Spring of 2013. I bought two BTC for $80 each. Coinbase fucked up the buy order and after some back and forth with customer service, they gave me .2 BTC in apology which at the time was worth 16 bucks and is now worth about 4,800 bucks.

I played this game called Bitcoin billionaire when it came out in 2014, I thought it was silly joke internet money. Perhaps it could be used for regular interchange in the far future… anyways I thought nothing speculative of Bitcoin and grinded this game completing it multiple times (it’s a tycoon the rewards multipliers for resetting) I just think of the time spent into this that I could’ve been buying Bitcoin. It hurts everyday bros.

I first heard about Bitcoin in 2009 on /b/ and various political forums I was a part of. I never bought. I thought it was cool idea, but I figured I would just buy bitcoin whenever I needed to make a purchase using it. Never occurred to me that it's value would go up over time until the Mt. Gox thing in 2013 when it hit $1000

What's worse is that I did drugs back then it's just I had no reason to use darkweb. If I had done so, I probably would've had a few btc laying around, but who knows maybe I'd have lost them earlier.

Never bought until the hype in late 2017

Way back in 2015, my dad got one of those paki emails that told you to invest in bitcoin trough some third party broker that would "save" you if you the price ever flopped. He's regretted not putting at least some 1k in btc since then but didn't want to invest because he's a chicken. I've already made my first 7 figs investing since 2018, first with doge, then with d0b0 (got out early, thankfully) and now with qom bc ryoshi is supposedly in it, so yeah, full on memecoins, that's the real unicorn people are always searching

around 2013.

played games in a Ventrilo with some older guys who were buying bitcoin when it was a few hundred dollars.

though i was young with zero income, they appealed that i find a way to buy some bitcoins, but i was convinced by another in the group who said SCAM SCAM SCAM

for some perspective, the guys who had money in bitcoin ended up selling it on the way up until 4 digits. I spoke to some of them recently and they are more at a loss than i am

you would literally need a crystal ball. only dumb luck and an extremely specific sequence of events could lead to someone safely keeping + getting rich off early bitcoins. the chance of you losing everything in some hacked exchange, lost wallet/keys, or even some kind of hardware failure over the span 8 years? no shit none of us got rich

Don't know the exact year but a IT news magazine my brother was subscribed to had one article every issue on it. The lowest price I remember was like 12$. That said all the early stuff written about it in articles sucked ass since it was mostly computer nerds sperging about the technology and the possible implications were never elaborated on. You can't get value of bitcoin if you have no clue just how broken the current monetary system is.

Probably 2010. I was 13/14 years old. I remember people shutting themselves when it went to $1. Nobody ever thought something like that could ever happen. Thinking about it peaking at $60k+ is fucking nonsense lmao. My friend had 13 or so in a wallet and they were worth $2.5k each at the time. He went to fucking PRISON for almost killing a girl. It went up to $60k while hes rotting in there are doesnt get out for another 5 years. Life.
