The first time I heard Bitcoin because of bitcoin ransomware, I went to Baidu and searched for everything about it. I thought it was a new type of digital currency that was of great use and would have a very promising future.

Hi There,

I hope you all are doing well!

I've first heard about bitcoin through my friend. When I got knowledge about bitcoin the price was around INR 60000 per coin. I thought to purchase it but I couldn't dare to purchase it. But now I got the dare to purchase the coin but the price now is around INR 150000.

Thank you!

I first learned about Bitcoin in 2011. I remained skeptical / doubtful that it would amount to anything until the Cyprus bubble of 2013 after which I started to really dig in to it.

Two years ago I saw a video on YouTube about bitcoin. I asked my friend if he knows anything about this. I was surprised to find out that my friend already had some purchased bitcoins

The first time i heard about bitcoin when was i was watching a law series by the name of the Good wife in which they were trying to prosecute someone as they had thought that this person was the real creator of bitcoins.I never thought about bitcoins again until this word kept on being mentioned that's when i actually started  research and find out exactly what it was and  why this new form of doing business and transactions was causing so may feathers especially in the financial sector to get ruffled.

I've even tried to mine back then, but my laptop was way too shitty.  Cry Cry Cry

I heard it already even during the early days. I only started buying bitcoin when it was already a bit popular and some of my friends also trading it.

the first time I heard about bitcoin was in March 2013.

I knew some basic economics and basic computer science. Here is the exact article where I first heard about bitcoin. I believe that there is only three concepts that you need to know that makes bitcoin interesting:

You can't have a currency that uses something that is not rare.
Computers are very good at copying things.
If no one is in direct control of something then everyone using it is in control of it.
I recognised these things and was fascinated, immediately and began mining. I'm not saying I understood everything about it, it took me a good 2 months to actually understand how it worked. In this time I would constantly referred back to the white paper and try to make sense of it.

I am very invested in the success of bitcoin now and it scares me... maybe beyond want I am willing to accept.  Smiley Smiley
