True story - First encounter with bitcoin user in 2010

[Marykeller]

I'll tell you guys a true story. Way back in 2010 I was in San Diego vacationing and riding a taxi. The driver told me about bitcoins, urging me to invest in it, that it's the future currency and will be very valuable one day. At that time bitcoin was less than 50 cents. I'd read about bitcoins then and considered it some kind of scam, so I kinda didn't show interest, and he retorted that one day I will remember him and what he told me. He spoke with such conviction that I never forgot that encounter. At times I wonder if that driver was Satoshi Nakamoto himself! The driver was of South Asian descent, perhaps from Punjab region of North India. In fact, he told me "One day I will remember a taxi driver wearing a turban" urging me to invest in bitcoins.  Talk about encountering a bitcoin angel!

The medias and newspaper outlets are brain behind many individuals missed investing in Bitcoin at early stage. Had it been you read no negative remarks on Bitcoin to be some kind of scam, you would have adhere to the taxi driver advice to invest in Bitcoin when it was at 50 cent.

You missed that big opportunity, I know you are not missing the opportunity to buy Bitcoin through DCA strategy cos I don't want to hear in many years to come, you will be telling us another story of yours on how you miss investing in Bitcoin when it was $100k after joining a Bitcointalk forum

He might think that even the taxi driver is a scam lol. The media definitely portrayed bitcoin as a scam and it did not help that at that time pyramid schemes are so common. Maybe that is what most people thought because they did not proper research

Not impossible! Maybe not OP but others might be missing out on the opportunity right now.

Every day, we wake up to an amazing and funny story about Bitcoin. I can’t say you are lying, because to me, it is disrespectful, but this delusional mind of yours is very creative. So, you are telling us you saw Satoshi in 2010 driving a taxi, right? Did you ask yourself this question: how would a taxi driver have the money for all this software? Although everyone is free to say what they wish to say, this story is really amazing. You would be a good storyteller if you could hold it as an occupation. I will also say, next time you see such an angel, try using their advice, maybe you will not regret it again.

It's also strange that you didn't create this thread in the past 15 years of Bitcoin's life. Why share the story now? If I had the same story, I would have revealed it when Bitcoin reached $10,000, because it would be when I would have remembered about the taxi driver talking to me about "something" that went from $0.5 to $10,000. Before $10,000 (and before the news talked about it), I would have definitely forgotten about it.

I don't want to believe or doubt Op story. It has no effect on the market anyway, but we can not blame him for sharing this late because the account is a newly registered account. Perhaps, he found out about this forum lately and still decided to share his encounter with a taxi driver who had head turban and can see the future. Lol

But you did get at least a coin?

Even if it was not in 2010, you did start taking it seriously a few years later, right?

Don't be surprised if he has none. You know what doubt and procrastination can do. He may think that was higher bitcoin can go the following year and feel it's already late to invest. What if it continues like that until today that we are hitting ATH?
