Hello all,
It’s been some time since I last posted here (15 years to be exact).
During that time, I’ve spent more time observing than participating, traveling and watching markets evolve in ways none of us could have fully predicted back then. When Bitcoin was young, the idea that something mined on a personal machine could grow into what it has today felt almost unreal. Watching that unfold has been one of the more interesting experiences of my life.
I was always in support of the cryptocurrency wave, and the fact that anyone can create their own coin now really brings out the freedom we early supporters fought for against the traditional economic system. I always wanted to make my own crypto coin, not something as heavily utilized as Bitcoin or Ethereum, but something I can get a good laugh out of, like Elon did with Doge.
I wonder what the further evolution of the crypto markets will look like, and I’m proud to say that I’ll be watching closely, as it’s the sole reason I can live life as freely and comfortably as I do today. I hope others can share their thoughts on their own journeys and what they think the future holds for our beloved crypto.
What really stood out to me is how you talk about freedom. Back in the early days, crypto freedom was about openness. Anyone could mine, move value around, or simply step outside the system. These days, freedom feels a lot more like just staying afloat in a space full of noise, leverage, and short term thinking.
Maybe the next stage isn’t about bigger markets or faster networks, but about a bit of self control. People consciously choosing tools that actually protect them, even when there’s no quick win or obvious profit attached.
Seen that way, the evolution might not be as flashy as the early days, but it could end up being far more meaningful in the long run[url]
