I heard about it in 2011 but sadly didn't buy in until late 2014. I feel like you get more credit for the time you bought in. I tried to buy in during 2013 when it was a mere $10, but verifying with Mt. Gox was too much hassle. That may have been a blessing in the end.

Duly noted. I have adjusted the tags accordingly. Thanks for sharing. So bitcoin was not easy to buy in 2013?
It was very difficult to buy Bitcoin in the early years, even 2013. We have made enormous progress in that regard.
Absolutely! One is spoilt for choice these days. : )
