I started with bitcoin via SR, I was on the freenode IRC back in 2013. I got into trouble and when that all finished up I was lost and homeless until 2015, had some decent luck with Steemit, and since then been working towards developing my skills as a Go programmer. I only went into shitcoins because, quite honestly, I felt there was no niche for me to go into in Bitcoin anyhow, and I was suspicious of the entire bitcoin twitter scene, because I was already suspicious of twitter.
Those days are over now, I arrived as twitter was rotting and the second big crash since the last one that wiped me out at bitfinex.
I always considered Bitcoin to be the main one, the dev space was just too tight and fractious at that time. Since 2022 it has become a fully self standing thing and the community big enough I can bring what I learned to work on my part of the great work.
