Yes, it's true! On this date 8 years ago in 2008 I became a Bitcoiner, mining, trading and hoarding bitcoins. Damn, it seems like only yesterday. Funny how time flies by so quickly. No, I wasn't using this account back then. I had a different one, but the proof is all documented for any of you naysayers to see.

Here's to another 8 years of being a Bitcoiner.

Yes, the big one prior to Bitcoin was BrightCoin, but its creator was arrested. That's why Satoshi Nakamoto never gave up his ID and went into hiding when Gavin Andressen turned over his vitals to the CIA.

Ask me anything. I know everything pertaining to Bitcoin since I've been here since 2008. I even know theymos' cat's name, but swore to him over dinner back in 2009 that I wouldn't tell anybody.

I was part of Bitcoin Alpha in 2008, testing the protocol prior to the release of Bitcoin Beta than Bitcoin Gamma. Sadly, there wasn't too much testing to do because Satoshi's code was perfect for the times, only later needing modifications.

I helped shaped the way for all those few who later joined in the venture in 2009 prior to the outbreak of 2010.

Thanks, bud. Yes I can answer that question. The reason for the rise and fall of BTC is due to cause and effect, coupled with rogue entities gaming the system mostly in the exchanges, but mostly due to cause and effect and the gaming of the system. Hope that explains it, bud. Any more questions needing answered by this Bitcoin Guru?

Blocks are the glue that hold the Bitcoin protocol together. Of course, not real glue - just a figure of speech. Soon, that 'glue' will be soften so that Bitcoin Blocks can easily adhere to ALL altcoin blocks.

Ask me another, for I'm the Bitcoin Guru.
