Just having a bit of dinner discussion with some friends about how long we have been in BTC and what we could prove or be willing to prove.
My oldest address is from mid 2010 but would not feel comfortable posting that address since it's still in use today. I do have an address from mid 2011 that had BTC0.0001 in and out of it so yeah that is a whatever kind of thing. That was actually what started the talk sine I noticed it received that tiny amount 6/20/2011 or 15 years ago today.
What about everyone else?

Looking at the title and how long the years involved, I was thinking maybe I will see like 100 to 1000 Bitcoins, since by 2011 it's value was still very cheap, but only to be surprised and shocked when I saw 0.0001 BTC as the first Bitcoin transaction you ever made, of which it's kind of okay too to have had such experience when the world least thought it will skyrocket to be this valuable today. However, I will like to ask, how did you get that 0.0001 BTC back then in 2011? Did you earn it from a Bitcoin Faucet, mine it ? Moreover, happy 15years first Bitcoin transaction anniversary to you.
I was using
BTC for a while at that point in 2011.
Someone on another forum was giving away those tiny amounts. At that point I had only been using the 1 address from before so I setup a new wallet because I for some reason at that time did not fully trust him at that point.
Why would you be giving away such a small amount? It was worth (at that time) nothing. So I setup that new address. Turned out that he figured that he would have had 1000s of takers so he was limiting what he had to give away. In reality I think about 4 of us responded.
We met up years later at a DefCon in Vegas. He was laughing that he was then so happy that not that many people took him up on it since he never spent any of it and now it was worth so much more.
