When You Heard About Bitcoin For the First Time?

[Adbitco]

My first to know about bitcoin was on Twitter then followed by radio stations and friends, then i was not that focused to know things about online since in the layman language was that " Onliner are fraudsters " which is a common language from part of the world i came from and if anyone sees you googling online they could have this feeling you are a fraudster, this was really tough for me to go into, less until i found a friend who always talks about bitcoin this, bitcoin that ect. So i had to meet with him and get some basic idea and possibly got to know about this forum and yet i wasn't giving it much attention after awhile i started dipping into some important news about bitcoin, the last price dip (2017/18) made it populouse in my country flying all over the media.

I still remember the first time I got to know bitcoin, precisely in late 2014. At that time I was looking for information about online businesses that can get dollars and accidentally I found an article on how to get bitcoin through a free faucet. Since that day until now bitcoin has changed my life and I am very grateful.

This was during the first big rise in bitcoin. I heard on the news how one guy paid for pizza with a currency that does not exist, and now they are worth crazy money.

Majority of people would surely be hooked up into those years where bitcoin did reach all time high of $19k+ where everything is really been hyped as i remember.
I do hear off about bitcoin earlier than that which i do able to know about its existence because of those investment schemes wayback and later on i did made myself to learn further more on what
is crypto is all about.

Lots of golden opportunities on missing out on making huge money but well lets just move on and continue.Important thing here is that you do know on what you should
gonna do on the current condition.

the first time I heard my bitcoin was around 2016 and at that time it was still cheap, but I didn't buy it because at that time I didn't understand bitcoin, and at that time I was still in school so I didn't focus on bitcoin, after I graduated from new school I studied about bitcoin,, around 2020. and at that time the price of btc had gone up, but even though the price had gone up, I still bought it because I saw good potential for the future.

[Techkoy407]

when I first got to know bitcoin, at that time I heard that there was a friend who was successful from bitcoin.
I kept thinking what is bitcoin?
whether some kind of gambling or not,

At that time I thought what is bitcoin, and why it can be valuable.

after that I searched and studied bitcoin, until I bought it because I was interested in investing.

I first came to know about Bitcoin through a friend of mine I don't know from where he came to know about it but one day he told me about Bitcoin and the ecosystem of Bitcoin attracted me to it and from then on I started researching Bitcoin and got inspired to use Bitcoin. And that's how I got involved with Bitcoin since 2014

Likewise. I first came to know Bitcoin through a friend, my colleague we worked together, we actually bought some satoshis then to pay for one online access and after that, I never really looked at Bitcoin as what I can invest in because he never really explained it to me, only that we needed it to pay for that access but a year or so later I got to really know what Bitcoin is and it is a good option for investment and this must have been around 2016.

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 😁

Information without taking action at that point, makes as a new person in the industry, because few that had about Bitcoin and invest as of early stage price, are millionaires base on the level of emotion and greed to control and hold Bitcoin price hit from$1000 to $69,000, has made the investor change of level towards the Cryptocurrency investment.

Know Bitcoin since 2014 and become investor at the early when Bitcoin still have lower price actually have been richest person right now, but can't expected with how progress Bitcoin could be on the top higher price nowadays. Since 2014 easy how to get Bitcoin not only with investing but also have many kinds of faucet and website available to earn Bitcoin with free, but considering Bitcoin values still drop not any one interested to be investor or interested to know with Bitcoin.

I have late know with Bitcoin and first time I know not as investment assets, although Bitcoin price first time I know under $1,000 but not excited for investing because I don't popular with Bitcoin could be investment assets for the future.

The first time I really knew about Bitcoin, it was in 2015, at that time I didn't have a Bitcoin account, only at that time I was still looking for free Bitcoins from Freebitco.in, maybe all members here are not so foreign and know this site.  , and after a few years I joined the Bitcoin community, and was introduced to this Forum, and at that time I really didn't understand, How to use this forum, because the directions given were not enough for me to understand, as time went by I was new  understand this forum, like a place to discuss and find work on this fourm, to get Bitcoin from the results of our work, and try to join a bounty campaign, and I didn't think I could get an income that I've never had out there, and that's when I  don't want to miss the moment in that moment, to stay focused on my goal of earning income outside of my real job, da  n until now I'm still doing it...

