Topic: How did you hear about Bitcoin (From Ponzi to Cryptocurrency) - page 8. (Read 1272 times)
I first heard bitcoin from my friends last year, when I am passing by with their place bitcoin is always their topic. I didn't mind them at first and if they are trying to explain it to me, I just nod and say okay later. They're patiently waiting and explained bitcoin to me until they got my full attention and here I amm now, thanks to them.
I love "bubbles". "Bubbles" give people the railway. The "bubble" that opened up the shipbuilding industry in the 18th century. The "bubble" brings the internet to everyone. The "bubble" is now a strong currency. "Bubbles" are not a bad thing at all. I only care about whether the world is better or not.
I did not care about the outcome of this. Bitcoin may be the biggest bubble of all time, but one thing that can not be denied is the technology behind it. A whole new infrastructure industry will be built - in which the internet will change the way the world works. 
Last week, I also find out some news for this topic. According to Bank of America, the greatest bubble in history is exploding. The stock market is falling in line with the slump in the world's biggest asset bubble - bitcoin, after less than a year since its peak. Do you think this information is accurate?
How I heard about bitcoin started early 2015 when I was searching for means in which I will use to earn some money to help support my schooling because I'm an undergraduate.

I wish I had also heard about bitcoins earlier. I came to know about bitcoins quite late. If I remember correctly, I heard about it on a IM forum and then I landed on bitcointalk. Now I get paid in bitcoins and other crypto for some of my freelance work and I am content with my performance so far.
It is really amazing to see the journey of members here who are active on this forum from 2012 or earlier.
I was one of those who missed it, by 2016 my friend had already told it, but at that time I did not understand about bitcoin, but over time there was often information on the internet and I was curious then studied until I got guidance from my friend at the end of 2017 first. now I am eager to position myself with others.
How I heard about bitcoin started early 2015 when I was searching for means in which I will use to earn some money to help support my schooling because I'm an undergraduate. So I was introdue into an online business by a friend called MMM (As of then I never knew it was ponzi) the way it was presented (mouth watery bonuses) made me to engage in it fully and started marketing it. I became successful at it made some cool cash too.
When it became famous in my country I decided to explore all its benefits then I saw an advert of BItcoin I picked interest because it was offering 50% ROI monthly while my local currency was 30%ROI. So then.my journey began in the Cryptocurrency world. I became fully a Cryptopreneur January 2016 after my wanna be cryptocoin called TBC (thebillioncoin) failed me. I have made some few mistakes afterwards but I can proudly say, me picking interest in Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) from a Ponzi biz, is one of the most smartest move I have ever made in my life.

I have heard about bitcoin since 2009. I also remembered MMM and luckily I did not lose any amount of btc that time since after a month I withdraw my btc and convert it to cash. Some of my profit in MMM was invested in perfecthash.com but eventually that site was a scam. So after I was scammed I started collecting faucets and then I keep on researching on how to increase my earned btc. I eventually ended doing up some affiliate marketing to newly created investment and gambling sites. Then I was hired by a certain website due to my effort and then I found out about signature campaigns. Then later on I was doing some trading and even become and ICO consultant and a social media promoters for newly developed coins.

I heard the word bitcoin in 2013 but I ignored it because I am busy at that time. When I graduated in the tertiary level year 2017, I am finding some ways to earn online and I saw this word again "bitcoin" and I became very curious about it. Luckily, there are some of my friends who help me know what bitcoin and whole cryptocurrency is all about. Until now, I am reading here in the forum about bitcoin and absorbing every knowledge that I need to know

I was able to see the hype of MMM and many was deceived through its scheme though obviously it was a ponzi scheme before and good thing that people from social media warned the scheme and its shady behavior.

I heard it from my old friend who was curious about things on deep web and he just mentioned that bitcoin was the currency there.
the first time I heard about bitcoin from my friend, before I was not interested in bitcoin, but my decision was wrong, I just joined bitcoin in 2017, in my opinion late, because bitcoin prices have started up, if I were earlier then I can buy bitcoin at a cheaper price.
Haven once been a victim to scammers, I resorted to getting enough understanding of how online businesses actually works before again engaging in such. I one day overheard a group of friends talking about crypto currency. I drew closer to ask for explanation and that was when I was made aware and introduced to bitcoin. This means unless you get determined and inquisitive, you may lose great opportunities.
I heard it too many times on social media like Facebook.
Yeah and mostly was for the promotion of Ponzi or matrix scheme. I bet yeah most people heard about Cryptocurrency (BItcoin) just as I did (ponzi). The problems now is how do we reduced this? I know we can't terminate it, so what is the Crypto-cummunity doing towards creating awareness. Hopping to get a reply because this is a very serious issues

Work on the land brought a penny, there was not enough for anything. I was looking for somewhere to earn money. First he understood the trade, there were successes, but a penny. Then Mamena's friend told about the bitcoin and the company in which she is. And so it was.
I proudly say, I chose the interest in Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) from Ponzi biz, was one of the smartest moves I ever made in my life, heard about Bitcoin as I looked for another way to transfer money to a book and bank transfer. Too bad I did not leave the money in Bitcoin, I was looking for crypto currency and saw bitcoin at the top of coinmarketcap. My interest radiated and I began to research
I first heared about Bitcoin as a "money making method" alternative to PTC sites, a more profitable and easier way to earn money on the internet, especially for third world people who have difficult to find profitable online tasks to execute and earn money. The scams/Ponzies I just knew later, when the investment options for my Bitcoins started appearing.
Anyway, although being very dangerous and not advisable to invest, Ponzi schemes were one of the main ways people discovered Bitcoin.

I was surfing on the web and I accidentally heard about bitcoin. I didn't judge it and I started to study and know bitcoin and its advantages. I have been always positive about bitcoin.
But with me personally, I was really interested in cryptography and steganography, and one thing led to another until I eventually stumbled upon Bitcoin. This was late 2009/early 2010. I saw genuine potential in the IDEA, but I saw Bitcoin as more of a proof of concept at the time than anything. Late 2010, I become a bit more of a believer and started mining and wanted to invest, but got cold feet and pulled out at the last second [I kept mining for a few months, though, into a wallet I no longer have access to :| ]
I followed Bitcoin over the years, buying small and making TINY profits just for the hell of it, and happened to hop on the rocket just before reaching the moon a couple of months back.
Some of my biggest regrets in life are how I handled my Bitcoins early on -_-

Unfortunately, before i know bitcoin i knew those word, MLM, MMM, PTC and other various way how to earn real money from internet. And also become the reseller and dropshipper from online shop.
But the beginning is, when my friend introduce me about earn money from mining, dice and faucet website. And after learn from website and this forum, i realize bitcoin is exactly different from ponzi scheme product. this thing is stand alone with blockchain system which is a new term to me.

I also like you, I heard the first bitcoin from the global MMM ponzy program, but at that time I was not interested because MMM in my country had scam and I thought that it was just a clone, and I started being introduced with friends through bitcoin trading and I much make a profit there.
Yeah for must African countries, it was ponzi mostly MMM that introduce BItcoin to the majority.
