Ok,
I'm not 10, but today marks ten years (and one day

) of me originally joining this forum! Which means you're getting a bit of a soppy post for my birthday

Coincidentally I also recently turned 24 years old irl, which has caused me to have a bit of a remenisce about everything that's happened over the last decade or so. I really owe both this forum and crypto as a whole a ton, as the time I spent in this community has really dictated a large portion of my adult life.
Not only have I built up a fairly nice little nest egg as a result of crypto, which has given me the freedom to do things I never imagined I'd be able to, but I actually discovered my love of web development through crypto (s/o
minifrij.pw) which wound up being my career for my entire adult life thus far.
Even outside of that, the sheer number of memories I have because of this forum is insane. Meeting up with the TCC in Manchester and Amsterdam, playing Rocket League and CSGO with Lauda, Hhampuz and others, spending hours chatting with people on Slack, Discord, Crypto-Games, etc.
While I think this part of my life has comfortably passed, I'll always be able to look back on it extremely fondly. Without this forum my life would be completely different, and I really owe so much to it.
Special shout outs to Lauda, Lutpin, Accountant, Zepher, the Collectibles subforum and the CG mod team. Without you guys, none of this would be real.
Thanks for everything!
