You're full of shit OP, there has always been a lot of crypto talk here. /biz/ was created as a containment board for all the crypto discussions happening on /g/. I can tell you that because I was around there before /biz/ was created and it has always had people talking about bitcoin.

I have older pics from when I was on 4chan dating back to 2003. It was fun, but it was a little too much for me, so I didn't come on too often. I started coming on much more frequently around 2008 or so and then met some girls from /b/ and eventually /soc/ IRL. Fun, but you didn't miss too much.

Anyways, I'm debating if I should e-mail him about creating a /cry/ board for the crying losers involved with crypto. Good idea?

But yeah nobody really had confidence in crypto. /Biz/ was a dead af board only good for the stock market thread (wasn't it the Robinhood thread at first? Idr) and random shitposts.

We skipped BTC, the constant crypto threads didn't start until ETH (once it got to the $4 range). Before that we had occasional business boomers giving real experience stories on their business but MOST threads were about real estate. Robinhood General was the main thread of biz back then.

All the threads about Bitcoin were flooding /pol/ and /b/ bitcoin threads in other boards was what lead to /biz/'s creation.

This anon is correct, /biz/ was created by moot explicitly to get the Bitcoin and Dogecoin threads off /g/. Anyone who think there was a "before crypto" timeline on /biz/ wasn't here during board creation.

There was however, a period of a couple years after Bitcoin crashed down from $1100 where we all thought crypto was literally dead forever and most of the topics here focuses on others like dropshipping.
