In 2011, my internet friend told me he developed a BTC wallet in IOS systam, but Apple rejected his wallet application because Apple is against BTC relevant apps, especially wallets.

I'm regret I didn't buy BTC at that time, I could buy a shit tons(1K+) of BTC, but I didn't. I even doubt BTC could be non-sense.

And in early of 2013, BTC went up significantly, I bought some, about 100USD. After that, it went to 265 USD, and went down to 50 USD in a week.

Back in early 2012 in some gaming/tech news site I saw it being mentioned briefly, ignored it since it was linked to drug/criminal stuff as well Sad

I first learned of bitcoin at the beginning of 2014. At that time, I was browsing in my friend's blog, I saw an ad about bitcoin, and then I asked him.

For me it was 2013 when it was worth just above 1000$ seeing how the value had gone from under 1$ to over 1000$ was just so amazing, I though it would just increase more and more Tongue
Anyway i'm really glad i started using it, so when did you first hear about Bitcoin and what did you think about it? Smiley

For me i heard about it in 2012 but never paid much attention to it until i see a friend use silkroad and that totally amazed me to the point i had to learn more, i am a little gutted i never tried to learn more when i first heard about it but the old saying is true better late than never.  So op did you buy in at $1000? That must hurt if you did at least you are still here. I love bitcoin and i won't be going anywhere now Smiley

At the beginning of 2013 when I was buying private vpn and saw Bitcoin as a payment option. Great day to me.

2014 early autumn... colleague at work told us we should all buy hashlets cause its the next big thing... And I bought some... damn... I was lucky enough to nearly get even. But I know a lot of people lost money in this scam...  Embarrassed
Later I was tricked by some shills on this forum to buy into AMHash scam and this time I lost some... Not much, but still...

I've heard about in quite a long time ago actually. I've heard of it in 2010 and I only jumped on the train in 2011. After 2011, I completely forgot about it until I got reunited with my wallet at the end of 2012 when I was cleaning up my externals - boy, was I happy when I looked at the balance, I was going to do a full format on the drive, thank god I didn't - After the reunion, I joined the forum in 2013. I always read over the forums, I never thought to myself that I would sign up. I'm not really a talker.

I got to know about bitcoins in 2013 but wasn't interested in it as Bitcoins are not legally recognized and there were only faucets and coinad from where I could earn bitcoins. Later in 2014, I came to this forum and started learning new years of mining bitcoins and earning bitcoins for small jobs and campaigns.

I don't know at what time exactly, but I remember it being around $10 back then. I remember thinking "$10?! That's a lot." and never bought any. Oh the pain...

I heard about it when some mainstream news tv channel (forgot what one by now) made a small mention of BTC when the price exploded at 1K surpassing gold.

I heard about it pretty early on from a post on Hacker News it seemed interesting and I downloaded it. When the blockchain download started I had no idea what was going on. I left it all night and in the morning saw it still hadn't synced. So I uninstalled it. Sad

I kept hearing about it on HN and through a friend who used the Silk Road. On the rise up to $200 I got really interested again and actually began using it.

I think i heard it way back in the time before it was worth even 100 USD. Too bad I saw it always being talked about next to criminal activities therefore ignored it all the time. Damn journalists.

Late 2012 / early 2013 was when I first heard about bitcoin, I think wikileaks had just started using it for donations (due to the payment blockade).

Wish I'd done more research into it back then, only glanced at bitcointalk and wrote it off as a fad.
