;) I bought $5 worth. We just had a lottery around here last week that reached $300M. My wife and I bought 5 tickets, just so we could dream about our minuscule chances for astronomic wealth for a couple of days. My guess is that $5 in BTC is a safer bet, and at least it won't be dispelled as quickly.

It has been an exciting year for bitcoin. Do you still have your $5 stake? It should be worth over a grand by now.

That $5 was lost when the exchange I was using was "hacked". I forgot the name of it, but I think the owner just stole it.

At any rate, I bought more when they were ~$13. That's done well. But geez, I wish I could go back to when I first posted this. I could retire if I wanted to. :)
