From my comment on Stacker news to the common question of when and how did you find Bitcoin?

--

You know how they say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink?

Well when exactly I found or heard about Bitcoin was less important than the deep curiosity that I've always had. When I found it, I went down the rabbit hole with eyes wide. It only took a few days to see that it was interesting but only after months and years has it proven to be resilient against many of the proposed threats I had read about. The key was to withhold judgement and let my curiosity guide me to understand and verify as much as I could. Bitcoin holds up well to this approach.
