I'd like to ask the users here about how you got started in bitcoins and how you acquire bitcoins.
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?
I started with mining just a few months ago. I keep everything I mine, when I need to buy something with BTC I buy that BTC and then spend it right away. Hopefully all that I mine will be worth something significant some day.
