definitely no gambling, too easy to lose.  Perhaps more conservative routes like faucets, simply purchasing, holding, or investing.

Same for me.  It took me awhile to branch out but I did and am glad I have multiple wallets.

Congratulations.  I have had no issues with Coinbase and i felt comfortable making my first purchase through them.

I try to tread lightly with friends and family because it is so volatile.  I share with them that I am very enthusiastic about it and then tell them to do as much research as possible.  I was telling them back in the 200's btw 

Bitcoin is about a new transfer of wealth after eons of money being in the hands of only a few.  I don't see Bitcoin being affected by hoarders considering how far only one coin can be broken down. The vision was genius.

Most credit and debit cards are not without built in fees.  A 3 cent fee for Bitcoin does not seem like much.

Exactly, this is what is great about Bitcoin as a technology.  Everything was built in and planned.  What a great mind to forsee all of this.

this will totally happen!

Not sure which is most popular in the world but I prefer Coinbase and Xapo.  Coinbase seems very secure and they have good customer service when needed.  I also like their vault with the 48 hour waiting period and double confirmations to pull from vault.  Xapo is good for faucets and microtransactions - although customer support at Coinbase said there is no charge to receive micro-transactions.  I have used both wallets for awhile now and have had no issues.

I agree, it is a great way to get started with bitcoin - no only collecting but learning about bitcoin.  It forces your to understand the numbers and how it is an amazing technology.

I only the know the last character.

With Bitcoin surviving so many bumps in the road and maintaining a price in the 300's I agree that 2016 will be a great year.

Congratulations!  Feels good doesn't it.

Seems like good press.
