Bitcoin Forum

Newbie here! Just wanted to say hello to all! Kicking myself hard right now that i did not invest when i first heard of btc...

I thought the same thing  :P

Welcome, we are both newbies.

Welcome.

thanks for the welcome  :D

Hello and welcome. Trust me when I say that you're not the only one.

Welcome. You really aren't the only one who regrets not investing in bitcoins sooner :P

When Bitcoin was $150 I say lets wait below $100, when bitcoin hit $200 lets wait below $150. Now I have no idea when to buy it...

Welcome! I'm new here too.

Exciting to see where China is heading today, yesterday was crazy!

Indeed the china market seemed to make a huge impact.

A few questions:

Btc-e vs mtgox, which is the better place to buy? Or are there others you would recommend at the moment?

Is litecoin a worthy investment? I have watched it double in price this week and didn't know what the majority of people on here thought of LTC.

How many people actually use faucets?

I would advice against using MtGox, too much hassle. Bitstamp, btc-e or maybe the new one kraken is what I use.

Do you have a link for kraken? Thanks in advance

Welcome everyone!  :)
litecoin is not a waste of time. People with videocards mine litecoins and sell them for BTC. It's 10x more effective this way

Unless you mean for speculation purposes. There I have no opinion

kraken.com (http://kraken.com)

?

Becomes more difficult to dig coins. Maybe it's better with the money to buy coins instead of buying hardware.

Welcome

Unless you've got access to ASIC miners, there's no real reason to try to mine bitcoin anymore.  GPUs aren't worth the hassle or the electricity anymore. 

welcome! If you don't mind me asking, when did you first hear about bitcoin?

Everyone is kicking themselves! Just like "not investing in apple shares"
haha :D Have a good time!

Probably about 4 years ago! I was in my early twenties and had not a care in the world.

In a year you will be kicking yourself for not buying at 300$

I have bought in a little bit lately. Only plan is to keep investing when I can!

I first hear about BTC from a TV show, I think it was CSI.

Well yeah, this is a relatively safe long term investment.

I'm in for the long haul

Then you're good to go.

Newbie here too. i choose the wrong time to invest... bought 3 coins for 362 each now they are going :(.

I looked at bitcoin when 1 BTC = $1.50, I wanted to buy 50 but it was so confusing trying to do it I gave up... am I kicking myself now.  :o

I looked at bitcoin when it was 1000 for a pizza  :D :(

heya, i am new here too. already knew about btc for a long time. only interested with it for about a year ago. but didnt have any resources to build a decent rig for mining :(

Hello, I'm new here as well! Looking forward to reading more about BTC and alternative coins

Should have taken some loan or something.

I heard of BTC, and bought some, I'm kicking myself for gambling them all away...  ::)

Hello everyone.

I am new to this forums too. Rather annoying not being able to post on the forum sections I am interested in.

I can not recollect what the requirements are to get promoted from "newbie", can anyone refresh my memory?

Thank you.

Don't worry soon you'll be able to get into the other sections, it's only like a requirement of 10 post or something around that.

Must resist urge to take my own life for not investing into bitcoin.

It is one post and 4 hours after your 1st post.
Im sure, you can check in newbies sticky yourselves  ;)

How much was bitcoin when you first heard of it? I heard of it when it was 60, but I didnt have money to invest! I still dont have money to invest, but I have made 1 BTC from scratch!

Hello all other newbies.

Good for you then, keep it up.

Thanks! :D

OnT: I was very close to invest when BTC was around $60, but it was too complicated I thought. Oh well, at least I still got the money...

I'm not sure how much it was going for when I first heard about it. When I finally started researching it, it was around $60. How did you make 1 BTC from scratch (if you don't mind me asking)?

Well I gamble a LOT and have made a reasonable amount. Proof here (http://screencloud.net/v/4I85 (http://screencloud.net/v/4I85)), and I design sites for others. My site (http://nahtnam.com (http://nahtnam.com)). Finally I do this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291387.0)), and have finished one month, resulting in a 0.3 profit!

Hi, just signed up to the forum today, nice to meet you all! I first heard of bitcoin a few years back but ignored it unfortunately. Now with the rising price I guess it's time to take a closer look :)
