If I recall correctly, I reached the forum at the time when searching for information on Bitcoin. I probably performed a Google search for "Bitcoin forum" and made it here through one of the results that popped-up.
What was the reference driver (source, not motive) that drove you to Bitcointalk?
I have the same experience as most of the users here.
I find out Bitcointalk with the help of my friend which is using Bitcointalk already for almost a year at the time he introduces it to me. When I first time to hear this site I didn't think twice but I registered here immediately as he stated that I can learn something regarding money here. He didn't share that this is new kind of money. I asked some basics of how to learn here etc. and after few months, I have learned the basics of cryptocurrency and as of this moment, my knowledge is still increasing but I don't want to learn the complex side of Bitcoin

. I'm enough with the basics already.
