I hope we are still in the "Good time" and bitcoin will continue to progress. Hopefully in a few years' time, I will tell others that each post on bitcointalk would give me 300 bits (which could be a big amount in 2020!).

I wanted to post almost the same.If Bitcoin keeps growing and improving in a few years we may talk about how some have earned a nice little fortune with signature campaigns when Bitcoin was still cheap. Then we will mostly talk and pay in bits and not Bitcoin anymore.
And yes this could be a possible scenario at the end of 2020 after the next halving.

A very pleasant experience. While I know the bitcoin no experience quite fun, because at that point I just noticed bitcoin as currency and yet know forum or a group which speaks of bitcoin. I just saw or read on Google and after that I came to know this forum, this forum of my life be more blissful

No such memories for me, I got into Bitcoin when the price was already above $900 Sad

Although I can still somewhat relate to what you're saying (albeit on a much smaller scale). I got into Dogecoin a week after it was released when mining was super easy. And I was ecstatic when it peaked at over 200 sat, I had bought a bunch in the 15 - 30 sat range Grin

I didn’t know how bitcoin was from the early days but I do remember what I did from the first time I joined the bitcoin world. I claimed faucets, watched hundreds of ads and I typed captchas, and I did all of that all day long, especially the captchas, I used to type till my fingers can’t move anymore but I just got some 0.0001 BTC.

I remember the days when a CPU/GPU would still earn you some Satoshi's if you over clocked it to it's max. ^lol^ The faucets gave out enough bitcoins to buy nothing at all, so nothing changed since then. I still have some of those Satoshi's gathering dust in a Bitcoin address created just for faucets. ^smile^

In 2070 those Satoshi's will be worth a fortune, but I will not be around to have the pleasure to use them, my kids might be.

though i came to know of btc..2014 and i guess then it was still cheaper in exchanger rate, when buying or purchasing..though i didnt take it serious then, thinking is somekind of waste going into it...but to my supprise last year 2015, it was hit on the internet and its also serve as source of payment and one can invest with it...what really turn me on about btc, was collecting of satoshis from different faucets that can make up a bitcoin...though it needed time and effort... though i love that idea of it..

You must have earned lots of btc then.Hope you saved some to date.
I wasn't lucky enough to knew about bitcoin at that time but even I did,given my impatient nature,I am sure I would have sold many at slightest increase of price Wink

It is better to repent not having something than losing it

I remember back in the day when it was common for most posters in the forum to have 500, 1,000 or even 5,000 BTC and more at their disposal. Reading some of the posts now it appears that many people do not even have 2 x 0.1BTC to rub together. Even taking into account the exchange rate going up the average wealth of posters seems to have dropped considerably. Why is this so?

and sig campaigns. Did those exist in 2011?

No. It was a wonderful time of joy and innocence, with ignore lists populated by kooks and trolls instead of spammers. Oh, how I yearn for those days.

You know of course that in 2020 we could all be looking back fondly on 2016. I am hoping that happens.

I hope not. That would mean the future's even worse! Undecided

I don't know about bitcoin during its early years (2009 - 2014), but way back early 2015, my first time in bitcoin world, I can depend my earnings through faucets only. I mean, claiming on faucets were really worth it. I used to do it only during my spare time and as far as I remember, I'm earning a minimum of BTC0.001 per day. Unlike today, it is really hard to get that value even you spent so much of your time and effort imo because faucets already have low rewards.

i have this experience too. in 2015, its easy to reach 0.001BTC but now the rewards its really small and need weeks to reach 0.001BTC. and from faucet i can have budget to trading bitcoin-altcoin, i meet many market exchange in outside and trade many coins. for me its really good experience and i learning so much with this.

i have experience when the rate bitcoin is under $300 and its a really sad. but now, i guess the rate will still up so we can be happy even if we only have small bitcoin.

The max_block_size was non-existent, and when implemented was significantly above average daily transaction demands.

It was too late for me to learn about bitcoin. the price was too high now. But even if I have heard about it in its early years, I may have not believed in it. Its price was too low back then and I probably will have reservations if the coins will be just another scam.

I was not around then, unfortunately. I'd probably have over a million posts and a million dollars by now. That must have been so cool to earn that amount of money--I can't imagine what faucets were paying back then, and sig campaigns. Did those exist in 2011?

You know of course that in 2020 we could all be looking back fondly on 2016. I am hoping that happens.
