Introduce yourself :)

[newtothescene]

Tech/IT person with a recent interest in BTC.  Like a lot of people, I read up on it a few years back but wasn't keen enough to snatch up a few for potential investment.  Revisiting the benefits of distributed currency combined with the recent trend in valuation peeked my interest.  Doing some mining now, but nothing serious.  

Awesome community, glad to join!

Just discovered bitcoin about 2 weeks ago and I'm afraid I'm a bit obsessed with it and other crypto currencies already. Absolutely love the idea of the currency and want to support it.  I've been kicking around ideas for online services and businesses that would endorse it, and hoping to elaborate on them soon. IRL, I'm an IT System administrator, but so ready to get out of it so I can do my own things. I've already spent a good bit of time reading posts around here and finally opened up an account so I could participate.

I'm just that guy who hopes one day Bitcoin will be relatively stable and I'll be able to use it as a medium of exchange for almost anything.  The reason I joined this forum is to talk with other people who also have interest in BTC.

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Been mining BTC since the initial buzz in 2011, and cashed out at $90. Now things are at $144! Will it ever stop?

Hi, my name's Mordrul, and I'm a recovering addict of fiat funny money.

I'm working on helping to create and grow a new model for society, that of voluntary human action, through spreading awareness and helping Voluntarists find one another.

I'm not actually a member of the church of Kopimism, but I am an adherent.

That's about it, I think.

Very interesting concept!! - Bitcoins - Decentralized banking -

inflation, security, Taxing??
_______________________________________________________________________________ ____

i'm new to all this and i like it. 

in my eyes the world banking system has created economic instability worldwide and by their actions are promting caos... and one comes to ask - where should i put my money, are the basic fundumentals of the banking system defeated, were banks not created to safegaurd our money? is it normal for the people to pay for the banks 'bad business'? - i consider that its un-acceptable for people to allow and continue to trust in a system which at-will taps into savings.

with that said i have my reservations about bitcoin concept.  Will the governemnts and current banking system allow such a transistion to bitcoin.  will they invest a lot of money and power to destroy it?

like i said i'm new here, i like it and i have decided to trust and endorse this movement with a nominal amount $ which i can live without.

Thats it for now!!

hi everyone this is gr8

[ertylee]

lol i cant make 1 post to newbie area

[gmak]

Im new to the concept of BITCOINS and i like it.

we are currently passing through worldwide economic turmoil created by various entities for various reasons - as a result, in my eyes the banking system in place has reached a point were one comes to ask the following questions,

-were the banks not created as a service/faculity to safegaurd savings$?
-how can the banks - fund missmanagement - result in the tapping of ones savings$ ? no security in place to monitor this?

the concept of bitcoin - decentralized banking - capped 'inflation' - ect.... sounds like something missing in the world right now!

i'm sure it needs a lot of work to be developed and to implement the requried security in place

but i decided to support and endorse this movement but investing $ i can afford to such to endorse the movement!

Hello everybody
