Yep, Im new to the Bitcoin Forums so I making my first newbie post.

Thanks!
I actually made a post here as well: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15672.msg1548472#msg1548472

But basically, I am late to the bitcoin game and kicking myself for it. But what I have seen happen over the last month or so is amazing and inspiring.

Actually you are still quite early.  You may be late to yesterday but your early to tomorrow.  This is not going away.  Consider this, when BTC are $1,000 you'll be able to say I was early.

Excellent point! I have started investing, and am moving my online shop more and more towards btc only.
I will never use PayPal again, Google Checkout / Wallet is getting on my last nerve, and a lot of my customers are global so that excludes services like Dwolla.

Cool! yeah i jumped in when BTC was at 5$ and have been a personal trader since! just reopened by side business. IF you are looking to profit my most profitable days were splitting my BTC in half, Keeping one half safe and not touching it for a year and selling at a high price through my own website to get around the low buying prices MT Gox and other exchanges have. With the other half i ran an exchange service, that way no matter which way the market went i could profit. I also of course start with a pool of 1-2 BTC for gambling and just play with it, if i run out, too bad! but if i profit gambling i play more with my winnings c:

In a few years, your grand kids will be asking you; Grampa, is it true that you had a whole bitcoin to yourself when you where young?

Sounds like you play the "I Win!" game.
I actually wouldnt mind setting up a local exchange, but I live in a very rural and computer illiterate area. So it would take a lot of effort just converting potential customers. Plus, I want to ensure I have a steady and reliable stream of btc before I would go on that adventure.



I hope so! Bitcoin certainly has the potential to do that.

Make the good word spread :) But never take too arrogant attitude because it'll start negative reaction in the other party.
