To celebrate Bitcoin almost reaching 10k, let's dig up ancient threads to find out what anons thought about it back then.
The only archive available that actually has such old threads is a piece of shit that doesn't have a search function, so you have to search for them manually, help me out.
No. I had an old trip on /g/ and half of the bitcoin bashing back in '10 came from me.
Fuck, I probably used the term "buttcoin" more than anyone else on /g/ back then
Anthony Turner
lmao, did you buy any or did you really think it was that shit?
Joshua Russell
warosu is far better for this shit. Oddly enough, this archive only goes back to mid 2010 so I couldn't find my autistic rialing against bitcoin (most of which was done in 2009 and spring 2010)
these are funny, but kinda depressing. I'm glad I never had that kind of experience. Hopefully one day this works out for us all and we can help the ones we care about.
Lincoln Nguyen
he's definitely not rich since he couldn't cash out
Dominic Nguyen
>yfw if this guy still has his 200+ bitcoins he spent $200 on
Brody Long
Kek people calling bitcoin wallets and mining software a virus
So back then a $180 card mined $15 worth of bitcoin / day?
Damn
Kayden Anderson
FUD has always been with us.
Samuel Garcia
Not from /g/ but I'll upload it anyway.
Jason Walker
>blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1HWqXFtBk7CZ1PpFTo5XxrF29sqncSLecW he had 5btc in this address if you follow the chain, it appears this person might have at least 15000 bitcoin, and his last activity may have been even this week, so we he was a hodler through and through
yeah but my fucking nvidia gtx560 brand new was too inefficient because of the hardware architecture. AMD luckily created their cards in a way which suited mining
that's why i'm not a whale..
Jonathan Thompson
holy shit all those guys with 100+ btc :p
Really really hope they kept it.
Jason Bennett
Fuck. I hope you guys can find the community bitcoin mining pool threads. The OP fucking scammed us out of a whole block. About $1k at the time, half a million today.
Jason Adams
Imagine setting a farm back then, and I'm not even talking about holding the coins
ROI in 12 days for each card, then pure profit
Jayden Sanders
Difficulty increased in June that year by a lot, so maybe that guy had 1-2 more months of easy gains.
Benjamin Baker
>one day this works out for us all >all >capitalist society

Veeky Forums didnt change. look biz, panicking victims of whales all over, buying high selling low all the time with mom's money.
that and not investing in powr for holding even though we are at the bottom of the dip. LUL
Daniel Edwards
to be honest you find those retards again here saying the same exact of bullshit even though they are just broke, bitter and young retards.
i kind of understand why bin laden did what he did now we really a bunch of fags when you look at the majority. stupids fucks
Jaxon Scott
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I LISTEN
Wyatt Edwards
>tfw I was the main shill in that thread
Michael Parker

Jackson Baker
Holy fuck I remember this.
Reminds me of Ark threads
Carson Garcia
We set the template
Alexander King
no, link will die like many other shitcoins that made it to top 100 then back to oblivion
James Morris
this user probably commit suicide long ago
David Nelson
>that guy who said he forgot his password to access 2,000 ETH
I wonder how he feels now
Logan King
>Already cashed out I think I'll wait as long as it takes to never care about how much money I spend again
Julian Sanders
looks like the modern LINK threads
Ethan Cooper
All of us on Veeky Forums
Nathan Adams
Good to reminisce. But the future is where it's at!
Tyler Cruz
Right
Brayden Roberts
Funny thing is that anons are doing the same shit today with LINK, REQ and others. Learn from this. Put some money you can afford to lose and hodl that shit. Don't be laugh fodder in a few years as those anons are now.
Jeremiah Walker
>tfw I was the OP You paid for my daughter's cancer treatment and now she's perfectly healthy
Logan Edwards
After ETH there’s been nothing worth shilling for me.
It was that combination of a completely revolutionary idea and the will and resources to pull off the vision. I think ETH is on the cusp of realising that grand vision....Satoshis vision.
Robert Reed
>link Bought 1000 for the lols >req What is that shitcoin?
Andrew Campbell
wow
Liam Taylor
>mfw their excitement at hitting $2
If only they knew, I hope some of them held until now.

>This whole Ethereum thing reminds me of Doge coin, which is why this board was created in the first place, to get us all out of /g/.
A couple people mine the hell out of it when it first gets created (usually the creator), then shill it extremely hard until it's value doubles, then the creator dumps everything and watches it crash.
This whole minor "coin" infrastructure is just a anonymous decentralized pump and dump scheme, that has worked way too many times.
All it takes it the knowledge of how to create a coin, some server space, and a couple friends to camp a couple websites.
>It's only a pump and dump by speculators. There is no doubt in my mind that the devs take ETH seriously, however, that means dick as far as the actual price is concerned. Look at Ripple for example. They have way more of a powerhouse in terms of banking connections, Google sponsorship, Ripple Labs employees from various Fortune 500, banks and federal reserves. They are also the closest technology wise with the creation of Codius and smart contracts. Yet the price of Ripple has remained pretty stable and low. I would say ETH has about a year or less until the value drops and levels off like Ripple did. >Even the makers of Ethereum said it's a useless buy and hold because they will be engaging in huge inflation during the early years. >This ethereum is, at best, a fools errand, and at worse an outright fraud.
