Not sure when I heard about it, got my first transaction in november 2013, do know I was watching to buy a coin, then arround $ 70,-, waited for my paycheck to come in, the moment it did, it went up to $1000,- that was a bit of a downer for me, shouldn't have waited

But did embrace bitcoin and have been looking for ways to contribute to the bitcoin economy, selling my service as a cartoonist, chasing another life goal which is getting paid for what I like doing the best, drawing cartoons
