i don't think the time when people come is as important as the reason why they came into bitcoin. at any time if they come in only to make profit and become rich (specially those who want to do it overnight) they will surely have a bad experience because of the volatility and the huge amount of FUD that is always around.
but those who came in because of the technology and what bitcoin as a decentralized currency offers, will always have a great experience and stick around forever.

Geographical locations also determine how their journey pans out. People coming from venezuela and most africans countries, financial freedom/possibility of making money will be their driving force. Meanwhile other well established countries privacy ( avoiding 3rd parties) could be the reason they get interested in bitcoin.
Personally my motivation to investing in cryptocurrency in general was financial freedom and I was once a hater of bitcoin since I felt it was already late to make massive profit but as I grew stronger in the industry and studies more I came to love bitcoin as a currency more than all the altcoin I had and now focus on accumulating BTC every little chance I get.

I mean, it should be different for each person. One thing is for sure though, I think mostly what makes people interested in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general, is the possibility of making money.
If were talking about like people that came in on..:
2015-2016, probably mostly people that are trying to make money through faucets.
2017, probably people who became interested mostly due to the money that could be made by investing in ICOs and or random hyped coins/tokens.
2018, probably ICOs also? Most likely a mix of everything.
Just my 2 satoshis. Personally, I became interested when I dove deeper after reading about the Bitfinex hack on Reddit.

I was thinking about this and I'm not sure what moulds people's experience with bitcoin when they first start? I started off by thinking it might be the time they come there but I know people who started in bitcoin at about the same time as me and they were very much into icos like ethereum.
I'm wondering whether it's the experience they come for that decides how their journey pans out. For example I think I came much more for knowledge and have only recently started trading (which is probably a much safer path to follow albeit less exciting)...
Anyone got any thoughts on this?
