The first time I heard about Bitcoin was because of all those Ponzi schemes and hype on social media. People close to me had also heard about Bitcoin, but we didn't pay much attention to Bitcoin time. Later, I heard that Bitcoin can make money, so I started to study it slowly.
The first time I heard about Bitcoin was from the TV news, telling people to stay away from pyramid schemes and virtual currencies. Big gains are often scams. Later, the friends around me gradually deepened my understanding of Bitcoin. They often talk about mining, but I still couldnt understand it at first. I laughed at my friends and stopped dreaming. When did you start mining coal? It turned out to be a large computer.
The reputation of bitcoin that year was not good. A lot of news is saying that bitcoin is used in drugs and the deep web; others also say it's a scam since they are only referring to ponzi, which mostly those newbies that don't know bitcoin will agree with, but we as we know what is really bitcoin got angry and showed our opinion in social media, but bitcoin proved itself by hitting and breaking its ATH, and that is why it attracts more people about it.
