On the 2nd November ten years ago I registered on bitcointalk. I was fascinated about the idea of decentralization and that everyone could be a part of the network. At that time I was just 16 years old and liked bitcointalk on the one hand because there was an incredible amount of meme shitposts and giveaways (bitcoin giveaways and not shitcoin drops like today), but on the other hand I was fascinated that random strangers on the internet would basically answer every question that could potentially arise about bitcoin.
I didn’t see those glorious times, if we talk about the forum ten years ago (with the exception of shitposts, which I also had some connection to at the beginning of my journey on the forum 
). So even then there were already a lot of technically knowledgeable users?Over the years bitcointalk has change a bit and has grown into a more professional platform, even if at the same time it has lost some very great minds (and found some).
My wish for the next ten years would be that we can keep this platform as it is and at the same time are able to preserve all this knowledge that was stored here for the last years (since for now it mostly depends on active, well educated users answering questions).
My wish for bitcoin however is that we can have as much adoption as possible since even if not everyone thinks the same, for me this is the most important step for the long term success of a decentralized payment system.
I would like to see more and more "active, well educated users". The stronger the BTC-community is, the better it is for "the long term success of a decentralized payment system".
What a coincidence to have 826 activity and 628 merits when celebrating an anniversary. Strange indeed. Congrats.🥳
It’s strange that after 100 years this account has not yet become a Legendary. Although it’s obvious that it’s a matter of long pauses.I am confident that OP will reach this level over the next 10 years.
Good luck to him in this and congratulations on his little anniversary on the forum.
