I figure out bitcoin through my friends and colleagues who are always busy in their laptops. I was the one who are just doing some stuffs regarding to my education when one of my friend approached me and introduce blockchain technology as a research. In this case, my plan is to create a secured voting system that will serve as my thesis but it turns out to bitcoin where I put almost all of my free time. You know why? studying while earning money is much cooler than developing thesis while suffering.
Was reading about how Bitcoin first came into existence and people's first experiences with Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, etc on Reddit. I want to know how your guy's first experiences was with Bitcoin, and if you ever had any regrets or wins throughout the years. Also, would be cool to know how people first actually got Bitcoin back nearly a decade ago when it wasn't as easy as buying some from a local Bitcoin ATM near you.
I got my first coins during the 4th quarter of 2012. Back then the exchange rates were around $10 per coin. But it was not easy to purchase Bitcoin back then. A few international exchanges such as BTC-e and Mt Gox were online during that time, but it was not very easy to deposit cash in these exchanges, especially if you are residing in Asia. So I got my coins from Localbitcoins, after paying a premium of 20%.
And I was very nervous when I made my first purchase. I was scammed a few times in the internet before that, and I was not completely sure whether Bitcoin was genuine or not. But a few months after I purchased my first coins, the first Bitcoin bull run occurred. The exchange rates shot up from $10 to $261, and later that year, they rose to $1,250 per coin.
I knew bitcoin when in 2011. At that time I opened a local forum site called "kaskus" and discussed bitcoin there. I was very interested and finally, I bought it with a friend I knew through Facebook. I bought with all my salary for a month. I want to buy something with bitcoin but no online shop accepts BTC as payment. I thought bitcoin was a scam at the time, I regretted having spent my salary on bitcoin and decided to leave it in my wallet. when 2017 the bitcoin trend is very lively to discuss and I was very surprised to see the price of bitcoin in 2017. I was lucky to still keep bitcoin in my wallet and still keep a private key on my laptop. that's my experience when I first knew Bitcoin.

As of this moment at my local place, without atm outlets for crypto was not openly accessible to people except me who've been using bitcoin for a long time. It was a cool experience that I've been lucky enough having bitcoin independently, and earning it without limitations compated to those person who has no knowledge about it. Though I've been sharing my thoughts towards my friends about bitcoin, it isn't enough to educate them unless it became popular at different places.
I start bitcoin on the year 2017 where the bitcoin run so fast and it would be good for me I also think to rely on the bitcoin to live because there are a lot of good campaign on that time but suddenly the 2018 get you realize that it was not always happen until now there are a lot of campaign that are not good and some can waste your time.

I found out bitcoin from a trading analysis app, it is SparkProfit. where every member who succeeds in guessing the price movement will be paid a dollar. and withdrawal options are via Bitcoin. after that I searched for new information, and got the freebitco.in website and the flappy bird game. who pays bitcoin too. in one month I make 0.2BTC (rate 300 $ / BTC in 2014) through faucet etc. until now I was trading and Bitcointalk. and my regret is always converting my BTC to fiat. so I can't take high prices in 2017. and after that I started collecting BTC again through Bounty and trading. I never buy BTC from ATMs or etc

see? Isn't cryptocurrency full of surprises? so don't waste this opportunity at all. That is why I decided to resign from my previous job and focus on trading and doing bounties. Plan B, I want to make an independent business for passive income, because cryptocurrency sometimes gives difficulties too.

The 1st time when I know bitcoin, I thought it is a scam which is not because I know the truth now, when I know that the truth is, I regrets myself not getting involved immediately to bitcoin, if only I can turn back and invest before when bitcoin 1st Time exist then I am rich now. 
I found bitcoin first trough app called stumbleupon. It gave me a link to the video that explained btc. I downloaded the walled and can't remember if i got the miner working or not,
but then i quickly gave up because i didn't understand any of it. Some time passed and i read about darkcoin trough reddit, and went into that.
Then there was a long time frame of wins and losses (mostly losses before i learned how to trade).
Eventually i left the whole scene that i do regret. At the time bitcoin was going from $500 to near $300, so i gave up nearly on the bottom.
I really thought that this would have been the end of a pipe dream, and the amount of bitcoin i spend those days still gives me shivers.
But as i learned to get more money in bearmaket with swing trades it anyway, i wanted to come back. So i came back when it was 500 again coming up and i am still in here, and this time i am not leaving.
Sometimes i still wonder if one of those hard drives on my closet contain the old wallet and if i mined bitcoin or not. I need to get an adapter to check them out some day.

