Congratulations to the Dash community, over the past 3 years there has great progress.  I check in on Dash periodically and it is one of the few communities that has delivered.  While the price is exciting, of real interest is the technology that is being built. 

Sadly there seems to still be people that try to twist what happened at the beginning.  So like someone else that recently posted I thought I would admit to my early involvement with Dash.  I recently stumbled upon one of my old empty Xcoin wallets so it seemed like a good time to show what it was like in the beginning.   

Dash was easy to mine and anyone could have picked up a lot at the beginning, I know because I did.  Though because my obsession was with mining I let this long term opportunity pass me by.  I sold a lot to cover my Amazon bills, kept some for a bit and even had some masternodes for a while.  So while this coin looked very promising the mining bug hit me again so I sold the rest a while back.  I happily profited in the end but of course it is hard to not look back at what I could have had. 

So yes, I was one of those Amazon miners that people complained about early on.
