By the By today is my 8th Year Anniversary of finding out about Bitcoin! April 13th, 2013!
I have memories of buying my first bitcoin in April 2011, and I just searched my email to see if I could fit the exact date.
27th of May
OK, close enough.
Wiring $500 to MtGox. Sketchy as frig.
I just don't have my original forums account here, someone nicked it.
You're not wrong - I had to send money to MT Gox in 2013 via a company called "Technocash"
It was like whack-a-mole - Mark would orgaise a new way to send money and they would close them down just as fast.
So glad I took the risk....
