Current Events > When did you first become aware of Bitcoin?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember seeing it discussed on CE in 2012

Even downloaded a wallet but had no money to buy any and my laptop wasn't good enough to mine much of any coins so I gave up.

Forgot about it til like 2017 and was like "it's too late" then it just kept growing <_<

---

Not sure. I dont even know when my husband bought our 2 bitcoins.
---

Voted 2011 since I thought that was when the pizza story happened but it actually was 2010.

---

Through topics here on CE years ago. Of course never gave it much thought.

---

It was either a Cracked video or article and it talked about Bitcoin, I don't remember exactly when but it was well before they were worth anything.

---

I had heard of it before the end of 2010 - I know that based on remembering where I lived when I first heard of it. But I couldn't say exactly when.

---

Had a few from early days and cashed out for like 200 bucks to buy a takeaway years ago. Meh.

---

I remember seeing ads on reddit for it years ago but I don't remember the year. the ads had a funny wizard that i liked, so i liked seeing the ad, but i never clicked on it to learn more

---

Ah hindsight. What a bitch it is.

---

I couldn't put a year to it, but it was while it was still worth absolutely nothing and I laughed at the idea.

Several years back. My friend's adult son was the first person I heard talk about it.
---

Don't remember the year, but there was a bot on Reddit that would let people gift bitcoins to each other like Reddit gold.

2011-2012

i wish i'd known austrolibertarians who could have explained its economic significance to me back then
