When and how did you first hear about Bitcoin?

I was back in Melbourne in 2017 visiting the family, and I caught up with a friend for a coffee. 

He knew I was interested in finance, and he tells me: 

"Dude, there's this really interesting asset called Bitcoin".

He went on a little further, and I literally laughed him off, and said it's clearly a pure scam. I thought he was an idiot being conned. 

Well, we know who the idiot was!
