Granted I live in Ohio, but I've never met a single person who has bought bitcoin. I haven't seen a store that takes it, and everyone I talk to thinks it's "risky" (which I don't agree with). Anyway, I'd love to hear if other people have met anyone in the real world who owns bitcoin (or any alternative currency) and if so, where do you live?

I think age is a huge facotr, age and tech savy people. I have not met anyone and I am 48. So I expect to meet no one. I don't work in the field. Hell, I still don't know how to use the one I have pending. I won't use it either. I will just sit on it and hope for my number.....

One thing about being old is I have seen things like this before. Not exactly like this, but at some point when the value is too high and the price falls backwards for a continuos 2 weeks to 40% down. No one will sell you one, because they wont be able to buy one to sell you. Up n up... then its over.

As I asked about coinbase and someone said they buy it when you buy it. But what if there seller doesn't sell to them ? What then, do you think Coinbase will be able to buy one at your rate or lower ? No one is going to take a loss. That is what everyone is missing.... Kind of the beuaty of it too. I know no one is going to take a loss. So as long as new buyers continue joining in it will continue going up... LMAO.... It seems no one has noticed this...

I also think once this one is tapped out another one will follow it up and then tap out and so on..
