 Because most of us didn't know about it as well... So, you are lucky man if several months later we will have over $100 per BTC...

I firmly believe that anyone starting on bitcoin right now will still be considered an early adopter, and you can/will be heavily rewarded if you're looking at making this a long-term (>1 year) investment.

It's pretty funny because a buddy of mine mined like 1000 coins on just his cpu. Then he pretty much lost interest and forgot about it completely. He just learned two days ago what the current price is.

And that's why I just built a mining rig, I'm will to wait for it to be worth it.  So many people are only looking short term at bitcoin.

I am mad i missed the security now podcast on it a few months ago. I used to listen to that podcast religiously and recently work and other things kept me distracted from my normal podcast listening.

But hindsight is also better than 20/20 would you have actually adopted bitcoins at a dollar? at ten cents?

Look at namecoins, they are still pretty low costs.. have you jumped on namecoin? why not?

Because it hasn't peaked at $32 and then dropped back to $11 yet.

I wonder how many bitcoins the founders/early members set aside for themselves because bitcoins were essentially free back then. When you are the only node in the network you control the difficulty.

I'm guessing alot if I understood this correctly
http://blockexplorer.com/ Largest transactions : Amount column : 33000 ++ transactions.

People are transferring 33000++ btc whilst I'm transferring pathetic 1-2 from pools. lol ...

consider your situation before investing and how long for ROI and power costs to be covered.
also look carefully at the available pools and find the one that suits you best :) hope bitcoin is good to you all :D

seems like miners and speculators are selling scared right now.  if you wait a few more days it might drop  even more.  enough to buy really low - cheaper than mining.. .  some consider the price low even at $13.

Oh wow, we fell below the $13 mark. How low we go now, nobody knows.

We need a congress critter to come back out and start making bullshit, fear-mongering statements to send the price back up to $25  ;D

Look at the facts: lots of people mining and hoarding, but hardly anybody spending or willing to hand over $ for BTC. That's a recipe for a sharp decline.
