I listen to TWiT (This Week in Tech), hosted by Leo Laporte. I heard about BitCoin a few times on the podcast. I looked into it and noticed the price was around $55 USD per coin but it had recently been $254!

Figured I had to look more into this! I now own 1.39 BTC and bought around $75 per. Sure wish I was more ahead of the curve on this. Oh well...
