    Post how you found out about BTC.

    For example: 'I was on the Aether mine craft mod's homepage and there was a donate button.'

    You can include any other information you want; images, transaction records, links, etc.

    I will Put the most bizarre (true) stories here. (In no specific order)

    1.

    A couple of months ago, I was looking at ebay to look at copper bullion since I collect them as art. I saw one that said "Bitcoin". At first I thought it was a mint, or an alternative bullion currency like Lakota/AOCS. I Googled it and haven't stopped reading since.

    2. Good start, but we can do better!

    that's not good, i found out bitcoin when Im browsing the net and trying to figure out what it means, I saw this forum and have some readings and I notice that you can earn profit just by doing easy task so I tried it and the next thing I know, I have a regular job.

    A good friend of mine told me about bitcoin but I didn't pay attention until he made a huge amount of money, so I have to ask him again.
