And not to forget, make sure a glass is raised for each of them who fought for what Bitcoin is and may not be among us today any more.  For every glass I will raise that you mention, I will raise it for them too.  I knew Leo will be missed.  And I am sure I am not the only one who misses him.  And I wish he was still here to say, I only fooled all of you and I am well, better than ever before even.

We are lucky to be around these times, so raise a glass for being lucky to have the strength, the health and the existence to stick around.  Cheers to all of you, this is a Community I love and always will.

Absolutely!

I have said it many times, those early guys and gals from 2009 to 2014 especially
are the legends, they stuck it out and had the belief to continue with it to date - well
done, without that commitment we might not be here today on this forum.

I'm in since January 2017 and dont see myself as an early Bitcoiner but I can say
with time comes greater understanding of what Bitcoin can do for us and
thats not even getting into the technical side of things.

That's right. Those who stand in times of uncertainty, even though they go through various obstacles from people who don't like bitcoin and news that brings down bitcoin are something great. It's not easy to survive in times like that except for those who truly believe in the future of bitcoin, now it's proven that bitcoin has again recorded its highest price and most likely the increase in bitcoin will continue to occur until next year.

Bitcoin's growth can be this big also because they never tire of continuing to educate many people from various media, including this forum which continues to be useful for every investor because it continues to provide the latest information about bitcoin.
Those who have survived until now even for the future, they are now celebrating. Cheers to them.
This is the fruit of patience, patience is one of the keys to success.

No regrets but all lessons.
I basically might not relate directly with op but sincerely, my two years of experience with bitcoin, I must say it had been an amazing one and I’ve seen several opportunities that slipped me and frankly sometimes, there are temptation of regrets and wish I had what it take to grab the opportunity but regardless, NO REGRETS.

The bull run is an amazing one and though I didn’t have holdings at the moment, I was very watchful of it and the excitement was great.

Cheers to all those who might have sacrificed and contributed to the growth of bitcoin
Cheers to those holding
Cheers to those who sold

You all made the journey to worthy Omor and as such, no regrets.

Yes, indeed a big applause for those who trusted in Bitcoin and invented in it long time ago as they most be in massive profits, most especially those who might have invested in Bitcoin early this year when it's price value was still around $40,000 and yet held on to it without selling till this moment, as it's price have just skyrocketed and doubled in value just within the space of 11 years $88,000 at the time of writing this post,  of which this can only be attributed to Donald Trump's influence after winning as the 47th president of the United States of America.

Yeah, that's right. They have helped somehow through giving the others listening to their lies an exposure to Bitcoin into giving them an idea of what it really is.
Those times were like the dark age of Bitcoin where too many lies have been spread and made bad of Bitcoin's description.
But now, I think that many of those folks have already repented and they're already part of us.

This is a somewhat nostalgic thread.
Everyone deserves even more than a round of applause, a standing ovation. We are all part of the bitcoin success story.
In our very own corner we plan a tiny role that even those seem insignificant but still is a part of the whole. I got into bitcoin unconventionally but I have been here since then and have seen my portfolio grow.
The unwavering belief in this project with a cultlike following is absolutely mind-blowing.

And yes cheers to the next four years. I hope we'll all be here to witness this brewing bitcoin revolution.

It's undoubtedly been one hell of a ride. I remember the days when Bitcoin was just becoming popular. I used to claim small amounts of satoshis from faucets back in the day because I was interested in it. Its price was very low but still higher than any currency in the world, which fascinated me. I might not have been a member of this forum back then, but I was around when Bitcoin was priced less than $1,000. Unfortunately, I wasn't well-off back then and couldn't buy any, so I aimed to earn some, which I eventually did.

The regret of selling my Bitcoin early will always remain with me, like most of us because we are still here, and we can see where it has reached today. Thinking how much profit we could have if we had held on to all our assets makes us feel bad, but it is what it is. This regret teaches me patience, however, I'm satisfied with the fact that the money I got in early days from Bitcoin were used for good causes in my life.

Cheers to all of us who are still around and enjoying this wonderful innovation.
