Hello.

We're really allowed to just say hello and knock off 1/5 of the requirement to become jr. member?

Hello everyone, I just joined the forum, hoping to learn more about Bitcoins, and hoping to buy some Bitcoins too. (Need to buy something with BTC)

Post to get out of this noob shizzle

Hi, I'm here to insult mt. gox constantly for the complete ineptness of it's owner, his failure to do anything reasonable to protect his website, and to beg Kevin to keep every last dime he can get a hold of in the hopes that pathetic excuse for an exchange gets tanked and the owner is left destitute. That is what he deserves.

Hello I'm new to bitcoin, very exciting!

[boscorocks]

It is very strange how I found out about Bitcoins. I decided one day I wanted to get more copper coins on ebay. While looking, I found the Bitcoin design copper round. I had never heard of it. I thought it was something like Free Lakota Bank which minted rounds. Well, was I surprised. Now I know what it is! I which I had found out about it even a few weeks earlier, when the price was much lower. I spend at least 6 hours a day online researching things...and I can't believe I had never heard of Bitcoins until a few weeks ago!

I am largely self educated. I taught myself to read at the age of four. My favourite place to hide while playing hookey in school, which was the norm, was the library. I escaped most reprimand by acing their tests anyway. To this day I spend much of my time reading. Whereas in the past, that was mostly books, nowadays it is the Web. I have often found that by the time I read a book, the lag time caused by hard copy publication has rendered it already old news, as I've already read it on the Web.

I was bred to be an anarchist, not so much by my parents, though I was mostly left to raise myself, but rather by my awareness even as early as five that my requirement to attend school was simply might makes right, force. I didn't really think it all the way through until I found Stefan Molyneux, but I was officially a Libertarian Minarchist by the age of 20.  Nowadays I tend to be viscerally cynical about anything to do with the state, though when I converse with people it tends to be less from an ethical and more a pragmatic cynicism. I point out the extreme evil of the consequence of the state, often from an economic perspective. Die hard communists tend to enjoy my perspective, and I often wind up leading them to question their own thoughts on the state as being any possible solution.

I have a strong foundation in economics and much of my thinking finds itself extrapolating from there. I am ecologically minded in much the same way as Bjørn Lomborg. I am the very antithesis of a Luddite, believing fervently that individual entrepreneurship and technology can and will ultimately solve all problems, if they are not stopped from doing so by the state. Political sophisticates often label me as a Libertarian Socialist. I tend to identify myself as a left leaning Anarcho-Capitalist, left leaning because I envisage a common ownership of "the commons", paying a dividend to every individual. I do not envisage that common ownership as being a state, as it by no means implies any monopoly upon, or right to initiate force.

I have been self employed for twenty years creating extreme fetish erotica. Though the quality has been very low budget and therefore somewhat amateurish, I am very proud of the work I have done, as I believe I have evolved that media in a cathartic fashion that has significantly improved the lives of a great many people. I dare say I have even saved lives with it. The changing nature of media however has made it difficult to market such things, given that I dare not put my work where children and other innocents can easily acquire it, and so nowadays I live as a pauper, waiting for inspiration to take me down a new path.

I am 54 years old and the kids are alright.

Hi.

yay, a post!

[windexh8er]

Hello bitcoin world...  The sad fact is, I started mining not too long after Bitcoin was first spun up.  Boy do I wish I had been mining all that time...  Now, I'm just trying to get a few things squared away on a rig, wondering if the whole ASIC debate will make mining less of a good option than just flat out buying BTC.

just another n00b... bitcoin being another domain to hack with.
