I would like to hear peoples stories about how they first heard about Bitcoin ?
I read about it in Wired Magazine in early 2013. I was familiar with gold farming in WOW so it didnt seem too outlandish. It took a second mention in the media in November 2013 for me to pay attention and find this forum on google.
I actually 1st heard about
BTC when price was around $5. I think it was that StumbleUpon app that landed me at the Bitcoin web page
(I stumbled all over the farm back then)
I seem to recall that I was kind of intrigued and my thought at the time was "huh, what the hell... I'll invest 50 bux and buy 10 of these things."
So then I started browsing around on the bitcoin website trying to figure out how the hell you buy em . I gave up after awhile thinking
"ahhhh fuckit! Not worth the hassle and anyway it's probably just another internet scam...."
Yeah right...look how that worked out...
I ended up buying like $100 worth at the end of 2013 (I figured it out by then) I think @ $600/
BTC or so, right before the pump to $1300. That basically got me hooked into
BTC and mining and crypto in general.
