Wow what an inspirational read. I love the Chinese finger trap analogy.

I first read about Bitcoin about 6 year ago. It was Christmas and my wife and I were visiting friends in Oslo. They had a magazine lying around and it had an article int there. Dont ask me why but I "got it" almost immediately.Actually it is not so much a mystery, I had been studying finance for a while to learn how the financial crash had occurred. Like everyone else I was angry at the banks.
Anyways, I got what Bitcoin was about and I got all excited. "We need to buy $500 worth" I said to my wife. She had no idea what I was going on about. I think they were priced $15 or $30 at that time. Well, to cut a long story short, we did not buy them. But I did buy some when they were at $200.
Guess if I ociassionally bring this up to my wife lol - she always responds "Dont talk to me about it"
I was just saying to a friend tonight that crypto-currencies are only just at the beginning.
You are wise fellow anomoly
