I was expecting you tell us your own story, where you hear about it and how you were able to pickup the courage and motivation to get into crypto, that is if you have even started investing in crypto or still gathering information.

Maybe the Op just wants to hear other people’s stories and is not ready to share his own. I don’t really know why the OP is really interested in hearing other people’s stories. When I first heard about crypto on  social media, whenever I am on YouTube, I do come across some videos about bitcoin and some other altcoins, so with time I do end up doing more research and learning more about it, and I started trading some altcoins even though I lost so much money then, but with time there was improvement.
 
If you want to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency generally, then the forum is just the best place for you because you will be able to ask questions and interact with people here, and there are lots of people with experience who will be sharing their knowledge with you. Also, if you are a newbie on the forum here, it’s better if you just start from the section where you created this thread, which is the beginning's, and help.

This forum is incomparable. Considering the amount of knowledge I have gotten so far from this forum, I can't keep it to myself but to try as much to refer other who have like minds in learning about cryptocurrency. The blogs can be really discouraging at times as they pose to configure our mind towards thinking that crypto is an invention for criminal activities and other sorts of hack, but in real sense they are only kicking about crypto because they don't have full idea what it entails, I wish they could see from my perspective.

Cryptocurrency has grown so popular that you don't even need anyone to tell you before you no that such thing exists because even in the news and social media it has been the talk on daily basis but though majority of people come into Bitcoin through social media and also one of the best aspect I love about Bitcoin is the fact that anyone can start investing on Bitcoin even without having so much information or idea, so as a newbie there is no limits to how far you will go on Bitcoin investment but however in as much as too much knowledge may not actually be too necessary but you need to learn some of the basic things about Bitcoin in other not to completely lack of knowledge on your investment and also choosing holding will be the best option for you because it doesn't take much of your energy and time, so for the safety of your investment as a newbie focus on holding.

Bitcoin is now open secret. Now people are getting to know about Bitcoin through various magazines, news channels, websites. Even now questions about Bitcoin appear in various competitive exams. This is how people are getting to know about Bitcoin. But most people know about Bitcoin from their friends or acquaintances.

Not only that he's interested to hear others stories without sharing his own but I also noticed that Op is not ready to explore himself on this crypto space. Someone who's curious to know about something will definitely dedicate their time to it but Op has not been online after making this post and I doubt whether he read through this thread to know how people heard and come across crypto in different ways.

Op, in case you don't know much about crypto, this is the perfect platform for you to equip yourself with necessary information and knowledge about crypto. From the forum name, you can see that we talk mainly about bitcoin here with extension to altcoins and of course to society related issues since we all live in a society, economy and how it affects crypto industry. The forum is up and ready for your questions, contribution, opinions and suggestions but without being active here, you won't get the best out of it.
