Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

How did you all guys get into bitcoin? I got into bitcoin when i was Googling about how to buy a memory card?
A colleague of mine asked us "Have you heard of bitcoin?" a year ago.  |

I'd heard about it in chatrooms/channels of games years ago. Most people thought it was a joke that would never last by nerds who didn't understand currency, so I didn't have enough faith to spend time learning how to mine at the time. Wish I had, I'd be a millionaire. I got back into cryptocurrencies again now that I have money to invest and kept seeing dogecoin on the front page of Reddit.

Welcome on these forums  . I bet many people over here have the same experience, we all wished that we jumped onboard earlier . However, I don't think you're too late. We still have a long way ahead of us . |

I started paying attention to Bitcoin after watching the Keiser Report on RT's youtube channel. Kind of wish I'd bought when I first heard about it, but left it a little late and bought in November during that massive up spike. Pity that his "maxcoin" launch was such a shambles, though. I began as just a speculator, but having done a fair amount of research, I'm now a big proponent of the ethos behind cryptocurrency. A decentralised, debt-free economy with no crooked bankers taking a cut. |

At first time I found out about Bitcoins from my friend who told me all the advantages disadvantages of cryptocurrency. But I decided to take a chance and here I am!

To quote my first post on this forum: Well, I heard of it on a swedish forum called "Flashback". So I got interested and read about it and thought "wow, that is a really awesome idea with digital anonymous money". And then I started mining, using faucets and so on and finally I earned my first Bitcoin (yesterday).
I'm just sad that I sold that bitcoin around $70 a (few) month(s) later...  |

Nice. I guess you are talking about an ad of a bitcoin-accepting business, right?  |

At first I heard of it in 2008 in some magazine, but did not pay much attention. And a couple of months ago my friend started asking me about cryptocurrency, how it is safe to mine and what possible risks are. Now we got a couple of PC with ATI 7970.

According to the bitcoin wiki, the bitcoin white paper was published on Oct 31, 2008 and the genesis block was found on Jan 3 2009. I don't think you can see a story of bitcoin in magazine in 2008... |
