Hello bitcointalk

I have been lurking for many months now. Finally decided to create an account and get active.
I am looking forward to becoming a part of this community and getting to know the members.

See you around.

and I fail at posting in the sticky right off the bat :@
mod please move, sorry

Dammmn bro, you already suck at this! Just quit now!!!

Haha just kidding dude! I do stuff like this all the time!

Are you a noob to bitcoins ? AKA have you been using/trading them for very long? I've known about bitcoins and this forum for about a year and a half but only started exchanging about 6 months ago.

all the hype around the huge spike made its way into my circles

Are you referring to last year's or this most recent spike (from $5 ish to $11 ?) 

I don't know there was much hype ... the other than the Ars Technica I haven't seen much from media with large readership.   Was there?   (say, compared to the type of media attention a stock would get if it were to double in price in 60 days).

Good to have you on board, with more people popping out of the wood work and making a positive contribution to this community can only help grown the project.
