When You Heard About Bitcoin For the First Time?

[Rruchi man]

I first heard about bitcoin from a friend who introduced me then to a Ponzi scheme then called zarfund that built their crowdfunding format around bitcoins. The price of bitcoins then was relatively low and I must mention that I didn't expect expect bitcoins to go so high because after the Ponzi scheme crashed and I lost my money, I didn't seek to know more about bitcoins maybe because i was depressed about it, until after a while when it started becoming a popular and regular discussion amongst my friends.

It's been eight years since I heard of Bitcoin. Back then, I was a college student, and I didn't start earning money yet. I got an android device, and I was searching how to make money from the internet. Some article forwarded me to a casino website with a faucet feature. So, I used to claim faucets and place bets. I remember I managed to do without a couple of times, but I wasn't in the mode to hold it. Or, I didn't understand that it would be good to keep it. I sold them and bought an internet recharge. That's all I did back then.

I know guys it's silly question but I was wondering that wether how people got in to bot oinnand other cryptocurrency.
My case is that in 2017 I heard in news that Bitcoin that is a digital cryptocurrency Crossed real gold for the First time. At that time it's price was above 1000 dollars. And that git me interested and I want to know more about crypto and now I am here and I making post 😁

There is nothing wrong with the question, it makes me think of how eager I was to learn about bitcoin at the time. I was influenced by friends' frequent discussion of it at the time, and I was envious because I rarely have anything to add when they are talking. However, today, my own research has turned into something useful for this forum and myself, I have learned things about bitcoin here that my friends don't even know half of. Bitcoin is the best, and I can't even talk about the technical and development discussion knowledge I've gained.

You're in the right place then.

All you need to do is to read those topics that might get your interest because that's how most of the people here got to know more about bitcoin. Topics that will make you interested like trading bitcoin, technicalities about it and other discussions related to it.

Although the biggest deal is always about its value and price but there's more to it if you wanna know more about it.

It is easy to remember when we know Bitcoin but the problem is that it was too late we realized how valuable is this as we are too negative about it on the day we heard about this. Maybe, if during that time the first time we encounter the name Bitcoin and started to buy this, I can't really imagine what gonna happen to us after. It is just remembering the past how we make the wrong decision like ignoring Bitcoin but of course, I feel no regrets because that is really how we deal with new things.

It was in early 2014 when I heard about Bitcoin. It’s where I just simply created my Bitcointalk account, Coins PH wallet, etc. But the problem is that I have doubts on Bitcoin back then and I was broke in which I cannot afford to buy when it was like under $600 per BTC.

I ignored it for more than 3 years. I just came back here after Bitcoin reached $10,000 for the first time. Yes there are many regrettable moments of ignoring to buy Bitcoin early and here we are right now sitting between $19k to $20k as of this time of writing.

I just got to know bitcoin in early 2017 from some of my friends who have known it for a long time, and at that time I only met again after I stopped working because my contract expired.
and when we get together, they always talk about bitcoin which makes me confused because I don't understand and also don't know at all and moreover I'm surprised they have a lot of money even though they don't have a job because at that time to get free bitcoins was very easy according to them. And a few weeks later I was interested and asked about bitcoin finally they taught very clearly and finally I am interested until now, and they also brought me to this forum.
They are very meritorious because without them I would not be who I am today, how are you, my friend, I wish you good health and success always.

I know bitcoin in 2013 but it takes a process to understand what bitcoin is and how to transact it, to invest in new btc in the last 3 years and thankfully I enjoyed the new ATH btc although not in large amounts but I am more grateful and believe bitcoin can provide benefits if you continue to be patient

I think then many people put all their focus on ponzi schemes because it comes in double very fast. People didn't give bitcoin much attention to try it maybe because they needed something faster, not having the patience to wait,  and not believing in it because it was something new. I'm among the persons not embracing bitcoin earlier,  sometimes I just feel if I had known I would have tried bitcoin just the way I was taking risks going about ponzi, but all the same am happy I know bitcoin now, to me it is never late knowing bitcoin.

i heard about bitcoin for the very first time when I driving my car back to my home from university and in the radio between songs, the presenter began to joke about bitcoin. Something like that:

"will you believe? Someone made up their money, called it bitcoin. The funniest thing is that their price has exceeded that of the dollar. What an absurdity."

Yep. That day bitcoin broke 1$. I did nothing ... I was too focused on parties and girls.I accepted the narrative of the presenter that it is actually absurd that someone even wants to have money invented by someone, most likely centralized. Next time I heard about bitcoin was in 2017 after it broke 10 000$ and thats when I bought it for the first time.

I heard of Bitcoin first in 2017 when a friend was already earning some cool cash from it and then he sent me some funds even without me asking, but then there were alot of ponzi schemes out there and one popular one was the MMM and I was so scared of internet stuffs because of
the bunch of news, not just news but sad news about internet scams and criminality, so i was so reluctant about even getting to know about it because it seem too promising and looked them as one of those cheap ponzi schemes that would fade away someday too And the next time I heard hard about it felt so left out and thought I missed the train, not until my same friend talked me into it and told me to just keep buying and now we're riding the same boat and standing same waves of Bitcoin.

