Title: 1 Bitcoin every 6 days

Just think.  Last year around this time, I had 8 video cards churning out 1 Bitcoin every 6 days...

Thems were the days.

If only they were worth 600 USD per BTC then.

A $400/month electric bill...  who cares.

A Bitcoin every 6 days back last March would still have not been too bad.  

It would have given you about $60 a Bitcoin or $10 a day.  

Its interesting that in April 2013 Bitcoins hit $266 USD for a very short period.  The good old days!    

The big question is - did you keep those Bitcoins?

I kept a few. Bought some ASICMiner with a few.
I've been accumulating as much as I can.

I only sold 1.5 Bitcoins off when it got over $1200.
I bought 12 more when they were below $500.

So, yes - I have them in one form or another.

My god when I bought 12 at $430 on Coinbase after the Gox fiasco I thought for sure they were going to cancel my order.  To see it go through felt so nice.  I was like "I just did a service to Bitcoin, and the Crypto-Gods rewarded me!" hhahah.

Its crazy how fast things change in the bitcoin world.

I remember seeing difficulty jump 1 million on one difficulty change and I thought that was crazy. LOL

Why would coinbase cancel the order?

The only time I've heard of coinbase canceling someones order, it was because they bought near the top of the $1200 bubble/spike, and their coins were stuck clearing for a few days while the price tanked. Which was actually an awesome thing to do!
