There was an early exposure to it in 2013 or earlier that I don’t remember, I saw the parabolic move on TV in late 2016 and was like, What? Bitcoin is still alive? Q2 2017 started watching on a daily basis and didn’t start buying until months later from FOMO and maybe having a background that was familiar with Ron Paul, Thomas Sowell, Fold@Home, the SETI project, BitTorrent, and silver US dollars. It really did take looking at everything on a daily basis though to connect the dots.
