Tell us a bit more. Why did you leave? Did you own a few coins back then and if you did, what happened with it? It is the stories and the people that are interesting about this technology. You also learn from the mistakes of others, when you go through this journey. I had something similar happen with me, because I was told about bitcoin, back in 2010 and I simply wrote it off as a fad.

Well, i tried mining some with my cpu, never got one, and kinda gave up. That and trying to make a buck to survive other ways gets in the way of fun and games. At that point there was really no point in buying any, as weird as that idea seemed. But yeah, i remember the very first time i heard of bitcoin, which was probably towards the end of 2010, i thought it was the dumbest idea ever, and that it would never go anywhere. shows you what i know lol.

Not sure if it would have made a difference unless you had the willpower to hold.

that's a good point, im sure i'd have sold before it ever hit 1000$ the first time. there were some tough times financially for me there for a couple years.

Just found Bitcoin Core on disk that was downloaded May 2011 from sourceforge.
Unfortunately the wallet is empty.
