I don't know what was happening in that year because I never knew about cryptocurrency and besides that, I've been busy with my real jobs. I am sure that people who get involved with cryptocurrency in 2008 will have a lot of money especially if they have much bitcoin and they sold the bitcoin in 2017. I cannot imagine how much money they made from bitcoin, but I am sure that it will be huge money.

It is not easy to get into bitcoin, I had been searching for info for so many years, some of my tech savvy friend got to know about bitcoin as early as 2008, from some anime site they frequent, but they didn't care about it until lately. Think about Winklevoss twin, I believe they are too, merely lucky enough to acquire recently massive bitcoins from the source that came from the FBI, there is a lot of stories associate with how to obtain bitcoin, but not on clearnet.

Nope cause back then in 2008 i don't know bitcoin exist much more use a pc lol. It was later 2009 that ive learned to use a computer but now when i think back if only ive discovered, what bitcoin is i would probably invest in it or earn from faucets but right now bitcoin has given us another chance to ride on the boat once more given that the market is dumping right now it might best to accumulate now than regret later.

I don't think I could buy more bitcoin right now, all the services/exchanges that I could use years ago are now completely gone, and they are not coming back anytime soon.

Honestly I was disappointing, I was only 18 when the crash happened and I told everyone I know that dollar would become valuable once again because of the lack thereof and until they print out more dollars the economy would be weird, for all the foreign countries the dollar value would increase versus their own fiat currency because even USA had lack of dollars for themselves so the other countries would be in dire need for dollars for purchases that were made with dollars (both products brought in from USA plus the oil deal of course) and asked everyone I know to buy dollars right now because value will increase and sell it before they print out more.

However, I was a kid at 18 and had no money and nobody really cared about what I said and nobody actually made a single dollar profit from it, if only people listened to me.

You won't believe there are just so much stereotype personality in this world, and they are also the reason why we have all the financial mess today, they're always so full of themselve, egoistic, but they are also the best speculators that will pump the bitcoin to the moon, surprisingly bitcoin always works against their goal.

No, I didn't know anything in 2008 back then also I didn't even know internet existed until I found it out at 2009 and I was just playing games like what other child did.
I wasn't regret I didn't know Bitcoin back at 2008 because I was still a kid and there is no reason to earn money on that time.

I honestly wasn't really into markets and let it go by as if it wasn't of any importance, especially with how it didn't affect me or the company I was working for at that point. Looking back at the actual damage, and how we potentially could have seen the world economy implode completely, it does makes me feel good about how Bitcoin made me more aware of economics and the governmental system in general.

I have done everything I can to hedge most of my fiat net worth by holding Bitcoin. The drop in price made me convert even more fiat to Bitcoin, and I will continue doing so till the price jumps over $6000 again, and from there very conservatively dollar cost average regardless of what the price under normal circumstances. I'm not buying into a bubbly market.

I'm building up and protecting my own wealth, can't rely on pension funds for a single second with how young I still am. Better safe than sorry.

Think better

In the year 2018 at the beginning of the year many were enthusiastic about cryptocurrency by looking at the results obtained in 2017. The price of crypto coins is high so that many get the benefits at the end of 2017. But at the end of 2018 the condition was very sad because the cryto coins dropped and cause enthusiasm in cryptocurrency is not good.

I think your right by saying that it could be age gap is the reason but I believe that their feeling now would be yours when you reach the same age. This will only possible if you get nothing from your youth days except failure. So i think it would e better to make yourself prepared for what things to come ahead of you.

Same with me, in 2008 I didn't know about Bitcoin. and in 2017 I just got to know him, along with the rapid development of BTC prices at that time. sometimes thought about, why I didn't know him earlier

There was a thread a opened last year here, specifically about the biggest bankruptcy in American History.

(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lehman-weekend-the-biggest-bankruptcy-in-american-history-5028744)

As you can see in the replies there, some of them are fairly young and wasn't aware of the crisis. However, there are members who have seen the negative effects and I would say it again it doesn't look good. And when I thought, after assuring by the company that we will be ok and our jobs our secured, the worst thing happened as I was one of those who have been been laid out and out for jobs. And it took me months to find one and it really teaches me a valuable lessons in life specially it was the like my 2nd child was born so it was really difficult for me to feed my family that time. That I started to save little by little for retirement, it was a rude awakening for those who have witnessed it in their life.

