eeos- It was possible to get bitcoins directly from individuals that you had contact with ten years ago. I don’t recall the exact date I got mine, but it was in the sub- $10 range. I got some direct from an individual that I trusted and sent cash to. I also did some early dealings with the MtGox exchange before they went belly-up. I was wary of the exchange. It was a quick cash-in, bitcoins out, and don’t leave any funds with the exchange.
Farmboy- nevermind the ‘King’ title. I’ll settle for the ‘Big Kahuna’. And these mountains ain’t small… nearly 14,000 ft sticking out of the ocean is enough to affect the local weather patterns. Yeah, sleeping late, coffee, and watching Bitcoin rise 10% a day is a tough job. Beats day-trading. 🙂
Now I just gotta listen for that bell they ring at the top… 🙂
