When You Heard About Bitcoin For the First Time?

[Japinat]

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 😁

if you buy at that price on January 2017, for sure you got rich at the end of the year, are you profit or regret it?
I heard about bitcoin in January 2019, At that time the price is about $4,000 I bought a bit, then sent it to my own wallet until June 2019 I sold it for $11,000. I still regret why I sold it. If I am enough patient until November 2021, I will be happier. this is my story when known bitcoin for the first time.

We don't know that because the OP just said that he heard it the first time way back 2017 and haven't said that the OP invested afterwards after learning the price was still a little over than $1000 but I surely hope so that he or she invested right after because that specific year was quite interesting. About me, I heard it first on 2017 too but that didn't get me interested and started investing last 2019.

it's the same with me where 2017 was the first time I heard about bitcoin, and that's because a friend told me to try it. At the beginning I found it difficult to understand it, but with notifications from friends and learning on bitcointalk, I gradually understood about cryptocurrencies to get income from the crypto world. I don't deny that money is the main orientation in joining bitcoin

Heard about Bitcoin in 2016 and later bought the idea in 2017, then it seems to me like it was a ponzi scheme, later Bought my first Bitcoin late 2017 and sold out all due to fear that Bitcoin was gonna crash like other business that was making headline news then in my Country, Therefore I viewed Bitcoin in that way and what a regret, if I had actually kept my until now without selling it all, however I can't blame myself because there was no proper information given to me then about Bitcoin like the information I have now.

We are in the midst of one of the biggest financial revolutions since the advent of the internet, and people are watching as it happens and including me and My first thought was "oh cool, I'll give it a go".

Only those who are interested in learning something new, not just dreaming and finding out how this currency functions can change the world in the future.

[Bobrox]

First time I know with Bitcoin become currency for deposit on some hype website and available used with Bitcoin only without accepted other currency for investing. Seems not any interested from Bitcoin because first time I know Bitcoin is not investment assets, day by day after I know with Bitcoin have chance with price increasing to earn much profit with Bitcoin investment. Get me chance forget with many kinds hype project and focus for investing in Bitcoin then spent much money for earning with hype without guarantee how long keep profitable and get capital back.

I know with Bitcoin almost lately and could be different my financial if early I know with Bitcoin, hope keep go ahead and have many planning with Bitcoin for investment assets at the future.

^I don't remember where exactly I heard BTC but as I remember it was somewhere on the internet back in 2015.
At that time Bitcoin faucet is very popular and I am searching for free money on the internet until I found BTC then I start digging for information and searching more faucet websites to have free BTC until I found freebitco.in which I thought before it was only a faucet but it is a gambling casino.
When people have an interest, they will find ways to learn on their own, they don't need people to teach them as long as they will understand how it will work they will go for it.

First time I heard about Bitcoin was back in 2013-2014. I was 16-17 years old.
I heard some of my class companions talking about Bitcoin and about mining, also about how one could mine Bitcoins to earn some money just letting one's computer on all the time, etc.

I did not give it much importance because back then I was very young and mostly into school and other teenager things.
I continued  hearing about Bitcoin as years passed until I decided to overcome my fear to volatility, get more informed and buy Bitcoin as a tool to manage my personal finances and as investment in the long term.

I don't really remember the exact year, but that was the first time I heard bitcoin from my BROTHER,,, and also my neighbor, and he told me he made a big profit from bitcoin, and that's when I started learning about bitcoin TO my brother and my neighbor. and to learn more about bitcoin I finally decided to join the bitcointalk forum.

[VanillaH]

I believe it was in 2013, during a bull run. I remember thinking, "Man, it's already too late to invest in it." Boy was I wrong!

In 2011 was the first time someone mention bitcoin to me, and i didn't put attention on that time and just let it go. 3 years after that i made my first bitcoin transaction, and it's fun because in 2014 i was feeling like i come late to this party, but with the years you learn that this party isn't over yet, and you are never late for it.

The bitcoin community and the way to buy it and sell it was totally different, now it's really simple.

Agree with you. Even if they join now, it's not too late because they can still buy and keep bitcoins today.
The year 2011 was the early years of the development of bitcoin or crypto, where not many people knew or heard of it, so for those who joined after this year, it felt a bit late to join.
But it's never too late to join bitcoin because we can join whenever we want.
I don't remember exactly when I joined or started using bitcoin but I think it was before 2014 but I'm not looking for more information about bitcoin.

[Leviathan.007]

For me it was a gift from my ex, five years ago when I had not any knowledge about bitcoin and blockchain and cryptocurrencies at all, she gave me a letter for my birthday, and inside that letter, she wrote me a recovery seed of a bitcoin wallet and explained me in a few line about bitcoin, that letter was completely confusing to me so I started doing some research and understood some a few things about bitcoin and bought some few satoshis until today I'm still read articles in the internet and doing research to increase my knowledge about bitcoin.

