Incredible insight, if only I was lucky enough to be aware of Bitcoin back then. By the time I finally got in, in 2015, the days of solo CPU Mining were a thing of the past. Congratulations to were involved that early, must feel good.
According to your words, I remembered a golden past. I joined the forum on May 6, 2013. From here, I learned a lot by sharing many types of news and knowledge. The very happy thing was that on the 6th of May 2013, I got one BTC, and on the 13th of August, I got two BTC. It was a very beautiful moment, but I sold it for very little. I would have been lucky if I had been a little more aware. Happily, I got BTC that, too, through this forum.
CPU mining was different. It was very old days when we didn't have such digital technology. Now, we take this mining thing as seriously as it was, and then it was not taken very seriously, and everyone didn't give it that much importance; everyone looked down on it.The meagre time of that time has become like a dream of the present.Those who held on have developed their future, and those like us who could not hold on have lost the golden past.
Just curious how they might have lost their Bitcoin by reinstalling Windows.
If you think about Windows 2009, you can see that using the new Windows, nothing is left behind, we get everything new. Now, many things can be keep in different ways with the development of technology. Many bits have been lost like this in the past for tourize them.
