No, I don't have any BTC. However, I'm starting to think I should start getting some...

Why only now?

I had been out of the loop for a while but it does seem to be that it's really picking up steam and will be accepted worldwide in a matter of time. How do I get some?

cryptsy.com is a good place, but you have to get verified.

It's interesting you have to be verified in order to buy money.

It's because of US brokerage laws; same thing applies for buying commodities on tradeking.com, etrade.com, etc.

Hmm, interesting. I went to sign up, but I wasn't comfortable giving out my SSN.

You can try https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/ - it's like ebay for bitcoin, so look for sellers with high feedback rating. You can either meet face to face or do an online transaction across bank accounts and btc wallets.
