I came to know about crypto in 2013-14 but I had nothing to invest in and also had a burden of a student loan, I think after 6 months or so, I started working on many things online and started asking for payments in Bitcoin. It got me through many of my tough times and still is. I made most of my crypto from scratch and am really proud about it.

For me personally, when I heard about bitcoin... at that time I was immediately interested and wanted to know more about it, well it didn't take up to a year since I first heard of it and not long after.. I finally used it.
Basically, I really like new things that can really provide benefits, especially on the financial side.

How long did it take you to jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon?

I first heard about Bitcoin in 2009
I first used Bitcoin in 2013

Took me 4 years!

What about you?
Very lucky if you find out bitcoin early . Not with me , I know bitcoin in 2016 . At that time I prefer to play online surveys to fill the void of my time. And at that time I didn't really understand what bitcoin was, I just heard from friends who have played bitcoin. And when I learned bitcoin, unfortunately I invested with altcoins which made me suffer a huge loss at that time. Finally in 2018 I just dared to focus on bitcoin alone.

I heard about BTC when first time I bought laptop and start to learn how to make money online, that time about in 2014. In that time, I dont have any idea the future of Bitcoin, so  i just bought it in small amount and sold it for small percentace of profit. I did make mistake never buy again and jump in to forex trading. I never use BTC for transaction good and service because in my country is not permitted and BTC belong to commodities assets that allow to trade only.

I first heard about bitcoin in 2015 and start accumulating it but till today I wasn't able to use to buy anything. The main reason for this is country where I live, bitcoin is not legal. I get payments in bitcoin and convert it into fiat for daily living. Mainly I HODL bitcoin and exchange it with fiat, my friends in other countries help me in doing that.

Here you mean whether we started to accumulate bitcoin in our wallets or started to spend bitcoin ?

I came to know about bitcoin in 2017 and i started collecting it in the same year. However i did not spend bitcoin in the same year and keep on holding it.

I heard about Bitcoin first in site of HYIP in 2014 , in that times the price of BTC was aboit $400, HYIP is ponzi investment. This site accepted Bitcoin for make deposit and withdrawal. And after that,I was make research what is Bitcoin, then I found many explained about it and I did register on crypto exchabge then start to buy it. And from here, I learned how to trade BTC and others cryptocurrencies.

I first heard in 2013 and used it in 2013, I wish someone told me about it earlier. I hadn't such friends unfortunately.

If you now have a lot of bitcoin, do you hold it? You must now be part of the rich, because I'm sure in 2013 bitcoin must have been very cheap. I myself know it in 2017 it's quite expensive when compared to 2013.

Actually I am forgot about that. But what I remember is bitcoin price was still $200 at that time. My brother told me about bitcoin and it took me few days to jump in bitcoin investment. I forgot my first purchase using bitcoin but recently I usually use cryptocurrency to buy items in online game. I hope I can use btc to buy stocks, if there is cryptocurrency exchanges that provide it then it will be good, and I hope there is no KYC. Filling KYC form sometimes feel so tiring.

It wasn't too long ago, after I saw an article about bitcoin, although at first I couldn't believe I was trying to follow it, my goal was just "how can it earn" in a month I tried to run bitcoin to no avail, I finally met a friend who wanted to teach me about cryptocurrency, where I could make money and even make friends. That's a lot of fun. And now I've been there 4 years with cryptocurrency I've always been here.

I knew about Bitcoin when it was around $ 200 in 2014. I used to use my parents' money to buy necessities of life, so I didn't want to take the risk of buying Bitcoin for the purpose of saving money because of its volatility which was very risky for me.

I started buying Bitcoin when in 2017, when the Bitcoin price was $ 3500 I got a little gift from my friend, the value was around $ 10 in BTC, then I sold it for $ 14000 to buy food.

Not expecting the current price of Bitcoin to be beyond the expectations of many people. This is something crazy that should be put to better use right away: D

When I knew bitcoin it was way back 2017, I remember it's market value at that time is $3000 up but I didn't buy or invest in bitcoin at that time yet. I joined in a bounty campaigns that time so I can generate a profit from it. Way back at that time bounty campaign is so good I mean I'd be able to make a money from it but I don't know what happened to bounty campaigns now. Now I just couldn't believe that the digital currency that everyone used to questioned the worth and the value of bitcoin has already unfolded, a real $60,000 from the last time I know bitcoin value of $3,000 was a big difference.

