Hello, here a Spanish suffering the crisis cause we were over spending (i listen that every day...). (I have no car, no house, just studies of engineer and working on a company for international projects earning 1000 and still listening that i am earning too much ).
Ha, ha. You are lucky. I'am teaching electronics at a university for 400/month. This salary is fixed by our goverment and it was same before crisis...
Wow, that's pretty harsh. Glad I don't live in Europe, although I'd love to be in Liechtenstein! The US isn't much better I'm afraid.
I'm a CS and economics student (and semi-retired) which explains why I love Bitcoin so much! I live in the northwest part of the US and I am posting in these forums for the first time because I need to figure out how to get Bitcoins the cheapest to resell. I've been mining since about December of last year, at which point I was losing money every month but I figured it was fun and I didn't care, and I figured that BTC was undervalued anyways. I wish I would have done more back then!
I want to open a local exchange once I create enough demand here for bitcoins. Apparently all the bulk sellers are closed or not accepting customers at this time, though. I shudder to think I might have to go through Mt. Gox for all my buying. Last time I ended up spending close to 10% just to get the money there. Obviously it paid off, but it is so expensive with all the middle men!