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

A lot of us passed through BTC and memories how we acquire it. One thing we didn't know is that the value of BTC will reach more than $60K+.

I still remember how I spend my BTC on HYIP days when it gets a trend on the internet I lost some of it and it could be worth a lot today.

And I think the best option and strategy now is to buy altcoins that have big potential to increase their value in the future.

Well I can remember a Friend of mine told me about Bitcoin and the block chain technology in early 2020  in bar late night at one of our hangout in the town,he showed me online the price of 1 Bitcoin that was around $6,965.72. and we were foolish enough to consider it another click bait add or a diminishing technology and didn’t look ahead into the matter , Fast forward 11 months. At the year going ended at price of 1 bitcoin double $29,374 the highest it had ever been  that kind of growth grabbed my attention and i got deeper and deeper into the technology starting by learning the basics of blockchain technology to knowing how to mine bitcoin to how to trade it , Right now i am completely invested with all my earning into this budding technology and hopping that it would be the right bet at right time.

This is my most painful memory. In 2011, my brother asked me to borrow money to buy a computer to mine bitcoins. I searched online for what bitcoin was and it said it was a scam. Then I turned my brother down, he was young and he couldn't carry out without my funds. The second time I heard about bitcoin was in 2019 when my boss introduced me to bitcoin again.

[Blawpaw]

I first heard about Bitcoin back in early 2011. I was so stupid that I did not even care and did not bothered to investigate it further, I prompty considered it as one Ponzi scheme or scam and decided to ignore it completely. It was only in late 2013 that I looked at it with looking eyes and finally understood what is was all about. If I did the same back in 2011 I would be rich.

Despite all of this, once I understood what Bitcoin and cryptos were all about I promptly started to mine and started to use it as currency. This is actually one of the reasons I do not have more coins that I do now, but hell, I did contributed part of my life to it and help make it what it has become and ended up having my share.

Today, I can say Bitcoin changed my life to better. And we are still just starting the ride.

When a thing of this kind happen try to research of cryptocurrency or bitcoin because since Bitcoin started existing many people learnt it through online not ordinary for just like that. It's viral of Bitcoin and many people is giving the knowledge freely like the way the bitcointalk do give the knowledge of Bitcoin for Free, if you want learn more about Bitcoin you can start from here and more of cryptocurrency without looking for second way of Bitcoin.

[Jossque]

The first time I saw Bitcoin was when I was on Twitter. I had the opportunity to meet it because of an advertisement made by a crypto exchange.
I immediately started trying to understand its technology.  It was a long and tiring adventure for me. I'm glad I recognized and saw Bitcoin. You can't stay behind this technology.

Didn't your brother argue you on why you said it was scam? He should have show you proofs that it was truly legit. This is why it's also important to listen on others and not just ignore them easily thinking that they are wrong and we are always right.

It was amazing that at his young age he is already interested on those things while many young people do only have an interest in video games and other things who are not really that beneficial for them. I think on that time, I was still a fresh graduate from highschool and I am only relaxing, and sometimes playing. I only heard bitcoins I think on 2014-2015 but I didn't got involved with it immediately. I dont know why so I also have a regret.

Just a normal impression by people who are not yet aware of its potential and that is just okay except for the regrets and such. But it will never be too late to engage with this developing technology. There is still that 'promising' future ahead for this industry. For sure there are people who had the same experience; being introduced to cryptocurrency before and not paying that much attention 'coz at first it won't be interesting if you are not really into it. What makes this technology interesting is the profit to be earned from investing and its nature of price volatility, atleast for now. It may not be interesting as a currency to some at the present, but anything which generates profit is wonderful right?

I don't know exactly when I'm sure when I heard about bitcoin and joined this forum just to find out I wasn't interested in owning it yet, but after the bitcoin price was around 1500 $ I said WOW this digital money is fantastic, but I don't have bitcoin in full, only a small part.
if at that time I bought at the beginning maybe today I already have many times more than my initial bitcoins
but let it pass, but now I am ambitious to be able to hold my btc to the next new ATH
