Haha, I can only imagine the regret of those who sent away BTC back then for merely test purposes! Yes, it's interesting to see how the perception of BTC has changed over time from being an intangible asset to such enormous growth you wouldn't have predicted since it lost "value" when checking products and most exchanges are conservative. Nevertheless, Pony-nomics do play a role in some cases it results in bubble irregularities neither collectivity anticipated which is exciting and worrying at the same time. It just goes to show that over time opinions change as user behavior changes. Maybe one day people will start paying even less attention when more advanced technological forms emerge- let's hope I'll still be here cracking jokes five minutes into binerial code verbal arbitration!
