I have a quarter of a BTC. Owning 1 whole one would be nice, but I'm using it more for purchasing stuff online rather than as an investment.

Unfortunately, I found this thread after I got scammed by him too.

What happened::
Sent payment for an invite to a private tracker. Received a reply with the message "scammed".
