To flash back it today, I'm still unable to understand all their worries, it may be the reason of age-gap, the one age group that felt stronger came from the older generation.
Well, I would like you to describe what's your feeling about 2008 and why it is so special compare to any other year like 2009,2010,2011 etc.
Also bitcoin was born in this particular year, the emotion must be so strong that it drive Satoshi to finally decide to do it.
That was the year the global market crashed and taking away the dreams of many people, the financial crisis has taken the entire world by storm and there is nothing you could do about it and many lost their jobs, i had some close friends in US who started driving taxis for a living as they have lost their job and the situation around the world was massive, i really lost a lot of money in stock market at that time and that is the year when the legendary white paper came out.
