Very interesting thread to see how most of us learn about Bitcoin.Personally i learn about it from a non famous article writer which was post it on Facebook in 2012 and was with the title ''the digital money Bitcoin another stock market buble?''This was the begin for me when i start reading about this and following it but i made the mistake back then to just read and follow it..  Cool

What prompted your interest in Bitcoin?

What resources did you use for educating yourself?

What are the most interesting things you learned?

What are you looking forward to learning?

I've had a passive interest in Bitcoin for a couple years now, but only recently started to learn about it actively.  I am very new and have a lot to learn, but I enjoy the learning process and have enjoyed the transition from newbie to much less of a newbie on several things.

I have read some, but don't have a good understanding of the logic/framework behind mining.  The most interesting thing to me is the potential functionality of Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for that matter.  At a time of such irresponsible monetary policy, it's very cool to see how Bitcoin fits into the mix and starts to enter our lives.  I'm not too concerned about the speculative aspect of it and investing in it to make serious returns, although that may very well happen.  It's cool to be able to access your money without having to go through a financial institution.

I'd like to get a better understanding of mining, and potential ways of generating Bitcoin.  I'd even like to understand the revenue model of these CAPTCHA and gambling sites.

Looking forward to hearing your stories and learning tips!

Cheers!
