I don't exactly remember. I think it was 2010 - 2011 when I heard about it.
I remember it being under $1 >.<
I remember realizing there was no limit to the potential value of Bitcoin.
I remember wanting to buy some >.<

Still made a few grand and built my dream pc. Could have been a millionaire :-/

I heard it from one of my best friends a few months ago. 
So if you bought in November/December, is he still your friend?
No worries though, we'll be out of this slump in a month or two.
I got to know about Bitcoins through a forum 
How did you all guys get into bitcoin? I got into bitcoin when i was Googling about how to buy a memory card?
I heard it from one of my best friends a few months ago.
The brother of a friend told me about people that earn money with their pc's. I checked it out and was told its too late to mine. Its not worth it. That was 2011. At the end i bought some bitcoins and shortly after MtGox was hacked. Bitcoins crashed and i lost interest for another year...
Friend told me ... about month ago 
I felt like the latest person in the world who does not know.
But when I see all the newbies, new(bi)er than me .. that makes me feel better.

Honestly, I don't really know. I guess I forgot it.
But to make an educated guess, I think I read an article about it somewhere on the internet. And started mining (altcoins) as soon as I bought a new desktop with a HD7950 GPU, which earned me enough money to cover the costs of the buy.

End 2013 i learned an article.
How the blockchain system works caught my eye, and I was curious about what it'll become in the future
Nov 2012, in the dentist's waiting room, on a tech magazine
In mid 2013, when bitcoin was becoming more noticeable. When will it reach half of the populace on the net?
I read a very early article about it, and looked into mining. I am not sure if the GPU miners had been written at that point, but the CPU I had was supposed to take 180 days to solo a block and they were worth cents. I filed it away as "interesting, gotta check back on that when I get more powerful hardware"... so months/years scooted by and I was rejigging and rebuilding machines in late 2012 and Jan 2013 and suddenly reminded myself, "Oh, gotta look into bitcoin again" and holy crap WTFBBQ things were taking off, so I threw a crappy GPU rig together and ordered BFL singles.
friends gave few cents
Friend -> basics -> was into crypto ever since
My friend explained about bitcoin and i started on my own learning in bitcointalk
Reddit
I heard about them really early in 2012 I think. But got into it last year november. Just kick myself of not getting earlier.
Friends in the valley who adopted early and swore by it
I read about it on Digg during 2013. Got interested, did a lot of Googling then, got involved and signed up on this forum too
