I still have my first bitcoin to this day.  I started out mining via BitcoinPlus, then I found out about BitMinter.  From there, I kept plugging away until I got my first full btc.  I also took advantage of multiple faucets and as a result have over 5 btc.  I'm still saving it up though.  Smiley

For those that are trying to hit websites that offer free bitcoin or those that finally made a decent exchange for a service or a product, so now you got bitcoin in the bank! Did you spend it? Saving it? Flaunting it? Gambling it? What are you doing with your hard earned bitcoin?

I kept my "precious" btc a very looong time before messing around with AndroidWallet, and finally lost my coins during an androidwallet upgrade ... Smiley

Still hoarding it in my wallet Tongue. I look at its blockchain every once in a while for amusement, trying to figure out how the magic happens.

Sitting in the wallet on my smartphone so I can show it off.

Lol, you're going to get your phone stolen (not your wallet).

Always a possibility (wallet is backed up off-line). I'd be more upset over losing a ~$600.00 smartphone than for a single bitcoin.   Wink

I gave mine to help people in Japan after the tsunami. It's always great to see that after disasters, members of the Bitcoin community step up to help.

You are a good guy. I donated my coins to the EFF.

First BitCoin! I'm only 0.2 away from my first. I'd probably save it though, keep it forever as a keepsafe.

I can tell you what I did with my first LiteCoin though...well it's still sitting in my wallet waiting for some services to crop up.

Now think what you can do with it  Smiley

Edit2: Forgot to tell about mine, I still have it but is now on paper and thinking about getting a nice frame for it  Cheesy

Laugh if you must but I earned my first couple of bitcoins and then (thinking I had my backups sorted) replaced my OS and destroyed my wallet in the process ....  Embarrassed

Lesson learned though - I've now got online/offline/onsite/offsite copies of everything ...

(tip for n00bs like me - once you've finished laughing at me, make sure you're 100% backed up)

Omg I did absolutely same thing, except that I did not care for bitcoin at that time, more knowledge came later  Undecided
Then when I got my next one first one I exchanged it on mtgox  Grin
