People used to talk about "losing sleep thinking about BTC all the time", and it wasn't just about money.
We wanted to set people free.
In 2010/2011 Bitcoin was really exciting!
Are you excited now about the Bitcoin project/economy?
Why or why not?
If people were exited in 2010, then they have even more reason to be exited in 2016
6 whole years have passed and Bitcoin is still dominating conversation when it comes to the disruption of this archaic financial system that has literally turned "money" into debt.
6 years ago, if you were to mention anything Bitcoin related to anyone in the financial sector, you would have been ostracized and made the butt of everyone else's jokes. 6 years later Bitcoin is finally being taken seriously. Bank, after Bank has publicly expressed their concern that bitcoin may one day by the catalyst of the extinction of the current financial system.
Senators have come out and delivered hours of speech about bitcoin. George Osborne, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer publicly gave Bitcoin his vote of confidence by creating a £10m cryptocurrency research initiative in 2015
So i think bitcoin is far more exiting today than it ever was in 2010, because today in 2016 Bitcoin is not looked at as some co-op science project.. it's being looked at as the solution to the current issues that have been caused by the world's central banks
