Not sure what in that came across as 'get rich quick', but if I can take my family out to dinner off my cumulative earnings, I'll consider it a win. And I base my second point off the fact that Bitcoin was first; history shows that the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Bitcoin is where all the mistakes will be made and the lessons will be learned, and something will come along after and profit from that knowledge. Again, it's just my impression. 

I'm in the same boat as Khoder; I read the story about the guy who's $27 investment grew to almost a million dollars and decided to investigate more. My gut is telling me that Bitcoin will likely crash (or be forced to crash) at some point, and whatever comes after will probably have more long-term success, but I feel like there's still time to dabble and potentially walk away ahead. This forum was recommended multiple times, so I couldn't not at least pop in and say hi!
