Title: Hello forum members. Introducing me. Post by: steveblank on December 13, 2013, 10:15:15 AM Hello,
I first heard of bitcoin on Steve Gibson's Security now podcast. He announced the price had just reached the one dollar milestone. Being interested, I decided to get some to play with. I invested about 150 quid *UK pounds*. Hard times befell me and I was reduced to chaming unemployment benifit last year. Being an honest chap, I told the department for work and pentions when my bitcoin value had exceeded the maximum allowable holdings for claiming benifit and they cut me off. That was three months ago. I have been trying to turn my bitcoins into cash for living expenses ever since. This is not as bad as it seems, they would have cut me off anyway. I refused to adopt the required submissive behaviour. Well, here I am, both rich and poor at the same time, down to my last 15 quid in the world. Hurry on a sundown. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

So I'm guessing you have about 150 Bitcoins in your holdings right now. IMO that's enough to retire 2-3 years from now ;D Title: Re: Hello forum members. Introducing me. Post by: ROBERTO on December 14, 2013, 09:04:58 PM I am new too welcome to the forum!

Hoping they wont take longer than the THREE WEEKS it has taken so far. Steve |
