i remember a guy with the screen name 'genjix' preached bitcoin to a community of poker players back in 2010, encouraging them to invest.  nobody took him seriously, including me.  fuck me.

Those who thought of building business around bitcoin are mostly millionaire today. Poor me. I missed the train... I'm still running to catch it before it take up speed.

I believe Bitcoin Releases Version 0.3 (July 2010) was the first such Slashdot story.  I can't speak for Jeff but this is when I first started playing with Bitcoin.


Hmm.... now you have me wondering if that was the first article I saw as well Smiley I'm pretty sure it was the one I posted though. Obviously, I didn't pay nearly enough attention to BTC back then for sure either way!

I recently read that Jeff Garzik was introduced to Bitcoin by the same Slashdot article that I was. I'm guessing that it was the introduction to Bitcoin for many folks in the tech community, actually.

Anyway, figured I'd start a tribute thread to the article, because.... well, why the hell not?

So, here it is in all its glory:
http://www.slashdot.org/story/11/02/10/189246/online-only-currency-bitcoin-reaches-dollar-parity

Edit: See thread below, there was an even earlier thread on /.

Note to self: Next time BTC is at dollar parity, I will buy the lot of them!
