How did you first hear about Bitcoin?

[mrongoz_imut]

I also heard from a friend, maybe if he doesn't want to teach and help me get to know bitcoin, most likely until now I won't even know bitcoin, and won't know what bitcoin is, after he taught me about bitcoin, then I have started to open internet, and continue to learn how to play in bitcoin, and invest in bitcoin, and now i finally get profit from bitcoin..

This is a great topic and one I have always wanted to know exactly how I personally found out about bitcoin.  I know that I found out about bitcoin sometime in 2013 and didn't purchase any until very early 2015.  It's funny but I actually had a dream the other night that I had first bought bitcoin in 2012 for like $100 bucks lol..no idea why I had that dream.  Anyhow I wish I knew exactly how I found out about it, but I do know it was 2013ish..I think it may have been through coin collecting.  The Anonymous Mint made 1 oz copper coins that had a bitcoin symbol on one side and something else on the other...I think this is how I first found out about it.

I am one of those guys who didn't took Bitcoin seriously when I first heard about it. And this happened back in 2011, when Wikileaks started accepting Bitcoin as a payment method. And later that year, one of my friends offered me to pay in Bitcoin, but I refused. I got my first BTC almost 1.5 years later, by the end of 2012. I regret about two things - first one that I didn't took BTC seriously in 2011, and secondly because I invested so little amount in 2012. I got 5000x returns so far, but imagine what could have happened if I had invested a good amount when I first purchased BTC.

I first heard about Bitcoin on the internet many many years ago. But I didn't take it seriously back then. After some time passed, a friend of mine gave me an advice to do a good research about Bitcoin and invest into it if I'd like. When I started getting to know more about Bitcoin, everything has started changing. Now, I admire Bitcoin and have a good investment into it.

One of my Facebook friends introduces me to Bitcoin. He is offering some tasks for some people and paying with bitcoin for that task. I agreed to do those tasks, and he set up everything for me. First of all, he tells me to open an account at Coinbase(to receive bitcoin). I open an account at Coinbase. When I finished those tasks, He sends payment at Bitcoin to my Coinbase wallet. In this way, I can able to know about Bitcoin.


After the day, I tried to do google and youtube to know more about Bitcoin. How to spend bitcoin, where to spend Bitcoin etc. I remembered that First I use my Bitcoin to research my Mobile However, My friend was a blessing. With his help, I can learn about Bitcoin.

I first got an idea about Bitcoin in 2015 through a TV program. Back then most people in the world had no idea about online currency. But I invested in Bitcoin in mid-2017Let's get started. Now I have a fair knowledge about Bitcoin and I have invested all my dollars in Bitcoin.

Now I have a fair knowledge about Bitcoin and I have invested all my dollars in Bitcoin.

That's good if you lived where most needed stuffs can be bought with bitcoin which I don't think there is a place like that yet.

Good thing if you're using a service/wallet that can be used to convert your bitcoin into fiat when purchasing those stuffs.

at that time there was a lot of negative news about bitcoin, there were still many people who underestimated bitcoin. me too, at that time I was afraid to try when I first learned about bitcoin from one of the online forums. Then in 2016, I ventured to try to buy a little, with the knowledge base of forex trading I tried my luck in crypto. and it turned out to be really fun. With the support of some friends who have started first, I embarked on a full-fledged crypto adventure.
then began to focus on this forum as well, trying other opportunities as a bounty hunter. there are many ways to earn money from here, we have to try them all.

I first heard of Bitcoin in 2016 as college undergraduate. Someone had been invited (not by the schools' authorities) to speak to the students about it. Then, It was never of any concern to me. I just wanted to study and make good grades. To make a long story short, I picked up interest in it 2years ago when it felt like I was missing out. So I became curious. I'd surf the internet to get information on it even though I didn't understand the technical terms. I'd listen as my friends would talk about Bitcoin. I remember I had a friend who at that point got people to invest in Bitcoin and after sometime they'll get a certain percentage (this business crashed and he was almost sent to jail).

Hearing and seeing my fiery friend tell me about btc got me interested and find out what btc is. The first time I found out about the crypto world I was interested in continuing to learn about it, lots of questions arose when I saw it. How the profit can be obtained, how the risk will be obtained and also how the btc will grow. All of that came to my mind and made me interested in learning more. After I learned more I felt that I was on the right track with learning the crypto world. Investing in btc is a good and profitable thing but we also have to be careful and vigilant so that we don't experience big losses.

