I've been lurking in Reddit /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk for months but have just been soaking it all in. I've invested what a could over the last 8 months or so. I have accounts at the major exchanges and have been very active since the recent bubble. Ive loaded my reddit bitcoin tip bot.  I see Bitcoin as a part of a general revolutionary trend toward open source distributed 'open democracy' type solutions for society and bitcoin is one piece of that. I'm in. Id love to participate as a full member. I humbly request white list status.