It is definitely a good reading. I think most people simply don't have saving during the time, or they could barely have any saving, I have few of my peers who are so lucky to obtain some of the best scholarship for their education, and it's enough to last the education easily while still have 50% fund leftover for their disposal, but I'm simply amused by how they quickly dry up all the fund within a few years, just for the rent for the utility bills, the fee for all their education need, and well you know it's also the time when they encouraged to begin to pursue their love during youth, I believe they spend most of the fund into someone they love, I had experienced myself that I usually spend crazily just to impress the girl that I like, and it usually work, and I wouldn't control my spending easily after that.

2008 I did not know crypto, getting to know it was 2013 when I heard that steam games accept payments with bitcoin. my feeling is just weird because I don't know what the currency is, because what I know is paypal or credit card. but after 2017 and learn more about bitcoin, it turned out to make me feel even more happy.

I also like that after I became acquainted with bitcoin from 2017 I was very happy because in that year I was able to get a substantial income that made me feel at home using bitcoin and other crypto

The younger generation might not worry about pension funds and saving for retirement, when they start working, because retirement is still something that will happen when they are 60 to 70 years old. Most of them are only concerned about the lack of money to fund their next party or night out.

Older people do not have that luxury of having enough time to start all over to fund for their retirement, so they worry more about these things. Wink

Wow they could enjoy the worry of their pension fund, we could only worry about job security, because retrenchment are so often that you could barely think about retirement, and more over pension.
Talk about forced premature retirement.

It the beginning of 2018 I felt very happy because at that time the price of bitcoin was at its peak, but after several months passed in that year began to occur a very drastic price correction, many bitcoin holders including me felt panic and not a few who did sell panic , my hope at that time was to retain the assets that I had but until now the value of my assets has continued to shrink and I don't know when this correction will take place

2008 was one of the worst year for me. It's the start of the financial crisis and for those who are too young to remember it, it was the year when Lehman Brothers collapsed bringing Wall Street and the world with it. So I believed that it's one catalyst that Satoshi needed to put forward his bitcoin and obviously it was born in 2009. I also lost my job during that year and it was very hard to get one because no one is hiring and everything was in chaos or panic. So for those who don't know or haven't been in a world financial crisis, just save and invest in crypto as a hedge for economic turmoil.

Since after the crisis, I can feel the people around me are becoming extremely money mind, I found them to be money addicted, they would do anything to get money, pay to win in competition, micro transaction, webcam whoring, social network whoring, whatever you can think of, no matter men or women, they are both super materialistic, and I found women are way ahead of men to demand more money out of their every limited time. I didn't blame money for anything, I'm just couldn't accept everytime couple are going to fight day in day out for money money and more money! Every time she will tell me money this and money that, and it soon become a fight.

2008/2009 feel like very special year for me, I could feel all the people around me are very different compare to before, they have a lot of worries, I overheard one of my respected senior talking about their worry about their pension, worry about the future generation, worry about their job security, a lot of worry, but as a millennial I have no clue why they're so worry about them.
To flash back it today, I'm still unable to understand all their worries, it may be the reason of age-gap, the one age group that felt stronger came from the older generation.

Well, I would like you to describe what's your feeling about 2008 and why it is so special compare to any other year like 2009,2010,2011 etc.

Also bitcoin was born in this particular year, the emotion must be so strong that it drive Satoshi to finally decide to do it.

But today that I am old enough to think about my future I also worry about that kind of stuff right now, but I guess it will be different once crypto will go up again.

I heard during 2008 bitcoin still have lower price and many people still do not know about what is bitcoin and what for we use bitcoin, I know about bitcoin last three years and price still at $200, maybe I will be rich person if know about bitcoin during 2008.

Getting to know it was the easy task, to actually acquire some of it are something ridiculously difficult, I was going around and asking my friends, bank about it, no one will tell me more info, nothing at all, when I tell them bitcoin, they will simply ignore it, no matter how many times I remind them, they do not seem to care about it, but I continue to wonder how to get one of that, I believe it is extremely difficult to get into it in 2011, in 2012, only one exchange existed to trade bitcoin, and I didn't know how to deposit money into buying it, I believe only the insider have this special access not for ordinary public, only shark are invited into it, we are all late into the party.

In 2018 the monen was very bad for me, in investing in a history of unforgettable 2018 cryptocurrency, much of my capital went down without saying anything but waiting and waiting. I hope that in the future crypto and Bitcoin will be better.
