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?

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.

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...

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.

This haiku is called "Make the Front of the Boogieboard Look Like the Front of a Boogieboard".

Waves crash, push me down
Hold my breath until its past
Pumps the life juices

I don't usually post in this thread, but I accidentally clicked on a link from Omj1014's account. Seeing my stats, I just need to save this somewhere as a memento. Next week, I'll be on the forum for eight years, and the amount of time I spend online exceeds the number of days in a year. It seems my online activity always parallels my offline life. I've learned a lot about life by clicking on this forum from a Google link. I just need to be grateful for that link.



thank you all

Death had a Near Chuck Norris Experience....

Chuck Norris didn't die. He simply volunteered to train the angels in kickboxing.

A legend of the TV screen is gone. A few days ago i watched one of his movies and when i heard of his death i was moved and touched that he is now a memory. Movie producers will definitely miss him for the roles he played when he was alive and young. A great actor and one of the best amongst his generation of actors. We will surely miss him because he gave laughter and enjoyment to many who watched his action movies. His lagecies will be remembered while his gone
