So the two questions are:
1. When you started, did you MINE or did you BUY bitcons?
2. If you are a regular user of bitcoins currently, do you MINE or do you BUY bitcoins?
1, When i started in bitcoin i started by 'selling' product and gained bitcoin, so i basically brought but at a nice price.
2, I have since slowed down using bitcoin as much as i previously did although i do use it as my personal bank that know one in my local area understands what i have and where i have it. 'priceless' but i don't have as much as i once did.
Bitcoin is so good at hiding funds you don't want the world knowing you have, amazing stuff.
