Actually my first experience was thanks to DOGE, i sold my mined DOGE for BTC in Cryptsy, then downloaded window QT and made 0.15 out of it. It was a great feeling.

I researched the Bitcoin technology and it seemed a positive step.

Hello!
Let's have a little look back moment together.

I imagine there will be a low of spam on this thread, but here you go. I first heard about bitcoin several years ago while reading about silk road. I visited the site and learned that they only accept bitcoin (at the time this was  to me). Reading more about it I saw that Ross/DPR would guarantee the fiat value of bitcoin in the event of a dispute with a vendor (and a refund was processed) or at least they gave the option for this. I believe this was back in 2011. Unfortunately I did not do any additional research as to how bitcoin works nor how to mine bitcoin at this time. I read about both Silk Road and bitcoin probably at least 10-15 times from then to mid to late 2013 when I finally decided to get more "into" bitcoin and purchased some at higher levels then the market is showing now. |

I read about BTC like a few years ago but I was stupid enough to understand how cool this thing is. |

I first heard about bitcoin in 2011. i downloaded the wallet software and installed it. i opened and ran it and it was so slow. i closed it and forgot about it for years. i was convinced it was just a scam. then in 2013 i saw a news story about it, and ive been around here, for better or worse, ever since.

On April 2013, then i started to collect BTC from faucet. I also remember selling my 0.3 BTC for about ~$30 on September 2013, that was a really bad decision, if only i sell it on November 2013 i would've got $300 |

When i first herd of it, i dont really know. I am sure was before i actually downloaded wallet and even tried to solo mine them a bit. Wallet i got in beginning of 2013. Doing some faucets and two days latter when i saw they dont bring much i just forgot about it. Then about 14 months latter opened that wallet again and saw that what earned in 2 days of solving captchas is not really that little of money. Since BTC had 2 rallies in mean time. So i got to this forum, that helped me to actually buy some.

I heard about BTC during the hype last year so I'm a relative newcomer but I've become more and more involved with the community. Now I have several crypto sites, investments and all sorts of projects related to it and it has become my passion.

It arrived in the mail. Beautiful. Great packaging. Really worth the $600 I spent on it. And I could plug it into the USB of my laptop and it would mine at the same speed as my video cards!!
The USB asicminer! Good times!!

I can't remember when I first heard of it but it must've been early 2013. I bought some off ebay with paypal in mid 2013 ans was worried that I was going to get scammed haha. One seller tried to get me to send money via a bank transfer outside of ebay for a cheaper price and I think he wouldve scammed me had I done that.
