Topic: Somewhat new to BTC, but pretty much an evangelist. (Read 438 times)
I had an interest a little over a year ago, but I made the mistake of listening to some friends who derided BTC as "Aspie money" and a "waste of time".
If only I hadn't listened to them.
Anyway, I started off with BTC shavings from giveaway sites. When VirWoX offered Second Life Dollar conversions to BTC, I cashed out some of my earnings there and bought my first whole BTC. (Then SL changed their policy and that avenue ended quick.)
I've mined a little for fun on my home PC ... and I've earned about BTC.10 as of this weekend. It's just been in fun, running my older GPU when I'm at work or asleep. I also pick coins of any denomination off of the ground, so there you go.
I've recently bought directly from someone locally using LocalBitCoins.com. That was kind of fun, and I honestly think that it's my favorite method of buying/selling BTC. Person-to-person really maintains that "People's Currency" feel that I like so much about Bitcoin.
I've ordered a run of 1,000 3.5" round Bitcoin logo stickers - silkscreened on real vinyl - and will be selling those online when they arrive, for Bitcoins, naturally!
I've also got a business idea rolling around in my head. I love that I'm still technically an "early adopter" and have an opportunity to participate in something really exciting and potentially world-changing.
So hey, hi!
