1) Bitcoins:
Properly protected BTC cannot be hacked or stolen from you. It is a modern miracle and one of the most secure possessions you can ever have.
2) Genuine enthusiasm:
I arrived here (in 2011) ~1 month before the first major troll invasion. This community was a paradise of quality discussion, debates, active projects, and tons of optimism. I remember people sharing stories about lack of sleep due to wanting to read, learn, and experience the next developments in Bitcoin's exciting adventure.
Genuine enthusiasm can never be stolen from you, but too often we surrender to the general darkness which seems to be almost everywhere.
Is the future still bright?
Do you remember the last time you were really excited about the Bitcoin project?
...or anything at all?

+1 on both counts.
Although I arrived during that "first troll wave"
Actually, many of us from that boom couldn't stop devouring bitcoin-related material (similar to the stories Roger and Andreas tell about their first weeks/months). Been 3.5yrs for me, and I haven't stopped. Bitcoin is such a complex, deep, and multi-disciplinary topic that it's difficult not to keep thinking about it.
