First heard about it from WikiLeaks when they started accepting it, then heard about it from Max Keiser when he started talking about it, I watched his show cause I was into silver at the time. Also, my friend was buying E online with it.
I didn't buy any, thought it would be shut down. When it was still around in 2017, and going back up, I got into it then. If I could send myself in the past any message, it would be to buy Bitcoin earlier.
