Topic: How have you heard about Bitcoin? (Read 694 times)
I honestly don't remember, it's been a long time.
Someone mentioned bitcoin in the comments on youtube.
I first heard about Bitcoin at a ISS conference in Prague at the beginning of 2011.. very interesting and inspiring lecture by a retired former policeman from Indiana, US.

I first read about it in a blog (I think it was mentioned on "the Oil Drum"). After I learned about it, I set google news to include a section on bitcoin, so when news outlets run bitcoin stories I see them there too. Back in 2011 I mentioned bitcoins to my brother (he is into stuff like open source programming, he is the only one of my family or friends who used cryptography before I did), he said he had heard of it the previous year because somebody wanted him to invest in their ponzi scheme, and he never looked into it in much detail. Heh, I should go mention to him that bitcoins are up something like 1000% from when he first heard about them.

I stumbled on an article that said how "bitcoin had died".
Hah! How wrong they were

Ive heard about bitcoin from the reddit bitcointip bot. I informed myself about bitcoins after I saw that bot.
Yeah, I am curious about this because when I had discovered its existence, I had no real life friend that heard about it except my economics teacher.
