I can't really said when I first heard about bitcoin but is been a while now.
When I heard a little discussion with one of cousin he was gisting me about bitcoin... I did not take serious i ignore it till I now see how is business was progressing. Trading is he's bitcoin and making transactions in a sweet able way that was when I asked him to tell me more about bitcoin.
He told he can't tell me more but he'll teach me way to know more about bitcoin
Topic: When You Heard About Bitcoin For the First Time? (Read 964 times)
When I got introduced to bitcoin I didn't take it serious till when I see bitcoin change who introduced me to the forum.. If not I could have been a year older on bitcoin now.
But we still Thank God for the effort we put to this time for what bitcoin have been doing for us we still use for our economy and other things... Using for transactions without 3rd party or fiat
Much like the first time I heard about bitcoin, I was in disbelief and dismissed it as bullshit.But we still Thank God for the effort we put to this time for what bitcoin have been doing for us we still use for our economy and other things... Using for transactions without 3rd party or fiat
But immediately I fell silent and thought that crypto is really profitable for holders, especially bitcoin, because after some time I heard for the first time that some friends have experienced the benefits of holding bitcoin or other altcoin crypto assets.
From there I started to believe and participate in this forum to learn about cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin until now.
It is from this forum that I can understand how to use crypto as a source of my income.
It is not the first time that I heard about bitcoin that got my interest, but more like second time. The idea was that you could use it for online payments, and not something to invest, and I miss those days.
Back when I first heard about it, that was a method where I could get paid for my work, I used to do a bit of development, still do, I am in marketing so that means I do development, design and everything else a bit enough to know who I am hiring and how they work, you can't hire someone without knowing how good they are if you have no idea how to do it yourself. So, when I heard that I could work with everyone around the world and just get paid in crypto? That was awesome period, now it's all about investing and trading, very sad.

It's been a long time since I first heard about Bitcoin. My friend recommended Bitcoin to me, and I didn't take it very seriously. He later said he made five times his money in Bitcoin. I became interested in Bitcoin, and I was afraid that my friends would be cheated. When I researched Bitcoin, I realized I was stupid all along. I regret it, I should have contacted it earlier.
I've asked about this topic before I believe, and got some interesting responses. It seem most people learned about it when they found out it could make them some money by a buddy or family member or whoever.. I am a little disappointed when I see that as it just feels like so few are actually learning about it for the first time in a better manor, like actually caring more about how it all works. I found out about bitcoin sometimes in 2014, but can't remember how I did and that drives me nuts lol
The first time I heard about Bitcoin was because of all those Ponzi schemes and hype on social media. People close to me had also heard about Bitcoin, but we didn't pay much attention to Bitcoin time. Later, I heard that Bitcoin can make money, so I started to study it slowly.
The first time I heard about Bitcoin was from the TV news, telling people to stay away from pyramid schemes and virtual currencies. Big gains are often scams. Later, the friends around me gradually deepened my understanding of Bitcoin. They often talk about mining, but I still couldn’t understand it at first. I laughed at my friends and stopped dreaming. When did you start mining coal? It turned out to be a large computer.The reputation of bitcoin that year was not good. A lot of news is saying that bitcoin is used in drugs and the deep web; others also say it's a scam since they are only referring to ponzi, which mostly those newbies that don't know bitcoin will agree with, but we as we know what is really bitcoin got angry and showed our opinion in social media, but bitcoin proved itself by hitting and breaking its ATH, and that is why it attracts more people about it.
...Yes, it's one of my big regrets.
Interestingly, we all make the same mistake of being exposed to bitcoin early on, but most of us don't pay attention to bitcoin and ignore it. It is only when it skyrockets in price that we start to notice it, which proves that most people don't like and want to avoid adopting something so new. But for those involved now, I think we are still in the early stages of the revolution, and we are still pioneers. That means we have an opportunity many people don't know about, so take advantage of accumulating bitcoin now so you won't regret it in the future when bitcoin hits 100k or 500k.

The first time I said Bitcoin was through a friend who had started working in the crypto world, and at first, I heard that bitcoin might be worthless physical coins and just a toy. But when I started reading about bitcoin and studying it I began to understand what bitcoin really is.
In 2016 I found this forum and my journey with bitcoin started from the moment I entered this forum. Bitcoin is not just a digital currency that its founder abandoned, Bitcoin continues to grow until now and is the most valuable digital currency that is not centralized and not regulated by anyone. Bitcoin became the forerunner of various altcoins and several other payment technologies.

