yeah my first and second email still there and active.
I used my library in 1993 maybe in 1994. My buddy across the street worked at comp usa. He set up a nice system in his house in 1996. I used a friend's in his bank he was an owner and vp of the bank.
I got one in my house in 2005. A Mac mini.
I modded and sold a few hundred Mac mini's on ebay and I left the first feedback on ebay to Newegg.
But I got in to computers in 1975 an IBM 360 then joined the Navy in 1978-1983 As a Data processing tech.
Punch cards.
Try fixing a punch card reader in high seas in the pacific. Very very very long ago. and far away.
First computer at work Apple II (early eighties?) First personal computer -Performa (Apple)-1993, RAM-4mb (!), storage 120mb First www use-1993- our IT gal came by the lab and announced that there is this cool new tool. First video- Shoemaker Levy 9 comet colliding with Jupiter in 1994.

My first ever OS was a windows 95. I remember my first experience with programming was windows 98 and purebasic. I made a trivia game.
GWBASIC.. didnt even need disk drives it was in ROM on the 1st IBM PCs lol although a timex sinclair 1000 with 2k RAM and BASIC was prolly my 1st introduction to programming.

First PC was a sinclair ZX81 (If you could call it a PC}. Ridiculous membrane keyboard and 1K RAM. You could get a 16K RAM expansion pack which plugged in the back but would often glitch when you pressed too hard on the keyboard. For recording your programs you needed to use a conventional cassette recorder and tune the volume to the programs you would write. Awful in so many ways but was a lot of fun for a while. It ran BASIC (Beginners All Symbolic Instruction Code). I did use an early 8080 machine at school where we had to program it in hexadecimal, tedious to say the least but you learned alot. Followed that with a BBC Micro and then a Vic 20 and commodore 64. Wound up going through an Apple phase with an Apple classic all the way through the Apples as they lost their way untill eventually making the switch to PC on a celeron 300 and learned about overclocking. Prices for upgrades on Macintoshes were always far more expensive than equivalent upgrades to Intel based PCs and that eventually pissed me off enough to make the switch. First experience with the web must have been around 93? First dial-up modem was a 9600 baud rate US robotics modem (mainly used to download a porn image which would take at least 15 mins if not longer) It was an exciting time with breakneck speed in innovations.

buddy enough.
Almost like he’s been stuck all weekend. I guess this is a side effect of the ETFs but it also shows that retail is still mostly on the sidelines and not trading this market. I’m not sure how much longer that will remain true as I think we’re all expecting a fomo market over the next year. It will be interesting to see how that materializes.

Great visualization of the rewards of hodling. Why would you ever trade this thing? - Think of the x-axis as the date you purchased bitcoin. - The y-axis is how long you held that bitcoin. - Longer description in the source.

This is quite interesting, even if it is just 1/10 of 1% (180 million USD). More will follow. "The state of Wisconsin is investing in Bitcoin - The Wisconsin Pension Fund, ranked as one of the most fiscally sound in the nation, took bold action this year. It invested in Bitcoin.The investment industry is pretty amazed that a pension fund this early in the introduction of the Bitcoin ETF came on board. They expected it might take several years before there would be institutional involvement with Bitcoin investing." src: https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/david-krause-on-the-state-of-wisconsin-investing-in-bitcoin/

Man who stares at charts (and stars, too...)

We didn't even have internet by this time, about the early 1990's, which was installed later in 1994 at my parent's house, when i was already operating Cubase Audio (4 Stereo tracks!) via mouse and keyboard in Windows, on Intel 486 or early pentium (75 or 90 mHz) CPU. 30 years...
I used Cubase on the Atari. MIDI only though... a different era. Same here, but in the Studio where i was working at that time, they were using Emagic. For mastering we used Pro Tools on a Mac. My first computer was a C64-II, however, this was where i was first encountering desktop environments (GEOS) long before windows, but i didn't know about Macintosh by that time at all. I collected punch cards in my pre school age, and when i went to school later, i was visiting my dad after school in the datacenter, where i got embraced by the sound of IBM's mainframe computers while staring at walls full of tape machines spinning back and forth, back and forth... First PC was a sinclair ZX81 (If you could call it a PC}. Ridiculous membrane keyboard and 1K RAM. You could get a 16K RAM expansion pack which plugged in the back but would often glitch when you pressed too hard on the keyboard. For recording your programs you needed to use a conventional cassette recorder and tune the volume to the programs you would write. Awful in so many ways but was a lot of fun for a while.
AFAIR these things where called "home computers" back then? IBM has born the "Personal Computer" term later, if i'm not wrong. In this era it was Commodore 64 vs. Schneider CPC in my area. We were three kids with computers at age 12, in one classroom. Extremely lucky, only one older kid with a computer two grades higher.
