i started using bitcoin in 2014 about a year ago. it is around the same date i registered here.

but i have heard about bitcoin much longer before that. maybe around 2-3 years, around the time when everybody was doing solo mining and bitcoin price was skyrocketing through the roof.

the reason that i started using bitcoin was mostly because i liked the technology and idea behind it and also i find trading a great way to earn some extra money.

Bitcoin is 7 years old now and we started one year back we were very late go get into bitcoins. Just imagine if we would have invested at the time of its inception today it would be different stories for us.

yeah. imagine that back then (2010) there was a faucet that gave out 5 free bitcoins to people.

i found this old thread a while back, the giveaway was held by Gavin Andresen and here is the link to a part of bitcoin history

I read it and found how Gavin kindly did giveaway 5 btc per users, and some of the users sent back to him, because the price bitcoin was not high and the users just wanted to check if the giveaway was working or not. That's the moment when the founders and developers tried to develop the bitcoin to people, and get good results now. I'm curious what will be happened to bitcoin in future.