I heard about Bitcoin in the news. At that time, some media reported that Bitcoin was a "Ponzi scheme". Out of curiosity I researched Bitcoin. I can't help but be amazed at him. It's really a great technique. I shared this with my friends at the time. Now my friend has made a lot of money in cryptocurrency. We usually discuss things together.
I learned about bitcoin through a random advertisement while playing online games. It says something about earning free money, after that, I searched about cryptocurrency and tried different faucets where I earned a decent amount of satoshi. I learned about it way back in 2013 however, I became interested in it when I joined this forum. I wish I could've invested more money when I first knew about bitcoin, the price of BTC during that time is just around $500.
I don't remember exactly when or where I encountered bitcoin, I also earned bitcoins through faucets and bitcoin bonus games. In 2012 and 2013, when the price of bitcoin was not too high, joining the faucets, we received a lot of bitcoin, not less like today.
Not only you, I believe many people regret like you for not investing much in bitcoin at the time. However, I think few people believed fully in bitcoin at that time since the future of bitcoin was uncertain and we regret seeing the development of bitcoin today. If given the opportunity to go back to the past and forget about the present, I believe we would never have invested in bitcoin at that time.
I first heard bitcoin from my uncle way back 2015 but I wasn't interested at that time because it was still too gibberish for me and I'm too indulged to do earthly things at the heigh of my teenager life. Only got interested last 2017 and that's was the start of my bitcoin career, if only we could get back at those times.
But I do agree, even if we had the same opportunity and had the chance to go back time, we still have the same response and won't still give bitcoin a chance to prove itself because I believe 2015 was the height of scams and pyramid schemes, so I don't really blame people if they look at the bitcoin as one of said scams/schemes.
Never forget the pass when someone got introduced to a new thing they dont have much focus on it.
Because I was introduced in these great platform I was someone that I didn't give much of time to it. Although uptill now it haven't been great time for me for been In these great platforms I'm now enjoying it

I still remember the first time I heard about Bitcoin : it was back in 2011 and Btc was only $5 the very first day I heard about it.
I used to spend some time playing online poker back then and a guy came on a gambling forum I was member into : he was advertising the newly launched, now legendary, poker site Sealswithclubs ( it was .org that time lol).
They held hourly freerolls with 0.01BTC
prize pool and only a bunch of players were joining them : I remember I played there some days , placed ITM quite often but then wasted everything on cash games because I felt I was playing with playmoney .
Dropped that Bitcoin thing because I didn't understood what it was about ( I was just focused on poker) only to get back into in during 2013 bullrun ( $ 1000 ATH lol) starting to hear about it more often and remembering it was something I had bumbed into couple of years earlier. This forum was the first place I came to when I decided to reconsider the bitcoin thing in the hope I wasn't too late at it : which is where the choice of my nickname comes from

When I first learned about Bitcoin, I didn't quite understand its beauty. Why did people invest in it? I searched to study Bitcoin and missed its lowest price, but it is still worth my investment.
Listening to the discussions of friends around me, when I heard the word "virtual", I felt that virtual currency was unreliable, so I didn't participate in the chat. Later, after they made a lot of money, I gradually understood the characteristics of the market and Bitcoin.
The first time I heard about Bitcoin was because of all those Ponzi schemes and hype on social media. People close to me had also heard about Bitcoin, but we didn't pay much attention to Bitcoin time. Later, I heard that Bitcoin can make money, so I started to study it slowly.
I also got to know bitcoin through my local ponzi project, back then I only knew bitcoin as a way to participate in that ponzi project, I never knew it could increase in value over time. After losing all my bitcoins with those scam projects I just started learning about bitcoin. It can be said that I missed a lot of opportunities to own bitcoins cheaply and use them to participate in ponzi projects without knowing how valuable bitcoins are.
I don't know exactly when I'm sure when I heard about bitcoin and joined this forum just to find out I wasn't interested in owning it yet, but after the bitcoin price was around 1500 $ I said WOW this digital money is fantastic, but I don't have bitcoin in full, only a small part.
if at that time I bought at the beginning maybe today I already have many times more than my initial bitcoins
but let it pass, but now I am ambitious to be able to hold my btc to the next new ATH
don't worry friend you still have that chance. bitcoin will still remain the king of all coins commanding the highest price in the market.if at that time I bought at the beginning maybe today I already have many times more than my initial bitcoins
but let it pass, but now I am ambitious to be able to hold my btc to the next new ATH
so you still have the opportunity to have more for the future.
more and more years bitcoin is increasingly recognized by many people in various countries and they are fighting to buy and hold as a long-term asset which will later make the price even higher.
so it's a bearish season is our chance to buy cheap and have more when bitcoin hits a new ATH in the coming year
is a summer. A friend told me that he made his first pot of gold (computer mining), and I was very curious. I learned some encryption knowledge from him. I feel very simple, I started to start, I found that Bitcoin can be invested (I usually research stocks, real estate and other investments). I started my investment journey.
I'm thankful my friends would tell me about Bitcoin. I lost a little money, but overall I made money.
