You are an early adopter and as of when you joined, only a few had ample knowledge of bitcoin.

Lol, I'm definitely not an early adopter of bitcoin. If I was, I'd be filthy stinking rich by now instead of living in a hovel like some deranged monk. The real early adopters are the ones who were mining bitcoin on their laptops and GekkoScience USB sticks and thereby generating huge amounts of BTC.

It is not easy to witness different generations of newbies, some with awkward behaviours and yet you remain in the forum and contributing actively to the growth of the forum.
I noticed that most old users of the forum on the long run become skeptical about new generation newbies.

It's definitely been an interesting experience, and in addition to seeing a lot of new members with wildly different personalities I've seen some very large personalities leave the forum for various reasons, and it's the latter that changes the dynamics of bitcointalk more dramatically. You can really feel the absence of a member like Vod or TECSHARE or Bruno.

That's a long journey and yet 13 years Bitcoin still surviving until now is making you believe Bitcoin is legit. Well that's discussion is similar like Bitcoin replaced Fiat in the future, and someone is right about the collector will collecting physical Bitcoin to adapt new technology.

Yeah, before I joined the forum I pretty much never thought I'd be passionate about bitcoin--and yet here I am in the present day, and it takes up space in my head for most of my waking hours. And boy, I wish I'd bought some of those old physical bitcoin coins and some other stuff like the print edition of bitcoin magazine....oh well.
