I could feel that life during that year was too different compared to our current situation. Maybe that's because we have crypto now. I have known bitcoin years after it's released but I'm grateful on how it changed my perspective when it comes to earning and finances.
I didn't experience what is in 2008 or even in 2016, I am kind of late a bit on cryptocurrency. I have known cryptocurrency in 2017 and that time Bitcoin was very popular because of a higher value and also this forum because of the Bitcoin earning. So lucky at that time, I feel much better because I know I have always money wherever I go and that is because of bitcoin.
