be much more interesting if you had added "Silk Road" as an option 
This.
I learned about Silk Road early 2012, looked at Silk Road near the end of 2012, and THEN I learned about Bitcoins because of Silk Road.
I imagine it's very different for people in 2013 with all the media attention.
This !!!
but dunno if its safe to say this in your thesis ...I mean personally I have a strong belief that 80% of non-miners heard about bitcoin and got into it more or less because of SR
)) but it was actually an internet article about SR ...in a newsportal. so I can say the internet and look less like a junkie
) 
Slashdot ran a story on it.
This. It was an article about how someone had the cops come to their door thinking they were growing pot, but found their mining farm.
That's right! I started buying graphics cards a week or so later
Haha, same! I spent a week or so researching, and then I already had a radeon that could mine, so I started that som'bitch right up soon as I figured it out. Then spent my first coins on another card, and then it's been a downhill slide ever since.
As in mine until I get enough coins for something fun, buy, mine until I can afford something else, and mine, etc. I'm in a holding pattern for now until price stabilizes again. I don't have a large mining rig, just a couple 7970s. But free money is better than no money
