At the end of 2013, A friend of told me he made about $10K USD from mining bitcoin.   Like an idiot, I jumped in and bought a bunch of bitcoin miners and also a few bitcoins at the top of the market.  To date, I still have not recovered half from my investments.

What was your initial investment, if you do not mind sharing this info? It must ve been huge since you still have not been able to recover it after more then 2 years.
Sounds like he might have paid way too much for those miners if he bought them at the end of 2013, while his friend must've bought his before the bubble.
Bitcoin prices were over $1000 back then, miners would be sold for a premium if I remember correctly.

I got into it after I saw it had gone over $1000 each on the news. Each time bitcoin makes the news more people must hear about it like I did, and some of them will get into it. I'm annoyed I missed the chance to be an early adopter, but most bitcointalk members feel that way.

I first got to know about bitcoin a couple of years back but I didn't think that it would grow as much as it has to date.
I only got into it last year, seems late to some people but I don't think it's ever too late to invest or to earn bitcoins.

Through a friend of mine, Len Sassaman, he mentioned it once to me back in early 2011, didn't do much with it back then but rediscovered it in 2012 - 2013.
Haven't looked back since..

Well, I knew about bitcoin from a blog about earning money online last year. I started earning some cents from faucets and games but I stopped because it was boring.
And now I am holding my btc as an investment hoping the price will rise more

I heard about bitcoin in 2013, read some about it. Many accused it to be a scam later so I did not give a damn about it. 2 years later, found out some of my colleagues are earning a lot trading bitcoins and it sparked my interest. I entered late in the scene, but better late than never, right? If I have known that bitcoin is the future, I should have engaged earlier.
