This is actually a pretty fun thread, I'll share my experiences as well, being a fairly old member.
Date Registered: November 19, 2013, 02:47:08 AMI had heard about this new cryptographic currency called Bitcoin from a friend of mine back in 2010 (that friend was Len Sassaman btw). I completely dismissed it and told myself I would look at it later.
More than 3 years passed before I made my first Bitcoin wallet & afterwards I also joined Bitcointalk.
Looking back at my first posts, they sure looked quite spammy, to say the least.
Yes, this gem was my first post:
Second one was slightly better, though I kinda cringe at my English skills:
Completely forgot about this, but I immediately did a giveaway on Bitcointalk for a game I'd mistakenly bought for a friend (Postal 2):
2014Anyone remember the whole Dank saga on the lending Boards? Guy tries to create his own bank, called
Dank Bank and receives loans from some Bitcointalk members. He essentially spent all the money on drugs and defaulted on his loans. Afterwards he tries to raise funds to start a music festival, fails of course. He owed another Bitcointalk member (Squall) a huge amount of BTC.
Here's one of my replies on another one of his
loan threads for 0.65 BTC:
Vod definitely remembers this one
Also bought some honey and beef jerky via websites I'd found on this forum, both products were great!
Sent someone a loan of 0.5 BTC
because their website was hacked and they lost all their BTC. Wouldn't do that again, but this guy was very honest and paid everyone back in time.
2015Joined the Crypto-Games signature campaign. Like it or not, that was a pretty significant moment for me.
I could go on, but this post is already getting pretty long & the later years were definitely far less interesting.
