Now, two questions for you.
Knowing Bitcoin and Bitcointalk has been a good experience for me, and if you ask questions about the two as you contemplated, you are still fine with them. They are such lovely experiences that people can recount over and over again. - How did you know about Bitcoin? From good news or from bad news?
- How did you know about Bitcointalk?
- Previously, I thought of a discussion about the first question but later I thought about the second question and it's possible to combine them in one topic. Then I decided to make this thread in Meta than in Bitcoin Discussion board.
First, I have been in the world of investment and trading for about 2 decades, so to know Bitcoin was very easy. I don't think it would be more than 3 years of introducing it that I know about it but I never gave it a thought to buy and keep it. However, it got to a point where I was regularly using it for payments and even trading it on the regular brokers, but never owned my coin until I joined BTCt.
As for the Bitcointalk itself, my brother introduced it to me. He did that almost about 4 years ago but I never gave it much thought. I just viewed its review on YouTube, and then, when I was searching about it, I only saw just two posts there. The one with a somewhat detailed review was just saying how people were sentimental here, which made me abandon the forum for about 2 years. This happened until my brother encouraged me to open it again, which I eventually did last year.
