You are not going to believe me, but my first coin was buyed on EBAY and paid with PAYPAL at 18 when the price on MTGOX was 14 (And I believed I will never recover the cost of the commission I had paid ... I would had to buy a few thousand bitcoins then... )
What happened if you bought a few thousand?
It was just before the price Skyrocket to 200 x 1000, well, I could be rich for now.
