I've only been around since December 2017. I call myself toxic maxi but I'm a newcomer compared to those who came before and laid the groundwork through the early years to get Bitcoin where it is today. All this current shit would be nothing without the decades of development and then the constant monitoring and tweeking of the underlying protocol, the tools, wallets, exchanges, and UI that drew in people like you and I. We are standing on the shoulders of giants. This is changing the World. It is truly exceptional to be around in these early days. Stack harder and be grateful every day to those that fought to keep Bitcoin alive. We are winning 🔥

good take. The giants needed us too, though. Many of them are gone for various reasons and needed us to pick up the banner after thr block-size war. Bitcoin could have died then, but enough of us rejected b-cash and became hardened in our resolve through the 2018-2020 bear market and the 2021 winter. I'm glad to be a part of the story.

Historically speaking, all first decade adopters will be viewed as the monetary visionaries/pioneers.

I feel very lucky to have fallen down the hole when I did

Me too. it was all because a sports radio guy talked about it every day in the fall of 2017 and because all the shitcoiners were buying up the graphics cards, which I needed for a video editor upgrade.

I had been a lightweight gold guy until then.

It hits you when it's supposed to 🤙

I am newer than you I fell thankfull too.

You're early, stack hard 🤙

Wasn’t early to Bitcoin but early to nostr 🫡

We're all still early 🤙
