Someone told you and you were impulsive?

While drinking the coffee that wakes me up every day, I was thinking that many of us stackers came to Bitcoin in different ways, and I think if each of us named our own, we'd have a long post to write about.
But the question is...
Did you buy Bitcoin first and then find out what it is?
Or had you already done your research and had a real understanding of what the asset is, its benefits and consequences, and how the "Orange Pill" will change your life?

For me it was the opposite, took 2 years after first research to buy bitcoin. In my countries (class 2014) they weren't any liquidity those days and the only way to purchase is through Mt Gox (eww) and my bank account which they denied me a usd account, so I found then LocalBitcoins (RIP)1 which I used to purchase over there on average 20-50 USD to research most of the time.
I learned all the basics, so I put it on test and...it worked. It was like magic.

Footnotes

  1. I bought my first 0,3 BTC from a guy of Morocco. It was the only p2p who accept my request to buy at +5% and we made friends. Never asked him about his true ID but one day, he texted me at Telegram saying something like I'm done with p2p, I made more money than I could make here, thank you for buy with me. That's for another post ↩

Thanks for sharing your experience!
The person who pushed my brother and me down the rabbit hole taught us with several examples why we shouldn't keep banknotes (Fiat) and instead hoard real assets like BTC. Today, he continues to share his knowledge with us, and although I haven't accumulated as much as I would like, At least I have a few Sats, but I understand absolutely everything!

Probably most people started the same, first I bought, without knowing that it was, hoping to sell more expensive and oppose extra dollars. And then it was that I ended up informing myself (I still inform myself) about the fact that it was "the Bitcoin"
