Topic: How did you get into Bitcoin? - page 9. (Read 6440 times)
I have also heard about bitcoin in 2011 to 2012 but at that time i hadn't care about it too much (my mistake) as i was quite busy in making money from PTC. But when mining become difficult and price was high i was back to bitcoin. I miss the chance of being early adopters.
I was searching on internet for new forums to join & learn and found this forum bitcointalk, then learned about bitcoin and invested some money in early 2012, bitcoin was my best investment with huge return, my golden day
I just searched "old school coins trading" on Google in 2011 after when I was first introduced to Bitcoins by Google itself...
It was the day I checked this thing out, had belief in Bitcoins, but left as my father wasn't agreeing with me, I asked him to buy me a load of coins for $1k when the price was cheapest...
Today, I regret I should have managed the money from somewhere else, I could have been a millionaire if not a billionaire at the least...

Some friends in late 2012 were mining with their home PC's and told me about that you can earn money with your GPU. I gave it a try, but 24 hours of non stop mining brought me nothing worthy of my time, so I left. When I cam back in very early 2013 I bought my first coins because I couldn't mine them. That's how my Bitcoin journey started. 
Get into bitcoin from a ptc ads, which bring me to faucet, and I see the price reach $700, it first 2014, I start to be a faucet hunter then I realize if it wasted my time, so I try to find some giveaway and contest, then I'm here, I'm learn through this forum.
Months ago, my friend said he earned money from bitcoin and said this website is the main place for his earning (since he's earning with signature campaign).
He bought PC parts, games etc, soo it makes me wonder why shouldn't i join ? soo here I am now.

This is one of the first questions I get to be asked when talk to people about BTC, how did I get in?
My story s simple, in late 2012, I had an extra PC and I started browsing make money online forums to find something to do with that machines. People suggested botting, social signals etc., and one day someone suggested to mine BTC. I got into mining and have been into this beautiful economy ever since.
What about you?

my story is, in 2012 or 2013 i searching on google how to make online money. and one of the result is about bitcoin, so i find how bitcoin works and after that i find bitcointalk.org and now i earning bitcoin from this forum.
I honestly cant really remember, i think it was possible a while back i was reading on overclockers people speaking abut their mining rigs and i thought to myself "what the hells a mining rig?" . After reading all the comments people had made i realised id missed the boat on mining these bitcoin things but id already been bitten by the bitcoin bug. And here i am today.
mid-2014, I saw my friend post earnings from bitcoin, after that I started finding out what it is and how to get bitcoin
I was actually YouTubing about how to get my Paypal verified (since I was under 18 years old that time) and I couldn't make a bank account or anything then I felt on this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7opj5-32hw
then I started reading about Bitcoin and here I'm now
(All that happened in 2014 so yes I'm little bit late but well .. )

From a news report on TV... then I started reading up on the internet and find it really interesting. Still accumulating bit by bit and hopefully I can achieve my goal of 1 million bits! 
Hehe, yes, I remember reading about it even during early 2012 but at that time I thought, "WTF, magic coins which can be mined?
?", yeah, sure. So I passed on that offer. It was a mistake, BIG mistake.

I got into bitcoins through another forum (online earning same as you) back in 2012. someone in that forum told me i can earn bitcoins from coinurl and then exchange bitcoins to usd. i earned a few mbtc from coinurl, since then i've been earning bitcoins from various places.
because i loved mining back than when it was possible, and i mined my first bitcoin with a gpu, since there i was searchign to learn everythign about how mining work
at first I was like looking for an online business, and my target is actually a google adsense, but it is very difficult to find dollars with Google Adsense, so I'm looking the other way, and I learned bitcoin, it is very easy and good bitcoin in use. I think that by the end of 2014 
way back 2012 i didnt know ive been mining BTC for others. i remember playing rangnarok online and the private server owner ask its users to run some applications and we will get in game rewards by running it daily. the first time i broke my 8400GS videocard due to BTC mining cause of over heat.
Unfortunately only at the start of the 2013 bubble when the price was around 500 USD.
Heard of it before through a Dutch tv show that showed how to buy hard drugs using silk road and bitcoin, but at that time I thought 15 USD for a bitcoin was way too steep (as I knew nothing about it). Briefly looked into how to mine it, but it all seemed too complicated at the time.

When was this? If it was in the news, you must ve been quite late to the game.
I was later to the game when I took it to heart; previously not believing this btc as a real possibility.
If I would have believed I would have kept a wallet somewhere for if this came up on the news. I
began to work on faucets and altcoin mining to sell them for bitcoin.
