I'm 10!

[minifrij]

Ok, I'm not 10, but today marks ten years (and one day ) of me originally joining this forum! Which means you're getting a bit of a soppy post for my birthday

Coincidentally I also recently turned 24 years old irl, which has caused me to have a bit of a remenisce about everything that's happened over the last decade or so. I really owe both this forum and crypto as a whole a ton, as the time I spent in this community has really dictated a large portion of my adult life.

Not only have I built up a fairly nice little nest egg as a result of crypto, which has given me the freedom to do things I never imagined I'd be able to, but I actually discovered my love of web development through crypto (s/o minifrij.pw) which wound up being my career for my entire adult life thus far.

Even outside of that, the sheer number of memories I have because of this forum is insane. Meeting up with the TCC in Manchester and Amsterdam, playing Rocket League and CSGO with Lauda, Hhampuz and others, spending hours chatting with people on Slack, Discord, Crypto-Games, etc.

While I think this part of my life has comfortably passed, I'll always be able to look back on it extremely fondly. Without this forum my life would be completely different, and I really owe so much to it.

Special shout outs to Lauda, Lutpin, Accountant, Zepher, the Collectibles subforum and the CG mod team. Without you guys, none of this would be real.

Thanks for everything!

You just woke up, so you haven't really been here for ten years.

You just woke up, so you haven't really been here for ten years.

Having an account for 10 years and being active for 10 years are 2 different things, but the OP is still correct.

Congrats on 10 years @minifrij!!

It turns out that minifrij is one of the oldest forum participants who is still active?

You say that you just turned 24 years old. So, when you created this account, you were 14 years old? How was it possible for a teenager to become interested in a crypto and bitcoin at a time when it was not as popular as it is now? I'm really interested in this.

It's great to hear when crypto made it possible not only to speculate on the price, but also awakened a new hobby and made it possible to get a useful profession.

Not only for you, bitcointalk means a lot and has changed the lives of many. Probably, the forum also owes you something for your contribution over the years.

Don't forget to put in the profile, in the age column, instead of N/A 10 years. Congratulations.

[CYBER_COWBOY]

Congratulations minifrij for 10 years and I hope it will be many more years to come. 

So you started to get interested in bitcoin when you was 14 since you 24 now, wow that's amazing, I wish I was smart like you when I was younger.

Again, congratulations and have a great Saturday. (Sadly I can't merit you because I don't have any)

Hey congratulations on your 10th anniversary on this amazing forum, and I'm truly amazed to know that you just turned 24! I'm very surprised that how a teenager who was just 14 years old got interested in a forum related to a crypto-currency which wasn't that much popular in those days. But, anything can happen because people are different and they have their own abilities, and you're are one of the examples of those people.

Your words can show that how good days you spent here on this forum with all those amazing members of the forum. I know that those memories can't be explained with words, but I really can understand that those memories are one of the best memories of one's life, especially that of playing those online multiplayer games together. I warmly congratulate you once again on completing 10 whole years on this forum, and you truly deserve such respect.

I would also wish you best of luck to have better life with the help of web-development because that profession is a very nice one, and earning potential for web-developers is quite higher these days. You just made me remember one of my memories that I spent while playing multiplayer games with my friends, I know that we can't bring those teenage days again, but still the memories are living with us and they touch us very deeply in the form of emotions.

At 14, football was everything for me though still I play football regularly.
Congrats man. 10 years!! Such a long time here. I'm getting less interest on the forum these days, can't imagine to be here after few years.

This is great. 10 years is such a long time. I could have imagined myself on this forum 10 years ago.
Your story is very inspiring too.
I would like to ask you where you see yourself 10 years from now in the crypto space. You may or may not answer but I am just curious to know.
Congratulations once again.

minifrij - congratulations on your long journey on the bitcoin forum. You have been here for a long time regardless of whether you are always actively posting every year or maybe only active to read something. But that's not a problem - I applaud your dedication over the past 10 years as an active user on the bitcointalk forum.

