I heard of Bitcoin many years ago from now but not the first times of it. After hearing about it, I didn't jump right onto it for making an investment immediately. Because I barely knew about cryptocurrencies in the end. After some time (a time period between 1-2 years), I started making a little investment into it as I learned about the market much more.
I heard the word "bitcoin" 2017 from my cousin, she started to tell a lot of things about it and tried to convince me. Like you I didn't jump right away into investing it. Tbh, I didn't believe it at first and not paying attention to all the details she discussed. I started to research about bitcoin last year and I started using bitcoin this year (2021). This pandemic really hit us hard economically, financially and esp. health matter. I had the hard time looking for the job unti I decided why not try bitcoin, and I'm not regretting at all. This is what I do for living now and I feel slight regret for not using it these past few years.  It takes me almost 4 years before I fully decided enter this industry.
I got the same experience as you. I heard Bitcoin way back in 2015, and I'm not really interested in Bitcoin as I think it was SCAM until another year was passed. I saw many of my friends earning Bitcoin through Bounties, Signature, etc. I earn some bitcoin through participating signature, bounties, and even Investing in ICO's, and I only regret that I sell it at a lower price because after I sold all my Bitcoin, in just a few months, the price of Bitcoin was 20k USD. I still regret that I didn't hold my coins longer.

I know Bitcoin in early 2018 and I used Bitcoin in the middle of 2018. It was not too many time for me to ensure my self buying some Bitcoin. I came to Bitcoin investment in the bearish season, where Bitcoin was in the cheap price. At that time, many people were afraid about the future of Bitcoin. Also, some countries tried to ban Bitcoin and crypto existence. However, I force myself to buy and be brave because I am optimistic in the future of Bitcoin.  Cool

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?
Am all green with envy, knowing you knew bitcoin that long ago makes me question which lost island have I been all those while, well I must have heard bitcoin in news, YouTube, telegram, Instagram, Facebook but I can say it was those part of things I had shifted in my subconscious and never gave it the interest I should have not until some time 2019, well I think that was my turn to bitcoin because Immediately got interested and hopped into bitcoin atmosphere.

got to know Bitcoin around 2014, but haven't fully believed it yet.  At that time I was always looking for sites that provide free Bitcoin from faucets and looking for entertainment on gambling sites, as I remember the gambling game that I often visit is RPLS, if I'm not mistaken.  for sure I don't remember the name of the site but I always got entertainment from him.  in 2015 and 2016, I was too busy working so I left all activities related to cryptocurrency, then came back in early 2017 because I saw the price of Bitcoin has risen sharply in various news on social media, after that returned to focus on this industry, until I found this forum because there were references from two of my friends who had joined earlier than me here

the point is I know Bitcoin is approximately 5 years after Bitcoin was created by the developer

     Well, I heard about Bitcoin in the late 2011 and I remember how fascinated I was about it. The sad thing though is that when I was bored and read random stuff on the deepweb, I saw it being used by criminals quite often which was a big turn off at the moment. Had I known better I would've read more about it instead of seeing it as a criminal's money and believing what others perceive it to be. And so, fast forward, I only was able to engage in this industry on year 2016 when pumps were going on. kinda sad being late specially now that bitcoin and this industry has come this far.

I also heard Bitcoin earlier than when  I decided to start going deeper with it. I wish I had thought of it sooner so I could have maximize my opportunity to learn and earn more. And that was one of my regrets in my crypto journey.

I will not even write how much time passed between these dates, as if I did it you would think that I am an idiot! Smiley Okay, if I seriously learned about bitcoins while still at the university, but did not go deeper, as my older brother told me about it, he was engaged in IT and understood computers from his youth, I decided that this is another topic for nerds, as he forgot this. It was 2009 or 2010. I bought the first bitcoin already in 2016, when the topic developed and became a global "sensation". In short, I'm stupid because I lost a lot of time between these two events.

