anyways, my point is, everyone thinks bitcoin is a scam the first time they hear about it. it isn't until you really spend some time to look into it that you realize what it really is...

I think my first response was awe and curiosity, not suspicion. And I don't know how it was for others, but that first week was like I just got unhooked from the Matrix.

Well my first "looking into" bitcoin was during the November 2013 price bubble.  In Fall 2013, I had been looking into various investments because I had a bit of extra cash, and I had put bitcoin on the list of things to "look into later," and I recall in about October 2013, I had placed a portion of my available money into mutual funds (kind of index funds), and then someone had mentioned how "greatly" BTC prices had been rising in the past year, and he had made so much money.  Therefore, I started reading, and I was immediately regretting that I had not looked into it earlier.

Accordingly, I created a 6 month plan to stagger my investments while I looked into the matter more - and I ended up registering my BTC talk account several months later and when the first six months investment ended, I extended and seems that I was hooked, and perhaps, the rest is history, as they say.
