I took Bitcoin seriously I noticed that it was actually working to help Wikileaks during the timeframe that both Visa and PayPal were dictating to their users what they could and could not do with what was, supposedly, their own money.

Unfortunately I got involved in another project and didn't get back to doing anything with repo I'd pulled until mid 2011.  Oh well.  We all have regrets I guess.  I have to admit that getting into it after the early 2011 run-up and part way into the decline saved me a lot of money and that was just lucky.

After the bitcoins I bought hit about $50 than I started to really get engrossed with bitcoin.

I was aware of bitcoin almost from the start. But although I thought the idea was amazing and was neat, I never expected it to catch on as much as it had. I never expected it to go above $20-$25. As soon as the snowball started going down the hill and it seemed like a general, positive economic movement was happening, I've tried never to doubt bitcoin ever again.

The first time I heard about Bitcoin was when Lulzsec was accepting donations in it. Hearing only that it was an "online currency", my first thought was that it was some kind of online game currency that people took to seriously (like farmville cash, etc). Later on, I heard about Wikileaks accepting it and began doing some research. From that point on, I was hooked.

What about everyone else?
