I read a article about bitcoin in the newspaper ... unfortunatly the 2013 pump was already going on Cry

Let's say it fortunately instead , since if you would have jumped then , as seeing the price now , it would've been a loss for you , but you can start from low now

One friend told me before about year or so.

Friends are awesome Cheesy

Me too. It started with a conversation in a pub table. And then I started to do research on google, until downloaded a Multbit wallet. And I started solve some captchas.

I wish I could recall how it happened though. I was on the internet searching for some money making stuff and ended up here. After reading more and more that got me interested but the first crypto that I actually got into wasn't bitcoin. It was quark. I was there for a few months and after seeing the community sort of disorganized on the directions, I decided to switch to bitcoin.

Oh! you mean to join bitcoin as well ??

It was about a year and a half ago, when i saw an article about the price of BTC that went up so much over the 1000 dollar.
Before i have read a few small articles about it, but didn't pay much attention to it.
From then on, i was keep on following and read a lot about 'the world of coins'.

In what article did you read it Huh

By reading about bitcoins in a forum and some people using bitcoin as a payment option

cool! so you had a pretty good start

Quote from: dothebeats on February 25, 2015, 02:18:52 PM

Well my story was kinda boring. I was searching some cool articles in the interwebs when I suddenly came up to a meme with the text "CAN I HAZ BITCOIN?" Out of my curiosity, I started searching for bitcoin in the web, often being redirected to some exchanges that by that time I knew nothing about. Then I came to bitcoin.org, and learned my first bits of knowledge about this digital currency. Since then, I started to gather more and more information, digging deeper and deeper in this mine of knowledge, and ended up buying my first bitcoins and earning it. So yeah, that was it. Boring, right?

Not at all boring , it's different
Never heard about CAN I HAZ A BITCOIN though Cheesy

So! i was just thinking about how i got in crypto's , it wasn't interesting , and my google interest gave way to crypto's world slowly.
But am sure, there are people out there with interesting stories and i would love to hear them please

This is a great thread.

Someone at work was talking about the Silk Road in October 2013. My weed sources were very dry at that time. I went home and read about the Silk Road that night.

I learned I had to buy bitcoin. So I went and saw the price at like $300, I said damn hold on a minute before I get scammed. I looked again the next day and it was like $330.

It was like a first HIGH.

I said forget about the weed, I want to trade BTC.

And here we are today.

hahahaha
Okay that gave me a good laugh Cheesy

And it is quite interesting , we should start campaigns , get rid of your addiction to weed(Wait what? Wink

)

One day my brother come back from school and ask me to write
on or two page for homework.... about cryptography.
I start resarch on internet and found BTC for the first time

This seems interesting Shocked

Quote from: menlatin on February 23, 2015, 04:47:48 PM

I remember hearing about bitcoin back in 2009 or 2010, when I was doing SETI@HOME. I dismissed it, and then when the price spiked to $1200 I got in with dogecoin after it capitalized on the hype.

A little over a year later and I'm finally starting my first crypto company.

What company Huh

Quote from: ?? on ??

Sold an ebook for a few btc, then years later realized it was 5000$ now. Jumped right in.

Awesome !
