I was asking myself how did I get into bitcoin and I took a little to remember.
The very beginning was when I was about to buy a graphic card... I was googling it.

And you?

I was asked to participate in a currency assignment in my economics class. Bitcoin looked interesting, so I gave it a go. Come to find out, I'm diggin it!

I was told by a family member who had seen it on the Keiser report. Max Keiser is big on publising BTC

I found out about it online, I was browsing and saw news about this weird thing called bitcoin that you could buy stuff with and then found out I could actually earn a few from home, which at the time was awesome.

I was contacted about a business that was focused on bitcoin for its main currency, commissions and new projects. Joined it and have made some bitcoin from it. It has since gone on to release several bitcoin related websites and is moving on to bigger projects. Early on it struggled because most people didn't know about bitcoin, including myself but things are looking good now. It has managed to give me several thousand dollars worth of bitcoin so I'm pretty happy with it all so far.

Well i broke my bitcoin virginity today and am i the proud new owner of some btc

,

i started reading about bitcoins back in 2011 but was abit to scared to buy some as i herd all these horror stories and hackers and blah blah blah. so it wasn't really till the last few months iv really been watching btc markets and values. ( really makes you a little crazy) also with the price sky rocketing and today falling under 430GBP i thought this was the best time to buy some.

we really need to start making this process easier, although it is quite straight forward you kind of have to know what your doing in order to really understand it. also i would really like to start brancing btc out in my area, i speak to people on a daily basis about btc and they have no clue. so i was thinking if there is a simpler way of introducing this to a business, i dont mind doing the leg work and approaching . i may sound a bit too optimistic like every new person to the world of bitcoin but i really want to start opening this up where i live, (uk) pretty much a untapped market.

also any donation will help massively

thanks people!

if you would ask me I would say that I go into bitcoin by chance, a rare coincidence when I downloaded the bitcoin app on my laptop and here we are today.

It all started in 2011, on one of my favorite message board communities that I am a part of.

We are ALWAYS discussing VPN's, and when Silk Road became the rave on the underground market, TOR came up.

The tech heads on the board began discussing this protocol called "bitcoin" and that that was the only thing one could use when dealing with the particular VPN, TOR.

And slowly, but surely, I came around and started to understand that bitcoin was way, way, way bigger than a single clandestine website pushed by the mainstream media!

This...is...a REVOLUTION!

I just read this somewhere, in the news perhaps? Curiosity kills the cat, so I conducted some research about bitcoin and learned the whole infrastructure behind it. Way back, it's $60 and look at it now, its $1000 per BTC. Wow!