In 2013 on Indian forum named ethicalhavoc. Got first stellar airdrop in same year or next idk, since then active here and there.

the first time i got to know crypto, namely bitcoin, when i was eating in a restaurant with my family in front of me there were some people who looked luxurious they were talking about buying bitcoin and about investing in bitcoin it was like gold is much better.
the longer i listen to their stories i feel curious about what bitcoin is and after eating at that restaurant i opened up on google looking for information about bitcoin and a few weeks i became more and more curious about it all and then i found this forum in 2016 when the bitcoin price under $1000.
and with that curiosity i quickly understood what bitcoin is and about investing in bitcoin after that i decided to try to invest in bitcoin with my small money of $100 and i tried to have this thought like gold that i have to hold on to for several years. and in the end in 2017 i got married and at that time also the bullish bitcoin price reached the highest price at that time and i sold it.
but stupidly i was too busy with family life after marriage i didn't buy anymore. and it was only the beginning of 2019 that i started buying and until now i can still feel investing in bitcoin

Truly I heard about bitcoin through a brother but wasn't greatly enlighten about how it works, in fact there is no clear education but I always find him around bitcointalk here promoting bounty's and I asked him what he always does online and all I could received from him is that you won't understand how it works less until you belong to the forum then you can read more things for your self.
Then i make an account here yet I felt very lazy to utilized the opportunities, later run I also heard about bitcoin in a Radio station I was like my brother is into this bitcoin of a thing then I ran back home and open my PC began to dip my head down here to know more things. Perhaps, it wasn't an easy task to seat in a place to read about what I don't know about but today I always appreciate the forum for what I have turned into

I already used digital currencies long before I got interested in Bitcoin. The problem was, they were centralized such as Liberty Reserve. The first time I heard about bitcoin and the first time it got offered to me, has to be either in 2010 or 2011. Without doing any research, I rejected the idea of being paid in this relatively unknown coin at that time. I could have filled my pockets with hundreds and thousands of BTCs only if I knew then what I know now. But, I am not complaining and I am still happy I got in relatively early.

At that time bitcoin was not well known in Indonesia, many people did not understand it, especially in the first 5 years of its emergence. I don't remember the exact date and time, but I do remember that someone introduced me to trading and how to make a profit from it.

I know your question has been asked by many other users before but it went by so quickly that I truly believe in the future I will see someone ask this again. The OP certainly didn't care when you got to know bitcoin, by now you better know and probably already have it. You don't have to be an early adopter to make a profit, but have bitcoin now and keep them in the long term to get the benefits worth it.

I almost forgot when exactly I started hearing about crypto. What I heard wasn't crypto but the name "Bitcoin," and I didn't know that apart from bitcoin, there were many altcoins at that time. And I focused on getting bitcoins through the faucets that were very popular at the time by having an account at almost every faucet I knew.

My wish at that time was how I could have more bitcoins. And along the way, I started getting to know several altcoins, such as dogecoin, ltc, dash, namecoin, peercoin, and so on. I had a little regret not trying to get to know bitcoin better in 2010-2011 but it has happened.

I think I heard of it for the first time when the news of Silk Road being closed hit the news. Maybe it was Silk Road 2.0, so some time in late 2014, I guess, if not early 2015. But I wasn't very interested. After all, I learned about it from the context of black markets, so it seemed like it was the sort of weird money people use to buy drugs. I wasn't into drugs or into anything that seemed shady, so I didn't think anything of it. But eventually, I got more interested and more involved, learning that it can be used for other things and how different it is from the traditional fiat money.

[bitbollo]

the first time I have heard about bitcoin was on a Italian newspaper called "La repubblica" (I think it was 2013 maybe early but unfortunately I miss the chance to buy something or start professional mining )
Assange's site was just banned by Visa Mastercard and Paypal... the site was just accepting bitcoin for their donations.
I remember the critique for that choice (something like, they will close soon their activity) by the way they are still here, and bitcoin meanwhile has doing great progression as technology and "economic" value.

[The Cryptovator]

I can't recall the exact year when I meet with Bitcoin. But I can recall that the Bitcoin price lowest I have seen is $900, and still, I regret sometimes why I hadn't accumulated. At that time I wasn't interested in Bitcoin and lost some funds into revnsahre sites. That time had been used Pyaza or Perfect Money. I had been thinking about how to use Bitcoin since it's volatile. Yea, definitely I was stupid at the beginning like most newbies. Anyway, now realize how worthy is Bitcoin.

I think in 2017 while making a research on earning from Faucets and Captchers after performing some time consuming tasks of which payment is via Satoshi, that was how I got to know bitcoin I got interest in it instantly made some further checks, I understand that Satoshi is the unit of Bitcoin and many more facts about Bitcoin without wasting time I kickstarted the process of creating a wallet using blockchain.info then before it became blockchain.com invariably started working on faucets and filling Captchers my earnings is paid straight to my wallet though small, I always remembered those period with nostalgia it was indeed a memorable experience.
