Hi Harry, My Bitcoin story is insignificant. As a student of money since Economics 101 in college, I have held a small physical position in gold and silver coins. I kept following the gold bug community for over 20 years, when an article stated that the Libertarian Party of Canada endorsed the option of people to use gold as money. I quickly sought, joined and represented the Party as a candidate in the 2011 general federal election. In 2014, while attending the Party's national convention, another member introduced me to Bitcoin. He guided me to Blockchain and I obtained my first wallet. During the lunch break, we went to a local pub having a Bitcoin teller machine and I acquired $100 CAD of BTC. I have watched that value increase as I gave BTC values to other individuals that I influenced to accept as potential internet money. Time has been good to both physical and non-physical forms of money. Like I said, my BTC story is not worth much attention.
