I first learned about bitcoin on websites like YouTube and Facebook, but I can't recall when. So there was a point when I was looking for a job or even a part-time job, and I was doing some research on how to make money that was easy and profitable, and then I came across bitcoin, where you could invest and earn a lot of money. When it comes to bitcoin, there are several advantages; all you need is patience and a basic understanding of how it works.
It is also important that you know some tips or strategy if you want to make a good profit, one thing that I learn from other bitcoiners is they always say" BUY LOW SELL HIGH". It is very simple yet helpful Wink

I used to think of bitcoin as a joke for me before that bitcoin was impossible to convert into dollars but after my sister introduced bitcoin further I became more interested in bitcoin after I collected bitcoins then I just found out that bitcoin can really be exchanged for dollars.
So, are you interested in Bitcoin because it can be converted to dollars? This means you won't use Bitcoin if it can't be converted to dollars, right?
It is normal, but it would be better to use Bitcoin not only for earning money, you also need to realize of supporting a new technology & a new financial concept by using it. We all here to support the innovation in world's currency and digital investment. Don't forget to realize this role.  Wink

^ How sad that this is now what people think of BTC, to store value, not making it as a currency which is the creator want, it is a peer-to-peer transaction that could alternative fiat. Probably because most people know BTC because they want to profit, they don't know what the real use of this cryptocurrency is, as long as they will earn money, it is good for them. Back in 2016, I discovered BTC and I know BTC has the potential to grow but the problem here is I don't even accumulate any single number of BTC in my whole life.

For myself, I created the word Bitcoin in December 2006. There after I wrote the Bitcoin White Paper and then created the Bitcoin@bitcoin Twitter Account in April 2007. Then I created my P2P Foundation Account in my Japanese Psedonym in April 2007. After that I published the Bitcoin E-cash paper in P2P Foundation and SourceForge before I published the Bitcoin in IRC channel under my other Psedonym Gavin Andreesen. Which later Gavin Bell has adopted as his Names in the Bitcoin Forum. Actually, I gave the Name Gavin Andreen to Gavin Bell.
Ask Gavin Bell who is known as Gavin Andreesen, if he is honest man then he will tell the truth.

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.

So how about you, when and how did you discover bitcoin? 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?

This is a good thread, if people are honest and honestly speak the truth about when and how they know about Bitcoin for the first time that can lead to know the truth about those Bitcoin Gremlins who think they have created Bitcoin by themselves. They must speak the truth about their first encounter with Bitcoin.

I had heard about Bitcoin around 2015 or so, but the topic didn't really catch my attention Undecided , until at university (2017) a very close friend told me about cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and all this, at that moment he started calling me the attention, I investigated for a long time and I learned at that moment what was necessary to start in this world and over time little by little I learned many more things hehe and in a few weeks I entered bitcointalk... and here I am. Cheesy
This story is familiar. Many people explains that they knew bitcoin earlier than the actual time that they joined. It didn't catch your attention because bitcoin that time was less known. Like you, it was also my friend that opened a topic about bitcoin. I then research it and I joined this forum to learn more about bitcoin and stuffs. The year 2017 is the very peak of bitcoin because its identity is now slowly known to the public. That helped the price to rise and resulted for a new all time high.

The moment knew that bitcoin is a valuable coin, we will then regret that we didn't joined it immediately, the moment we first heard it. 2017 is still an early year, you have an advantage if you obtain more btc and hodl them till now.

Congratulation for your believed that bitcoin is a decentralized currency that can be exchange for dollars. Many people has showed more interest on bitcoin because is a digital currency that can be easily to convert to dollars to purchase what ever you want to purchase in the country. Bitcoin has brought more development to the world to eliminate errors from both domestic and international transaction. This is the reason why many countries will continue to legalized bitcoin in their various countries to help their citizens to grow higher in their businesses in the land.

So how about you, when and how did you discover bitcoin? 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?

That is a long time ago. But you have not told us how you discovered it, you only told us when you discovered it but yet it is not certain.  The how is still missing so we are also still waiting for the how. Discovering bitcoin is not an easy as task for me. Remember there is different between DISCOVERED something and KNOWN something. To Discover something means, you have to make research and found out new things for the first time. Satoshi Discovered Bitcoin in October 13, 2008. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/who-is-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-what-we-knowand-dont-know-11638020231 so you have not Discovered bitcoin but you have known bitcoin.

To KNOW something means, to understand, be awared of something. Although, they have similarities but they are different concepts. All the users of bitcoin are the category of knowing not Discovered.
As for me, I have not even known bitcoin. I am still struggling to know Bitcoin but I have heard the name but not yet know. I am still learning to know. And I am eager to learn and know it.

