By the By today is my 8th Year Anniversary of finding out about Bitcoin! April 13th, 2013!
I have memories of buying my first bitcoin in April 2011, and I just searched my email to see if I could fit the exact date. 27th of May OK, close enough. Wiring $500 to MtGox. Sketchy as frig. I just don't have my original forums account here, someone nicked it.

I'll provide my "story" as well, as I pulled a Bawb as well and "took a little off the top" today.
Joined this forum 11/26/2013 after buying my first coin a month prior in October. Bought the "top" at $1,000 back then, then continued to buy all the way down haha to $190. Then I stopped, thinking oh man, what did I get myself into. But never did stop believing.
What a wonderful opportunity this has afforded me, as I just took early retirement at age 50 and bought a second small home in Oregon and will be caddying part time starting around the end of this summer at Bandon Dunes.
What a majestic use of this invention, it propelled me to be able to step back and get out of the rat race at least ten years earlier than I would have been able to do without it.
So glad a friend emailed me an article about it at work one day. I remember sending him .15 of a coin as a thank you, at the time, this would have been a $100 gift. I do think he still has this $9k+ gift today.
Love reading all the success stories and am definitely trying to keep my stash as robust as I can, and will continue to sell the dips and buy at the top going forward haha

I just don't have my original forums account here, someone nicked it. You're not wrong - I had to send money to MT Gox in 2013 via a company called "Technocash" It was like whack-a-mole - Mark would orgaise a new way to send money and they would close them down just as fast. So glad I took the risk.... Edit: https://www.paulmonsted.com/technocash

Barely broke ATH and everyone is talking about cashing out..
Naaaah not cashing out bro.... Bitcoin is and will be safety against inflation, many should realize Because Bitcoin applies its monetary policy every 10 minutes.

I just don't have my original forums account here, someone nicked it. that should have been about 50 btc, give or take aka $3mil today. I then went back and spent a bit over $2.5k total over the next 2 weeks. I had 168 btc total back then. I do not have 168 btc now though. I learnt my Hodl lessons in trading. Easy to make btc in a bear market, hard when it turns bullish, as it did in 2013. I am doing well though, your estimate isn't far off. I've sold off ~$250k worth between 2017 and today.

Bitcoin is not only Hedge against Inflation but also against unstable governments and Police states but We should also remember that Inflation is not always bad it is also sign of Growth.

Wow, that's great to hear. I had 21 BTC at one point, then kept liquidating along the way, partly due to debts, partly due to holidays. Today i have less than 1 BTC but it has been a fun ride. I am debt free with a home already paid for, cant say i did too badly, but there is always that lingering thought of "What if...". Fantastic to see someone who actually harnessed the full potential of bitcoin! More power to you!

I used to send $$$ to Gox, Mark K. owes me.
Here's my birthdate here: Date Registered: July 02, 2013, 02:30:41 PM
I tried to mine some litecoin, never got a block. I was already late to the game on hardware to mine BTC. I knew about BTC a year before, but better late than never.
