I first started trading bitcoins a few months back. Unfortunately the bitcoins were in a online wallet, instawallet. Instawallet was hacked and shutdown in April and I filed a claim to get my bitcoins back. But I am still waiting for the payout from the claim. So my first experience was not that great.
I am now interested in Scrypt-coins and I am mining Casinocoin, Dogecoin and Lottocoin. I earned about 50 dollars last month with a hashrate of 550 kh/s, so not bad. In the future my attention will probably shift to the more energy-efficient (memory-intensive) coins, or coins which calculations have a dual purpose (such as searching for prime numbers).
Topic: When did you start? (Read 2116 times)
I started after the initial takeoff around March of 2011. I set up miners on my AMD card, and was making a btc every few days initially. My how times have changed.
i started a month after it was released, in 2009. i mined 50 BTC. but stopped after that
I started a couple weeks prior to the Silkroad stuff. I played around with both Bitcoin and a couple of different altcoins trying to get a feel for the whole thing. Settled on doing Litecoin mining and trading to Bitcoin as needed. I really should have started earlier on when I heard about it last year, but never had a good opportunity to do it.
I started back in the summer. Wish I had been apart of it alot longer.
I heard about bitcoin around 2009 from a friend while attending uni. and was extremely interested/fascinated, so I read about them and used my PC to mine a few. Unfortunately, I sold @ around $80... Oh well, I am glad that the bitcoin stayed strong!
i bought my first btc in october 2011.
I started after the bubble popped in April, but did several newbie errors in daytrading 
Just today 
better than never
better than never
I have heard two years ago of bitcoin.
But I did nothing, and now when the price is that high I want to start mining/trading.

G'day there,
I heard about BTC back in 2010. I really wish I had of done some mining back then instead of leaving my computer searching for aliens with SETI@Home. Oh well.

I heard about it in 2010 while browsing a game website that accepted bitcoins.. I said to myself "what's bitcoins"? I didn't think much of it so I moved on. So for the past week or so I've been reading news articles about bitcoins, and just until yesterday when it hit about 2k for a bitcoin is when it caught my attention and I decided to take notice.. Really wish I did my research earlier.. but better late than never
I started visiting faucets when the price jumped up to $30USD. I thought "Woah! I'm gonna wait for the price to come down from this bubble before I buy up big." I'm still waiting for that ol' bubble to burst so I can buy up big.
we may be in for a bit more pf a wait... best hope would be the gov bans it, then buy while they figure out they cannot ban it.
I don't know if that will happen, best case scenario for the downside buy op.
Or maybe it will fail.
Binary proposition.

I started about three years back, in about two weeks it'll be my third anniversary since taking the plunge and joining the Bitcoin community. As a whole it has been a rather interesting experience, with a lot of ups and downs and in particular wisdom gained about humanity (which has in turn led to cynicism). Hope the next three years will be a little better! 
I heard about it in october and started buying in early november after doing search on how it works etc.. Now trading and also have invested in /ckbdoz]CEX.IO for purchasing GHS to mine bitcoins. so far going good. making good profit at /ckbdoz]CEX.IO
