Last time you bought Bitcoins, how much did you buy (value in USD)?

Now, if you made a deposit at MtGox of $800, and slowly bought it over the next week, with your last purchase being $50 worth, then select $800 in the poll, not $50.  I am looking for how much people are depositing to an exchange (or paying to a person).
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

you should reword this as "$25 or more" or better yet, use defined ranges.

$100,000 or less includes all your choices less than that.

Well, good point, but "or more" has the same problem, just the other direction.

I'll rename to defined ranges if I can.

you should've put in:

10000-20000
20000-30000
30000-40000
40000-50000
50000-100000 ranges.

Indeed.

By the way, people posting polls should probably read this article.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs.  You should too.

Doesn't matter now - I rest my case.  Far more people are making purchases < $1,000 than over $1,000.

By the way, people posting polls should probably read this article.
I figured there was probably some mathematical way to more evenly distribute poll results like this.  I like the 1-2-5 method... thanks for pointing this out!

$3000 only because of ASIC's, I would never buy that much otherwise. The bitcoin I need I usually get from my store.
