Would like to give credit to precious metals.. Was involved in it, then came to know about the bitcoins. But was not quite a beliver at that time. So was little bit late in joining the wagon.

First heard about it through the Time magazine's article about the deep web and the Silk Road bust; became really interested when a bitcoin became $600 a piece.  FYI:  we are still very early in the bitcoin game so don't worry about having missed out on anything; we are still ahead of the curve.

I read about it on Digg during 2013. Got interested, did a lot of Googling then, got involved and signed up on this forum too

I heard about them really early in 2012  I think. But got into it last year november. Just kick myself of not getting earlier.

I read a very early article about it, and looked into mining. I am not sure if the GPU miners had been written at that point, but the CPU I had was supposed to take 180 days to solo a block and they were worth cents. I filed it away as "interesting, gotta check back on that when I get more powerful hardware"... so months/years scooted by and I was rejigging and rebuilding machines in late 2012 and Jan 2013 and suddenly reminded myself, "Oh, gotta look into bitcoin again" and holy crap WTFBBQ things were taking off, so I threw a crappy GPU rig together and ordered BFL singles.

In mid 2013, when bitcoin was becoming more noticeable. When will it reach half of the populace on the net?

Nov 2012, in the dentist's waiting room, on a tech magazine

How the blockchain system works caught my eye, and I was curious about what it'll become in the future

End 2013 i learned an article.

[Don007]

Honestly, I don't really know. I guess I forgot it.

But to make an educated guess, I think I read an article about it somewhere on the internet. And started mining (altcoins) as soon as I bought a new desktop with a HD7950 GPU, which earned me enough money to cover the costs of the buy .

Friend told me ... about month ago

I felt like the latest person in the world who does not know.
But when I see all the newbies, new(bi)er than me  .. that makes me feel better.

The brother of a friend told me about people that earn money with their pc's. I checked it out and was told its too late to mine. Its not worth it. That was 2011. At the end i bought some bitcoins and shortly after MtGox was hacked. Bitcoins crashed and i lost interest for another year...
