Topic: How did you discover bitcoin? - page 13. (Read 16839 times)
some of the people in my colleagues tell bitcoin is a remittance system like PayPal. This system has the advantage of being better than paypal. since then I know bitcoin, and bitcoin has helped me become a better life again.
Here's my story:
I had a spare Android phone and wanted to do something to it. So I googled about things/projects/fun stuffs I can do with the phone. One of the results I got was about using Android phone to do "calculations" in return for "money"... That's how I learn about bitcoin/mining. Of course the article I read was already 1-2 year-old, and I wasn't able to do meaningful bitcoin mining with a phone then- the difficulty was only about 50-60 million...

I discovered bitcoin thru a colleague who is earning bitcoin thru signature campaign. So I also tried it and that proves to be a good move to try and trust bitcoin. I earned a lot and learned a lot about bitcoin and trading.
a couple years ago, apprx. 4 years, I was home and trying to find a game to play after a hard and busy week. So While I was watching a gameplay video, I decided to look comments about the game. There was a comment chain about bitcoin and the discussion was very fierce. I didn't quite understand what was all about and searched web for bitcoin. My English was not that good that time, and I know very little about finance, currency etc. So I couldn't get any clear idea.
So for sake of curiosity, I created a wallet. Then I started to collect some bitcoin from faucet. It was fun. The faucet gave me 1 bitcoin for every turn.
I can't quite remember how much bitcoin I collected that night and the following day. It was about 100 bitcoin I guess. But as I said before, It only fun back then...
Now I have a wallet, but have no idea where is it.
Isn't it quite strange that you came to know about bitcoins when faucet was giving one bitcoins means a lot back and you joined this forum now. Please can you tell us which faucet exactly was one the one that was paying such high ? because I have never heard something paying one bitcoins just for claiming. So for sake of curiosity, I created a wallet. Then I started to collect some bitcoin from faucet. It was fun. The faucet gave me 1 bitcoin for every turn.

I met one day with my friend and we talk about money and future of money and he said me someting about bitcoin and i interested it also he used bitcoin system too and i said to him teach to me how can i use this system and i am still learning about bitcoin so i discovered bitcoin like that.
I discovered bitcoin because of the internet. No one told me about it in real life. I just look up online ways to earn money and bitcoin is just one of them. There are other ways like microtasks and all but they don't pay that much. When I discovered bitcoin, gambling was mainly what I was doing with it. I also tried some HYIP sites because I thought it was legit since it's on the internet and people seems to trust websites like those.
I am into paid to click sites and upon clicking an ad. Bitcoin advertisement pop up so I get curios with it because it is just like an advertisement that the forex does. So for me, they are just the same scheme and most of them are scams. But upon googling it, I went fall here in forum and by keep on reading it gives me an interest to go deeper.
Same with you.. i was addict with pay to click.. i am patiently doing that daily when an advertisement about the other pay to click website appear. I tried to click and sign up to that website. I have read terms and condition and the mode of paying thier members was through bitcoins. So ive got confused what is bitcoins. Then i create my btc wallet, and since i do not know how to use it i make my own research.
I was buying a video card and reading about it on a forum and it interested me. So far so good.
I was using a prepaid credit card before, but they quit their programm.
Searching another way to make online payments that did not involve any of my usual crads, I found bitcoin.
It's really that much better than the prepaid card I used before!
Pefect solution for me!

My friend introduced me about bitcoin and he told me advantages as well as the benefit which it brings to users.
I was wondering how'd you discover or know about bitcoin? Did someone refer you? Did someone show you what you did? Through the news? Share something here. 
I know bitcoin started with a blog. there I read how the person can be successful and get a monthly income greater than bitcoin. From there I became interested in studying the bitcoin. until now I have always been grateful to the person.

Yes Someone refer me to sign up in bitcointalk.org, and said only to post in the forum or I can ask in the topic just I make sure it will be related in the conversation in the forum.
An office mate introduce me to it saying that he invested into something just like stocks but not really a stock and its value is increasing rapidly. He sent to me a link of an online wallet and then during that time I was not really interested on it. After a few months, I read a news that its value is increasing that's why I decided to research further on it and then that is the start of my bitcoin journey.

I think that most of people here have seen bitcoin on advertisement or on google search.
For me it was accidentally discovering bitcoin as I was searching something in google and bitcoin appeared there like an ad.
If i remember it was something about how to make money online and I'm very glad that I have learned about bitcoin for those years.
because for now, google search can help us to search what we want and we can learn many thing from that. and this is happen to me when i search some ways to make money and finally i found the bitcoin blog, and learn in that blog and the other blogs. so here i am, still learning and using bitcoin to make money like other people.

I discovered Bitcoin accidentally by pure luck. Months after Poker Black Friday, April 15 2011, when the US Dept of Justice shut down the major online poker sites, I was searching for any new poker site to play on that accepted US players and didn't suck - ie where you didn't have to wait 5 months to half a year to withdraw your funds/winnings. I found Seals With Clubs poker site that used bitcoin and accepted US players without the need for any type of verification and had instant deposits/withdrawals.
I bought a bunch of bitcoin without really knowing much about it other than that I could use it to play online poker with quick deposits and withdrawals and that I could convert it back to US$ relatively easily. At the time, I didn't even know or really care that much that it's value could increase (or decrease). It was only after bitcoin value shot up in value by over $100+ in less than a day that I began to realize that oh wow, this bitcoin thing is pretty cool. Maybe I should actually see what this bitcoin stuff that I have is all about, lol.
