If somebody had asked you a decade ago if you wanted to invest in stocks of the world's largest corporations or in Bitcoin, what would you choose?

I asked myself this question nearly 11 years ago and the answer was clear. When I discovered Bitcoin it was such an "ah-ha" moment. The question, "but what can I do?" finally had an answer. It really was clear as day that Bitcoin was a real emerging technology that was vastly undervalued as a p2p trading network solution and superior as a low cost way to do business internationally while giving the ability to maintain privacy. It was like if Western Union owned the Black Market (this was my thinking at the time) and had a valuation around 10 million dollars. It genuinely was a once in a lifetime opportunity and the first night I learned about Bitcoin I was up all night setting up software to mine on my old computer and looking at what I needed to grow the process. There are few things in life that ever came close to exciting me as much as Bitcoin in 2011. The blocksize wars and all the drama surrounding villainizing members of the community set in place an attitude and environment that has made me think twice about Bitcoin's dominance and start looking into more inclusive communities. I hope someday there's some sanity and truth in the community again. Once upon a time this place was a Libertarian heaven and it was clear Bitcoin had a bright future.
