Introduction
Hello Community,
I am excited to be in this here. I have been following the crypto space since end of 2012 just before the first big Bitcoin Boom. I was there for Mt. Gox, I was there for Cryptsy, and now here we are. I remember buying BTC using Western Union and Zip Pay. I remember when all of my friends at that time told me this was gonna get shut down by government.
I remember buying GPU's to mine bitcoins only to realize it was too late, time to mine altcoins. I remember ASICs getting created and talking to the founders of ButterFly Labs trying to order them. HEHE...
Now only 5 years later (3 decades in blockchain years), the community is getting stronger, the market cap is growing, and the technology is significantly improving. Let's continue to weather the storm associated with the advancement of this technology and flourish into a new Renaissance for social interactivity!

Welcome, Alex. I remember using Western Union as well. I actually used false names and addresses on the forms so my bitcoin would be truly anonymous. LOL
Yeah that's right. Anonymous transactions. LOL Remember when bitcoin represented that principle.
