Topic: When and how did you discover Bitcoin? (Read 2429 times)

Mine would be around 2016 with the same reason, I was curious about Silk Road first and then the people covering the topic keep mentioning bitcoin so I got curious and that's when I started reading about bitcoin although my fascination at that time was the enigmatic creator so I don't dived too deep in technicals, I was an 7th or 8th student at that time so all I care much about back then is playing games with my friends.

Im pretty sure I saw Bitcoin mentioned in Slashdot back in 2012, so the price must have been potentially less than $1. I guess it was about a new version going out, 0.something. Satoshi was still around uploading them.

Of course, I was just lazy-scrolling down and completely ignored it. I try not to think about that since it's a nice one way ticket to insanity if you start making numbers and thinking how uber rich one would be now if you just mined for a while.

I made my first move to bitcoin when it cost about ~$600. I even downloaded wallet, I think it was electrum, I don't remember exactly. But I didn't go further than this and didn't buy btc, because I had no idea how it was and where to buy it. It is now that many in the signature can get the answer to these sharp questions of beginners, but then it seemed to me extremely difficult and I abandoned this matter. Although before these events, I also periodically heard news about bitcoin in the background, more than once and every time I had the thought that it was too late to get into this niche. Even during the hype of 2017, it seemed that now it was definitely too late to invest in btc. But as time has shown, I was wrong.

We don't discover Bitcoin but we notice what is bitcoin because. The only person i will say that discover Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto and it's group and after eventing bitcoin the rest persons notice what is bitcoin because it has being created before now. Because when i discovered what is bitcoin according to normal usage of words everybody use. I believe that knowing of what is bitcoin this present time is not longer hard because of internet advertisement

2018, I think. I heard news about Bitcoin as it's used for illegal activities like terrorism, money laundering etc. So I searched and learned about it on YouTube and Google, then I found more and l'am curious too. Then one of my friends recommended this bitcoin talk platform.

I had only heard of bitcoin till 2017. But when a friend of mine was planning to put his money in Ripple, I researched more about cryptocurrencies and that’s when I got to know some details about bitcoin. Bitcoin was at around $1500 when I started keeping an eye on it.

that is what we are saying about bitcoin so many people discover about to bitcoin when did find was so cheap and low but they could not take bitcoin serious. Bitcoin is something that everybody like it around and the news of Bitcoin in 2014 2015 and 2016 we are speculating everywhere which is social media such as Twitter Facebook and Instagram bitcoin we are like discussing their everyday all people have seen it there but they could not work on Bitcoin so that is why many of them into working today concerning Bitcoin discover back 2012 a bitcoin was 2 years then before I knew about Bitcoin today it has helped me and I am proud of Bitcoin

I discovered Bitcoin way back 2016 when I tried to download and use a crypto wallet. But unfortunately, did not fully comprehend the full potential of Bitcoin as I was literally noob about crypto that time. How time fly really so fast that you can't even imagine that its price will go up.

I discovered about Bitcoin from a colleague. He told me how he profited from it in just a short period. Through my curiosity, I searched everything about Bitcoin to know how it works and what's its purpose. I have also learned that it's a risky investment and the price can change anytime. I was afraid and hesitant to invest so I turned my back on it until I've seen Bitcoin in the mainstream. I was so regretful because I missed the chance of investing in it. Now, I have learned the importance of Bitcoin investment and already allocating funds for it.

In general, I learned about the existence of bitcoin more than a long time ago. I really regret one thing - I started paying enough attention to this and buying late ...

Around May 2011 from a conspiracy forum!
 

With my husband. I was able to learn about it, he always tells me to invest with Bitcoin but doesn't believe him in anyway. At first, it is very hard to convince myself that bitcoin is true because I cannot see any physical things what btc looks like unlike with our money. It is very hard to understand cryptocurrency means specially when you are not that kind of person that was able to adapt high technology. But thanks to my husband for letting me know more about bitcoin. Thanks to him that he din not give up on sharing more about bitcoin. Now, i experience how to trade, gain and loss as well.

I still remember around 2017 getting a freebitcoin referral link. Then the curiosity to explore further what Bitcoin is before one of my friends introduces the bitcointalk forum. In the bitcointalk forum, I began to understand that bitcoin is a crypto asset that is valuable in the future and it has been proven to this day that the number 1 cryptocurrency asset is still an investment for many people.

This is very shocking but you won't believe this. My first of discovering about bitcoin was same day i joined the forum and due to my career I pays less attention to the forum and then i never knew one could even enrolled in anything called promotion or to start earning. It was after a year interval I started noticing that many people have been talking about bitcoin then I recalled back there's something called "bitcointalk" so I started paying interest and digging out lots of things from the forum. Though someone who thought me about the forum couldn't give me a clear vision of about bitcoin and the forum but I made sure get some lesson from and around here.
That was when I began to hear about wallet an types of wallet, sincerely speaking it was very strange to me and I was like out of the world so I was eager to know and to learn mostly about privacy, security also know the kind of sites I should click before getting trapped.

Well to say it all, I m very happy to know about bitcoin today as it has really change my way of living, learning and research since this forum carry lots of information about bitcoin even more to google. I don't google any information about Bitcoin but i come here directly to search around the forum and so kindly I will find my answers either from reputable members or from their past post.

I m really Grateful to know about Bitcoin today.

I first learned about bitcoin through Twitter on the news feed. It was about bitcoin. I got curious to know more about it and started reading more.

Unfortunately there will be plenty of people who came in a little too late which is why there will be pleenty of people who claim they are saothsi like this. The reality is that anyone who claims they are satoshi, needs nothing too big to prove it. Just sign a message from satoshis' address and you are done, it is literally a 1 minute job and nothing more.

Anyone who doesn't do that? Not satoshi in my mind. You could maybe trolling, or you could be serious about this, whatever you want to call it, but I am 100% guaranteed to not believe anyone who doesn't sign a message from satoshi himself, it needs to be done in order to convince me.

As far as I remember, I discovered bitcoin on an ad I saw on Facebook asking for commissioned referrals on a registering on a custodial wallet, That wallet is coins.ph as far as I remember and it is on it's early stage as a wallet. Up to this date, I can still access my wallet on coins.ph and I'm pretty proud how that I'm one of their early patrons.                                                                                                         

Its hard to remember but IMHO i discovered bitcoin about five or six years ago. I write paid articles & one of my clint asked me to take payment via bitcoin. I wondered about that unknown method but Later i google about bitcoin and try to learn about what bitcoin is, and it impact Positively on my mind. I guessed it could be value in future but didn’t imagine the impossible value it has, right now.

I started playing with Bitcoin a few years ago because I was fed up with PayPal's unfair policies. And after a while, I got more intrigued and discovered that others have been creating applications, and this unleashed an inflow of ideas. At the same time, I was somehow fascinated with the whole concept of distributed ledger as it was shown by the people who were involved in the Bitcoin project. It's a total game changer for a lot of things.

Yeah, quite sad to know people understand BTC for earning money only. They are not trying to learn what BTC real is, and what the original purpose is. We can't blame them to focus on investment, there is nothing wrong with this. Especially, in some countries, BTC can't be used as a currency (payment tool), it is allowed for a digital investment only. However, as a good BTC user, learning deeply about BTC is needed.
