When did you first learn about Bitcoin and when did you first buy it?


Hello! As you know, bitcoin and crypto industry becomes more and more popular across the world. Many of new people enter the market and try to become part of it. I think it might be an interesting idea to share your story about how you found out that Bitcoin exists and it worth buying it. Everyone's story is unique, some people became part of Bitcoin movement since it was created, some joined it later. So I offer to join me and tell us your case.

My answer: I first time heard about bitcoin in December 2018 before New Year, when I was hanging out with a guy, who was a programmer. He helped me with solving some PC issues that I had and by the way told me about BTC and what it is. Firstly, I thought that Bitcoin is new HYIP but probably with better economics, however after I have read a few articles about it and tried Bitcoin on my own, I understood that it can be really revolutionary thing. After a few weeks I have put some of my savings in Bitcoin and straight after that I saw that exchanges also have other coins. On the spare change I bought some XRP tokens, which with bitcoin I have sent to my wallet. When I saw that my investments made a profit, I started doing more researches about crypto, blockchain, bitcoin and trading. Then I invested more in crypto and created a habit - putting some money in it each month. In 2023 I am still a crypto guy, who enjoys holding bitcoin and trading it. In 2022 I started my new startup, which is related to crypto industry (useful tool for managing portfolio, tracking investments and their productivity, but I will tell more about it later, right now my team and I continue work). SO, good time for a conclusion. First time I heard about Bitcoin in 2018, first time bought it in 2019. Crypto gave me a huge motivation to start reading more about finance, economics, investments and pushed me to the opening of my new startup. Hopefully, this story will continue and will have a good final!

Looking forward to your stories, dear crypto friends!
