Heard about Bitcoin in 2016 and later bought the idea in 2017, then it seems to me like it was a ponzi scheme, later Bought my first Bitcoin late 2017 and sold out all due to fear that Bitcoin was gonna crash like other business that was making headline news then in my Country, Therefore I viewed Bitcoin in that way and what a regret, if I had actually kept my until now without selling it all, however I can't blame myself because there was no proper information given to me then about Bitcoin like the information I have now.

First time I know with Bitcoin become currency for deposit on some hype website and available used with Bitcoin only without accepted other currency for investing. Seems not any interested from Bitcoin because first time I know Bitcoin is not investment assets, day by day after I know with Bitcoin have chance with price increasing to earn much profit with Bitcoin investment. Get me chance forget with many kinds hype project and focus for investing in Bitcoin then spent much money for earning with hype without guarantee how long keep profitable and get capital back.

I know with Bitcoin almost lately and could be different my financial if early I know with Bitcoin, hope keep go ahead and have many planning with Bitcoin for investment assets at the future.

First time I heard about Bitcoin was back in 2013-2014. I was 16-17 years old.
I heard some of my class companions talking about Bitcoin and about mining, also about how one could mine Bitcoins to earn some money just letting one's computer on all the time, etc.

I did not give it much importance because back then I was very young and mostly into school and other teenager things.
I continued  hearing about Bitcoin as years passed until I decided to overcome my fear to volatility, get more informed and buy Bitcoin as a tool to manage my personal finances and as investment in the long term.

I believe it was in 2013, during a bull run. I remember thinking, "Man, it's already too late to invest in it." Boy was I wrong! 

Agree with you. Even if they join now, it's not too late because they can still buy and keep bitcoins today.
The year 2011 was the early years of the development of bitcoin or crypto, where not many people knew or heard of it, so for those who joined after this year, it felt a bit late to join.
But it's never too late to join bitcoin because we can join whenever we want.
I don't remember exactly when I joined or started using bitcoin but I think it was before 2014 but I'm not looking for more information about bitcoin.

It was also back in 2017 when I first head about cryptocurrencies (BTC to be specific) and I was baffled about it. As someone who had no experience or anything whatsoever, the thought of having a decentralized currency was truly astonishing! Especially when my friend introduced me to this forum, it opened a plethora of opportunities to invest and to discover about the existence of BTC.

Now that it has been 5+ years now, I can truly say that BTC is something that is something innovative that everyone should know. I just hope that government prohibitions would allow its further implementation in order to take advantage of its uses.

The first time I heard about bitcoin was thanks to a crypto project of an altcoin that later went to the ground, I did not know anything about bitcoin, in the project I was so maxilaistic that they said that currency was going to be bigger than Bitcoin, and as in that time and I did not know anything because I was ignorant I believed them, but when that currency fell and I do not know if it is currently a scam currency, I began to read about bitcoin and it was when I realized that this is the currency that It is the basis for all, there are still people in the world who do not know the whole truth about Bitcoin and that is the people who should know everything, that is why you have to talk and educate many people as much as possible about bitcoin, there are people who should wake up.

All of those days, the thing in our mind is on how to spend up those coins and make out direct conversions whenever we do earn or get those coins and without even minding about holding.
If i do remember and count all of those coins that i do have then i might be that millionaire as of this moment but well it is really just a pain on remembering those things that you had missed out in the past.
Hearing new things will really be making those mistakes which is really that very common.If i had really just accumulate Bitcoin and other altcoins which are top altcoins now then
i might have a different financial status as of this point.Hearing things on first time will really mind boggled you if on what it is but for those who do see up some potential are the
ones who had been rewarded.

Not really. Just like the OP, some of them heard it on the news and that can be in the national television and on the radio. There's also news paper but most who know bitcoin are internet people. Like you I was also looking for a sideline online and I keep on searching for more ways on how to maximize my earnings.

One day I stumbled upon bitcoin on some sites and that is the start of my crypto journey. They are life changing because many opportunities have been unlocked later on which are related to them. Their pay rates are quite decent when compare to the gigs that we do previously. You are a scholar but btc do also teach you an extra lesson which aren't being taught in any university. That's cool.
