Hi all,friends ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think that this question will seem very interesting,because the story of acquaintance and first investment in bitcoin will never be forgotten Someone found out from friends,someone read on the internet,and someone may be standing at the birth of the cryptocurrency itself Share your stories my friends,because each story is unique and interesting

I think I'm too bored to answer this question, because I'm going to answer the same thing as before. and many questions are similar to this and will be answered similar to the previous answers, it's better to make or tell and answer like your question, because it will be more interesting and there will be discussions and suggestions for you and everyone.
excuse me.

I learned about Bitcoin in 2010, my friend who was working as a software developer at a time told me about some "magic internet money". I didn't pay attention and just lived on. In 2011 I accidentally found this forum and realized Bitcoin has huge potential. I bought some and here I am 12 years later still HODLing. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) P.S.

I heard about Bitcoin on a sad day for me since and I didn't have much to do and I was looking for information about using Kodi I accidentally came across a telegram chat that had just opened and it was exactly Bitcoin Italia of the good hostafat moderator. I was immediately fascinated by this technology that I never walked away from and continued to educate myself more and more.

If you did manage to keep hold of your btc in the ath you are probably one of the few that managed to do that. Most people sold even the die hard btc fans. You would probably be better selling at ath and then reinvesting your money when there is a price correction.

First time in high school (2013-2014) when someone mentioned about "mining" or "using your PC to earn money". I was not well informed enough to get into it. I decided to dive in this community and learn properly in 2020, out of concerns for my family's way to save money and have access to some asset which would not de-valuate as quick as our local FIAT currency. this happened while I was reading on Twitter about Bitcoin as an alternative to some payment processors which back then were difficult to access to us.

It's too long a story, I know bitcoin from the beginning because it was in 2014 until now, it still stands to continue to stand upright with bitcoin. But what's more interesting is bringing about a change in our surroundings, friends and relatives now have started to switch to investing in bitcoin and they believe in the interest in bitcoin what I told them. Most importantly BUY BTC, and long term HODLers. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was because of the news of Silk Road 2.0 being shut down by the FBI. It was big enough news to make it to TVs and websites outside the bubble of crypto enthusiasts, so as you can imagine, my initial encounter didn't leave a positive opinion about Bitcoin. However, it gradually started changing as I learned more about banks, fiat, and how Bitcoin is different, and also figured that you can't really blame a neutral tool for being used for bad purposes (and all sorts of money are used by some people for bad purposes).

I believe it has been discussed hundreds of times. Ponzi schemes were once popular, if I recall correctly. Yes, I have invested in a couple of revenueshare sites. Then I started using fiat currencies like Perfect Money and Payza. Some people encouraged me to use Bitcoin, which I disliked because it is volatile. But now I thank them for inspiring me, and I'm slowly learning about Bitcoin. When I discovered how Ponzi worked, I decided to leave them. Of course, I am opposed to all Ponzi schemes in order to protect people from them.

Every first time is always unforgettable. First kiss, sex, and so on. The first time owning a BTC is like conquering a dream that you may want to fast-forward the year to 10 years ahead thinking about what you'd be doing if the value turns a million.
I got my BTC from an employer who after I worked for him also gave me 25ETH while its value is just $7. If I just knew it will be this big, I would have kept them also.

My decision to start using Bitcoin was influenced by a friend I had in university. Despite the fact that I have been hearing a lot about Bitcoin and seeing it on the internet. I was thrilled to learn about it from my friend because I enjoy learning new things, especially about Bitcoin. I then began my Bitcoin journey in 2019 by making a small investment.

Share your stories my friends,because each story is unique and interesting
Well I have shared my story many times in similar topic like this. But for you, I will do it again. Here's how it went. There were news about a game called Blue Whale which was available in the dark web. It seemed interesting to me, so I did some research on that. And there were this payment method where you had to pay in BTC. That's the first time I came to know about BTC. But I was not involved with the market yet. Cause the news wrote all kind of negative things about BTC. Then I came to realize that it's not bitcoin's fault, it was those who created the game. Then I forgot about it. in early 2020 I was told that you can earn some money on the internet. That caught my eyes. Then I did some research and found out that you can mine them. So I searched the internet about mining. And from that point I got involved with this community.

Probably people have a different experience when discovering BTC but for me, I discover it on my own. Back in those days when I was new in the crypto space, I remember looking for a platform that something I can earn money while at home, after such time I discovered a platform that has BTC airdrop while looking to gain money and altcoins airdrop very popular at that day, I can even earn more than 100 bucks just collecting airdrop. Freebitco.in is what I mean and until now still, they are giving airdrop.

it was from one of my friends. we used to play an online game together and that's how we get know each other. one day i needed something to buy in the game and he was like, let me help you. in one minute he made that purchase. i was so shocked that he can buy it that quickly. so i asked him how did he do it. from then i learned about cryptocurrency. as my interest grew, i started to learn more about it.

I did want to sell some part during the last cycle but I missed the top completely. I'm hodling but 12 years is a very long time so I'm ready to sell (part of my stash) just waiting for the price to reach my target.

I have learned about bitcoin from some pyramid schemes on social media. Back in the day first I bought 0.03 Bitcoin to join that scheme ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I won't regret joining that ponzi site I got to learn about the crypto industry from that and later I got myself into trading and started my first trading at poloniex. it was from one of my friends. we used to play an online game together and that's how we get know each other. one day i needed something to buy in the game and he was like, let me help you. in one minute he made that purchase. i was so shocked that he can buy it that quickly. so i asked him how did he do it. from then i learned about cryptocurrency. as my interest grew, i started to learn more about it.
Which coin your friend used to buy game credit for you? Smaller transactions like game credit cost you a lot of fees if you pay with bitcoin comparing the price of your product.

Yes, it would be more interesting if OP told about his first bitcoin investment to make the story more interesting. But given the current market situation, such questions also help people be more motivated or engaged. The topic, it's too old for you, but I believe a lot of newbies haven't seen it before. It won't be boring if you can inspire new market entrants here.

I found out about bitcoin, because I had to. It was kinda my fate. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I needed to cash out a few bucks from my PayPal account, but it wasn't letting me do it for some reasons that I don't remember exactly (and that I don't want to disclose). Before I knew it, it blocked me access. So I had to switch onto something less pro-censorship. A client asked me if I accepted bitcoin... and here I am. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

There are many threads like this available through the search feature, but I’ll play along, again. I read an article in 2011 while at work about a new decentralized currency that was exploding in value. It was being used like cash on the internet and that fascinated me. The more I learned, the more bullish I became for about five years. It was a great rabbit hole to walk down.
