Back in June 2013 I tried to buy an alpaca sock with Bitcoin. Got scammed multiple times just trying to buy my first bitcoin haha. Finally resorted to using bitquick.co to buy and sell safely.

At first though I tried making a safer trading thread and all kinds of stuff. I got hacked from Mt. Gox for like 22 BTC. It was a ROUGH introduction. I actually got lucky and made like 5 BTC return by Chinacoin and BBQCoin if anyone remembers those

1 and half year back i just came to know about btc through google search, but then i never give it a try, and after that 1 year ago when the stellar launched then i just got to know more about btc to exchange my stellar to btc.

I have to agree , stellar really did alot to BTC community , i have heard from alot of people i know that they got in thanks to stellar's
Actually there was no choice , it required facebook account and thus people started SE'ing it and even put it on mturk

Heard about Silk Road back in 2012 and thought Bitcoin was interesting, but never pursued or dived in just yet.

In 2013, is when I dove head first, and got into mining, buying, reading and researching, etc.

Now, I'm all in.

It was actually wise of you to not dive in for Silk Road , that shit was illegal
With all in , i suppose you mean with all your heart , not like in with all your money?

It was Ron Paul`s Fault. He said follow the money so I did. It lead me to the evils of the Central Banking System and The FED. Looking for alternative Currency I found Hours and other currency which lead me to Crypto Bitcoin

I just know about bitcoin on ads and forum, first time I just know bitcoin only, I'm not interest with alt coin, time goes by I know about alt coin and start to search worth alt coin just my simple story

[Madness]

I was watching some video's and I've seen couple of videos on the right side Bitcoin for beginners , what is Bitcoin etc ... It was by chance to be honest , so I googled a little bit .. The tutorial was asking to download Bitcoin Core so I did download it and install it , it was taking too long to Synchronize with the network so I left and Unistalled the wallet ... then by chance also , saw some articles so this time I learned more about Bitcoin then started learning thing by thing and asking a lot of questions on this forum . and now finally I learned all I need to know about it and here I'am using it

Always was interested in mathematics.  Always fascinated with secret codes, and computers, and security.
Got much more into cryptography from Zimmerman's pgp in the early 90's.  Interest in Bitcoin came from a history of disappointments.  Digicash, frustrations with having a merchant account in the 90's and trying to do online sales.  Work doing coding for POS systems and technologies in fin-tech, stock analysis, William O'Neil & Co, and for banks in the mid 90's helped refine an understanding of the problems.  Followed by a career in multinational telecom and datacom security set the stage.

Not going to write more about my introduction to Bitcoin here, but suffice to say, I was a very ripe audience for my introduction to it, and immediately loved the idea.

I had heard of it years ago, I just never looked it up.  Recently my father heard about Bitcoin and wanted me to look it up and explain it to him. So I did, and as I learned more and more about it, I got more excited, since it's an awesome technology, that fixes so many problems concerning fiat. He's more into it for speculative purposes, but I like that it helps those who can't even afford to have bank accounts, and there aren't any sneaky fees, etc like the banks charge from time to time.

Also I wasn't getting as much work recently, and I was able to get paid in BTC for graphic work, which was a really nice experience. Now, I'm just collecting as much as I can, wherever I can, and writing my guide to introduce others to it also.

[MARK GARCIA]

Hi guys. Bitcoin first caught my attention maybe around mid 2014. Most of my life I never had the slightest idea of how digital everything would be. Now that the world populations rely on computer systems. It is the best time for a  pure digital currency to replace the dollar. So when I heard of bitcoin  it made perfect sense no doubt. How ever it is critical we establish the system correctly.

I read about bitcoin in the Wall Street Journal after the first big rise to 31 USD and the subsiquent fall.  However, I didn't get into it until much later.  It is such an interesting concept and offers some real advantages in international transfers and avoiding chargebacks.

[Meuh6879]

because my country can freeze any account to pay bankster (since dec 2013) ... so, my gov don't protect me from stealing.
so, i protect my money with bitcoin.

well ... actually   the first reason is because i have many time explose the limit of my credit card ... and the bank don't allow to spend MY MONEY AVAILABLE ON MY ACCOUNT.

And we call this "professionnals" ...

That is very similar story to mine. In my case it was Mt. Gox that first brought me to bitcoin in 2013. Luckily for me, I wanted to first read and do some of my own research on the subject, so I miss both the rally from the end of 2013 and Mt. Gox hoax. Since then, I am pretty much in, with all ups and downs included.

Oh! that was fun, to try mining for newbie's , we never knew that it was pretty much useless from GPU's but still fun

You have got a little too much expectation of it , i know many of us expect bitcoin to replace fiat but that harsh truth is that is not happening even if bitcoin goes mainstream but still it can become a global currency

so it caught interest for two of you simultaneously, pretty cool! Good luck with the guide

I first heard about Bitcoin in late 2010. It was in a linux IRC chatroom (I don't remember which). We were discussing BOINC and other distributed computing projects and a guy named MagicalTux (yup that MagicalTux) started talking about Bitcoin mining, and how that all worked.

I looked into Bitcoin and I didn't really understand it and I didn't realize the importance of the fact it was decentralized, and most of the explanations to questions I had were very technical and long, there wasn't many beginner-friendly articles around. I actually found BitcoinTalk and created an account, but never posted on it. I found some website that sold stuff and accepted Bitcoin. All of the products were priced in Satoshis, and while I was browsing the prices slightly changed due to variances in the Bitcoin price. At this point I thought this was way too complicated to ever amount to anything, stuff was priced with 8 decimal points there was lots of confusing technical jargon and it all seemed kind of pointless too.

