Heard about it since it was starting out. I didn't get involved for a long time, but kept watching how it is going in tech news sites etc..

Tried to get involved in helping, so I did my part in translations for the main bitcoin.org site. I didn't even have a wallet back then, I kept making new one (trying out the wallets back then) and then losing/forgetting my access to them

Until Electrum came by, that was when I made a wallet that I could stick to.
