Bitcointalk I learnt is one of the biggest Bitcoin forums (if not the biggest), but I wonder how many of us already knew about Bitcoin before joining here?
Did you first hear about Bitcoin elsewhere (maybe from a friend, social media, or the news), or was Bitcointalk your first real introduction to bitcoin?
For me, I already heard about bitcoin some years ago from my boyfriend. I made a little research on it to be sure my bf is not into what we call yahoo. After knowing about bitcoin, I was hoping and praying he introduced me to it one day. I was so happy the day he did and I think I am loving bitcoin more than him now.
I’d love to hear your own story!
I believe that 80% of users who joined before 2019 learnt about the forum through crypto airdrops and bounty campaigns, which were quite popular in 2016 and 2017, whereas those who registered after 2019 were introduced by some older members with the intention of participating in bounty and signature campaigns.
There are very few accounts from 2019 that claim to have discovered this forum while searching for Bitcoin questions or looking for airdrops--the majority of users registered through friends and family.
Yeah I buy this idea and that's also true but i had a different story though even if what you said is correct.
I knew about bitcoin since 2017/2018 when Ponzi scheme was so rampant in the country with MMM topping the chart but I was totally scared of taking those risk back then because everything seemed like scam including bitcoin because those that were introducing it were also making it look like a ponzi scheme and I couldn't invest but no regrets and I would say that, I didn't know about it that was why I didn't take it serious.
The forum challenged everything and gave me a better understanding of what bitcoin was all about and yes I would say that, if not for the forum, I wouldn't have appreciated bitcoin atleast maybe not this much as I do now.
