"Hmm, I can get an eighth of weed now, or $156,000 in 6 years.. I'll go with the weed"

I remember when btc was around $2-$3 and thinking it was very interesting tech. Then life kicked in, I was broke, and I put it on the back burner. Later found SR in 2012 and made my first purchase early 2013 (actually it was a free gram of mdma). That started a beautiful time in my life.

The good ol' days where there was a decent level of not just trust, but respect between vendor and buyer (before the RC boom anyway). Back when vendors interacted in the friendliest mannerisms possible and our community was peaceful and full of excitement. Now look where we're at

Fuck me, now that I see this screenshot I remember when things costed 5-10 BTC, maybe somewhere around 2012. I thought the concept of the Silk Road was groundbreaking and bitcoin would change the world, and yet I wasn't working and barely able to afford going out once a month. I distinctly remember wanting to buy a few hundred BTC and keep it for a while, but I didn't think I would be able to convince my parents to lend me the money, specially since bitcoin was mainly being used to buy drugs at the time (which of course that was what I would end up using some of it for, but...).

I could've been a god dammed millionaire by the time Mt.Gox imploded. Oh, well, I guess I missed that opportunity forever.

Compare the feedback of then to the bartard ramblings of today and it will provide a quick glimpse of how the user base has shifted and declined.

I remember finding out about the Silk Road from my local news haha, I was like no way you can buy drugs online. Sure enough I found out how to use tor and make an account. I was in high school at the time so I was too pussy to order anything plus I could find all the weed I needed locally haha.

If only I had never bought that 8th of weed for $165,000+usd worth of todays money!!! id be rich!.Argh...

but maybe they'll legalize drugs and refund all the confiscated money/btc from our old DN/SR mp wallets that they stole. until that day ill just have to keep waiting for my current btc to appreciate.

there are no "good old days" - if so it currently would be the " good old days" in 4 years. when did 4 years ago become the older days anyways, the good old days are a trick your mind plays on you, and you swallowed it hook, line and sinker.


[1 Points] FraterP:

So thats what good ole days look like.
