And the price seemed expensive because only two months before (in January) it was under $15.00.  This was right around the time that I learned about bitcoin.  I was disappointed because I felt I had missed the opportunity to participate in what I thought was a completely mind-blowing technology that I was sure would change the world.  I can see now that I was in fact an early adopter, and I also believe that people learning about bitcoin today will feel this way in a year or two as well.
