I just noticed the little birthday icon on my profile indicating that today is the day I signed up for Bitcointalk! Pretty amazing really that it's been a dozen years now. I guess that sort of makes me one of the old guys around here. It's been a pretty crazy ride, but I'll admit it hasn't been all that surprising. 12 years ago I signed up for this crazy forum to learn more about this new decentralized currency with a limit on the number of coins that can be produced. I wanted to take part immediately and went from trading things for BTC, to mining, to helping others trade, then helping others mine who aren't able (through my community organization), and eventually creating cool products. It's been an amazing ride with a lot of interesting speedbumps along the way, but still we roll on.

Some things I've done over the last 12 years that I think are cool...

That's a long period of time to be in this forum, congratulations to you @OgNasty, you took your time to follow every single rules and regulations in this (crazy Forum, like you called it) Forum and you're still here with us, it's a great thing to celebrate with you. I believe some other users have messed up their reputation but you stayed strong and believed that one day you'd be amongst the oldest users in this Forum. You can be old here but you're stronger when it comes to trading and giving advise to investors too.
Congrats once again sir @OgNasty
