yup same here 

I have a background in distributed protocols and cryptography, and I'm completely enthralled by Bitcoin. It dominates my daily thought process, and I have bunches of potential ideas. That said, so far, I'm just tinkering on the side, as I have other (non-Bitcoin) endeavors that need my immediate attention. Nonetheless, I'd be thrilled if Bitcoin could become the foundation of the rest of my software development career. (All this enthusiasm, and I only own 1.88btc, and that's just from the generosity of others. I look forward to the day when BTC can pay the rent.)

Bitcoin turned my $200 investment into $30000 (during the bubble) into $7000 (now).

I'm a software engineer, and I'm about to start a really awesome job after 10 years at a different company. However, a bitcoin-related job is my dream. They just don't exist yet (at least, not for a guy with 3 kids and a mortgage).

Lightbulb! thank you much

Bitcoin saved my life

interesting, how?

Well, seems I have somebody answering for me. Guess I don't need to respond for myself in that case.


Would that really be something to laugh about if it were true?

It's the community that kills it. So I figure I've wasted my time here, as my IQ has dropped. Unfortunately this community is a societal virus so there's really no escape. Just like the United States government is a societal virus that no one, not even the citizens can escape from (who have been mostly brainwashed).

in any other community your IQ might seem high
and in this community your IQ might seem low
but i assure you, your IQ hasn't changed
its all relative
