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.
Well, it’s a bit of an understatement.
Well, that’s a bit pedantic.
Only a bit. I’ve been trying to tone it down.
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 did indeed. My bad.
