Many of the replies here are due to earning opportunities that Bitcoin can offer, while it was different for me. I first heard of Bitcoin due to my internet curiosity back around 2012-2013, due to how dark web works and I found out that Bitcoin is one of the currencies being used at that level of the web, though it was still a myth on if the layers of web below it exist. Moving on, I kept that misconception of Bitcoin being used only by criminals and I looked harshly into it not gonna lie. Until late 2017, one casual conversation with a friend brought up the "Bitcoin topic" and I was like "oh that is a primary currency used in dark web by criminals, right?" and he was like full no to me and advised me to research it more.
From that I did a research to clear up my misunderstanding about Bitcoin, and upon my first purchase of Bitcoin, I also registered here late 2017 as what you can see in my profile.

I, once again, became paranoid and ask if those "dark web users" are gonna be a thread for us Bitcoin hodlers in a thread here back in 2018. I locked the thread as it is irrelevant and it is just me being paranoid too much.

I first heard about it through my classmate and all I ever knew about it is that it is being used in online gambling since he is involved in such. He told us about bitcointalk afterwards and said that it has a potential of bringing us a lot of money in the future. We listened to him that's why after just a few years, we got ourselves into bounty campaigns and it was real, what he told us about the profit which exceeded our expectations. We're forever thankful for him as he gave us the opportunity to learn about bitcoin at a very early time. Now we're still investing in crypto and earning a lot still.

Bitcoin is an important online currency, it is not equally popular in different countries of the world. However, as a Bangladeshi, I was the first to know the news as a headline news in a newspaper. Later different s We can know through various newspapers, news channels, magazines etc. But nowadays Bitcoin is rumored to be a popular currency all over the world.

I first heard of it when I friend of mine said(jokingly) that he could get anyone assassinated for 6BTC on silk road. I asked what it was and he said that it was an online currency that nobody uses. I googled Bitcoin..I have not slept since.

I don't remember the Youtube channel but I first heard of it in there when I was looking for something to watch and I came across the Ross Ulbricht case, I was a crime fanatic back then so I always watch some insane heist stories and robberies in the history. I have heard of bitcoin there although it wasn't the focus but it was enough for me to be interested in the tool and from there, I started watching videos regarding bitcoin.

I found out about bitcoin in one of my friend's posts on Facebook where he promoted a project that was promised to be rewarded, I started to google it for more details, but my curiosity was delayed because at that time Google was blocking the word bitcoin in the search, until this moment I continue to look for who the founder of bitcoin itself is
the experience you are experiencing is exactly the same as mine, the first time I found out bitcoin was also from facebook which was posted by my friend, then I started looking for it on the internet, until finally there was a friend who wanted to guide me to get to know bitcoin better, until now I still learning about bitcoin

How did you first hear about Bitcoin?
I first heard about bitcoin from the facebook forum that I followed initially, and got acquainted with a friend who turned out to be a bitcoin investor, from there I learned to understand what bitcoin is, the advantages and disadvantages of playing bitcoin. Maybe a period of approximately 6 months I just established myself to jump in with bitcoin. But from there I am grateful that until now I am still with bitcoin.

I heard the first time that bitcoin is a digital currency and I tried to find out how digital money works in a business that will be carried out by investors, especially for beginners who want to get into the business, so I tried to dig up information about the business which is said to be a long-term business and very profitable for the owner pemilik

I first heard bitcoin through my brother. I guess it was four to five years ago. He's in college while I am working. At first i was hesitant with cryptocurrencies but when he oriented me and he shared the basics, i became interested in bitcoin. And now, my husband and I are into bitcoin and other altcoins. I see a lot of potential and i am amazed by its technology.

I found out about bitcoin in December 2015, thanks to an ad I saw on a ptc site, then I decided to research more about the subject and found this forum, it was all coincidence. I didn't even remember this story at that time, at that time paypal prohibited PTC sites from using paypal on PTC sites and as an alternative PTC sites added bitcoin as a means of payment, I didn't use bitcoin because I didn't know it until I saw an ad in the form of a banner and the banner had bitcoin symbol, that's how I started researching bitcoin and found this forum and started making faucets, but with time I realized that it would take a long time to have a lot of bitcoin and so I sold my computer stuff and bought bitcoin

That's a natural thing and maybe many feel the same as you, because at that time there were still many who doubted bitcoin and after rising to the highest price at that time many felt sorry.
and I got involved in bitcoin and this forum in May 2017 from some of my friends who have been involved for a long time, and they told me very clearly about bitcoin and the profit they generate which made me curious and finally got involved.
and I also felt the benefits that I got, which made me believe in bitcoin even more when the end of 2017 the bitcoin price reached $19,000 more because the first time I got involved I made small purchases gradually so that I got a satisfying profit.
and I also didn't expect the increase that happened yesterday, so don't ever regret the delay because there is always a chance to go up again if we believe and be patient.

If you do have the time to observe and learn there's a lots of opportunities, you don't  need to worry it's better to understand everything first before making your move,

Those who came first and enjoy their profits also doubt at first then realizing the benefits they start to move and work inside this market, don't worry since the value of bitcoin is progressive you should more concerns with your emotions, it can lead you to lose your money if you failed to control it properly.

I heard about bitcoin for the first time in 2015 when I was in high school I have heard about it through quiz competition which was held in my school. When I heard about it i'd thought that this is like a normal technology but in 2017 it's price moon to $19000 I was very shocked I was regretting why I did not invested in 2015.
there's nothing to be sorry for, friends, the important thing is that we are grateful to be involved and find out bitcoin early. see there are still many people who have doubts and contra on bitcoin and crypto in general, even though there are many benefits to be had. Is not it?
I used to have doubts when my friend invited me to learn bitcoin trading in the 2016s. At that time I also didn't think the price would be like it is now, unfortunately there is no time machine, lol, so like it or not we have to try our best to take advantage of the opportunities that exist.

remembering the beginning of knowing bitcoin,,all can not be separated from the information of friends and now my friend already has a lot of experience in the crypto world and also I believe the assets he has exceed the assets of the rich people in my area if it is cashed..
back to this topic, info from friends does not go directly to bitcoin, but is invited to participate in this forum and that's where I can independently find out what bitcoin is and it turns out that changes have happened now a lot of people want to have bitcoin and make it an asset future.
