#2Gave it a go back when namecheap added bitcoin payment just to try it out. I have 2 BTC left in a wallet backup, but I don't have the client installed anymore since I'm not keen on devoting 10 GB disk space to a copy of the blockchain.
Back then they were super easy to get (at least in Japan - feed some cash into an ATM, enter mt gox's account #, enter your username as your depositor name)

#30, I like the idea but I still haven't found a single reason to own one.

#4The last time my interest was piqued I found it so difficult to buy them in the UK (looked like the best way was to wire some money so someone in France…) that I gave up.

#5We've invested about 3% of our cash in them. It's a nice high risk high reward gamble.

#6For me, it's the chicken + egg problem -- the merchants that sell the stuff I want to buy don't accept them. So I don't have any BTC.

I had exactly the same experience. Kicking myself now as they were $8 each at the time...

I've been trying to set up an exchange here in the UK, but am facing a lot of what I consider anti competitive behaviour from UK banking. I met Vince Cable to talk about it and hopefully the situation will change in the future:

Although it's a big mountain to climb so perhaps it's wishful thinking at this stage!

#9Shouldn’t option 2 be ‘0.00000001-10’ instead of ‘0-10’? As it is stated now, someone with no BTC should vote for option 1 as well as option 2.
Actually, the other options overlap too. I suggest using ‘11-20’, ‘21-50’, ‘51-200’, ‘201-1,000’, and ‘1,001-10,000’.
EDIT: I adjusted option 2 to start with less than 1 but more than zero. Thanks for the correction. I also agree with other commenters that the ‘1-10’ range is too large.

#10A good follow up question for those that have them: How did you acquire them?
Currency Exchange, Selling Goods, Selling Services, Mining, etc
