Title: New to the forum
Post by: btcorbust on December 22, 2013, 05:41:56 AM
Hi all, I have lurked for a little while and found this forum to be a great knowledge base and resource reference on everything bitcoin.

I first heard about bitcoin when it was about $7. I experimented a little with mining while watching  it hit the mid teens before coming back down a little too quickly for my liking. The volatility and newness of it made me wary so unfortunately i left it, eventually totally forgetting about it.

It wasn't until it raced past $300 that I heard about it again and decided to take a closer look at this thing called bitcoin. What I found inspired me. This was something of great intrinsic worth. I just wish I had realised this much sooner!

Anyway, i'm now in and keen to learn more. The volatility and general behaviour of the market is fascinating and lends itself to significant investment opportunities. Having an IT background, in particularly interested in automated  and associated algorithms.

I've rambled long enough...  :)

I have a similar story. I've just started and I have successfully mined about 0.19 to date. Working on getting some new hardware to mine some more. Welcome and good luck.

btcorbust nice to hear you are interested in bitcoin and wow bitcoin is known to you since it was for$7 but really feel sad you didn’t invested at that time like you could have got too rich by now. Well it’s not late I guess because it seem bitcoin has enough potential to multiply our wealth yet. So go for bitcoins now it’s full of opportunities

I believe it's still early days for bitcoin and am very bullish for the medium to long term. There's no point worrying about what might have been.
