Topic: When and how did you discover Bitcoin? - page 12. (Read 2429 times)
I was introduced by a friend, but before I was not interested in what bitcoin and friends are, at the end of 2017 I just focused on studying bitcoin and how to get it, it turns out that bitcoin can make my finances have a good cycle
I heard about it fairly early, around 2010. Don't really know how, but I spent a shit tone of time on the internet back then so I probably stumbled upon it. The problem is, I waited 7 years to get into it XD Well, serves me right for being cautious. By the time I got into it, it was already a big deal so it was everywhere. But I got no regrets, as far as I am concerned, I found about it in 2017 from a friend 
I firstly heard of it in 2017 (when it peaked at $18k) but didn't give to it any attention at all. Then in 2020, on another forum I was told to accept bitcoin as a service, but I had no idea how it works. The same forum redirected me to bitcointalk.org, which is how I started my journey.
And yeah, I became an addict to this concept.

At least you're honest. 
So how about you, when and how did you discover bitcoin?
I was introduced to cryptocurrencies through someone.What were your initial thoughts? Did you think negatively of it at first discovery and change your mind, or did you always think it was a great idea?
These questions are quite similar, so I will lump them into one answer. My first thoughts were about how complex the whole idea was and how difficult it would be to navigate, same were my thoughts as a newbie on the forum. I never had a negative notion about bitcoin and was surprisingly very receptive to the whole technology and also very interested in learning more about it.And Yes, I always thought it was a brilliant idea.
One thing that kind of drives me crazy is I don't remember exactly when or how I discovered bitcoin. I know that it was either late 2013 or early 2014, but I can't specifically remember when or how. I have a few email records from late 2014 which prove that I knew of bitcoin from back then, but they do not provide any clues as to how I discovered it.

I can't really remember but the chances are I probably heard about it on a forum where I used to hang out all the time. Then I googled it and bam bitocintalk.org appeared as the first result and I am here since then. There was some price action going on at that time and people were talking about it a lot. I guess BTC owes its popularity to its volatility. It goes up, it is news, it goes down it is news. You just can't escape it.
There was this faucet site that used to pay money in Bitcoins and also this site which usually paid you to watch the videos, therefore I was trying to earn some money online so I would hang around these sites and then gamble my money in slots, ended up using a lot, lol, I did not know much about it then, my friend joined the forum and then he introduced me to it, it definitely too time to get used to everything and at the same time, I do remember having some probelms with transactions to other countries then I tried using bitcoins, it worked perfectly well! I even tried downloading the mining software on the computers, well it didn't work, slowly I got to know more about bitcoins and also about the campaigns, explored the services section and at the end of all of it, now am encouraging people to adopt bitcoins and make their accounts on the forum to keep track of the whole community.

I did not think negative about bitcoin when I knew about it because it was a great coin at that time, I knew bitcoin barely two years ago. I saw it online and I learn how to earn it which took me to this forum. I learn about how I can avoid scammers because I learned greediness is the easy means scammers are using to scam people of their bitcoin, I learned to avoid these dangerous people and how I can keep my bitcoin safe. I have never regretted that I know about bitcoin, it has been a blessing for me. I saw about bitcoin online and I remember all the begining absolutely.
