Depends how "in" you want to be. If you just want to buy a small amount, then, yes, you should probably wait for a lower price in the near term. But if it's a large amount, and long term as well, you should probably dollar cost average, since you probably "feel" it will go up - eventually.

Also, if you already have some Bitcoin, you will not be as desperate should the price suddenly jump. You won't feel as if you missed the boat. But if you haven't any at all, you might just want to buy a few as a "lottery" type investment. You are betting that some Central Bankers somewhere sometime are going to give somebody's accounts a haircut. Not a bad bet, I'd say.

Thanks! "Free": Resistance is futile!

For some reason I am unable to resist free BTC!

Thanks!

Received the 0.001 BTC, thanks! This is exciting for some reason...

I like to run Puppy Linux in RAM with my hard drives powered off. But any changes I make to my Electrum wallet dat on my USB stick should show up if I start Electrum  from the seeds on another computer, even if I shut down the computer with the USB removed, should it not? (Assuming I start the new Electrum WITHOuT the USB stick on the new computer.) Or is my understanding of how Electrum works flawed? Sorry for the rambling incoherence, and/or rude hijacking.

If I can think of enough meaningful posts by the deadline, I'll be in...

If not, thanks anyway!

Thanks, looks like fun!

Note: I have ensorcelled the hapless falgel8 into passing on this message of hope to you all:

I am Zarqoq from 23,000 years in the past, abducted in my youth to live in the far future, about 653 years after the present era. And I say unto thee: Hark, and cease thy useless prattling! Bitcoin will rise. I myself funded this pastrip with .000042 microSatoshis. Faith!

I now return the bewilder'd falgel8 to his usual befuddled self...