Heard in 2007
Were there rumors and articles that have been online on that year about bitcoin?

AFAIK and cmiiw, Bitcoin's whitepaper was published on 2008 so that means that only a very few people have knew it until the official launching of bitcoin.

Unless you typed the date wrongly.

I just heard bitcoin last November 2017 and I also start learning it that year. I also start claiming bitcoin from faucet but sometime I think that it has no value and I just played, I exchanged it into other altcoins and  I regret now, because if just know that bitcoin is very valuable now, maybe I will try my best to collect bitcoin from faucet as long as I can and just hold it. Well, that's the past and I believe that anytime until now is not late to invest in bitcoin if we want.

Woah lucky for you, you have adopted so early. In my country bitcoin is very much spread as an investment scam due to the fact that we have less knowledge about it. But, after some time in 2017, after it got it's bull run, many of us saw the potential of BTC and tried to enter. I personally adopted BTC wayback 2018 and tried to have some in my bags.

when i heard about bitcoin i was thinking twice if im going to try it and took me few years until i finally decided to try bitcoin because that year there are now realistic testimonies international and local  .
when i first use a bitcoin the feeling was amazing .
cant believe my eyes that what im owning is a money with real time value but the use of it back days was limited compare to today where i can use my bitcoin anywhere i like .

When i first heard the word bitcoin it was totally a different word came from different dimension of life in which i really don't have any idea.
Glad I have a friend who knows it and he explained to me what it is and the probable worth in future.
At first I was hesitant because the time bitcoin name became known was also the time where scamming was popular too and I thought that maybe bitcoin was ine of the scams too.
But when I decided to try doing crypto thing i just proved to myself that it was different, also totally different on how to deal with it, everything was new and needs to learn all of those things but it turned out so worth it and i'm grateful that I have tried it.

What about you?

You are very unfortunate if you know Bitcoin in 2009 and do not learn more about Bitcoin. maybe 2009 is the right time for you to buy Bitcoin as best you can or maybe you can sell your house to see the current price. Grin Maybe now you are a millionaire who just needs to make a profit from the Bitcoin you buy. But there are many stories that will be different from everyone about when they know Bitcoin. Can't imagine the advantages of buying Bitcoin in 2009, is it possible that I can buy an island? Undecided

Took me 4 years!

What about you?
I first heard Bitcoin in 2017.
I first used Bitcoin also in 2017.

I still remember the time when I first introduced into this forum and faucets and the coins that I got from faucets is what I used in Eobot Cloud Mining. That is the first time that I used Bitcoins.
Unfortunately, I don't have any cash at that time and I'm getting some money on faucets and at the same time bounty campaigns here in the forum. At that time, I'm learning at least the basics of it. I'm just happy that something like Bitcoin has been introduced to me Smiley. A new technology, a new currency and the currency of the future.

I knew about bitcoin maybe around 2017 and I become btc holder in 2017 too. But at that time I use every btc that I earn so there are not much left. My biggest profit is when btc hit 20k for the first time then the price fall. Actually I believe that bitcoin price will rise again so I want to hold it, but my family keep ask me to sell it. I was so regret but I still thankful because I know about bitcoin and trust it.

I first heard about Bitcoin in 2014 and did not take it seriously and ignored it because it is all virtual and decentralized I did not trust it at first but my friend again approached me and said it has huge potential but still I did not show much interest in Btc. Finally, my friend approached me again while introducing in this forum, and at that time I understand I am late now When I saw Btc Forum thread,s and came to know how people adopting BTC so fast and trusting it So It took me 3 years to buy bitcoin.

I actually heard about Bitcoin because I needed to use Bitcoin to pay for some program. It was back in 2016 and a colleague was introducing me to what eventual didn't work out and we were suppose to subscribe to the program by paying with Bitcoin so he helped me open a blockchain wallet, bought some Bitcoin to pay for the program and my crypto life started fully in 2017.
