We're 10,000 posts in, a moment I've actually be dreading for some time, because it puts me in a special category of giant forum nerd... among the top 1% of biggest nerds to ever spend 7 years on the forum. Yes, that's right. My 7th forum anniversary is April 20th: less than 2 days time. So smoke em if you got em, and let's get this party started by introducing some of my favorite moments on Bitcointalk.
Note these posts aren't in any particular order, but they do encapsulate moments that were pivotal, humorous or otherwise.
A NXT (first coin to offer a DEX) developer by the name of Josh Z. and forum name bluemeanie1 was paid 1 million NXT (with the price being $0.04 - $0.05 at the time) to develop the blockchain's first Decentralized Autonomous Corporation (DAC), which would have been the fore-runner to the first DAO. Admittedly it seemed like a herculean task both then and now, but instead of refunding the money or hiring help, bluemeanie1 just kept the funds and started accusing NXT of being run by criminals.
He then apparently had a mental breakdown from the strain of not being able to deliver and started thrashing NXT under another account Moneroman88. He went so far as to start harassing a NXT community member at work by contacting their employers, trying to get them fired. Then he slipped up in a PM, sending a threatening message using the wrong account:
Never kept up on what happened to this guy, don't care, hope he's better by now.
To me this was a hilarious idea at the time, though I quickly found out that even by August 2014, there had already been 2 other coins named "Shitcoin". The name really reflects my level of maturity at the time, as it does now. Shitcoin 3.0 was off to a great start but the Dogeparty servers went down within a year. I still hold a grudge against Adam Levine of "Let's Talk Bitcoin" for promoting it.
Stop spreading FUD, Primediceboy.
It was a cold November night and BTC was tanking thanks to the fallout from the Bcash Civil War, crashing into the $3,000s. I was wondering how much lower could this thing go and decided to poke my head into the WO to see if I could gather any intelligence. Instead what I found was a good-humored band of chaps making the most of the situation. Nobody was panicking or losing their shit, and that was reassuring. Their long-term outlook seemed wisened, but they were also wise-guys as well.

This is not a giveaway, nor is it advertising for dogeparty. This is completely serious.
I created a dogeparty asset called Shitcoin and everyone who puts a dogeparty wallet address in their signature (or else you can PM it to me) gets a share of 100,000 Shitcoins!
There's only 10 billion of them, so, you know, I have to be kind of stingy.
OK ready for the ANN part?
Out of all the shitcoins, this WILL be the BEST.
- 100% Premine
- 10,000,000,000 total coins
- backed by the integrity of the dogecoin blockchain
- $8 trillion market cap (they are currently $800/SHT... pm me for private sale)
- some day you will be able to use them somewhere other than Dogeparty.
- you can try and sell them for other digital assets once they get their exchange up

When optimists notice a fad, they hype a new one and call it DarkCoin, CloakCoin, BlackCoin, or whatever.
When pessimists notice a fad, they make fun it and make "Shitcoin".
No wonder optimists are more successful in life.
