I bought my first Bitcoin this past July 26th......just 5 days ago.
For the most part I don't gamble. I'm simply too unlucky at that sort of thing for it to be fun. Playing around with Bitcoin these last few days however has been a blast!
I'm not sure why I decided that a cryptocurrency crisis was the right time to jump in and work my way through a fairly involved learning curve, but I'm glad I did. It's been a roller coaster of excitement.
