I mined a few satoshis in early 2014, stopped when hash difficulty got too hard and didn't pay Bitcoin much attention for the next few years.
A couple of months ago I decided to jump back in to the whole crypto coin ecosystem and check out what's going on and, honestly, it's staggering how fast this space is evolving. I'm getting the same feelings I had in 1997/1998 with the web: there's something big going on and it feels exciting.
Playing around with Ether Delta, watching smart contracts execute on etherscan, syncing my wallets up with blockchains, anonymously trading coins & tokens on exchanges, chatting to believers/trolls/curious peeps on forums. The whole vibe reminds me of geocities / audiogalaxy / slashdot in the late nineties.
I think the ideas (technical & political) Satoshi Nakamoto crystallised in to Bitcoin represent the beginning of something fundamentally transformative and can't wait to see where it ends up.
