another newbie post

Excited.  That's the one word that sums up how I'm feeling.  I'm just posting this to bump up my post count, but, wow, so excited.

I've known about bitcoins for a couple of years, but never really looked at them until a couple of weeks ago.  No point regretting I didn't come in earlier, just happy I came in now.

Been involved in various internet communities since around '97, and this is the first one to really 'wow' me.  Been watching for a couple of weeks, spreading my small bitcoin fortunes around so I don't get stung too hard when something goes wrong (which I expect it too).

It's a real learning experience though, and I'm loving that.  Learning a lot about finance, internet security, SEO and various other subjects.  Even if the BTC price tanks, I'm still in profit from what I've learnt.

It's all win/win for me atm!

Hello and welcome to the community. 

Thanks

You can also spread your fortune to forum members as donations  

I've been bitten by the greed bug recently.  Would have to be a very impressive post to part me from my money.  Challenge submitted!

Hmm
Well I donate to friendly and helpful members more often. I'm sure you like everyone else will need help with something in time.  

I hope I don't (ask for money).  Appreciate the sentiment though

Welcome phaskie!  The learning experience is not to be underestimated.  Bitcoin opened up a whole new world to me about programming and cryptography.  By it's nature BTC attracts fairly sophisticated computer users and it's been pretty easy to learn a lot by lurking and reading.  I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I was already into programming a lot, but not the cryptography.  Made some attempts to learn it, but didn't see the value.  I do now!
