In Jaurary 2016 I first heard about Ethereum on this board. At the time it was $1 and it was heavily shilled here and there was no such thing as an "alt" coin as far as this baord was concerned. It was just ETH. No mention of LTC, XMR or even BTC. ETH was the shill.

At the time i tried to buy bitcoin to get in on this ETH thing. I don't even remeber why I was on this board. I even downloaded GETH and tried mining for all of 30mins on my GPU. At the same time the only place I found that would sell me BTC in Australia wanted my ID, Passport and bank details.

I bailed. Uncomfortable with the concept, I let it be and went on holiday with my partner like a normie.

Coming back from my holiday 2 weeks later, ETH had risen from $1 to nearly $10!!!

Obscene! 1000% in weeks.

That was an obscene increase and I had missed the boat because I didn't do the hard bit and take the plunge. At this point it was pretty much an epiphany. If you did not get involved at all, there was a 100% chance of making NOTHING.

So I purchased my first ever bitcoin (4x) at the ripe old price of $$600 AUD ($450 USD i think)
