I've known bitcoin since I discovered the deep web in early 2012, but I never gave much thought about it because back then I perceived bitcoin as an underground currency. In May, I received a bitcoin tip of 3 dollars as a donation to help out protesters in the Gezi Park protests. I have been following and learning about bitcoin, free markets and crypto-anarchy ever since. I joined the forums to further educate myself and profit from taking part in  the rather early stages of what I believe to be the money of the future.
