I found bitcoin back in 2012, and I instantly fell in love with it. I didn't care about the money, I mean it was quite hard to when the value was pretty low, but I knew it was going to become something big. I loved that it was decentralised and anonymous. I loved that the community around it thrived on those two major foundations. It saddens me greatly to see that the passion for the two has been relatively lost in recent years.
Bitcoin liberated me, it got me into open-sourced software and appreciating my own privacy.
