April/May 2011:
The closest Bitcoin had ever come to a major Bull market was the excitement related to approaching $1/BTC for the for time ever.
For many of us it wasn't about the money:
* Bitcoin was an exciting story, with fresh, new drama almost every day.
* BTC held the amazing potential to set people free from the slavery of fiat money.
*
* The first major wave of destructive trolls hadn't landed here yet, so every thread was full of energy and worthwhile discussion.
Early June 2011:
* Same as above, with greed starting to take over, as the market was going crazy to the upside.
Mid to Late June 2011:
* We learned how it felt to get 'Goxed' for the first (and 2nd) time.
* Trolls moved in, markets crash / hopes are dashed...
* Look, it's going back up!
Was it a healthy investment?
Yes, but did we set enough people free?
