I will always be a Class of 2011 bitcoiner at heart. I came here looking for an alternative to the dollar, and immediately recognized the potential.

I stayed for digital gold, which was easy to grasp. I was already using gold & silver as savings & money long before Bitcoin existed.

Wall Street, billionaire investors, nation state Bitcoin adoption - none of this excites or inspires me.

I draw inspiration from normal people using Bitcoin to pull themselves out of debt, or to escape government tyranny. People who use better money to work around the existing systems that hold them down.

I'm glad there are people who think about the much bigger picture, but that's me.

Forever a #Bitcoin pleb. 🧡

Well said, and hats off to your insight and intelligence in embracing bitcoin so early. I too was using silver and gold in 2011 but was too distracted, ignorant, or stupid to adopt bitcoin until much, much later!

You're here now, and that's all that matters. ✌️

Same energy

I feel the good energy, and enjoy that vibe as well. I recently saw a post from a Primal OG who created a list of influential people and thanked them for their contributions to the bitcoin ecosystem. Larry Fink was on the list. It made me said. Are we still plebs if we sold our soul to become rich? If bitcoin becomes incredibly successful and hits network effect around the world but is co-opted by the existing financial power structure it will be a huge disappointment for me.

People will have to struggle with this as Bitcoin makes them wealthier. Not always easy.

Money for enemies. You didn’t sell your soul just bc you hold the same money.

Bitcoin allows one to be the change they want to see in the world

Well, good for you. You are not exactly humble, but I guess you earned it 🤝

I feel so stupid about myself when unread this. I must have heard about bitcoin around the same time. I wrote my first blogpost about Bitcoin in 2011. I didn’t buy any till years later. On MtGox of all places 😂

Anyways. Better late then never.
