 rules of Bitcoin, and they failed. Changes in Bitcoin take many years to
 succeed and are more like optimizations than rule changes.

 An easy way to get accustomed with Bitcoin is to accumulate Bitcoin
 periodically for the long run, commonly known as "Dollar Cost Averaging". Pick
 an amount that you feel comfortable with putting aside, such as hundred dollars
