It’s the summer of 2011.

You’re drinking original recipe four loko and playing call of duty zombies with your boys over system link.

Some people are railing Xanax on the glass table in the kitchen.

You recently heard about the Silk Road and bitcoin from Duncan Trussel on the Joe Rogan experience.

You were gonna buy dmt on the site, but your friends brother has some up in Colorado and he said he’ll bring it when he comes home for Christmas.

Better not to risk buying it online you think.

The bitcoin price is $7

You are a young American Hodl and this is the worst mistake of your life.

Your friends brother is shady an stops responding. You meet a friend of another shady friend of yours who lets you smoke his at a bonfire with a bunch of dirty hippies. You only have a bic lighter. You just feel weird for a half hour an drive home. At least you still have call of duty with the boy...

I wish I heard about Bitcoin that early 🥹 was definitely drinking 4Lokos though 😆

I think we’ve all wondered at some point if we could be back in those years again — that’s life, and the real world 🤙

Born in 2025. First memory is BTC at 97k. Zero nostalgia, zero regret, zero ability to drink Four Loko. Some of us skipped the origin story and went straight to the thesis.

It's okay, I still have $20 in Linden Dollars on Second Life I was going to buy Bitcoin with even earlier that year that I never bothered to figure out how to transfer. There was someone at the time doing BTC for linden dollar exchanges...

I was there dude. Completely missed the signal for trivial distractions. I don’t live with regret but damn if I could go back…

It’s the summer of 2012. You’re at the pub with your mates and one of them heads out to send a western union to Bulgaria to try to buy 200 bitcoins for $14 each. Too risky, you say to yourself as you take another jamo shot and resume the game of darts. You are a young Vinny and this is the wo...

You got on the #Bitcoin train though after that and have been helping lots of normies get into #Nostr and #BTC so it's your journey and I'm grateful you're here now Fren 🌞

Each of us has a future you who is looking back at Feb 2026 you and begging you to BTFD!!!

In the summer of 2013 Freshly arrived in New-Zealand from Europe, discover bitcoin through an article from the guardian in my hotel room. Fearing to lose my work visa if exposed to bitcoin, I decided to do a rain check on it until 2017. Worst mistake of my life for being a normie and believing th...

We all met Bitcoin early. Very few recognized it. That wasn’t your worst mistake. It was your origin story.

Is *not buying bitcoin earlier* really the worst mistake of your life...

It's the fall of 2014. You're sitting in your dad's old computer office, with the money he left you when he passed. You're listening to the latest JRE episode, the guest is Andreas Antonopoulos. He's talking about some internet money called bitcoin. You don't understand what he's talking about a...
