First noticed bitcoin on a zero hedge article in 2012. Set up my blockchain.info account in November 2012 after reading about bitcoin for an entire weekend. I couldn't figure out a way to buy any in the UK and i didn't trust the idea of escrow. By the time I pulled my finger out and started accumulating that way the price was 60 dollars instead of 10 or something and i missed out on a significant life changing payday :-)
C'est la vie! All the chaps who hung in there and used the bear market to accumulate should be pretty happy right now.
