How did you get into bitcoin?
« on: February 04, 2012, 11:05:08 AM »
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.

Got an investment guide email and checked it out.  Decided to give it a whirl. Anti-establishment money... who doesn't love that?

I found out about bitcoin when I joined in Betcoin™, an online casino website that uses bitcoin as payment for players. I earned a lot of bitcoin since then.

My brother started mining litecoins about 3 months ago. Since he started he has built 10 mining rigs. He tried for two weeks to get me into it to no avail. Finally he decided to park two of his miners at my home. After watching the coins click into the bitcoin account I was hooked. Since then I have spent well over 100 hours researching cryptocurrency.

my friend was already mining, had 1 machine, bought more later. It was really interesting to listen how he trades his electricity to money.

It was 1 year ago. My friend told me Bitcoin is a good business. That was like 30$ in that moment.

I wish I could give you a moment, but I started following it last year, and was hooked by the idea of a currency that banks, governments, and private interests could create, manipulate, or control.


How can a free man not be attracted to such a liberating concept?
