          Why wouldn’t you do that in August? It didn’t take a genius to do this after 9/11

            I’m guessing they’re European and thus misread the date as November 9th.

      you’d be waiting several years. bitcoin wasn’t “invented” until '08. but you’re on the right track. by '09, you could have got 100btc for lunch money. sold today it would give you more than enough to live on.

        If you started mining on the day the network launched you could have had thousands of bitcoins without even buying any. Mining difficulty was really low before FPGA miners (and later ASIC miners) were created

        Yep… Bitcoin didn’t really take off until 2010. I had a buddy who was an early adopter and had mined/bought hundreds of thousands of coins at one point. Spent it all on the silk road, he always used to say it was just a way to turn electricity into drugs.

          No, it literally didn’t exist until 2008, and even then only conceptually for another year.

            That’s why I said it didn’t really take off until 2010… As in people started to actually trade it for actual goods.

            It technically didn’t exist until 2009. Before that it was a white paper.

              Yes, which is why I said “conceptually” for the time between the original paper and the first implementation.

      You could travel back to 2009 and impersonate Satoshi Nakamoto. There are already conspiracy theories that Nakamoto is a time traveler because he did what a time traveler might do. He anonymously created Bitcoin, and then he disappeared. He has tens of billions of dollars of bitcoin sitting there unused. Or maybe it’s just waiting until he gets back to his time.
