Hi guys,
I purchased my first coins in the spring of 2012, for $7 each. Since then I constantly lurk here but write seldom.

I made a small fortune and lost a large part due a bad trading. But the stash grew by now and became nicely fat again. I claimed BCH's, sold them, bought some more BTC and some ZCash. I think the latter is one of few altcoins with good future because its advanced anonimity, something that BTC should also eventually implement.
