Y'all probably know I'm a big fan of these guys now - but seriously, I had to share this. A complete overview of the ups and downs of BTC over the past decade:

I think that amidst all the market chaos that we're currently going through, it's important to remind ourselves that we've already been through hell and worse.

My top events:

2008: First whitepaper comes out by this random guy named Satoshi Nakamoto

2011: First big competitors such as Litecoin start to emerge

2013: First BTC ATM launches in a coffeeshop in Canada

2016: Steam videogame platform starts to accept BTC

2017: Bitcoin hits $19K.


What are your top/low moments??  Grin




2018: Steam videogame disables bitcoin because mempool delays are up to three weeks and fees have gone insane. Bitcoin tanks reaching $3400 in early 2019 before climbing back up to about $8000.

We're still dealing with the fallout of that debacle in late 2017/early 2018 over the mempool delays.
