In every practical sense, Bitcoin launched to the "public-at-large" in November 2013.
Comparing WWW of 1993 (14 million users, project has been existing for decades) to Bitcoin of 2009 (10-20 users at most) is either extremely stupid or intentionally misleading.
I thank you for deciding to leave the forum and not subject people to reading your cringeworthy posts any more.
Yeah...the bubbles of 2010 and early 2013 didn't happen, the media wasn't full of BTC stories between Jan and April 2013.
But I look forward to reading your posts, since you are clearly an intellectual giant with many years economic training and worldly wisdom to draw upon.
