So only a small amount of btc could be bought mid 2010?

Did you say in 2010? There is no reason to buy Bitcoin at the time using PayPal, almost every homes, schools, hospital, library's have a Pentium 4 computer, in few hours you will have some Bitcoin mined straight into your wallet. It was this very easy at the time to mine some Bitcoin in a day, also why are you even asking this question? This was in 2010, what are we going to gain from talking about Bitcoin of 2010 in 2026?

Bitcoin has no value at the time, it was so cheap that it's 100% safe to meet up with people and trade them, physical P2P idea you know, the value is too small for someone to even think about wrench attack at the time, there was no such thing.

I think that I have read something like that online before, we're people meet total stranger to exchange coins and few old alternatives too like Litecoin at the time, but not exactly bin 2010.

2010 is over, long gone, it is time to focus more on the future now, because one day I wouldn't be surprised if people are talking about 2026 like it was 2012 again, some people are talking about too late in the early 2012 too.

Maybe, it's obvious O.P just wanted to know how people transacted with the use of Bitcoin in the early and late 2010. Because just as you said that with the use of Pentium 4 computer in the 2010, that it was possible to mined at least a whole full one Bitcoin. It's still also possible that there was some people who didn't even mined Bitcoin back then, but were ready to buy and trade Bitcoin for goods and services, just as Laszlo Hanyecz did with Papa Johns when he traded 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC, which later was marked as the first official trade people did with Bitcoin on that same 2010 on May 22nd. However, Software developer were the first to know about Bitcoin. So it very hard for an average person to know about it without having a tech skills or friends who are into it.

I think the bigger limitations as of then wasn’t really how much money someone had, but rather how much bitcoin was actually available for sale. As of then, the market was actually still small, so attempting to buy a large amount of bitcoin could have really skyrocketed the price or maybe simply taken a long time to fill. So the early investors had a much different things to worry about, compared to today’s investors.

I think he is mistaking the forum for a chatbot by the way he asks the questions!
As for the number of posts, nope, he isn't trying to do that cause if it were the case, he would have spammed the hell out of the forum in the last year he was on a pause. Besides, account growers tend to make at least one post in a two-week period to get the activity increase , thne when they have the merit, pump the posts also.


I think we have got too much into account farming and forgot that there is a whole 8 billion population out there with different questions, different views, and different obsessions.
There are plenty of them in the PS board, people who have never been interested in signatures or merit or anything else, but more crap than an account farm a day.


No, it wasn't that easy! A p4 2.8 had about 1200 khash/s by mid-summer, the hashrate was already at 1 gh/s, so it means you would be mining a block every 6 days, that's 50 coins compared that you could have bought for a few cents!