I heard about bitcoin in the year 2015 in a seminar. How did I hear it. It was from a seminar that I attended and the instructor said, it is an online investment platform that grows you capital by Trading.

man I felt very depressed just remembering the past when I was scammed by these PTC site scammers. I still remember the probox site where I earned more than 50$ a day all thanks to my pocket money, I invested in that scam site because I didn't know it was a ponzi scheme, I thought they were an advertising company, but I was mistaken. after months i found out that paypal had frozen their account because it accused them of being a ponzi scheme, gustavo gil peron (the scammer owner of the site) always came up with some excuse to continue to deceive people, i started to know about bitcoin because we ptc sites no longer accept paypal and they had added bitcoin so I wanted to know what bitcoin was to also use. that's when i started to know more about ponzi scheme and stopped using ptc sites.
Unfortunately that's the reason why people fell for scam ponzi websites, because they make it look like it's not a ponzi at all. If it was so easy and they started a website called ponzi.com then everyone would be able to tell it from a mile away, but when you are not doing that and when they actually start to pay, people think that it's not a ponzi since it's paying.

It only turns out to be an obvious ponzi when they realize they can't pay anymore and the whole thing crashes, until that moment there is really nothing that could make you aware that it's a ponzi. I ended up getting none of that, I didn't invest into any ponzi, but not because I was clever, but because I just got into crypto to hold long term.

at the beginning of knowing my bitcoin in 2017 before the pump happened at that time. and I don't really know him because he's still learning. at that time I was just looking for additional work, with bounty hunting, I got a lot of decent tokens to sell. unfortunately after that bitcoin dropped drastically and I didn't think to buy more, because the bubble sounded a lot at that time. until 2021 finally proved bitcoin worth investing in, but unfortunately I didn't invest when the price went down

The first time I heard Bitcoin was the end of 2013 when there was a significant surge in price and a lot of economic and business news that provided information about Bitcoin, and the thing that made me interested was when there was a reporter interview with Bitcoin Miner and explained in detail about how Bitcoin worked, This increasingly makes me interested and read many online articles about Bitcoin.

In 2013 and even if I'm not complaining I still feel I've been late to the party. If I only knew in 2009 the fun would have been so much greater, but it's still fine how it is. It's still not clear to me how I haven't found about it earlier since I'm an avid internet user. I suppose some things happen for a reason.
wow you really have a long experience about bitcoin. and I think it's a valuable experience.

I myself in 2009 or 2010 or 2011 was still actively looking for change on the internet by managing a blog or playing pay per click. and whether in the following year or in what year I forget. there was once a Pay To click that was rewarded with bitcoins per click. and stupidly I did not trace what bitcoin is and have potential or not. i just missed it. and maybe I've exchanged bitcoin for a few dollars.
and I took a long break from the internet. but in 2017 or maybe 2018 I heard the term bitcoin again when I was accidentally on social media. and how surprised I was at the price of bitcoin at that time.

I believe mine was back in 2015 by a friend who wanted me to invest in some new online coin which he had already invested in some other once along with Bitcoin and even though I did invest some little amount then, I really didn't take it seriously too until 2017 shortly before the bull market I had to reaccess my wallet and started taking it seriously till date.

I discovered Bitcoin in 2018, a friend of mine came to my house and started talking about it... I discovered Bitcoin in 2018, a friend of mine came to my house and started talking about it... the truth at first I was a little skeptical, I did not believe much in that kind of thing, but the more I talked and the more I began to see, I liked it even more, so much so that I have a part invested in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a great asset if I must write cause it has affect do many lives positively and had changed the lives of people that embraced it. Even though I discovered Bitcoin most recently, I vividly know that there is so much to benefit from it and soon I will become one of those people that Bitcoin had changed their lives.

When I heard about Bitcoin, there was so many positive comments about it. I could remember I bought it then but I selfishly lost almost all of my assets because of ignorance of the market. I tried to trade it to make more money but I was wrong cause my little knowledge about the market affected my thinking faculty and I lost almost all my holdings.

first I found out about bitcoin in 2017 through my sister, and at that time my sister said if you want to add money you can join the bounty project by creating a bitcointalk account and I created an account then I joined the project on bitcoin talk and at that time I wasn't sure I would make money but when the project was completed and the token distribution I was surprised that it could actually generate dollars.
Good that you only  use the forum for bounty purposes and not even investing Money inside  Grin

in 2017 ? meaning that same account that you are using?

My journey started almost same days as yours , but I started investing small amount in ICO back then(as ICO is also legit those days) and eventually joined Bounty of course till now.
