I don't use it anymore, but I'm grateful that I did. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had enough background knowledge to realize bitcoin had potential when I first heard about it in 2014.

That's awesome to know. It was amazing that they managed to keep the site online despite all the attacks.

Yeah. I wasn't around in 2008, but read this quote from the Nakamoto Institute.

"Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own."

I had a "Fuck The RIAA T-shirt" and a Napster T-Shirt and bumper sticker. I started using LimeWire, a Gnutella client, after the government shut it down. BitTorrent was the pinnacle of these.

Nice one. I also moved to Limewire for a while too.