My friend introduces this strange name bitcoin to me when we were in college too, undergraduated and at that time we started our journey in cryptocurrency as a bounty campaigners and also an active member here in forum. At first it was strange but being a member of this forum for a long time it made me realize how blessed I am that i've knew this bitcoin and cryptocurrency thing. And now all I can say is it totally change my life and it taught me how to follow the trend of investment.

I first heard about bitcoin, I didn't believe in bitcoin, I didn't think it was possible for the price of bitcoin to be this expensive but after learning I just believed that bitcoin could change the economy.

it's not just you who don't believe me, I'm sure everyone on this forum definitely doesn't believe in bitcoin, because at the beginning of the emergence of bitcoin, many people thought that bitcoin was a scam, at the beginning of the appearance of bitcoin the price of bitcoin was very low, but as time went on, more and more people held onto it. bitcoin, and invest in bitcoin, the price of bitcoin began to rise, good luck there are friends who never get tired of convincing me to enter the world of bitcoin..

I first heard from my boyfriend he is talking about Bitcoin and told me that he invested in some and he gain profit also. He wanted me to take interest in Bitcoin and and also introduce Bitcoin and I was also curious that time to know more about Bitcoin. 🙂

I know Bitcoin from a car sticker that says "I bought this car with Bitcoin", I who know little about Bitcoin because it went viral about 5 years ago trying to start understanding Bitcoin as a whole.
Yes, there are many ways to get money from Bitcoin so that someone can easily get a big profit to buy a car unit with the profit made from Bitcoin.

From there, I became more and more intense in studying Bitcoin to gain knowledge and make this an opportunity to earn money.

So what have you gained from Bitcoin since getting to know Bitcoin?

Sometimes I wonder whether criminals have established their own specific cryptocurrencies, because even criminals need to trade favors for favours.

But then again, using bitcoin or any crypto would be pretty dumb as a criminal, since with the wrong leak could trace you to everything that you've done with time stamps and possibly even locations. And you'd never know what was a honeypot, especially because you'd be dealing with criminals (and probably dumb ones).

The openness of bitcoin may actually help lower criminality over time because of these features, and make politicians more accountable to their people in more than one way.

Will politicians be responsible for the people? Will politicians accept Bitcoin and continue to make Bitcoin more secure and free of criminal activity?

I am full of doubts. First of all, Bitcoin is decentralized. Criminal activities are not the first of Bitcoin. Criminal activities are more convenient and rampant in the world of legal currency. If politicians or even countries participate in Bitcoin governance, will Bitcoin lose its centrality? Bitcoin is Bitcoin, I hope to become more mature, and everyone should not give it too much social responsibility.

I heard about Bitcoin for the first time. My friend said that he bought a few computers to mine. I was surprised, don’t all the ore use large machinery? I gradually learned about Bitcoin. I also mentioned my understanding of Bitcoin in my first post: A ledger that can be unconditionally trusted, universally used in the world.

From online, I've been looking for a job and other ways I can earn only and I come to this scam Bitcoin mining website that only uses browser I did not know what is Bitcoin mining at first and after that I was introduced to this forum and from that I learn a lot about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

[Tahsin Kabir Kollol]

I first became aware of Bitcoin in early 2017 when a neighbor of mine invested in it and discussed with me its future prospects. Since most of the people in our country were not aware of Bitcoin at that time, I had no idea about it. On the other hand, since my neighbor is not engaged in any other profession, I am interested to know about it by looking at his way of lifestyle. Gradually through him, I started to learn and understand Bitcoin, and later on, I invested in it. This was really a  life-changing concept considering professional earning in my life.

[StanleyBoyle]

One day, a friend said that he was cheated by a mining team. They raised funds and said they wanted to mine Bitcoin. After the funds are in place, they said they will establish a separate mine. Unfortunately, they have never appeared since then.

At first I thought Bitcoin was a scam, but as more and more people talked about it in my life, I started to pay attention and gradually changed from the impression of a scam.

Motivating someone who is drowning in a pandemic is really needed, especially for those who have been removed from work or for entrepreneurs who have gone bankrupt due to the pandemic. giving motivation is the same as awakening the soul, so it gives hope that there is another way to get out of this situation

[ROSEDF]

When I first heard about Bitcoin, I didn't understand it, I didn't believe it could protect our privacy. I wonder why it can be anonymous, what technology it uses to protect our information, and why everyone invests in Bitcoin.
Later, after slowly learning about Bitcoin, I think Bitcoin is a fascinating currency, and that Bitcoin is really a great technology.
Now I would also like to recommend Bitcoin to my friends.
