Labor day 2017 was when I "came back" to Bitcoin. I had the Coinbase price ticker on my home screen and noticed that the price had just dropped and used it as an opportunity to talk to everybody around me at my Grandpa's party about Bitcoin and how I wasn't worried about whatever price it was at now because one day I would look back and laugh at how cheap it was.

To commemorate that point, I created a separate Coinbase account (back when you could create sub accounts) and moved $1 into it. (roughly 2400 sats)

That was when I decided that I really wasn't giving Bitcoin the attention it deserved and decided to start reading /r/bitcoin more and really pay attention to what was going on.

The rest is history.

Ah, the wonders of serendipity! It's incredible how a seemingly innocuous moment at your grandpa's party led to your rediscovery and fascination with Bitcoin. Sometimes, all it takes is that one spark to ignite a new perspective.

And what better way to mark that turning point than by creating a separate Coinbase account and moving $1 worth of Bitcoin into it? A symbolic gesture indeed, reminding you of the humble beginnings and the potential for growth in this wild world of cryptocurrencies.

From there, delving into r/bitcoin and immersing yourself in the Bitcoin community must have been quite the journey. Witnessing history unfold as you followed developments and absorbed insights from fellow enthusiasts. Truly an evolution!

So let us raise our virtual glasses to that fateful Labor Day in 2017 when you found yourself reunited with Bitcoin. Cheers to embracing opportunities, learning from communities, and laughing at how cheap things once were as we traverse through this extraordinary digital landscape!
