To celebrate Bitcoin almost reaching 10k, let's dig up ancient threads to find out what anons thought about it back then.

The only archive available that actually has such old threads is a piece of shit that doesn't have a search function, so you have to search for them manually, help me out.

That sounds like work.

No. I had an old trip on /g/ and half of the bitcoin bashing back in '10 came from me.

Fuck, I probably used the term "buttcoin" more than anyone else on /g/ back then

warosu is far better for this shit. Oddly enough, this archive only goes back to mid 2010 so I couldn't find my autistic rialing against bitcoin (most of which was done in 2009 and spring 2010)

After ETH there’s been nothing worth shilling for me.

It was that combination of a completely revolutionary idea and the will and resources to pull off the vision. I think ETH is on the cusp of realising that grand vision....Satoshis vision.

>This whole Ethereum thing reminds me of Doge coin, which is why this board was created in the first place, to get us all out of /g/.

A couple people mine the hell out of it when it first gets created (usually the creator), then shill it extremely hard until it's value doubles, then the creator dumps everything and watches it crash.

This whole minor "coin" infrastructure is just a anonymous decentralized pump and dump scheme, that has worked way too many times.

All it takes it the knowledge of how to create a coin, some server space, and a couple friends to camp a couple websites.

>It's only a pump and dump by speculators. There is no doubt in my mind that the devs take ETH seriously, however, that means dick as far as the actual price is concerned. Look at Ripple for example. They have way more of a powerhouse in terms of banking connections, Google sponsorship, Ripple Labs employees from various Fortune 500, banks and federal reserves. They are also the closest technology wise with the creation of Codius and smart contracts. Yet the price of Ripple has remained pretty stable and low. I would say ETH has about a year or less until the value drops and levels off like Ripple did.
>Even the makers of Ethereum said it's a useless buy and hold because they will be engaging in huge inflation during the early years.
>This ethereum is, at best, a fools errand, and at worse an outright fraud.

OMG and Link fudders one year ago.
