First off, everyone's reasons are excellent and good luck to you all. I have set out with the goal of purchasing my first home all from bitcoin profits one way or another. Here's a "bit" of my story with BTC. One day at dinner a friend of mine told me about this digital currency called bitcoin and how it's price is skyrocketing and I should buy some. First I was pretty confused because I had never even heard of digital currencies before, so I did what research I could with the limited amount of worthwhile info online at the time and of course watched that video titled "bitcoin explained". This was when the price originally boomed up to about $250... One thing my friend said that I couldn't let slip my mind is something like "This could be the next internet. Do you want to miss out on the chance to invest in it? I was in. I purchased about 4 BTC spending about $800 from my savings. This is where things got interesting. As you likely know the price kept dropping immediately after this and ended up staying around $100 for quite some time. I lost focus and decided to sell all my BTC and get back half what I put in at $400. Of course I did this through the best and biggest exchange MtGox! Ha. Well, I waited and waited and was told my money would arrive to my bank account shortly. After about 2 months of waiting I decided this is Bull**it, I'm buying back in. Mind you the price was up to about $280. I emailed Mtgox and asked for them to put my withdraw back into my account which they thankfully did. I bought back about 1.5 BTC and got it the hell out of Mtgox because they were seeming more and more sketchy. Looking back I am ever so fortunate I decided to do this when I did or I would be one of the poor people who lost their money with the fall of Mtgox. So now I'm at 1.5 BTC and way down in my original investment but NOT OUT!!! I took that 1.5 BTC and turned it into around 4 through a mixture of strategically betting on basketball, early adoption cloud mining at pbmining, and affiliate marketing. I continue to look for more ways to earn money through bitcoin and currently have a few online ventures I'm working on. Some are making me more BTC daily and others have yet to blossom, but it really amazes me to realize the possibilities that the internet and bitcoin bring forth. I am now up to 25 BTC and am very proud, but have set my sights on a much larger goal. People close to me have told me to cash out my bitcoin or at least some of it, but I'm in this for the long run as I decided back when I bought back in for my 1.5 coins. I feel like I'm part of a community that could be revolutionary and I'm not going to just cash out of it. I want this wonderful currency to work for me, for you and for all of us. When I reach my goal and am able to buy my first home with my BTC I would love to look back and write about all the people and ideas that got me there. I want to share to everyone how bitcoin can open new doors and really change your life financially and maybe it will spark someone else's motivation to do something similar. This 100 BTC could be a giant leap towards reaching my goal and obviously I could never show you the amount of gratitude you would deserve, but I could definitely invite you over for dinner to get the grand tour!
Thanks for this opportunity,

This is the most ridiculous post yet.
In a nutshell: I turned 1.5 Bitcoins into 25 Bitcoins in a matter of months but I want more cause I'm greedy and I also wanna buy a house with Bitcoins so I think you should give me the 100 Bitcoins.
Oh shit.
People.
