Howdy all!

My names James, im 34 and legitimately have just signed up to these forums im just wondering what some of the original bitcoiners think about BTC and the world today...

I recently watched the netflix doco Banking on Bitcoin which gave me a fascination and curiosity about its illusive creator Satoshi which lead me to these forums, I find it amazing that i can to this day see his profile on the site and more surprising see that many of the original founders of this forum still regularly sign in and are active in this community, as i am a complete newbie to this whole thing i was wondering what you the original members think about bitcoin today? did you expect it to reach highs over the $20,000 mark? and what do you see in the future for BTC do you see BTC becoming more main stream or do you expect an altcoin to take the reigns?
 
I honestly wish i had more foresight i remember years ago buying some bitcoin to purchase some stuff on the darkweb never thinking it would amount to much more then what it was only to find out years later that i had wasted a fortune on some small trinkets and gambling websites, i love the fact everything is decentralised and that governments cant touch your funds but as for BTC itself i dont like the delays presented with moving funds.

Also whats your thoughts on Satoshi do you believe he was worried about governments and went into hiding or do you think hes secretly around smiling at his creation proud of what its become?

I really am curious to see what peoples thoughts and opinions are as to the future and look forward to your replies.
