I'm new.
I started buying BTC in June, after a few months of reading. Turned out to be great timing
I'd heard about bitcoin before, and loved the idea, but hadn't had the time to do enough research to get involved in any meaningful way.
Since the growth has been so dramatic it's been a bit hard to shut me up about bitcoin lately
A few of my mates have since bought BTC. Another has started accepting BTC for her jeans.
Pure speculation, but I'm sure there are many like me, and it's being reflected in the price.
