Stopping for a minute to look at Bitcoin journey over the years

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Hello my fellow bloggers. How your life has changed in the past 10 years? 10 years ago, I was a student renting a small apartment with only dreams in my pocket. Now I am married, have a good education job and own apartment. When I look at Bitcoin, I understand what it really means to evolve. 10 years ago, Bitcoin was a hobby for nerds. Only a few people knew it existed. It was a time you could got it for free on a site like this:

Just think about it. This website used to give you 5 bitcoins for free. Imagine if someone received these funny digital coins and forgot about it. These 5 coins now worth $275k. For most people in this world these 5 BTC could became a live changing gift. Note, if you see a website offering free BTC nowadays it is a 100% fishing site.

8 years ago crypto market reached 1 billion dollars. It was an amazing achievement. Now we casually watch the market getting/losing 10 billion in a just a few minutes. We have a 1800x growth just in 8 years.

3 years ago we saw BTC performing coming out. As BTC price was close to $20k, everyone started to talk about bitcoin. It was all over mass media, social networks. You could hear people discussing BTC in a street. This something early adopters only dreamed in 2010. This is a truly amazing journey. I am so happy being on the train. I don’t know where this ride will take us, but I know this journey will change our lives.

You are right as they say history is repeating itself. We must review the previous Bitcoin chart well and learn from previous situations

So true! When someone says Bitcoin can't grow any more, you open the chart and see people told the very same words when BTC price was under $10.

Yep, I remember that faucet. That's where I got my first Bitcoin and today no one here believe's me when I tell them you could have gotten 5 BTC for free. I had 25 Bitcoin total by 2011 was it? and bought a new computer. While I was out, an elderly relative thought they were "doing me a favor" by throwing my old comp out in the trash with my crypto and seedphrase along with it.

By the time I got home, it was already gone. But not to worry right? Back then Bitcoin was only worth $1 each, so I only lost $25. But imagining the future value, I knew it would end up being much more... :)

Greetings to you, early adopter of Bitcoin! At least you were one of the first to know about Bitcoin, I didn't heard of it until 2015. I guess nobody good predicted BTC will rise this high so fast.

I remember when BTC was only few hundred dollars worth, that's when my brother told me about it and he was using a facuet to generate it for free over the time but not more a month when he left it and never came back... Now it is over 55k dollars, we both kinda regret it.

Things can change drastically and an element of luck and timing is involved to be an early adopter.

I guess it was back in 2015 when I first heard about Bitcoin. There was a young man who lived in my apartment complex across the way. He would talk to me and my neighbor about Bitcoin. We just never paid it any mind.

Now, six years later, I wished I would have listened more intently and followed his advise when he said, Bitcoin will be the future of finance. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
