Who else was there. I know I was . History in the making. Found this video. Highlighted my name. Shed a manly tear.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kHziHm2xyA

Before FTC started the whole altcoin scam rush of 2013.
Before Chinacoin.
Before Quark and the Instamine scam
Before Worldcoin.
Before IPO scams.
Before Premine Scams
Before Airdrops.
Before Doge/Cat/Farm Animal/Celebrity/Country coins.

Life was a lot more simple back then. Life was beautiful.
I remember litecoin at mere pennies.
That day when LTC hit $1 we all celebrated. Most of you copy and paste noobs don't remember when BTC-E let you use Emoticons. When we could spam "Arize Chickun" and not get banned.

Anyone remember when coinchoose only had like 6 coins listed?
Anyone remember Cryptsy TrollBox?
Anyone remember the real Fontas?

I was there. I started mining ltc at pennies.  Very little hash at the time.  It was a different world then.  Fun new exciting!

BTC-e was fun. I remember a Sunday Morning I woke up and for hours all the troll box said was Gox this and Gox that. Gox in Sox and  so on. It was pretty funny..

Ah yes. The day when people got goxed and the exchange totally crashed. clarkmoody wouldn't load anything. Everyone got lagged to hell. BTC-E was doing Gox puns. I never laughed so hard.

I guess one of the reasons for nostalgia is because of some of the coins I hold. I might look at hobonickels and say "wow 12 cents is high" but I remember LTC at 23 cents thinking the same thing. I remember after when LTC hit $2 I thought that it was too high. Then we hit over $40 dollars.

Even now you see LTC ballers on BTC-E flashing 100k LTC plus sell orders. I always think "did they buy those recently or did they mine them in the early days?"
Its funny how much things change in a year.

It's all thanks to bitcoin's price. I don't really think that FTC was the coin that started the altcoin rush.

And even though litecoin was builted with the purpose to make mining more accessible profitability for GPUs is going down the drain again. And I don't really belive that profitability of mining is going to benefit from those "GPU friendly" coins.

I remember LTC at 6 cents, but I wasn't buying alts then.
BTC-e was tons of fun before last Nov/Dec.

BTC-E was fun for me until they removed Emoticons, made you wait 30 seconds before replying and now forces you to have a deposit before you can chat.

Cryptsy Troll box was fun until they updated the layout and realized that they couldn't support a trollbox with a million DOGE shibes spouting "such troll, many box, spam wow".

Their Emoticons were great.
I started using BTC-e ~3 weeks before they took those away. Too bad they couldn't stay.

Oh the good old days...

I remember not selling when the price spiked up the first time and I didn't sell and I got all sad. But then a few weeks later it spiked to over $4.

Good memories. Arize chikun. Chikun arise...Chikun will reach moon!

LTC did make it into orbit.
6 cents to $50 was a great run up.

I joined the community a month after reading about this exact event on some random blog. Bitcoin was fluctuating @ $80-120 and another month later IFC was selling for 10-20 liteoshi. For anyone wondering that's 100 million IFC for about $100 btc equivalent at the time. 2 months ago that same 100 mill was worth $10,000  Tongue and now about $2,000

Those Gox puns flooded in so fast, many of them seemed like bots.

Do you also remember how Tenebrix and LTC devs lied about GPU mining being impossible?  Wink
