So my question is how do you get your hands on bitcoins.. this is kinda confusing to me thus far hope i am not alone in this..... I did download the bitcoin pdf and will be reading it soon.  I have some dollars to invest with and would like to know if this bitcoin is worth it... as you all know gold is way to high to buy now..

hey guys i am new here trying to learn more about the bitcoin thing going on.  Been reading alot of post and it seems kinda confusing and i cannot really grasp the concept of how it really works.  I would be most appreciative if someone could explain it from top to bottom one what it is and how it works.  I am usually a silent investor on things people want to start, usually small mom and pop shops, seems to work for me these days.  Though i am a Systems Admin for a living. 

Would trade knowledge with anyone, you explain this bit coin to me and i can help you out understaning systems and how they work in a large enterprise environment.

I guess my goal here is to learn the bit coin so i can make some coin myself.  SO how long am i a newbie again?
