Just have a few questions for those who bought/mined BTC early in the days when things weren't this crowded.
1. How long did it take for a transaction to be confirmed?
2. What were the other issues experienced apart from Hardware complications and energy requirements?
I think most of the early adopters are holding their Bitcoin. For example Tim Draper and Charlie sheen and many others. They believe in long term success of Bitcoin irrespective of short term hurdles and price dumps.
But I heard that Silk road who is holding more than 1 million Bitcoin moving in small parts.
