If im not mistaken I already heard about Bitcoin year 2013 but didnt pay much attention to it because its not on my interest yet and thinking its just another thing online that will just passed.

Fast forward to 2015, that year im active participating on Fb investment (yes, those too good to be true offer) but got scammed many times. One of this investment I joined in required to have a Bitcoin wallet. Thats how we will going to send our pay in and receive the payout as well. Unfortunately it is also a scam investment, thats the time I became curious about bitcoin due to price fluctuation, one of my friend (a trader) teach me about Bitcoin and trading.

Looking back on the past im grateful that I had a chance to know Bitcoin. I cant count my earnings already after engaging myself on crypto thats how I get back what I lost on my past investments.

Actually i have watch about this in News , and i did not trust from the beginning because according to the news this is a scam and not to be invested or buy.

Then A cousin of mine comes from outside the country and having this coin and other altcoins Because he was trader

then when we have convo , he explains everything to me and all comes enlightenment .

so till the time comes he had encouraged me and first created account here in Bitcointalk before even buying my first coin.

actually i discovered Bitcoin because of Bad reputation .


There was a group in facebook that i am with back in 2016 , we constantly sharing important information about things that might bring profits to each of us.

Then one member shared His bad experience about crypto(specifically Bitcoin) that he was a victim of a scam pyramiding until other members vouch with the same bad experience .

Then i ask about how this come and when it happens and after their explanation , i realized that this is not about the bitcoin but because of their greedy attitude.

this time i start surfing and look for where can i find more info and knowledge about this thing and until i found this forum , from there i start reading for months  before creating my Own account and start engaging in conversation in which i will benefit knowledge , so from there i start being part of the bounties and try investing small amount with my income from my participations in different sections here.

I remember exactly how I first discover bitcoin, it was on our Local Forum where people talk about earning on the internet online. If you guys remember Hash-Ocean, one of the known scam cloud mining sites but have been operating for 2 or more years before they decided to disappear without a trace. I was thinking to invest but without getting anything out of my pocket so I decided to join multiple faucets back then and I was just about to invest, the site was closed at the same time, they ran away with the funds of the investors. There are lots of faucets back then, you can actually make money from out of nothing if you know what you are doing.

For me, back in 2017. Before the bull run started I was already introduced to Bitcoin, and it was also because of Facebook and internet friends also. Doing some airdrops before and participated on some activities with shitcoins but before that, I first used Bitcoin to do some tasks online and was paid with Bitcoin.

I'm really glad that I have known Bitcoin before, lot of things changed especially how I value freedom and privacy.

You will laugh, but the first time I've heard about bitcoin was a monologue from a taxi driver. It was another story of success. Once upon a time the driver was very rich and was mining bitcoin, when the price went down, he made a decision to sell his mining rigs and start to tax.

I got to know about Bitcoin around early 2014.. How I got to know about it was when I went to an office, and I saw two people who were discussing about mining cryptocurrency, I was kind of interested in what they were talking about and then I joined the conversation and got to learn about Bitcoin and how the price can increase after you have mined it and all that.

Although they told me that mining Bitcoin wasn’t easy then, and that it requires a lot of energy, so I didn’t go into mining Bitcoin, rather I decided to buy it and I bought it from one of those people right there, and then I installed one of the wallets that they recommended to me back then which was Xapo.com (but the wallet is no longer available in my country, after they transitioned to becoming a bank), and that’s how I started storing the Bitcoin and also as time goes on I noticed that their value was increasing. At first I didn’t invest much in it, I just started with $250, which was also the price of Bitcoin around then.

I discovered bitcoin, and I do not know what it is all about. I just searched for how I can have bitcoin. I do not have to think negatively about a new thing but I searched for more info and dug deeper about bitcoin. Fortunately, I met a faucet that helped me to have many satoshis so I can use that to deposit in Hashnest, Genesis Mining, Eobot. That is because I am curious about mining.

That was an old story about gaining the first satoshis for free and using it for trading at cex.io, bter, btc38, and else. I wish the journey would continue until I die and my kids can continue my legacy.

IT is really interesting to share this memory .I could not really say the fixed date but i think the year was 2014 and i did noticed a referral system btc earning way from youtube though it was scam but i was lucky to find the way to know about btc and crypto.I was really excited to to find a currency which is really amazing and have  a real future .I was starting to know more about bitcoin and crypto after that i have found the way doing trading and started to trade and hold btc .Unfortunately i have sold most of my asset before it getting the ATH of this year .I don't think about more i just feel so lucky myself that i got this huge platform .That's the way that how i have discoverd btc and coming here as well .

I first discovered Bitcoin back in 2013. Thought the idea of a digital currency was cool but never really got around to looking into it. 2016/2017 rolls around and this time, I decided to get involved. Without having done much research, I opened a Binance account and purchased about $100 of Bitcoin when it was valued at around $7,000. Once Bitcoin rose to about 18k I sold what I had (big regret) and moved on from crypto. 2020 comes around and finally, I decided to fully commit. Before reinvesting, I studied for about 2 or 3 months to make sure I had a good understanding of what the problem is, and why Bitcoin is the solution. I started following some subreddits for a while and this year, joined this forum.
Finally, I have found a community that I feel very much a part of. I continue to stack sats when possible, I have no plans on selling my Bitcoin since I finally see the potential. Yes I jumped in pretty late, yes I feel regret all the time for not keeping even the little that I had then.

But in all fairness, there was a lesson to be learned here. I'm in it for many different reasons now, most of those reasons are about being able to give back to those who are in need of assistance, share what I've learned with others, and encourage them to also get involved in Bitcoin. There are much better reasons to get involved with Bitcoin than this of course, it provides financial opportunities to those who would have otherwise been trapped.
