I knew bitcoin before I knew this forum. I knew about bitcoin from my cousin who was already in the university. He came back home and told me that was a new trend that it is another form of money. He asked me to invest in it but I was too scared of it. I was still in secondary school and I haven't heard about this any where, so I was a bit skeptical about it. This was as early as 2012. I paid no interest in it. Few years later I started hearing about bitcoin from many people and on social media. That was when I recalled what my cousin told me about this bitcoin. One thing that made me not to invest that early time, was the fact that I didn't have a smart phone then. He asked me to invest it through him. But I refused that, because my cousin has this attitude of scamming the family members money. I knew about this forum in 2020, during the Covid period from a friend of mine.
