All these threads and articles are the same, there's no new information just a new price. I like to follow a long with the Cryptocurrency, I've got a couple million in Bitcoin right now, and I'm hoping for a big 'crash' to weed out the Wallstreet types and focus again ons some good old-fashioned development. It's hard to experiment when there's billions riding on it and I feel that we're not done experimenting yet. Anybody else remember the good old 2011 days of a small community and enthousiasts? I miss those days.

> I've got a couple million in Bitcoin right now Something about this makes me intrinsically dislike you, and I can't for the life of me figure out what the reason is. (kidding! "Health to enjoy it!" as my father-in-law would say.)

> I've got a couple million in Bitcoin right now Jesus, I started mining back in 2011 - got bored. Did it again in 2013 and nearly bought a few. Got everything set up, then just never did it. But I'd have probably sold up way before now. Congrats!

> Anybody else remember the good old 2011 days of a small community and enthousiasts? I do. It was fun. There was a real sense of community. Where you'd ask advice on IRC on some mining setup, and people would gladly help you tune some settings on your build-in GPU. When, after a full day of mining, I was like "meh, this'll make at most one BTC per day, no way that I'm going to let my computer blast the whole night just for one Bitcoin. Where you knew nicknames and trusted people (and their advice, software, scripts based on "knowing them from IRC") One thing I've noticed when moving more into the Eth community (I'm developing solidity stuff now) is that Eth is both a friendlier, more helpful community, and feels like a more closed set. Btc feels all about in-fighting these days. No matter what reddit you visit, there is fighting, not heated debates, but actual, real hate. Eth feels more as a whole group. We -vs- them kinda thing. As opposed to the Bitcoin us-vs-us.
