who told you that? there was many term that time.. I saw a news in bbc.co.uk which was published back in 2012. it is obvious if bbc give coverage of bitcoin. bitcoin will surely spread around the world in just one night.   
I think this thread answers OP's question. I just know that BBC published news about bitcoin. probably after people read that news, they told their friends, and their friends told their other friends and so on.

As I have already said before several other times, bitcoin is heavily dependent on the deep web and dark web which both are accessible with TOR browser, there it exist anything you can think of, the worst of the creatures abide there and they do trade together, usually the main currency is bitcoin. In the beginning all the transactions were done in deep web, then after some time, curiosity started to spread and google and many other media started publishing articles about bitcoin, and this is how bitcoin is spread to the world. And of course now this forum does the best and implies all of the fields bitcoin related, for any question you may have, here you will find an answer in 99.99% of the cases.

bitcoin spread by media but the more important way is when bitcoin spread by people who trust in bitcoin then they will tell to their friend,family,neighbour,etc.
This is actually how bitcoin continues to spread today. Word of mouth is always the best advertisement any product could have
As for bitcoins and its value, I wish I could go back in time to buy bitcoin in a cheaper price haha
The concept needs to be good for it to spread via word of mouth and that's why Bitcoin spread so quickly, relativily speaking, that is.
It was just the right time for it to shine, with the economic crisis.

Plus, I think many programmers were just interested in the technical aspects behind it.

It spread into different tech forums and other cryptography-related hubs right before this bitcoin forum was created. For a year or two, the topic bitcoin is only circulating around tech geeks who are enthusiastic about a cashless payment scheme. Afterwards, when price increased, it became a matter of speculation among geeks and laymen alike. Word of mouth continues to spread on different people, until everybody and your mother knows about it.

Satoshi published the Bitcoin whitepaper and sent it through mail and those who were interested in cryptography obviously got involved in it. The huge push in popularity was most likely the economic crisis Cyprus was facing and it pushed the prices. Seeing this, many people also started mining.

I know that Satoshi created the first cryptocurrency - Bitcoin. But how did the world came to know about it ? How did miners came to know about it and how the common people started to use it ? There was no such term as cryptocurrency at that time.
It spread via something called the grapevine. Satoshi published the bitcoin with paper and posted on one of the crypto mailing lists, people made comments and downloaded the software, Hal received the first transaction and the word spread though all the friends these guys had who were really into the whole concept of a decentralised currency.

It probably started to spread into the mainstream from other finding articles in tech mags and online forums.

The biggest questions is how is bitcoin going to spread it's wings from where we are now into mainstream adoption.

Word of mouth to begin with I'd imagine. If something is interesting, it'll spread wide and far in no time, even more so if it has anything to do with money  Grin
Then there is the fact that Satoshi's paper is pretty impressive which means it probably got a lot of attention from programmers, software engineers, academics and such. That probably led to articles and then later on the news.

I found a Minecraft Bitcoin casino in mid 2013. I bought an amazon gift card from my earnings with it. A few days later it went from $600 to $1000 and I was full of regret.

Minecraft did a good thing advertising bitcoin. And I see a lot of people playing it due to simplicity and just building something. I thought this game was lame but actually it made me spend some time playing it.

Basically, Bitcoin spread through the news. Because of this, more and more people are interested in them and recommend to others, and thus further increased the popularity and spread, leading to interest companies and have them work with Bitcoin. And so further on the rise, reaching the government and central banks.

I think bitcoin spread when it starts to be spread when bitcoins came out on trading sites online.Many investors invest om bitcoin and they promote bitcoin and share wht opportunities may hit them.Thats the reason why and how  bitcoins spread online and on market thats why bitcoin is too famous and on demand now.

well actually there are lots of ways how bitcoin spreads, my friend told me about bitcoin, i told about them to my friends, but that is not only way how bitcoin spreads

i saw info about bitcoins in local news, saw them in BBC news too, on internet too, and of course bitcoin gambling sites attracts users because they want to try it out

ads advertising through google, facebook, twitter and many more, it's probably a few things in life to spread bitcoin, and possible dissemination via deepweb also very influential, such as dark transaction, which is done by using bitcoin in large number
its just one of many way for bitcoin to be more popular from time to time,but i'm sure the most influance for bitcoin popularity are media,online media is the most influence besaide people talk to other people.
