I've been in pretty high spirits in 2013.  For real!

I'll be even more happy when I re-claim my initial investment.  I've always expected to do that at around $100/BTC (if ever) but may do it sooner.  After than I can more easily just lay back and see where this thing goes without checking the ticker so regularly.

If I were not so opposed to sending Mt. Gox a full identity theft kit things would be easier.  As I've mentioned before, anyone who is in the Pacific NW and has around $10k in cash, gold, or silver they want to convert to BTC is welcome to PM me though I'll probably only get real serious at around $50-$60 range.  And I'll be arranging things carefully so there is a very minimal chance of getting ripped off.

Now if Mt. Gox goes full mainstream US that might solve my problem.  At that point I'll feel confident that their security measures are appropriate and some hacker is not going to assume my identity.  Of course I have every intention of paying my taxes, and the US Govt already has my passport data...they having issued the thing and all that.  And maybe at that point Mt. Gox would just give me my fucking money rather than stringing it out like Inaba claims they have done to him.
