I always though its 3-4 years ago..

I believe it's conception was '96-'98.. and the block chain is not THE definative blockchain, for there was a time the blockchain website, which is only a copy, did not exist, whilst bitcoin's were being given away free the way it should be, starting at 1 per hour, that went down to 0.5 per hour, I left the net for a while, came back, and suddenly I gotta download some blockchain crap, which does not have my first 3 address's, or my kid's wallet address's in it, because they were created before the current blockchain. Beat that.. when I joined here, I was already 2 years mining.
Edit, seems I am forgetting what century I'm in, make those years after the end of the 90's pmsl...
But yup, '96-98 had something to do with bitcoin's creation..

I saw a YouTube video on Bitcoin in early 2013. I crashed (literally) in March of 2013 and had temporary short term amnesia. I woke up in a hospital and got my iPad and started trying to find that same video again to no avail.
I eventually did find that YouTube video like a year later and I realized why I hadn't been able to find it. In my mind it was Hank Green talking about Bitcoin but when I rediscovered the video it was an unknown person talking about Bitcoin. In fact I din't even realize it was the same video until the very end when he host said "you can't turn Bitcoin into a watch."
But that's not the whole story. In 2010 and 2011 I know I was specifically going online to find alternative ways of making money like trading horse racing odds or gold farming on WoW. I also played online poker and even after black Friday I still thought there might be a way to win play poker chips and trade them for real money. When I look back on that time I think it is rather incredible that I didn't stumble onto Bitcoin then. That's just a testament to how underground it was at the time. But I know I must have sort of heard about it then even if I don't clearly remember it. I think someone may have mentioned Bitcoin mining to me in passing when I brought up gold farming on WoW. It took a crash to wake me up to Bitcoin. I think most people are still asleep. After leaving the hospital in April 2013 I started researching Bitcoin more. I stated mining in May and I started buying in June.

I've never heard of it. Is it some sort of magic internet money?

When I first heard it in 2012, price is so low like $10 - $15 a piece. I like the technology but I did not able to buy bitcoins there are very few exchanges. And I didn't expect it's price to rise so high.

How come you already have collected it in 2003? any proof of it.? I kinda confused here.

Beginning of this year.
Same, I saw a documentary about it, it was either on discovery channel or National Geographic, I don't remember exactly and interestingly it was about someone who bought and had lot of bitcoin apparently had lost his key and it got me curious and I researched and I learned that I was too late. But better late than never. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
