What was the timespan between you reading the WP and buying…

I had a head start as I'm heavily involved with communication and information transmission on large scale networks with a broad education in networking mathematics and information technology and everything revolving around it in general.

I noticed pretty quickly that something was off. this is when I started my journey into wonderland and I haven't returned ever since. i had this aha moment when I finished school and noticed that time is really just money.

most things we had to learn turned out to be useless but many of the technical things influence my thinking to this day in a good way and others probably without me knowing.

I learned a lot even from the less smart people in this space but I believe I have outgrown them rather quickly.

I wouldn't change a thing.
the only part that was largely missing for me to get BitCoin was the economics. but common sense proofs helpful

i was still in school when I first read the WP
not sure about the equivalent of my education in other countries but lower level bachelor should be close but im not the brightest person compared to many ppl I met ther and still have good connections

I was mining before there was a price....sold out at around 4$ and never even kept any of the really old accounts... after all it was worthless at the time.

It was sometime in 2011 when I first learned about Bitcoin. Finally bought BTC/LTC in early November 2017 after watching the markets really closely since January. After moving some BTC around, the fees were off-putting, so I delved into researching forks.
