If HIV could spread just like that ,do you think it would be hard for bitcoin to be spread around with the monetary advantage it has Tongue, the main reason is, it is decentralized and users can transact directly without an intermediary  what more do you want .

I think that's the responsibility of the Bitcoin's community to advertise this powerful crypto currency and spread it as much as possible , because in fact the most part of people worldwide still ignoring it till now

Bitcoin spread by the power of social media and also seeing some streamers accepting bitcoins as donations, that was the time i discovered and got curious as to what is all about bitcoin.
Social media? How exactly? I don't see any official Bitcoin group on Facebook or something like that. I am long time internet user but surprisingly I didn't learn about bitcoin from the internet.
Instead I heard about is in live conversation somewhere. And then I found this forum.

Id say forums more than social media (or are they the same thing?). I first heard of bitcoin on a tech forum, people buying/selling for bitcoin as well as building rigs.

In my case, google did the trick. I searched on possible online ways to earn money and BTCitcoin was one of it, and made me interested and next I searched on how to earn BTCitcoin and that's how I was introduced to mining using GPU's and use of faucets back in 2011. There was many facebook groups that used to showcase every miners computer in which where mostly modified using multiple GPU's (really fun back then). Rewards on faucets were also better back then.

The first time I heard about Bitcoin was from Slashdot, but I don't give a f*ck about it back then. Three years later, I found this forum by chance and started to actively involved in Bitcoin (mostly fauceting at that time :-P).

Press, Media, News, Internet have played a major role in spreading bitcoin, no doubt majority of them were busy in spreading it negatively but smart people took it positively and started to use it.

I don't know if its true either, but that story is very sad if its true, a guy bought a Pizza for 10.000 BTC when the price of BTC was ridiculous back then was only cents. Now if this story is true I am sorry for him as he should be a millionaire now.

I learned about it from friends and workmates. I guess being in a nerdy social tier gets you to places you never dream of. Because of them, I started bitcoin relatively early. To be exact, the day before bitcoin started shooting up. But I refused to waste my money on some "useless virtual asset". Oh, how was I wrong.

probably after the domain for bitcoin-org was bought, because i don't remember satoshi itself spreading it through many forum, but maybe i'm wrong, if someone can enlighten me on this

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.
yes satoshi created bitcoin, bitcoin is not printed, it is discovered. people send bitcoins to each other over the bitcoin network all the time. the bitcoin network collects all the transactions made during a set period into a list called a block. it's the miner's job to confirm those transactions and write them into a general ledger.

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.
