Been away from Bitcoin and cryptos since 2015... What have I missed?
Howdy! I knew about Bitcoin since 2011 but only became seriously interested in late 2013 just after the big price rise that happened prior to Mt. Gox going under. I was quite a frequent poster on these forums until the first half of 2015. Then I went to college and studies got in the way of posting so I kind of lost interest in Bitcoin for the most part.
I was pretty deeply involved with the cryptocurrency scene during those months. I bought coins through LocalBitcoins (which I still hold to this day
), gambled with them, ran my own faucets, traded altcoins, printed my own paper wallets, took part in signature campaigns, and mined with USB miners for fun. However, my knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies pretty much stops abruptly at around 2015.
So my question is this, what are some of the major developments that I've missed and should know about?
(For example, I remember learning about how GPUs were used to mine BTC in 2011 but that info was well out of date by 2013.)
