I came here from ripple and I'm trying to talk to people about ripple, but I can't because I'm locked out of those places.  It's currently 6:23PM EST and I understand that Mt. Gox will be reopening around 10PM EST.  A lot can happen then and I want to be prepared for whatever happens.  I'm trying to figure out how I can get in on the action.  I had an opportunity to buy bitcoins for less than $1 a long time ago and I'm very sad and depressed that I didn't invest $500 in bitcoins back when I had the chance.  I'm really upset about it.  Seriously.  I'm trying to be optimistic and will be willing to buy as many bitcoins as I can while the market is at a low, right now.  I suppose I can buy a few bitcoins for under $100 in the hopes that in a few years they'll be worth a lot more.  I don't expect to get rich, I think I already lost that opportunity, but at least I hope I can do something that will make me feel a bit better about myself and my life.
