Funny enough I've been around a long time, but haven't been very active on the forums was mainly a lurker but since Bitcoin started rallying up to 1k again crypto has been on my radar again.
The majority of users have being using bitcoin for a much longer time than in the forum and that is the case even for me,since bitcoin.org was the official site and since there are many forums sites out there with all the crypto currencies i did not really bother to come over here in the beginning but later on i found that the majority of the new coins have an ANN thread here and so is the reason i created an account here just to keep up with the new coins and their debates and to find out whether it is legitimate before investing in it.
I suppose that is true for most users since it does not make a lot of sense to join the forum before you begin to use bitcoin in some way, I also lurked the forum a little while before I joined the forum and tried to absorb as much information as possible.
