/biz/ was created as a crypto containment board to get crypto talk out of /g/ so technically yes

They hated it and would post the original buttcoin images. It was a big joke with only a select few shilling in seriousness.

Yeah /g/ was top tier back in the days, now it’s consumer electronics central, sad really. It was my go to board, now I barely ever visit it.

I bought 900 ETH at $1 thanks to /g/.

>> No.10622316

Not only did we shill it but /g/ was talking about bitcoin within days of it being released. I'm sure one of the creators of bitcoin frequents /g/.

so it looks like the majority of /g/ was just people fudding bitcoin calling it a botnet with around 10% of the posts actually talking about how this could be revolutionary

So basically it's just like today, except 90 percent of the faggots in the world hate it, instead of 90 percent of the faggots on /g/? Seems about right

except it wasn't. I distinctly remember crypto was a minority on this board. There was mostly meme degree threads and threads about shitty business ideas (like dropshipping). There used to be a lot of shit talk against crypto, kind of like now, but with more trad stock threads.
