The impact of Bitcoin an be felt by how many lives it has affected.
From the imaginations of one man, backed up by targeted actions. It was both a brilliant invention and a bold one and it led to this forum which has connected Bitcoin enthusiasts from all over the world.
I'm also honored to have been a part of it for a little part of the 10 years and looking forward to the next ten.

Happy number ten, BTCT

Happy 10th year anniversary bitcointalk.

Congratulations everybody!

And I was here, we did it 

For 10 more years! Congratulations!

Happy 10th year BTCitcointalk!

I'm glad to be part of it. To be honest, I never thought I would be spending a lot of time in this forum.

You really have a great timing there. Exactly just when it was created even the seconds LoL. Anyways Happy 10th, and goodluck judging the entries on your contest.

Let's celebrate !!!

The Bitcoin Forum is 10 years old today! The forum, originally a part of bitcoin.org, was created by Satoshi and Sirius in 2009, Bitcoin's infancy. In the first few years, the Bitcoin community was both incredibly small and concentrated almost entirely to this forum; by the end of 2010, there were only 995 users with any posts, and this was the Bitcoin ecosystem. I have fond memories of reading every single post anyone made in these early days: IIRC, it was only sometime in 2011 when I was forced to give this up due to the volume of posts. Over the course of 10 years, Bitcoin exploded, altcoins appeared, the community expanded beyond just this forum to a large degree, and an awful lot happened here on the forum. But we're still operated with much the same moderation philosophy as our first admins Satoshi and Sirius 10 years ago: create a "territory of freedom", and let humanity happen.

I'm honored to be your head administrator, but I'm only a tiny part of the forum. The forum is and has been a collaboration between thousands of people, including:
 - Posters, who make the forum a forum
 - Reporters, merit-givers, and scam-fighters, who make the forum (somewhat) sane
 - Moderators and admins of the past & present, who keep things running smoothly
 - Donors, sponsors, and advertisers of the past & present, who fund our operations
 
Thank you, everyone, for your continuing contributions to this legendary forum! Let's try to somehow make the next 10 years even more interesting than the last.
