First heard about it from a Hacker News post. Even downloaded the client early on but didn't bother to read much about it - when the client started synchronizing and I saw it was taking a long time I uninstalled it. Stupid because it was probably early enough to still CPU mine with it.

Are you a bitcoin fan?
Do you spend a lot of time on bitcoin? Reading news, trading, or even writing your own analysis.
But how did you first hear about bitcoin?
Is it some articles you read about? Or just from a friend who has traded bitcoin for a long time?

i am not completely sure about the exact first time that i heard about bitcoin , maybe it was in the news or some forum .

but the first time that i officially knew about bitcoin was in the year 2013 when everybody were mining bitcoin with their expensive GPUs and earning like crazy especially because of the great price rise of 2013 Cheesy
but unfortunately i started with bitcoin late, in 2014, and i am using it everyday since then.

It was a Slashdot article :

It might have read this one, but it's unlikely that I have paid any attention :
Bitcoin Releases Version 0.3 (July 2010)

This article is when I most likely started taking interest in the subject :
WikiLeaks, Money, and Ron Paul (December 2010)

And this one I remember so well, I remember the first comment!
Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity (February 2011)

My friends don 't know what Paypal is so ... yep , I don't remember what I was searching for on google but I finished on this 1.3 million viewer video and that's how I heard about it . (basically two videos)

I knew Bitcointalk before that but only from currency exchange section because I was looking for trade . then after viewing those videos the guy posted links to Bitcointalk (miners applications) and from that day I started asking etc .. and here I'am Shocked
