How did you get into bitcoin?

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. Cheesy

Should've listen to your uncle earlier! Tongue

I heard about bitcoin in Jan. So started mining . Cheesy

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 Wink

. I bet many people over here have the same experience, we all wished that we jumped onboard earlier Wink

.

However, I don't think you're too late. We still have a long way ahead of us Wink

I knew bitcoin a year ago, then i created a blockchain wallet. I used to had 0.3 BTC in inputs.io , luckily i withdraw before it hacked Cheesy

And how did i get into it ? seriously i'm really curious too, i've asked myself and try to recall my memory. But still i can't remember it -_- funny -_-

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... Sad

Advertisment....

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

Don't really remember but I think I found it on 4chan.

My friend introduced me to play, and when the price is 18 dollars.

I found out about Bitcoin from my friend who read an article in Wiki as I remember

I forget the exact details, but I believe I first saw the term "bitcoin" on a forum...

First time I heard about Bitcoin from Euronews

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...
