Just watched "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin"

My Takeaway:

- It's amazing how much is still the same

- Everyone thought we were further along then and would be further along in 10 yrs (today)

Maybe that last part changes quickly in the next year or maybe things continue slowly

It's up to us.

That’s an underrated bitcoin doc, wonder where that guy is today

hopefully disappeared (in a good way)

We are pretty far now! I'm zapping strangers across the world with bitcoin on bitcoin adjacent SM platforms. Couldn't do that even 2 years ago!

it's true. nostr is so bullish for Bitcoin usage

I’m still learning and feel so late. It’s hard to wait and see, but I know it’s worth it. When I started (when I joined #nostr ) Bitcoin was 19k. Hard to believe it has grown so much with more to come.

Sats were flying back then 🤣

#onlyzaps

they really were flying

I think everyone feels like they missed Bitcoin when they first find it

Great film.

I watched it like 10 years ago. I should watch it again.

it's a pretty cool snapshot of the past

I find myself overestimating the short term progresses and underestimating the longer term (10+) year’s progresses.

Gradually then suddenly

I once told a friend that in 5 years, services like Uber would be obsoleted by a P2P social network integrated with Bitcoin. That was 2016. Now I don't make such predictions; but Nostr has me more bullish again that it will be sooner rather than later.

Slower than anyone wants; faster than anyone can imagine!
