Had 2btc at mtgox, thought 5 seems like a nice number, so waited as climbed up, gambled and
placed buy order for 3 (forgot about fees)
2013/04/10 05:27:12 In 0.56702174 BTC 4.98540213 BTC
BTC bought: [tid:136559xxxxxx] 0.56702174 BTC at $264.60000
Didn't total 5btc so took another stab:
2013/04/10 05:29:13 In 0.03000000 BTC 5.01200000 BTC
BTC bought: [tid:136559xxxxxx] 0.03000000 BTC at $264.70000
So almost got peak and had my 5btc.
I was very proud to "buy" bitcoin at the peak of its "bubble" and emotionally moved.
I did not trade any of my hoarded btc (more than 5) during the roller coaster ride nor when it leveled out at 150
because I did not want to part with my btc for fiat ever.
Instead I traded some when the troll box at btc-e where all yelling and screaming about BitInstant or BitStamps price
constantly dropping and then gleefully scooping up "cheap coins." Traded rest periodically later and currently have none.
I hope I did my little part to help that with that dip.
So far, to date, that has been my entire contribution to bitcoin, I intend to rectify that and will troll forums to see what I can do.
I got very excited about bitcoin in 2011, could see its potential, then got distracted and forgot all about it like most sheeple.
In closing, I would like to thank the bitcoin community and the developers for what you have accomplished in such a short time.
I am looking forward to working with some of you if I can in this next phase.
Regards,
Alex
