I'd love to tell more people about bitcoin but I have a really hard time explaining it to people. I confuse myself most of the time.

You dished out at least 17 BTC amongst those you care about? Are they the only ones that have access to the wallets?

Nice shout though. Was the intention to give as an investment?

Unrequited care warrants no BTC love

I got into it when I read about MT Gox. My wife and I discuss it a lot but we prefer to keep it kind of quiet. 

Been talking about Bitcoin since a bought my first for 13usd 2011. Some are a skeptical, some don't even begin to understand it, but some are actually quite intrigued. The total number of people I convinced to actually buy some coins: 0. I do sometimes enjoy saying "you should have listened to me back when it was at 13usd" though

I heard that Bitcoin went bust/Bitcoin's CEO ran away with everybody's money. So much wrong with that statement.

I convinced about 4 people. You could turn this thread into a poll

Irony...of ironies.

My family is humoring me, I think, because they think they're the smart ones in the room. Besides, faux news has demonized bitcoin - um, bitcom - so they're indifferent.

My ex, as it turned out, took an interest...so I sent him btc (where he, of course, promptly forgot his password   )and while he does now own btc, it remains to be seen whether or not he will figure out his password and be able to access it. I sent it to him at the best possible time though because it'd been 489ish or around there. Now it's $100 higher and he's psyched.


Plus it's torturing him knowing he can't access it so that's always a bonus for me 

I've got all my family and friends interested, only a few have dowloaded wallets, none have bought any btc. (they all want me to give them some though )
just today however I convinced a local non-profit art gallery to take btc donations. I am going over tomorrow to walk them through the wallet/security things and to print them off qr code to display and hopefully get money donated.
this is thier website, http://ministryofcasualliving.ca/
I guess they will have to install a donate btc button on there too, any suggestions for a good, free "donate btc" app to add to the website or is a qr code and public address good enough?

I can't believe you didn't jump on that deal