Sharing my experience about it my first encounter with Bitcoin was in senior high school when some of my classmates are talking about it and I just ask about it and what it is because I'm just curious.

I Remember bitcoin was just 200 dollars and it just skyrockets and becomes a trend when it reaches the price of 1000$ in the market.

I've got interested and that's when I started to research it since it's about earning, I just research how to earn money at that time, and then it changes to how to earn in cryptocurrency. And that's where I discover bitcoin, but I never get the chance to buy a big volume of it since I can't afford to buy it at that time.

^ That 4 years is long enough for you to decide, in my part it took a year before I decided to join in crypto community because I have an interest in BTC. In the year 2015 I have heard a rumor about BTC until such then I found this forum after a year and begun getting my interest, 2016 I purchased and used BTC, at that BTC is very cheap but I don't mind investing in it and that part did not enter on my mind which is I have full of regret now. I purchase a little but in 2018 I cash out my BTC and until now I did not accumulate even at least a small amount,m all I want is to cash out them.

I actually first heard of Bitcoin around 2012, but at that time I wasn't really interested in Bitcoin. Entering 2016 more and more people are talking
about Bitcoin, I am more curious and try to collect Bitcoin through various faucets. Then entering 2017 became an unforgettable moment for me,
because the price of Bitcoin was hype at that time and I was able to get a very large profit. Unfortunately in 2018 I made a big mistake, i borrow
money to invest in bitcoin, but at that time the price of Bitcoin was dropping and I had to sell a lot of my assets to pay off my debt. It was
an unforgettable lesson for me.

The important thing is not when we hear about bitcoin, but when we join bitcoin. Although many people have heard of bitcoin, they do not invest in bitcoin. people are uninformed and do not like to research. What matters here is when we invest in bitcoin, how we make a profit, and how much we know about bitcoin. Many people have been in this market for years but still haven't learned anything. some of them have always learned something. there is a lot to learn in this market. bitcoin is a blessing for us.
Agree with your opinion. Not about when to hear about bitcoin, but when to start entering and investing in bitcoin.
people who only heard of bitcoin may have been many, but those who dared to enter into investment when bitcoin were new might still be few.

I just got into bitcoin between 2016 and I entered bitcoin several times and invested in it. But I didn't hold it back until now.

Bitcoin continues to be developed, the price continues to go up and bitcoin is now being talked about by everyone in the world. Bitcoin has pros and cons. Bitcoin is the future of payments in the digital age.

While there are some people who've heard of Bitcoin and started using it the same year, it seems that it took some time for most people. I guess when something new appears, humans are not very eager to try it out because something new might be dangerous or at least it'll require some effort to understand how to use it. I've heard of Bitcoin in 2013-2014 for the first time when info about the FBI closing Silk Road (or Silk Road 2.0, I'm not sure) hit media outlets. So yeah, it wasn't a great first impression, but about a year later my friend ensured me that it's not just money of criminals and that it's actually pretty cool and worth trying. So I started using Bitcoin around 2015 a little, and pretty actively since 2016.

I have heard it among my friends who have first discovered Bitcoin that seems like to be my mentors way back 2016 and have decided to jump in about 1-2 months right after knowing about it for I have decided to put into a try and see what can happen as time goes by and it seems like our intuition to continue our journey with Bitcoin has paid off and we are still willingly to continue exploring this even after college I guess. Despite of many circumstances that have happened with Bitcoin, we never loose hope and just continue staying with it so I guess this will just continue.

I think the first time I heard about bitcoins was the same time I actually bought it. The year was most probably 2014, I was exploring some news papers online, and there I saw an article about Bitcoin, so I searched up and landed on localbitcoins exchange where I bought my first coins. I bought around $20 worth that time, which is so much at today's price Grin I sold it when I needed money for something to purchase, wish I hold it till today Grin well, life regrets!
