I Took a Photo!

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

Happy #ThrowbackThursday

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

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.

Haha, and knowing about it is only half the battle - wish I also had the funds to invest at the time!

damn 2015? Wish I knew about it then! Got in late 2021 at the absolute peak lol
