Great question!

My wife rolled her eyes when I said I wanted to buy some bitcoin. I managed to convince her that I'd read a lot about it and thought it could be a good idea. Anyway, I'm a bit of nerd and liked the idea of getting on board early.

That was back in October, just after the Silk Road bust that caused (yet another) price crash. Within three weeks of buying, the price of bitcoin had gone up four fold.

Needless to say, my wife doesn't think I'm crazy any more.
