I can only measure my experience through what I have witnessed. I first began researching btc heavily in mid 2015. Finally committed capital in 2016.

Back then reading about the ln as something that was soon to be rolled out was amazing.

I ran a ln node in 2018 off a casa raspberry pi and it was clunky af. Syncing chains took forever.

To be here now and seeing the growth of not only btc, but the lightning network as a whole, and now Nostr and the incorporation of LN… wow. It just blows my mind how far we have come.

And if the past 7 years tell us anything, it’s this…. by the time 2030 rolls around I don’t think any of us will quite believe what’s been accomplished.

Thank you to the builders, the dreamers, the memers, the s-posters, the plebs and the entire community.

I don’t say or write all that much about btc anymore. I prefer to listen these days as the vast majority of the people here on Nostr are far more knowledgeable than I.

And I am grateful for that. 💜🫂
