I just wanted to make the excuse as a new member to say hello, but I do have a few tame questions  and share a few thoughts.
I like to spread my investments like many do, the vast majority are safe, well as safe as you can be these days. But I do have a pot of usually anywhere between 7% to 15% of more high risk investments and usually by far my most fun investments. That is probably a bad attitude to have when it comes to investing, but we live once, unless that is you are buddhist.

I was cynical and fearful of Bitcoin a few years ago, mostly the fear came from not understanding.  But this year I read up a little along with a good mate pointing out to me "Do you really understand how banks work these days", and though I do a little, I really don't undertstand fully what they get up to, as most people don't.  I am still a little fearful but there is so much I like about Bitcoin and the possibilities for it's future, it really could go all the way, and it is so much more honest than fiat currencies. Bitcoin is now my riskier investment and alreadt providing me with a little fun.

I purchased my first lot of bitcoin a few months ago, wow what a start. Even though I am in for the long term it lifted me to see how well it was doing straight away. What I would like to know from some of you is what do you think of [Suspicious link removed] who I use, no complaints yet, but just want others opinions and are the better places to buy britcoins, and I will be buying more.

And is there any good literature any of you would recommend, read loads of stuff online, but sure there is a lot more. And I have noticed that some great minds love Bitcoin from what I can see, but  the mainstream are just terrified of it still. And that's probably my main reason for choosing bitcoin, if those people can be won over by what could be a great idea that could change the world, this could be big, but I do know how these thngs work, even great ideas can end up in the bin.