I don't know how long I'll be active on the bitcointalk forum - but I'm currently only on my way to my first 3 years. Once again - congratulations to you.

It's really crazy that he thought so much in his teenage years and made a life changing decision that not many of us get to make. Which has now given him a freedom to live a beautiful life. I could have thought about playing sports at the age of my 14, never having the knowledge to be interested in Bitcoin. So I respect his talent and effort.

Congratulations to @minifrij. I hope your ten year journey on this forum was one of the best times of your life as you had many friends.

[drwhobox]

10 years in the forum.
24 years old
Started in the forum when you were 14 years old.

You have a legendary account.
I believe you were able to stash a lot of bitcoin too.

Nonetheless, everything about you and bitcointalk sounds amazing. Very well done mate.

Congratulations on this long time achievements and happy birthday to you, i wish i was also oppotuned to have known bitcoin over decades now, well i still count it a privilege because it was never too late for me to know bitcoin and join the forum, this place indeed is a large community whereby you met alot of people and learn from them, i wonder how many people were still active till date on the forum as at that time who were your colleagues from the names you mentioned, our own era never met the likes of them but i believe your time with people like Lauda among others will forever be appreciated.

Congratulations on your new age and for clocking a decade on bitcointalk, you're among the last men standing of your era 

[SmartGold01]

Welcome back to the forum and also a big congratulations on hit 10 years here, I know the forum will be a bit strict than before and after so many years of being away you need to get rinse yourself with the new rules and regulations like 10 years isn't a 10 days so lot has changed in the forum. But however, I believe you can scale through anyway since you aren't startup members like us.

Again welcomed back and congratulations to you!

[Nwada001]

Congratulations on clocking 24 years of age and also 10 years here on the forum! Two remarkable celebrations all in the same season
You are indeed older than most of us here, including me, as I could consider myself a kid at the time of your arrival here in the forum, but not by age. I hope to celebrate something of this nature in the near future, as I am finding the forum fun and learning every day from it.

[owlcatz]

Hey buddy good to see you back here!

I know what you mean now everything was so different back then, but so many awesome memories as well. I'm very happy to say I got the chance to meet you and have a beer in person that time. That was quite a night!! 💥💥💥

Keep in touch, and congrats I think my 10 year is next April! 😂

Being so young and into it so young, I'm glad you're able to make things work out for you!

Thanks again for the memories, You're right there precious and from a completely different time in Bitcoin history from how it feels anyway.

While I think this part of my life has comfortably passed, I'll always be able to look back on it extremely fondly. Without this forum my life would be completely different, and I really owe so much to it.

First I will give you Congratulation for spending a much time in this forum. I feel impress about this couple of words. I hope you get the hidden treasure from here. God will give you success in the future step of your life. Have a good day!

Allah helps people who are honest and innocent.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

wow, you mean you joined the forum when you were just 14 years old? this is good and I also say congratulations 😊🎉 to you.

[examplens]

Wow, but wow. You came to the forum when you were 14, and after a few months, you already had PayPal to BTC trades, at least judging by your feedback. Really impressive and seems almost unbelievable.
Now I'm a little ashamed of how stupid I was when I was 14 

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Now I'm a little ashamed of how stupid I was when I was 14  

When I was 14 my work area was school, cousins, school then again cousins. Sometimes hanging with friends in city centers and that's all. I never thought of anything else LOL
Those old days still are gold though.

My man @minifrij, congratulations brother. You are making all of us embarrassed LOL but honestly speaking it feels good reading such short story. You are impressive.

[LTU_btc]

Welcome back to forum and congratulations with amazing anniversary. First of all, it's nice to see you here after while and that everything is fine with you. You're here for 10 years already, that's very impressive, so many things happened in all these years. What is even more amazing that you're signed up here being just 14 years old. I would be very curious to know how Bitcoin become your interest at such young age. I started here as teenager too, but not such youn like you.
