Quote "Oh, Bitcoin is a real thing?" after hearing about it on the radio.
So true -- my wife started paying more attention when it was getting more press. The "great voice of a third party" always seems to win

I knew about bitcoin but never bought one until recently. Most people probably know about it but don't realize buying it is a good investment. They think it will fall in value or will go away if they don't buy in.
I found out early 2013 -- I have been kicking myself every since because I had a decent amount of Gaming rigs rotting in the basement until i discovered they were worth something

Great question!
My wife rolled her eyes when I said I wanted to buy some bitcoin. I managed to convince her that I'd read a lot about it and thought it could be a good idea. Anyway, I'm a bit of nerd and liked the idea of getting on board early.
That was back in October, just after the Silk Road bust that caused (yet another) price crash. Within three weeks of buying, the price of bitcoin had gone up four fold.
Needless to say, my wife doesn't think I'm crazy any more.

Great time to get in and a great time to prove a point/ be vindicated
