First I heard of Bitcoin that I remember was December 2017… my brother said “Bitcoin is at 20 thousand!” I said, “is that a lot?” 😂

A little over a year later in 2019 I looked at spot price out of curiosity and it was at 5k usd. I thought for some reason I should look into it more but put it off (it’s daunting). Six months later spot had run up over 10k and it had my attention.

I finally sat down and started learning about Bitcoin in fall 2019 and started accumulating. Really got sucked into the Bitcoin vortex from then on. Good times.

I knew it in the days you could mine it, almost few months after it was launched. In less than couple hours mining you would have 1BTC. It was worth less than a dolar. In the days it was more of a solid proof of concept of decentralized crypto currency. Wished I held the BTCs I've mined. But then those days there was nothing really you could do with it or know as for its future.
