Honestly, these values between 2010-2012 don't shock me. If I had gotten into Bitcoin early on, I probably would have donated a similar amount.
If you were asked to donate $100 today for the forum, I don't think you would mind to send 0.0024 BTC. But BTC at $10M value, the 0.0024 BTC will become $24,000. Wait for a few decades!
Exactly. Giving $100 in BTC didn't seem very complicated, but I was unable to give $24,000.
And that's what happened between 2010 and 2012, the values were very low, which over time increased in value and allowed the forum to now have a large account.