I heard about Bitcoin again in late 2011 from an article about the Silk Road and thats when I got very curious about it and decided to read up about it again as I had clearly underestimated its power the first time. This time there was lots of information available, there were plenty of websites accepting it and everything was much more polished and I could see the technology actually working this time, so I decided to get more involved. Lost ~15BTC on Bitcoinica, ~10BTC Pirateat40, ~1BTC Instawallet, ~1BTC to a hack due to a reused password and lost BTC on some loans too but ended up making it back on the ones that paid back. In USD terms at the time none of those losses were significant. I was one of the luckier ones

Yep! you sure were/are , at that time the price was not that significant to effect that 10 to 15 btc losses and am happy you made good with it

because my country can freeze any account to pay bankster (since dec 2013) ... so, my gov don't protect me from stealing.
so, i protect my money with bitcoin.

well ... actually  the first reason is because i have many time explose the limit of my credit card ... and the bank don't allow to spend MY MONEY AVAILABLE ON MY ACCOUNT.

Wow! what country is that

first heard of btc in july 2013, and i start buying btc when btc price goes to $1k+

[slaveforanunnak1]

I heard Andreas on Joe Rogan podcast on one  January 28, 2014 on my way home from work.  I was mining that night with my macbook using GUIminer (needless to say it went no where LOL) Now I'm a complete addict to where the first thing i checked every morning is /r/bitcoin after turning off the alarm. I lay in bed quite to make sure i don't wake the lady, cus she is "not a morning person" and read for a good 15 minutes before I even get up to take a shower.

I allways was proud of my PC, and when i heard about the thingy that makes you money depending how your GPU is strong, i had to give it a shot and see whats my performance.
Then i lost interest until it started growing in price again..
From then on, all i was doing is buying more GPUs , until asics came out.
I actually had alot of funds from that old bitcoin fountain that was giving away 5btc , but lost them in time, banging my head on the wall ever since... some older users can relate..

cheers

[pozmu]

I read article about that scandinavian guy who bought a flat for ~30$ worth of BTC (he bought 5000BTC in 2009).
I knew a bit about bitcoins earlier because it was mentioned in article about Silk Road but I didn't check it carefully enough

[Mikestang]

I have been into stuff like this since I ran a BBS back in the 1980s.  For some reason I have only just recently taken an active role in Bitcoin, however.  Wish I did a lot sooner, but better late than never.  What finally motivated me to install core and start mining was hearing Andreas Antonopoulos on the Joe Rogan podcast, and subsequently buying his book and reading it twice.  I can't code at all, but it was still a great introduction to BTC, and here I am.

And hyes better late than never

[koelen3]

I did into bitcoin/cryptocoin ? 
It happened at the beginning of 2014 I was looking for a way to supplement their daily pocket money .
Then I searched the internet for ways to make money and see bitcoin .
After that I deepen about bitcoin and will know a lot cryptocoin and until now I still venture into cryptocoin . 

It has always been so fun too

[jorjito25]

I started with bitcoin couse one day I saw in the TV News.
The price went up and up, then I decided to buy a some coins couse I though "uff I dont wanna lose the opportunity,  this will make me rich".
Then the price came down!!

 

But still waitting for the next to the moon!!!

[cakir]

I've joined the ship with a long dead altcoin.
Then I started with faucets etc.

One day my brother come back from school and ask me to write
on or two page for homework.... about cryptography.
I start resarch on internet and found BTC for the first time  

[menlatin]

I remember hearing about bitcoin back in 2009 or 2010, when I was doing SETI@HOME. I dismissed it, and then when the price spiked to $1200 I got in with dogecoin after it capitalized on the hype.

A little over a year later and I'm finally starting my first crypto company.

This is a great thread.

Someone at work was talking about the Silk Road in October 2013.  My weed sources were very dry at that time.  I went home and read about the Silk Road that night. 

I learned I had to buy bitcoin.  So I went and saw the price at like $300, I said damn hold on a minute before I get scammed.  I looked again the next day and it was like $330.

It was like a first HIGH.

I said forget about the weed, I want to trade BTC. 

And here we are today.

By reading about bitcoins in a forum and some people using bitcoin as a payment option

[dothebeats]

Well my story was kinda boring. I was searching some cool articles in the interwebs when I suddenly came up to a meme with the text "CAN I HAZ BITCOIN?" Out of my curiosity, I started searching for bitcoin in the web, often being redirected to some exchanges that by that time I knew nothing about. Then I came to bitcoin.org, and learned my first bits of knowledge about this digital currency. Since then, I started to gather more and more information, digging deeper and deeper in this mine of knowledge, and ended up buying my first bitcoins and earning it. So yeah, that was it. Boring, right?

[koelen3]

I wish I could recall how it happened though. I was on the internet searching for some money making stuff and ended up here. After reading more and more that got me interested but the first crypto that I actually got into wasn't bitcoin. It was quark. I was there for a few months and after seeing the community sort of disorganized on the directions, I decided to switch to bitcoin.

[rikkie]

It was about a year and a half ago, when i saw an article about the price of BTC that went up so much over the 1000 dollar.
Before i have read a few small articles about it, but didn't pay much attention to it.
From then on, i was keep on following and read a lot about 'the world of coins'.

Me too. It started with a conversation in a pub table. And then I started to do research on google, until downloaded a Multbit wallet. And I started solve some captchas.

Let's say it fortunately instead , since if you would have jumped then , as seeing the price now , it would've been a loss for you , but you can start from low now
