Bitcoin Again

Remember when your friends used to ask you about Bitcoin?

If you were around during the 2017 crypto bubble, you probably remember the first time a friend, family member or even just a loose acquaintance, asked you about Bitcoin. It was a strange feeling, talking to a real flesh and blood person about this obscure, potentially illegal thing that I had become obsessed with.

Then suddenly it seemed like every one I was working with was either buying bitcoin, trading altcoins, or USI-Tech was going to make them mega rich......it was crazy times.

Of course as the bubble burst, Bitcoin went from something your work mates were openly discussing in the smoko shed (or with your family over Christmas lunch).

To an embarrassing secret, that was as conversationally welcome as that story about, "that time when you ....( insert your own embarrassing secret, I am sure yours is a real doozy)".

That was the Crypto Winter. A time of hibernation and accumulation.

A friend asked me to contact a work-mates daughter who was wanting to get into Bitcoin and needed some guidance. Turns out she already had a coinspot.com.au account and had bought a Ledger Nano S. She just hadn't taken that initial step of purchasing some Bitcoin. But I was impressed by how much DYOR she had already done prior to actually purchasing. She was quite knowledgeable for some one who still didn't have any Bitcoin.
At our first Post Covid Lockdown social gathering, the subject of Bitcoin was bought up at the dinner table. And not by me but the conservations were directed at me.
