The people who make up the cryptocurrency space are instrumental in reshaping moneys as the general populace know it. Every now and then John Q. Public stumbles upon a Bitcoin article, reads, has a belly laugh, then returns to CBS' paywall shows like TBBT, patiently awaiting the new Star Trek scheduled next year. Others are still receiving therapy because Idol (FOX) was canceled. Meanwhile, others are joining the space to claim the remaining ONLY 17 spots available of Bitcoin Club 2009, of which theymos didn't even make the cut. Current members are...
Satoshi
Hal Finny (Popsicle)
Craig Wright (Lost)
Nick Spanos (Bicycle)
Marshall Long (挖矿王子)
Leroy Fodor (Serial Liar)
The latter four are still active today shaping the space for future laughs. I'd be remiss if I didn't include yours truly as Bitcoin's CLO (Chief Laugh Officer).
Hah! You got me searching for "Bitcoin Club 2009" so I could submit my application...I couldn't find it but this guy's story came up. Maybe he deserves a spot in the club:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/09/bitcoin-forgotten-currency-norway-oslo-homei just dont get it,..what is that all about,27$ turn into 876000$ for buying bitcoins,..
Based on my understanding what happened was the buy bought $27 of Bitcoin back when it was incredibly cheap, and then once bitcoin skyrocketed in value (I would assume to the ATH), the buy made a multiple-ten-thousand-percent return on his investment.
Truly a lucky guy, and I don't feel envious in the least. He took an opportunity and made a lot of money off of it.
