8761 hours on the forum... that means I'm not quite a master yet. 51 and 2/3 days left to go.

I’m on 246 days, it’s crazy really when you think about it. If the average lifetime is 82 years or something, we have spent a not insignificant amount of our life on bitcointalk. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not, buddy.

I'm better than both of you

Personally, I don't consider it a waste of time or time poorly spent. If I could choose between playing online games, watching TV or some other modern activity, I think I chose well.

Looking at those numbers is a bit of a wake up call, isn't it? But Lucius, I think you hit the nail on the head. We all choose how to spend our lives, and there’s something special about the years we’ve spent learning and growing together here. 393 days is a massive commitment, but if it brought knowledge and community, I’d say it’s a life well lived, not just time logged in.

@cAPSLOCK: I probably should have said 'in a conservative Reformed institution'.

The institution I attended was Protestant and had a mild evangelical lean, and they would be moderately conservative in their doctrinal stances. So, in that regard, it would be certainly considered "reformed" theologically.

That said, my own doctrinal positions would not necessarily line up one for one with theirs.  My personal positions on many points of argument between various denominations and streams of Christianity is quite loosely held and often agnostic.  In fact, I hold a very small core set of beliefs firmly, and those would be most accurately represented by the first creed.

My faith is at its root experiential, philosophical and not really conforming to a set of doctrines outside of what I point to above at the core.

@cAPSLOCK: That's interesting. It sounds like a Wesleyan-Arminian stance, in which you moved away from rigid systematic theology toward a more lived, mystery-oriented faith. I can imagine someone sitting in a seminary classroom, wrestled with the Westminster Confession or the 39 Articles, and decide to simplify back to the Apostles' Creed. That reminds me of a Moravian focused tradition.  

PS - Do you remember Kimberly Lawson, Richard's wife, at The Garage?

I have always felt an affinity for the Quakers and for Charismatics for that matter, probably the opposite extreme in the mystical Christian experience.

I do not know the people you mentioned.

Okay, Richard and Kimberly owned The Garage music-venue on 7th St where I'm from...  Thought you had played there at times.

I played the Stevens Center.

It hasn't been a bad way to get an education and make a buck.  I often wonder if I'm over or underpaid for the effort I put into this website.  If given the option to go back in time, I would probably just buy Bitcoin and never sign up for this site, or leave the moment it stopped being majority Libertarian participants.  Still, great memories.  In that golden age from 2011-2016 this place was probably the best website one could participate on.  Then suddenly, everything changed...

That is super cool! Very impressed!

The Stevens Center is a premier downtown 1,300-seat performing arts theater owned by UNCSA hosting frequent Orchestra, Wind ensemble, Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Classical, Folk, Jazz, Country, Electronic, and Blues band concerts, and where major touring Broadway shows stop and where high-end gala events are held.

What music genre/subgenres did you/do you specialize in?

My thoughts went similarly.  My time spent on this forum was well worth it; not only in finding out how to bitcoin but how to increase my stash when bitcoin mining wasn't as lucrative and how to hodl my stash when things seemed bleak and bitcoin died, died, died, forked and died again.  You guys provided support, advice and the occasional bat-slappening when required.  As an added bonus, I have become acquainted with some interesting people with varied backgrounds all because of this one commonality - one seemingly insignificant thread to most of the world yet it had such a huge impact on mine.  I can't think of anything else like in my life aside from maybe The Six Million Dollar Man series.  My number says 317 days but that doesn't include time spent doing my homework for the thread.  I'm going to get a tattoo - "NO REGERTS!"

I had it in my thinkenings (or maybe I dreamt it? while a little fairy was waiving her backwards red wand at me) that perhaps you had learned (or at least honed such skills) haberdashery in these here parts?

yeah it went from 700 or 800 late 2016 to 19000 and hodl turned out to be the way to go.

commercial mining took over for btc.

gpus picked up for a while then eth and mr v killed off gpu mining.

and buy and hodl took over for the industry.


guys like me stuck with mining and whale realized they could sucker people into thinking that for price there still is a four year cycle.

I wrote thousands of thread and posts on how to mine and build rigs.

all pretty much done and gone.

its sad in a way.

oh well.

Mining returns have been so bad over the years compared to holding, even with me providing free electricity and supplementing with sales of silver/gold/platinum coins there were people (probably trolls) who called mining returns a scam. Certainly over the years holders were the winners, beaten by only those who traded the four year cycle.
