When was the first time you heard about BTC?

I’m curious on when people were first exposed to BTC? I vividly remember I was a sophomore in college in October 2017 and the price was probably $5-6k and I got paired with some random kid for a group project and he was trying to explain it to me. He showed me that he had about 3 coins. Obviously didn’t understand. But here I am 7 years later, stacking. Haha

I wonder where that kid is now????
