Bitcoin started as a social experiment. When we invested in it at the "5000btc/pizza" time, we did it because we wanted to try something new. Shake things up. Most of us weren't driven by gain. The last bank crisis burnt everyone. The hackers did what hackers do: trying to find a workaround to this stupid bug. Build a POC for another paradigm. In that sense, Bitcoin is a tremendous success. Yes, it didn't become the alternative currency we hoped for, turning into a speculative mess. But boy, shake things up it did. Bitcoin changed everything. The tech scene. How we perceive money and exchanging values. It opened a new door that will never close, a new paradigm that is changing the way we are living. It's so new that we see dozens of alternatives, with variation, trying to be the new big things. It's so important people can't stop talking about it to the point it triggers a bubble. It's so influential a gigantic country such as China had to take measures to coerce it. And yet, it's just a piece of code... Bitcoin was spot on. Thanks for everybody that took, with all the little guys like me, the time, risk and resources to believe in it when nobody did. When we were mocked for trying. When we were doubting but having so much fun. It was a beautiful thing. I'm glad to have now the feeling those kind of people will always be around, and that we can always try to build something. Can't wait for our next failure :)
