I'm an enthusiast.
I bought 3 Casascius physical bitcoins that were delivered last week from memorydealers.com. I did so not for profit but for the novelty as with shipping and markup I paid 30USD for them but it was the only place I could buy using CC. I used one at btcsports.com and wagered it on the NY Jets with points today. Now I'm 1.01BTC richer! I still have 2 unspent Casascius coins in which I will save and put into mylar holders for protection. Eventually I'll buy the 25BTC Casasius coin but I will make this a pure BTC transaction.
I just got Dwolla set up and plan to put 50USD a month into bitcoins. I'll mainly use it to wager on sporting events and whatever other services come into being that would be useful to me.

I'm an enthusiast. I haven't bought a thing, have less value in bitcoins than I do in solidcoin, and have lost more through trading than earned. 100% of my bitcoins were freebies which I unfortunately lost a lot of - because I don't have any "useful" good or service to provide and don't want to invest in bitcoin, which looks like is continuing to lose value. The technology facinates me though, and with improvements I truly believe Bitcoin or one of its derivatives will change the world.
In short, I'm here because Nakamoto is the next Einstein.

Ive been doing a lot of reading about bitcoins and Ive come to find the concept incredible and especially so because of the time we live in. Im about to jump into this world, regardless of profit, and I ask of you all how you acquired your first bitcoin and at what cost?
