I bought weed off my dealer, and then he asked to be paid by bitcoin.
Looks like there are not a few tech savvy drug dealer around...

I got into bitcoin through MMORPG, when a guy was selling games gold for bitcoins.
At first I heard of it in 2008 in some magazine, but did not pay much attention.
According to the bitcoin wiki, the bitcoin white paper was published on Oct 31, 2008 and the genesis block was found on Jan 3 2009.
I don't think you can see a story of bitcoin in magazine in 2008...
At first I heard of it in 2008 in some magazine, but did not pay much attention. And a couple of months ago my friend started asking me about cryptocurrency, how it is safe to mine and what possible risks are. Now we got a couple of PC with ATI 7970.
First time I heard about Bitcoin from Euronews
I forget the exact details, but I believe I first saw the term "bitcoin" on a forum...
I found out about Bitcoin from my friend who read an article in Wiki as I remember
My friend introduced me to play, and when the price is 18 dollars.
Don't really remember but I think I found it on 4chan.
Advertisment....
Nice. I guess you are talking about an ad of a bitcoin-accepting business, right?
To quote my first post on this forum:
Well, I heard of it on a swedish forum called "Flashback". So I got interested and read about it and thought "wow, that is a really awesome idea with digital anonymous money". And then I started mining, using faucets and so on and finally I earned my first Bitcoin (yesterday).
I'm just sad that I sold that bitcoin around $70 a (few) month(s) later...

At first time I found out about Bitcoins from my friend who told me all the advantages disadvantages of cryptocurrency. But I decided to take a chance and here I am!
I started paying attention to Bitcoin after watching the Keiser Report on RT's youtube channel. Kind of wish I'd bought when I first heard about it, but left it a little late and bought in November during that massive up spike. Pity that his "maxcoin" launch was such a shambles, though.
I began as just a speculator, but having done a fair amount of research, I'm now a big proponent of the ethos behind cryptocurrency. A decentralised, debt-free economy with no crooked bankers taking a cut.

I knew bitcoin a year ago, then i created a blockchain wallet. I used to had 0.3 BTC in inputs.io , luckily i withdraw before it hacked 
And how did i get into it ? seriously i'm really curious too, i've asked myself and try to recall my memory. But still i can't remember it -_- funny -_-

I'd heard about it in chatrooms/channels of games years ago. Most people thought it was a joke that would never last by nerds who didn't understand currency, so I didn't have enough faith to spend time learning how to mine at the time. Wish I had, I'd be a millionaire. I got back into cryptocurrencies again now that I have money to invest and kept seeing dogecoin on the front page of Reddit.
Welcome on these forums
. I bet many people over here have the same experience, we all wished that we jumped onboard earlier . However, I don't think you're too late. We still have a long way ahead of us
