I heard it from one of my best friends a few months ago. Smiley

So if you bought in November/December, is he still your friend?  Grin


No worries though, we'll be out of this slump in a month or two.

I don't exactly remember. I think it was 2010 - 2011 when I heard about it.

I remember it being under $1 >.<

I remember realizing there was no limit to the potential value of Bitcoin.

I remember wanting to buy some >.<

Yah if I'd made the effort to buy $50 worth when I FIRST heard about it.....








.... I'd have probably have got overexcited when they were worth $20 each and sold out for the price of a  used car.  Roll Eyes

In case you haven't hear it before; we could one day be saying "I remember when bitcoins were under $1,000".

Through a friend who is a grey hat. He explained it to me and then I looked into it on my own. I am a trader and I read up on economics (fiat currency debasement, Austrian school, etc.) so bitcoin has that appeal in addition to the technological aspect.

Yep.   playing game, on a few servers, found a few friends, (one an admin on a server)  that server shut down, kept in contact, talkeda bout starting up a server etc...

That admin friend was already into bitcoin a bit, (friend of his gave him coins to start)

I first heard about the BTC in 2011, but never took it seriously. Got my first BTCs only in 2013 January, after my friend compelled me to collect some.

Read something in Time magazine in late 2012. Bought a $100 graphics card. Never got it set up, worst decision ever. Heard about it in late 2013 when the price was booming, then got interested again.

Guessing that a $100 card would have been something like a HD5770,  ~200Mh set up right, mining from 1st November 2012 to 1st October 2013 would have got you about 6 bitcoins Cheesy

That is the card I bought. Stop making me jealous of myself in another parallel universe Grin
I was actually probably going to mine LTC, probably would've mined more than 50 BTC worth of LTC

I heard about bitcoin in another forum related to internet marketing. that time the bitcoin price is only $5. Due to many negative commends from other members i did not join the bitcoin bandwagon. I am regret it now.
