When Bitcoin was called a scam, a ponzi-scheme, a joke? Does anyone remember back in 2013: The greater fools that ended up paying $1200/BTC? Or the time several million BTC just appeared out of nowhere and the entire system had to be restored?
I remember that very well, because I joined the community just before the "HYPE" after a friend of mine told me that he bought 100 crypto coins called Litecoin at 3$ - I was like "dafuq is this shit?"
After a couple of days of reading and informing myself about what Bitcoin is I started mining some altcoins with my crappy Nvidia which at the time was struggling getting more than ~20 KH
One or two weeks later Bitcoin exploded and I was like "damn why I didn't know about this back in 2010 or something". My friend who could made 1000% profit with his Litecoins waited for too long to sell, because he tought that china will bring them to 100$ per coin and eventually the throne will be held by Litecoin... Well everyone knows what happened and my friend sold his coins almost at the bottom at 6$ per LTC, but the important thing is he made a profit
I remember asking him "For how long do you know about Bitcoin?" and he told me "Well I heard about it back in 2011" and I wanted to beat the shit out of him for not getting in early and most importantly for not telling me about it... SO YES I REMEMBER
