I have been around bitcoin since last year when they were at $9.00 ea. and skyrocketing. I couldn't get MtGox and Dwolla accounts open fast enough! I sat there for hours watching it go up and no transfer from Dwolla even though I knew it would take a couple of days to get the cash to MtGox. Finally bought somewhere, I really dont remember, but it was over $15 and my measly $200 was looking like not very many BTC.
Then I got into mining. Built a small rig and mined for a while. Long story short I have less than 200 BTC, but it will pay for all of my initial investment. I still mine here and there, and more lately, but now I really want alot more. I spend them here and there too. (no SR!
). I believe that a few need to actually be used and not just traded to help get them going.
My whole point to all of this is that I finally realized that I can advertise my investment everywhere I go. I find myself talking or at least mentioning Bitcoin to everyone I meet and know. If people show a spark of interest I pull out my physical Bitcoin from
coinedbits.com (that I carry with me everywhere) and that really gets their attention. So start telling everyone!
