Poll - How did you find out about Bitcointalk?

[Pitaloki]

It was 2 years ago, because of the news telling how fantastic Bitcoin was with his amazing high peak.
Then I registered and I didn't understand anything with all these complicated terms and technical conversations so I gave up.
Now, I am back and I am determined

I become curious in the bitcoin or this cryptocurrency when I was just a student and started searching in the google about this bitcoin I think I watch a lot of youtube videos just to understand a lot of it. The market price of bitcoin starting to be trendy because of the increasing market price of bitcoin in the market. So I started investing in the bitcoin because of this hype with my learnings on the internet I but bitcoin in a bitcoin wallet and thing go pretty well because the market price just continues to increases.

That I want to earn a lot of bitcoin and search for a way on the internet that I could find, I end up becoming interested in bitcoin mining. And with my google search, about bitcoin mining, I end up in this forum. And that is where I started in this forum. I just created an account in this forum for information I don't really have an idea that you could earn here by joining campaigns.

Actually I'm curious about bitcoin since I've hear this name from social media but not totally on crypto topics but in Deepwep used as currency and this catch my attention and did some research about it and when searching the information it redirected me to the forum and glad those things happen since I truly got more benefited  from this accidentally find since bitcoins,alts and bitcointalk help me up in terms of financial freedom since the  forum itself generates me a good profit by joining on the  campaign posted as well got more deeper knowledge and understandings on how to deal things specially about education about scams.

If I can remember correctly I got bitcointalk from a website while reading an article on a project. But I can be sure that I have joined the forum on the first day of my visit of the forum. It was a great experience. Back then, the forum was less active but more productive in term of quality discussion one with others.

My story of discovering Bitcointalk is very interesting. I was looking for online jobs and work and find out about bitcoins. I started searching more about this new currency and found out that we could earn through faucets. The quest to learn more about this brought me here through a google search. I made the account and from that day i can't imagine leaving this forum.

Actually I was introduced by a friend. Who only show me how to join signature campaign. As time goes on, I began to learn more about crypto through this forum which I have no knowledge about before. Albeit the initial idea was to join campaigns and make cash out of it but there's something more to it than only money.

A new thought about this topic - has anyone thought how their life might be different if they DIDN'T find Bitcointalk.org?

I found out about bitcoin elsewhere but i didn't learn about it properly until i found this forum. If I hadn't found this forum i think i'd be one of those people that's heard of cryptocurrency and paid it minimal attention. And F*CK how clueless I would have been about how much I'd missed out on.

At times i've tried to get friends or family interested. Each of them kindly listens but none of them have decided to participate. It baffles my mind, but we can lead a horse to water, we can't make it drink!

Anyone else have similar thoughts or experiences?

As far as i remember, i saw an article somewhere on the internet about the possibility of additional income through advertising campaigns and there was a link to one of the topics of this forum, this is how my acquaintance with crypto and bounties began

I'm pretty sure I already owned some before turning up here but I would've missed out on many an alt if I didn't turn up. Maybe that's a good thing. Not sure.

It's interesting seeing how many people have never turned up here. I quite often see people elsewhere on crypto sites mention they've never been here. I couldn't imagine having that little engagement or curiosity.

Ah, the nostalgic moment. I found this forum because of Claymore miner. The ETH pump and the story about making money from GPUs redirect me to the Claymore thread.

I'm a silent reader at first, then got suckered into ICO bounty and Bitcoin because of random signature, lol.

[kro55]

It was my early days in crypto when one of my online friend recommended me to this site. Amazing place to learn about crypto related stuff. I too have recommended this site to many of my friend.

[nutildah]

I just read through my first 5 pages of posts, and for the life of me, I can't remember how I heard about Bitcointalk! Perhaps it was mentioned on one of the bitcoin podcasts I used to listen to, probably "Let's Talk Bitcoin" or something. Most likely I found it via Google search and signed up after doing some lurking.

My first post on the forum is no clue at all -- just asking about where to find nodes for an obscure and now defunct altcoin. I remember I was so enamored with the idea that I printed a fancy, decorative paper wallet for it and kept it in my actual wallet, ready for the impending day that BonesCoin would finally be accepted at Starbucks!

