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

I think bitcoin spread through users who were already a part of the growing technology. As we people came through our friends or people next to us. I haven't seen bitcoin spread through some form of advertising or something else.

I think I first heard about Bitcoin back in late 2012 while browsing another forum. It didn't catch my attention because I assumed it was some kind of a technological project for computer geeks or something and there was no real use for the thing and oh boy was I totally wrong. I wish as I was an early adopter but it's my fault for being ignorant and now we are scrambling for peanuts while back then you could have thousands of coins haha.

everyone does have this kind of story for sure, i was not interested because it was not worth it and more over i thought it was one big scam sharing power and resources, as they could do anything with the kind of resources they are having, and with the main man in the project anonymous, what more you should expect. later on i found i was mistaken by that time, you couldnt catch this train.

Sorry for me. I known the bitcoin in 2015 i think if i know bitcoin back then im rich today. Back in the topic bitcoin is spread by word by mouth and social media promoting it was catch many attention cause they see many oeople earn a lot in bitcoin and this coin is easy to transfer and do transaction.

Well, i actually have no idea about it, but i guess it must have spread slowly first of all as when satoshi created it he must have shared the idea with some people, and later those people must have talked about it somewhere else, and just like that it started spreading and today we can see thousands of people around the world using it.

People mainly started to get interested in it at that time because there was some money to be made. People then were mining with their notebooks and PC's to generate a few hundred coins per day in some cases. After that it was spreading like a bacteria. Especially once the media was covering Bitcoin. And at that time the media wasn't that negative at all. Long story short, the main motive for people was money. It probably still is for 90% of the people nowadays.

as far as i know it first spread in the deep web, then after assuring the stability and how clean the transactions were, it spread using social media, forums, 4chans, and advertisements

I think some faucets in the beginning, helped to spread the FREE coins to people and via word of mouth, people started to investigate. The pizza thing was just news back then, when people realized

that Bitcoin could actually have some value, if it was used to buy every day things... like food. The additional attention came, when those coins were extrapolated to the increased price, when it

already became popular and people saw the NEW much higher price. Roll Eyes

writing many articles and creating so blogs and websites about Bitcoin could help to spread the Bitcoin in my opinion

I guess it was from people who have very much of the network. may he make advertising that could quickly spread, and I believe bitcoin used to gamble and trading at the time. and I sure need a lot of people to spread the bitcoin to be used

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.

I got to know about bitcoin from another forum, bitcoin is spread through social media,forums,folks etc.. there were only few promoters back when it started, slowly bitcoin adoption grew as well supporters and bitcoin is now promote everywhere lol.

I think it was the cryptography forum and this forum.

Initially it was only Satoshi and Hal, and perhaps a few others who were interested in cryptography and cryptocurrency. The very first versions were full of bugs and through working with the enthusiasts the codes improved significantly.

And also it was spread by using social media and promote it to get the attention people in cyberworld althoug it was unknown before and luckily who attracted to it om thos pass years are rich by now.

I think at that time people were focus on how to get the protocol/software to work and how to perfect it. Nowadays, the focus is more on "how to get rich with bitcoin?" or "how am I going to benefit from it?". I really hope the spirits of the initial group will come back.

i guess satoshi create bitcoin with some people work together him,even satoshi not publish bitcoin directly,i guess some of his team work talk about this new crypto currency to other people,and then media hear it,and you know if media has got news,they spread it around the world.
