Topic: How did you guys get into bitcoin? - page 4. (Read 9275 times)
Word of mouth.
I wanted to send a PayPal donation to a libertarian radio/podcast, but the guy said it's evil and mentioned Bitcoin. Karma, eh?
I saw it posted on slashdot, too.
I got into bitcoin when I saw it posted on Slashdot back in, oh June or so? At that time it was ~$16 ea. I bought a few. Set up my GPU to mine. When it was $30 I sold them all but kept mining. Little did I know that the market would crash shortly after. 
Used the profit to buy some new computer equipment for my gaming machine.
I'm in it for the long haul, and have a couple troy ounces of silver that I purchased as well.
I like tangible objects, so I typically sell soon as I can afford something.
years later if they skyrocket in value, I'll lament why I didn't save.... but oh well, it's fun for me right now.

I was watching tv and saw it mentioned in a show, and wanted to know if it was real. Apparently it is.
Was it The Good Wife?

Certainly here for the enjoyment of market analysis, specifically technical analysis, which has had me hooked on bitcoincharts.com, btccharts.com, bitcoinica.com, mtgox.com, etc all at the same time at all times of day! (like now, 3:30AM)
I got started after reading about in on some crypto forum and looking deeper into it. I saw how cool it is and my hours of sleep per week have gone down hill from there 
Is there such thing such as Heroine Member in this forum? A bitcoin addict member status.
Warning! Bitcoins are addictive.
Yeah. I just figured that. I can't stop thinking about them. It's a nightmare!
LOL, a kind of nightmare that you don't want to wake up.

I'm not sure where I first heard about it but I became fascinated with the idea of a currency that can be created independently of a state or a central bank. So here I am, researching, trying to understand how it works, and writing up an article about Bitcoins for Reuters, where I work.
Hopefully you're finding Bitcoin to be a positive thing thus far? We need more positive publicity!
