Did you buy 1 bitcoin yet? That would make for some excitement

No. And I must confess to something much worse than pontificating on bitcoin without ever having used it:
I have served jury duty five times, all murder cases,
without having murdered anyone before.
So, before I buy some bitcoin, I must fill that gap in my experience, in case I am again called to serve. Would you volunteer?
Yes sir, I did volunteer, and for a bigger gap than jury duty. Not necessarily one that I'd want to go back to, with any sanity anyway.
But kudos to you for a methodical and thorough approach.
