Yeah man I know how you feel.. I remember hearing a bout it when it first started. Was skeptical and never though much about it. Kind of forgot about it. Then I hear about how much it's gone up .. look into it a bit more and now I understand a bit more how it works. I'm kicking myself in the ass right now.
Better late then never. I'm hoping to be able to get my hands on an ASIC soon and start mining.

Go and read about what makes money good according to classical economics. Then try to see how Bitcoin fits in. Or just read Falkvinge: http://falkvinge.net/2013/03/06/the-target-value-for-bitcoin-is-not-some-50-or-100-it-is-100000-to-1000000/
This entire discussion of "IF" is the only thing more *volatile* than BTC currency the last months.
If you guy where buying apple shares in 1998... Can you imagine where you would be now?
#LOL
ps. For story, I also were thinking to get in at 18-20USD and got in just a couple of days ago. That's how the currency market works, especially for new non-established currencies.
Greets :-)

I bought 20BTC for $14 - if I'd have been braver I could have been one of the BTC millionaires for like $15k USD back then.
You think your really angry? You should try getting a load at £7 and selling out at £11-£12 thinking SURELY it cant go much higher......
But ah well, I kept a few aside incase they do crazy mental on the ol' exchange rate.

SC5, a Finnish software company is doing just this. And The Internet Archive reportedly has plans to do so soon.

I'm really angry right now...
I first heard about this, idk, when it was at like $25 to 1. I was like, really? I'm not paying $25 for 1.
I let it go for a couple months, I come back and it's ~$40 for 1. I almost slapped myself.
Anyway, I got lucky and it jumped down to ~$35, so I bought in seeing it was a technical issue that made it happen. I figure at the very least, I can go to silkroads and spend it, or play poker...
Interesting ride. Not in for a lot, but in for enough, I guess. We'll see where it takes me.
If it blows up enough for me to exit with anything close to %100 in profit ($70:1), I'm going to have a real decision on my hands...do I buy in for real, or do I take my profits and be ok with them? Because if in 2040 they're worth $3000 and I bought out at $70, I might just have to end it...you know?
Anyway, worse case scenario....poker and fun money...
Best case scenario...who knows?
As for a job...I'd be willing to be paid in bitcoin. Why not? What type of jobs?
