I joined in april/may. When I first heard about bitcoin during the bubble last year I took a quick glance and while I didn't exactly think "bubble" I knew I had missed the opportunity. I was getting very afraid about the long term stability of certain fiat currencies and banks. I am not a doomsayer; I'm not worried about "hyper" inflation... inflation like in the 70's in USA (10-20%) will be bad enough. But I took a quick look at gold/silver and realized that I'd missed that opportunity :-(.
Then I did not bother to investigate for months because of the SR stigma. When Scientific American ran a page on it as one of the greatest ideas of the decade or something, I decided to give it another look and was pleasantly surprised to see the price down below 5 bucks, a solid codebase, and a vibrant community.
electicmucus: re sockpuppets -- you are completely missing how the geopolitical climate is causing people to diversify in certain ways. "sockpuppets" don't have the fiat to cause this rally -- they would have bought already. Bitcoin is so small that a bunch of people deciding to put .1 to .5% of their net worth into it (just in case) will have a big effect on the price, but essentially no effect on the lifestyles of those people should BTC tank.

cool story
enjoy your denial
enjoy yours too.
I'm not saying they are all sockpuppets. But if somebody finds his way here after just 10-20 posts that is highly suspicious. Even more so if they appear to have a certain attitude... It just fits well together. People just don't wanna damage the reputation of their main account but they surely make new ones in order to squeeze the last sucker out using shitposting.
Oh look *there's an ignore button too!*
Is it just me or keep new users flooding into the Speculation forum lately?
This is just my impression, but forum stats seem to support my feeling:

So hands up! Who is new here and why did you sign up?

I don't see any increase in new users registered - it is the same a little about 1000 users per half month as has been for the last half a year.

I'm fairly new... I just picked up bitcoin as a side hobby a few months ago and find all the speculation fun! ^.^
Oh yeah and the speculation board is definitely one of the most entertaining
Yeah we have cookies and secret rockets.

I'm new and I signed up because I wanted to start exchanging btc face to face, plus sell anything I can make or source locally. I'm trying to build up some btc balance it's my latest interest.
