Oh! that was fun, to try mining for newbie's , we never knew that it was pretty much useless from GPU's but still fun Cheesy
Hi guys. Bitcoin first caught my attention maybe around mid 2014. Most of my life I never had the slightest idea of how digital everything would be. Now that the world populations rely on computer systems. It is the best time for a  pure digital currency to replace the dollar. So when I heard of bitcoin  it made perfect sense no doubt. How ever it is critical we establish the system correctly.

You have got a little too much expectation of it , i know many of us expect bitcoin to replace fiat but that harsh truth is that is not happening even if bitcoin goes mainstream but still it can become a global currency
I read about bitcoin in the Wall Street Journal after the first big rise to 31 USD and the subsiquent fall.  However, I didn't get into it until much later.  It is such an interesting concept and offers some real advantages in international transfers and avoiding chargebacks.

No doubt about that Wink
Heard about Silk Road back in 2012 and thought Bitcoin was interesting, but never pursued or dived in just yet.

In 2013, is when I dove head first, and got into mining, buying, reading and researching, etc.

Now, I'm all in.
That is very similar story to mine. In my case it was Mt. Gox that first brought me to bitcoin in 2013. Luckily for me, I wanted to first read and do some of my own research on the subject, so I miss both the rally from the end of 2013 and Mt. Gox hoax. Since then, I am pretty much in, with all ups and downs included.

It have been a fun ride with those up and downs Cheesy
