My name is Evelyn.

I'm primarily interested in bitcoin as a financial investment, though I have a machine at my disposal that I'm probably going to set up for mining.
I like volatile markets - Pink sheets, penny stocks, and bitcoin.
Dangerous but with high payoffs.

It's like prep for hedge funding later in life.  (=

I'm joining the forum to hopefully make some connections that can be trusted for exchange between USD (Dwolla or PayPal) and bitcoin.
As well as to learn more about the various exchanges and how other people view bitcoin as an investment.

There's certainly risk involved but what the OP is doing is similar to my intentions and is a lot like what I did with penny stocks/pink sheets for about a year.
It was my first time investing and in half a year, I doubled my tax return, took it out, and paid off some serious bills.

I was looking to get back in but none of the micro-pharmaceuticals were catching my eye like they had before.
Then I read about bitcoin, the decentralized structuring, the mining options, etc.
And it seems like the next great experiment that I'll either rock or bomb.

I've always felt that the volatility of bitcoin (or any stock) is exactly what you're hoping for, if you want a daytrading strategy.
Can't make 10%+ in a day on a stable currency or stock without insider knowledge.
I would never DDoS a system, I don't even have the capabilities.
But I'll certainly take advantage of the effects it creates.

Hope everything's still running smoothly for you, OP!
This post got me excited, I'm still learning about the various exchanges and getting some avenues for changing bitcoin into USD right now.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many people looking to accept BitCoin as payment.
Originally I had just planned to attempt to get in, make some investments, and transfer out but..

I'm the co-founder of a small indie gaming company and a lot of these services actually seem legitimately useful.  (=
