I Took a Photo!

I took a photo of a panel featuring @balajis.eth at a Bitcoin conference in 2015

Happy #ThrowbackThursday

Were you already in this world in 2015? I wanted to get in back in 2010, but everyone around me kept saying it was a bubble that was going to burst. I was stupid to let myself be influenced by those people.

you were truly ahead of the curve! It’s wild to think about how things unfolded in just a decade. Hindsight is always 20/20, and being part of the story early on is still pretty incredible. Not everyone can say that! 😉

I was in it starting in 2012 lol. First as a currency in a certain wild west marketplace, then as a short term flip trade, then as a freelance journalist making my income in BTC

In none of those situations did I 1) have conviction it would become as big as it did in 10 years, and 2) have spare funds to invest 🤷‍♂️ such is life
