Bitcointalk I learnt is one of the biggest Bitcoin forums (if not the biggest), but I wonder how many of us already knew about Bitcoin before joining here?
Did you first hear about Bitcoin elsewhere (maybe from a friend, social media, or the news), or was Bitcointalk your first real introduction to bitcoin?
For me, I already heard about bitcoin some years ago from my boyfriend. I made a little research on it to be sure my bf is not into what we call yahoo. After knowing about bitcoin, I was hoping and praying he introduced me to it one day.  I was so happy the day he did and I think I am loving bitcoin more than him now.
I’d love to hear your own story!

I had heard about Bitcoin since its mining started in 2009, i was still in JSS 1 then. I didn't have a phone at the time, and I didn't care how Bitcoin was traded because many people thought it might be a scam, since Bitcoin was first cryptocurrency created at the time. So I also grew up with that mindset, and when I saw that its price kept rising, I thought I was late to start accumulating mine because I was thinking that if you want to buy it, you have to buy at least 1 BTC. I didn't know that we could buy even the smallest portion of it nor have Idea of a DCA strategy because I had no one to properly guide me until I joined this forum.
