one line posts some months since the day I participated in the forum. After some months, I realized that it was only short term shitshows as a consequence of altcoin booms in 2017.

Now, I am being here as a Senior member, with all of my 421 merits are earned by myself.

Thanks for the forum, the community, available topics, answers to my questions, and all admins, moderators, patrollers, you all helped me to get a lot of knowledge in crypto as well as security and privacy, that I believe I hardly get on any other forums.

[rosezionjohn]

For my story, airdrop campaigns brought me here. Almost all campaigns back in 2017 would require airdrop hunters to visit their bitcointalk thread and make constructive comment IIRC. Given that many of us were new back then, the constructive comments were more like spams   It was not the best way to start but we all learn.



I have been reading the comments and noticed two different reasons from the same account.

I knew about the forum in 2017 when the guy I know on Facebook made his status about airdrops for old accounts. He is very famous in my local, so I created my account because of my curiosity (I knew he stated old accounts). One those days, I did not know too much about bitcoin, and crypto currency so that forum is helpful for me (I only felt it is helpful months later).

That is where I came from and joined the forum. I know you guys mostly don't want to see such boring stories but it is mine.

That was the first time I heard of bitcoin, a friend of mine introduced me to bitcoin and bitcointalk.
At that time I was very curious about bitcoin so I decided to learn about bitcoin and the best place to learn about bitcoin at that time was the bitcointalk forum.
At that time, I had made a large amount of bitcoins, but I could not keep the patience and sold them, if I could keep that amount of bitcoins until 2017, it would certainly be different.

[VB1001]

I came to the forum because I was looking for a powerful GPU for a video server (dual CPU), the GPUs took me to Bitcointalk,
I had never heard anything from the forum or Bitcoin before.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I genuinely can’t remember if I’m being honest. I was introduced to bitcoin in May 2014 which is when I started to buy & HODL.

I signed up here in September 2014, I probably found this place via google or something because I’m certain nobody told me about bitcointalk.org