First got to know about bitcoin when I was randomly browsing the internet. It was like back in 2013 or maybe even before. Didn't show much interest on it, then one day I was looking for a way to gamble without much hassle and came across bitcoin again. Got a little bit interested on crypto currencies. Started to invest on it (and gamble too). Lost a lot when gambling, but I don't regret anything.

I'd say bad, because in a retrospective, Satoshi foolishly released a windows only wallet. This lost me interest, two years earlier i said goodbye to windows, and never went back to it ever since. Yes, with the code available it was ported later but during that time i was busy with my job and didn't care about it until it was too late for me to be able to just buy and hold. The economy in this country collapsed due the eternal politician idiocy, the fact that they can cause a disaster and have the weaponry to remain eternally in power unchecked.
In 2013 i played with Dogecoin which indirectly made me learn about Bitcoin, but we no longer had access to foreign currency, and there was no path to buy, even if you could, it would amount to a few satoshis anyway.
And things only got much much worse.
This is why, you cannot trust people. Do not trust, this is what makes bitcoin strong. No surprises, all is code.
Let all fiat and Chicago school inflationary economies fall, the sooner the better. No more debt, no more fractional reserve banking, no more bubbles.

Lucky for me I first heard about bitcoin by accident, I was looking for a way to buy a piece of software but I had no way to pay for it and then I saw there was a form of payment I have never hear about, something called bitcoin, I investigated what it was and I liked the concept and bought some of it to buy that software, and about my biggest regret I suppose the majority of the members of the forum will be with me on this one, to not have sold my coins at the end of 2017. 
I have known Bitcoin because of some altcoin advertisment that lead me to this forum. At first I participated in altcoin giveaway, got a short break and came back on 2016 and stays until now. It was a lot of learning and earning experience especially during those cryptocurrency peak season of 2017. I am able to earn profits that enable the change in my life. From nothing to something, that is what Bitcoin let me experience.
My first experience happened through my friend, he gave introduction about bitcoin. Later he created a wallet for me on blockchain.info which is the domain name earlier. He transacted a small fraction of bitcoin and this got received in my wallet. Further explained about the possibilities of usage. After all this after few days explained how to cash out and he received the cash on his bank account on selling bitcoin. This made me interested towards it. I too have regrets, because those days when I learned about bitcoin the price was not more than $500.
I got to know bitcoin in 2015 from some of my friends, at that time they tried to introduce and explain about bitcoin but I didn't respond well even I didn't care and that was my stupidity.
and from time to time for a year and a half I saw the lives of some of my friends financially changed and had far better facilities than before, and finally in early 2017 I began to be interested and listen to them when explaining in detail about bitcoin and finally I joined and until now, and I really enjoyed it and it was very fun because my life was better than before and I also enjoyed good profits when that time bitcoin reached the highest price at the end of 2017.
Thank you friends and bitcoin

I didn't know Bitcoin before, I just found out about it with a friend of mine who also uses bitcoin. It made me curious to know this because I didn't have a job back then. So I started bitcoin by claiming faucet sites, invesments and more. Probably the best experience I've had here was the first time I received bitcoin in my wallet. (0.0001 BTC) worth 0.10 $. That's why I was so happy.
The most frustrating thing that has happened to me here is that I would have earned 10 BTC in trading. But because I was scared then I sold my token right away thinking the price would drop right away.
Curiosity really drives us to where we are right now.The most frustrating thing that has happened to me here is that I would have earned 10 BTC in trading. But because I was scared then I sold my token right away thinking the price would drop right away.
That is also the same experience I have, after knowing bitcoin from a friend thru social media, I started to do research and ask him directly about it. I tried everything, investing, trading and even gambling just to earn.
My curiosity opens a new path and gives me an opportunity to learn and earn at the same time.

I found out about Bitcoin in 2012, but I made a decision to invest until 2017, because I focused on other issues, but then I decided to concentrate 100% on the activities related to cryptocurrencies, because I am sure that this is the Money from the future and also from the present, if at the time I had heard of Bitcoin I had made the decision to invest, today I would have a fortune, however, the opportunities remain open.

So I was scrolling on the internet and it happens that I saw something related to bitcoin. At first I didn't care at all but after some time, I guess months? I saw something again and I got curious then remembered that a friend of mine mentioned bitcoin before so I asked him and then that's the start. To make the story short, I become more interested and never expect I'll be staying here for years now.Regrets? Yes I do. I regret losing some btc because of carelessness but since I've learnt from it, I'm becoming more careful.
It's really happy to see those testimonials from people that had change their life because of cryptocurrency, its really a grest pleasure to be part of this journey.
Since I begun here, I also have that much money because I see to it that all I have experience will be experience by my siblings too, so I am helping them with their allowances and other needs in school.
