I haven't heard of Bitcoin in 2011 or even years after that but it seems obvious that the Bitcoin culture during those very early years was very technical. Those were probably the years when one appreciates Bitcoin for what it actually is, for what Satoshi has actually intended it for as per its whitepaper. It was also during those times when discussions, on this forum, for example, were rich, detailed, informative, and so on. Perhaps it was the time when Bitcoin was still the currency of the geeks.

Now, Bitcoin is becoming more attractive than ever, but, sadly enough, not because it is Bitcoin but because BTC is worth $47,000 apiece.

I'm obviously not a Bitcoiner in 2011, but one thing's for sure— a lot of the things back then had to be done via command line. We're lucky that 14 years from then, we now have lots of available wallets with great UIs/UXs along with privacy platforms such as mixers and coinjoins.

There's a whole eco-system rising mainstream now, how were things different back in the day? Were there some unrecognizable practices that no longer go on today? What are some cool throwback things? Has navigating the dark web changed with respect to how the blockchain is navigated (is it as anonymous now with ppl including feds being able to track things the way they can)?
