I joined in April of 2011 when bitcoin was 0.7 cents Sad

I mean, the Sad is because then I bought only 5 bitcoins... Sad


Even post-bubble after it went down to 5, I was still wanting to hit my head on a wall for not buying more bitcoins for 0.7

I might recommend you do this poll as:
1) Pre-2010
2) Pre-2011
3) Q1 2011
4) Q2 2011
5) Q3 2011
6) Q4 2011
7) Q1 2012
Cool Q2 2012
9) Q3 2012

If you're going to go price specific it might be better to categorize by:
1) Pre $1
2) Post $1 but Pre $30
3) Post $30 but before January 2012
4) Since January 2012 but Pre Pirate bust
5) Post Pirate bust

Well noted for another poll in a few months

I think people remember events better than dates...

I jumped in July of 2011 as it was coming down from $17.

I had played around with it and joined the board about a year earlier. Tried to run the mining software on my laptop and it crashed so I stopped trying.

What I mean by involve is when you though "OK I'm jumping into it!" in time or money.
