Hi Everyone,

I recently discovered the exciting (and frequently turbulent) world of Bitcoins, originally thinking that it was Ponzi Scheme only to realize later that the underlying premise (decentralized currency) is something that is much needed in the world today as every other form of currency is controlled by a central government who pushes their own agenda.   I personally have a background in finance and understand how the markets work and while I think Bitcoin won't get to the point of acceptance in it's current form, the concept will most certainly survive in some shape or form.  After researching NEM, I realize that it has great potential to get us to that point and I especially appreciate the transparency and activeness of the developers of this project.  While I unfortunately missed out on the original IPO, I would very much jump on the opportunity and purchase a stake if a second round opens up.   Thanks!
