“When some of these folks started using bitcoins, they were worth just a couple dollars each. Recently, bitcoins are going for as much as $1,000 a piece. As Pedro Aguiar says, it feels like winning the lottery. ‘I mean, it’s exhilarating,’ he says. People in this community tend to be pretty cagey about sharing personal financial details. So it was hard to get anyone to tell me exactly how many bitcoins they own. But one person did say he invested relatively little back in 2011 when each coin was worth just $6 or $7 dollars. He says today, he has more than 10 times his annual salary in bitcoins.“
