I think at this point we can call class of 2017 OG bitcoiners
Y/n?

No. Can still be an OG nostrich though.
Back in my day, the kids were shilling this garbage called “ICO’s”.
2017 before or after the shameful fork ?
IMHO a "Bitcoin OG" is this:
- one that never touched shitcoins. Yes, this is an important rule. If you started in early years, even in 2009, there were never existed shitcoins those times. So why in the hell you joined later into shitcoins if you already knew what is Bitcoin? Or you were an idiot that didn't understand what is Bitcoin or you were just an idiot. Toxicity is a must.
- one that start mining in the early years, with CPU, GPU, FCPGA etc, the pre-asic era. And another important rule: you still have some BTC from that era, somewhere in a cold wallet and not like those idiots throwing their HDD into the garbage.
- one that used all kind of nodes, wallets and apps from the beginning and knows how to manage them. Not those that were keeping their BTC in MtGox, those are not even Bitcoiners.
- one that studied Bitcoin in details and never was tempted to play around with shitcoins.
- you can still be an OG even after the 2nd halving (pre-LN era). All those joining after LN era, IMHO are NOT OGs.
I hope this satisfy your question.
and here is a meme with OGs:

For sure those pre-SegWit activation & those under $1k
Only if you sold your bitcoin trash coin for Bitcoin.
As a late 2016 er, I'd say no. there has to be a cuf off somewhere. 2015?
I never want to be called an OG. Seems lame and clout seeking.
Y.
Pre-reddit is OG.
Pre-twitter is early.
Pre-nostr is fortunate.
Pre-singularity is alive.
Yes
sure 😁
Only if their current stash, in sats, is larger than what it was in 2017. Otherwise you are just a degen trader like everybody else.
That’s like next decade stuff imo
