Prior to 2018, I knew nothing about bitcoin or cryptocurrency asides the idea that it could be mined, and also never much attention to it. I got introduced to bitcoin and bitcointalk by an acquaintance/friend, just after the fall of the bull run (hard luck). I had a few stints in a couple of other cryptocurrency websites before settling on BT.
It's been a journey since then and I've introduced a couple of people personally to this forum myself.
