There was this faucet site that used to pay money in Bitcoins and also this site which usually paid you to watch the videos, therefore I was trying to earn some money online so I would hang around these sites and then gamble my money in slots, ended up using a lot, lol, I did not know much about it then, my friend joined the forum and then he introduced me to it, it definitely too time to get used to everything and at the same time, I do remember having some probelms with transactions to other countries then I tried using bitcoins, it worked perfectly well! I even tried downloading the mining software on the computers, well it didn't work, slowly I got to know more about bitcoins and also about the campaigns, explored the services section and at the end of all of it, now am encouraging people to adopt bitcoins and make their accounts on the forum to keep track of the whole community.

When I was in high school (2011), I wanted to buy a fake ID.

This led me to the Silk Road. They only had one accepted form of payment..

I was introduced to cryptocurrencies through someone.

These questions are quite similar, so I will lump them into one answer. My first thoughts were about how complex the whole idea was and how difficult it would be to navigate, same were my thoughts as a newbie on the forum. I never had a negative notion about bitcoin and was surprisingly very receptive to the whole technology and also very interested in learning more about it.
And Yes, I always thought it was a brilliant idea.

I heard about it fairly early, around 2010. Don't really know how, but I spent a shit tone of time on the internet back then so I probably stumbled upon it. The problem is, I waited 7 years to get into it XD Well, serves me right for being cautious. By the time I got into it, it was already a big deal so it was everywhere. But I got no regrets, as far as I am concerned, I found about it in 2017 from a friend

I've never thought negatively about bitcoin, but I'm excited to be able to have more of it, and the fact that from the very beginning I got to know bitcoin in 2010 until now bitcoin has taught me a lesson in holding back until it reaches a point that is more than enough for my initial capital, and I'm very grateful to my friend who gave me a link about this forum so I can get bitcoin for free

Time flies so fast and I guess I'm getting old and have forgotten how exactly I knew bitcoin. Op, you're earlier than me when I've discovered bitcoin and that's also earlier before I'm in the forum. I guess everybody's entrance and discovery about bitcoin was because with our friend that's very curious to technologies and stuff online and that's why they've discovered and shared it to us, sort of like that the story I've got when I've been introduced to bitcoin.

Unlike you, I do remember when and exactly how I knew about Bitcoin and got involved in it. It was in late 2016 and I was doing a research for "TBC" coin and for some reason, there was more content on the forum than anywhere else - I Googled it and forum popped up as the top result. I read the content and the replies that followed. Loved the discussions and decided that this would be a good resource for crypto information and I was right about that.

I got the information about bitcoin through a friend in the year 2016 but I didn't invest much of time learning bitcoin. But, was focused on earning bitcoin.
Few years later I discovered how important it was to hold a strong knowledge about bitcoin generally. How it works, the block chain technology and how people mine the forum. 

but that's 7-8 years ago and yet you forgot? wondering How old are you now mate ,(just Joking lol)

well maybe those time you did not pay attention totally and just leave the scene for a while and then come back when you find interest ?
It was being presented by someone close to me and since this only happens 4-5 years ago , i can clearly remember all the details.

there was an Event in church that we are in break and talking about our future plans when he put Bitcoin in discussion and since then i find interest and starts learning (with His help of course)
