I'm new to btc this year and have been consumed by it.  I am trying to soak up as much information as I can because no matter what happens with btc itself this is an amazing and fascinating time! Smiley  Hello everyone!

I agree with those who say buy now.  I believe the media attention btc has been getting will drive the prices higher before it goes much lower.  If you are worried about it crashing, cash out after you have made a predetermined amount of profit, continue watching the charts, and buy again if you feel the time is right again later.  ...but I don't really know.

When you go to walmart, cvs etc usually you're putting your money into a bitcoin exchange such as MtGox.

This is a place where lots of people buy / sell bitcoins at the market rate.

When you get back you fire up MtGox, say "Buy" and it will find someone else on the exchange willing to sell for that price. You are getting their (or that group of peoples) bitcoins.

They may have mined them themselves, or they may have bought / sold them in the past.

Thank you! It was a troublesome question on my mind.... Smiley

So I understand that bitcoins are discovered/rewarded/found by mining.  From my understanding that is the only way they are discovered/rewarded/found and put into circulation.  Then when you go to a MSB to purchase bitcoins, where do those bitcoins come from?  Is there a miner out there that sells bitcoins to the user via Walmart, CVS, Western Union, etc?  If so, what is the incentive for that miner to continue to sell the bitcoins?  Contracts??

Or maybe the stork brings those BTC Smiley
