Okay, so we don't have to start a new thread for our 'first post' to count? Hopefully, this will cover all I need right here. La di dah, uh, my mind has gone blank - I can't think of anything more to write - I've got writer's block and this won't count as long enough for my first post! Arrgghhh! Alternately, it just may not be significant enough to count as my first post. Darn. How can I master this beast? All is lost.... no substantial first post for me. I know, just copy the post above me:
Here's my big substantial newbie post.
My first encounter with Bitcoin dates back to year 1849. I was a tall, slander, handsome, scrubby but most importantly of all - single - dude. I was a visionary and a forward-thinker. I discovered the "bit" part of bitcoin at an early age but it wasn't until '49 until I discovered the "coin" part.
I was 17 at the time. The first paycheck I earned from my mining gig in California was paid to me in coins. I thought to myself "coins are awesome!". That was a milestone. On that day I started collecting coins bit by bit until I got a sack full of copper. I started referring to them as "bit-by-bit coins". It was my own hard earned money. I was proud. I spent it women, booze, and chemical stimulants. It was money well spent. Since the name bit-by-bit coin was a bit awkward, I shortened it to "bitcoin". And that's the story of the original bitcoin folks.
