There wasn't many podcasts back then, but I read a lot of the stuff on the Nakamoro Institute. There were dozens of us.

I remember watching the Roger ver and Richard heart debates. Lol.

So strange to think about Bitcoin without lightning and nostr.

I remember talking to Elizabeth Stark about atomic swaps on the lightning network before segwit. I was excited about lightning before it was implemented.

Where does the time go?

This place is always exciting.

I know. The lightning torch seems like it was a few weeks ago. 🀣

I cleaned out my closet and found this sticker on an old laptop. It was sold by nostr:nprofile1qqsfy229w70e8lgtxavlz9t78k06yrel6fxyhreteafqet8kfxhhwmgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpr9mhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uwz2pcj except I was a cheap bastard and didn't want to pay for more than one sticker so I printed this one and cut it out.

This is actually a humble, boot-leg sticker. πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜…

Legendary.

I got sidetracked by crypto unfortunately back then

I was also, off and on. Usually I was just wanting to outpace Bitcoin. I was greedy, even though part of me knew Bitcoin was the one.

I traded some crapto before I knew any better, but didn't losr much...Except I sent all my bcash to the wrong address and lost it all.

I remember hearing people talk about selling their home for bitcoin back then. thought they where nuts. turned out to be a good idea

Still is.

Sadly only since 2017

Why sadly? That's long time. So early.