It was also back in 2017 when I first head about cryptocurrencies (BTC to be specific) and I was baffled about it. As someone who had no experience or anything whatsoever, the thought of having a decentralized currency was truly astonishing! Especially when my friend introduced me to this forum, it opened a plethora of opportunities to invest and to discover about the existence of BTC.

Now that it has been 5+ years now, I can truly say that BTC is something that is something innovative that everyone should know. I just hope that government prohibitions would allow its further implementation in order to take advantage of its uses.

I got to know Bitcoin around the middle of 2015. So maybe it's been almost 7 years that I've been with bitcoin following which way they're going. With Bitcoin I can have an extra income, it keeps me and my family enough for living expenses. Although I am currently getting a better job, Bitcoin is still an alternative to the extra income I get through trading. There are no regrets about Knowing Bitcoin, but it took a struggle to stay afloat to this day. I am sure that everyone who is convinced by bitcoin then he has enjoyed that belief. What I regret is that I am too late to join this forum. Because this forum is really very complete.

The first time I heard about bitcoin was thanks to a crypto project of an altcoin that later went to the ground, I did not know anything about bitcoin, in the project I was so maxilaistic that they said that currency was going to be bigger than Bitcoin, and as in that time and I did not know anything because I was ignorant I believed them, but when that currency fell and I do not know if it is currently a scam currency, I began to read about bitcoin and it was when I realized that this is the currency that It is the basis for all, there are still people in the world who do not know the whole truth about Bitcoin and that is the people who should know everything, that is why you have to talk and educate many people as much as possible about bitcoin, there are people who should wake up.

[budz0425]

The first time I heard of Bitcoin is 2016, my friend asked me to sign up under her referral on CoinsPH wallet account. then I read Bitcoin and I search Bitcoin on Google and Youtube. I explore how to cash in, cash out, and what Bitcoin is.

remembering the past when I first got to know Bitcoin around 2014, and even then I didn't know this forum, at that time I only focused on getting Bitcoin from various faucets, such as freebit, moonbit, and many others.  if I'm not mistaken when I found out Bitcoin coincided with the emergence of Altcoin Litecoin.  I was desperate because I couldn't earn anything from cryptocurrencies because I only focused on dice games, faucets and didn't try to trade or invest so I decided to quit and focus on other work.  and until now my knowledge in this industry is still in the learning stage because there are always other activities so I can't focus fully

All of those days, the thing in our mind is on how to spend up those coins and make out direct conversions whenever we do earn or get those coins and without even minding about holding.
If i do remember and count all of those coins that i do have then i might be that millionaire as of this moment but well it is really just a pain on remembering those things that you had missed out in the past.
Hearing new things will really be making those mistakes which is really that very common.If i had really just accumulate Bitcoin and other altcoins which are top altcoins now then
i might have a different financial status as of this point.Hearing things on first time will really mind boggled you if on what it is but for those who do see up some potential are the
ones who had been rewarded.

First, I believe you need to understand this. There's nothing bad in making mistakes, and the only bad thing is not learning from the mistake through the habit of making the same mistake again.
Second, you can't compare a common man who lives by Bitcoin with someone who's financially stable and into cryptocurrency for investment purposes. However, the common can also choose to hold her investment if she's disciplined enough and use the DCA method.

For sure, most of the people who started to use or heard of Bitcoin are from the internet. Even mine, I have before some internet gigs or sideline to make a few bucks off the internet for giving some of my time of a day, and that's the time I was still a student. And that's the time I started to explore Bitcoin and it is very life-changing, a lot of lessons were learned by just using and learning Bitcoin.

Not really. Just like the OP, some of them heard it on the news and that can be in the national television and on the radio. There's also news paper but most who know bitcoin are internet people. Like you I was also looking for a sideline online and I keep on searching for more ways on how to maximize my earnings.

One day I stumbled upon bitcoin on some sites and that is the start of my crypto journey. They are life changing because many opportunities have been unlocked later on which are related to them. Their pay rates are quite decent when compare to the gigs that we do previously. You are a scholar but btc do also teach you an extra lesson which aren't being taught in any university. That's cool.

as well as me, with me by seeing news on the internet I became curious, and finally coincidentally met a friend who directed me to join bitcointalk. from there I initially earned from cryptocurrency to have the capital to invest little by little. By seeing the current campaign that has an unsatisfactory payout, then I switched to investing with capital from the previous campaign. so I think I was very lucky to know bitcoin early
