How can you not? They are the greatest thing in money since the metal coin. Just tell your employer you want to be paid in Bitcoins. That should do the trick since they are universally accepted and have so many advantages over all other forms of currency.

Seriously, if you spent 12 hours learning about Bitcoins, and you haven't figured out how to get them, it is safe to conclude you aren't looking for them to use as a medium of exchange. Thus, you are looking at them for speculation purposes. Do you really think it is wise to put your money into something that you can't understand after 12 hours of research? If you haven't figured out how to get them how do you figure on getting rid of them?

It's tax season. Give the man a break.

My intent was to get you to analyze why you want to acquire Bitcoins, and if acquiring for that purpose is wise. I do not know enough about your financial circumstances to give you specific advice to avoid Bitcoins. If you have money you can afford to lose and are willing to risk losing it, then Bitcoins may be a good place for you to speculate. I just want you to become reasonably informed before making such a decision.

I'm sorry I answered in a smart arse manner. It's sometimes tough to remember just which board you are responding on.