Well, things haven't exactly progressed the way I once envisioned. I stopped keeping a mobile Dogecoin wallet about 2 years ago, and now do all my BTC transacting from my PC. Cryptocurrency just isn't really for brick n mortar retail spending it turns out, which is fine, as its proven to have other uses.

[rhomelmabini]

Actually I've just seen a few ads on the forum I used to lurk in but what really pushes me to go through was some acquaintances as well on that forum and they recommend that you'll earn money there. Honestly, that's the motivation that gets me here but as time goes by and start learning things here sometimes I put it aside from the learning I get here and one more thing this forum made my written communication with English quite improve since the set out to venture the bitcointalk space.

From the High School  time I was very interested in the internet. When I go in Intermediate life I brought a Java phone by my own earned money from agriculture work . From then I search how I can earn money from internet. Since the phone was a Java phone so it can not help to find a good results. After two years I brought an Android phone by doing tution. That time I was able to discover some works like ptc,hype,revenueshare site. But I was not able to invest any site for that I have tried to do work in PTC site.  After tried many sites One day I got a payment  maybe it was 10 cent   only. I was very happy that time which  I can not share in word.

So after earning 1-2$ try to search a buyer where I can exchange the dollars with my local currency. And found a man who asking people to work with him and he will pay. He offered to do captcha works for (Past Raiblock XRB now Nano) project. Do some job he paid for that. Then where I find a buyer for only 2-5$ but he was finding buyer for exchanging 50-100$ in facebook. One day I asked him how you earn this dollars? He told me about the bitcointalk. I visited but I can not understand how this site became a source of income ?  This a simple design site. Just text and text only
So stop to visit. After 2 months again asked him the source of earning. He again tell me about bitcointalk. Again I visit and try to search the way of earn. Find some works in service section which will pay 10 cent for works. From that Time I am in here.

The kind person is now a Hero Member of this forum. I wish may God bless him.

Sorry for long comments.

Without going into the motives behind joining Bitcointalk, I was wondering how people’s first point of contact with the forum was made. Now we may need to jog the memory here a bit, although Beginners & Help tends to have newer profiles around, making the memory lane easier to walk.

If I recall correctly, I reached the forum at the time when searching for information on Bitcoin. I probably performed a Google search for "Bitcoin forum" and made it here through one of the results that popped-up.

What was the reference driver (source, not motive) that drove you to Bitcointalk?

I reach the forum from Friend/acquaintance recommendation. i interest with bitcoin and want to learn about bitcoin then my friend said to join in this forum. when i just knew join in this forum, i am so confused about how to work and how to learn because i do not join forum yet. i am so thank so much for my friend to finding this forum for me

[Myfe]

Wow, what a great question! I found this beautiful place through a friend. This friend kept talking about it, asking me to check it out. His enthusiasm was curious...like someone who's discovered this really cool thing and they want to share it with you.

I finally logged in, registered, etc., and now i'm so happy that i did! This forum was my first glimpse into the cryptocurrency world. I can't imagine how far out of the scene i'd be without that one friend. I haven't transacted much here but i've thoroughly enjoyed my time, the talk, the opinions and perspective of others.

Thanks to all of you for opening your world to me!

[guigui371]

I don't really remember.
I guess I just typed Bitcoin or buy bitcoin in google in 2013
At that time I was confused and believed that Bitcoin could only be bought with  Linden dollars 

[Timelord2067]

Been quite q while, but I had been hearing about BitCoin for about six or eight months, but the journalists didn't have any clue as to what the underlying nuts and bolts were then one reporter happened to make comparisons between PGP (which I was well and truly into at that time) and BitCoin using encryption etc for signing and I was in.

At first, it was bitcoin that was very famous back then up until our class had a discussion about gambling and my classmate dropped plenty of gambling site which are very unfamiliar to us. As our confusion rises, we began to ask him about bitcoin and how much does he get from winning in gambling and it was quite surprising. Afterwards, he told us about bitcointalk, he told us that it is where everything started from him. He told us plenty of ways on how we can benefit with oue bitcointalk accounts which led us to earn large amount of money during the peak season last 2017.
