By most peoples account, this was still very early days. The USD price, seen on a pre-Karpeles Mt.GOX, had recently surpassed it\u2019s All-Time High of One-Dollar. I watched it climb up and kiss $31 over the next two months, before crashing back down to $2. Then $7. Then leveling off at $5. \u201cWell, that&#8217;s it.\u201d Said the forums and chat rooms \u201dBitcoin is dead. We\u2019ll never see $30 again.\u201d\u00a0 I was not convinced. Alternative currencies were already a fascination of mine, long before the idea became digital, and something about Bitcoin struck a chord.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019d spend hours running numbers in my head and on paper, speculating about the possibilities. I made charts predicting price against difficulty, and theorizing just how high we might go after the first Block halving in the far distant future of 2012. You think people look at you like you\u2019re crazy now\u2026imagine what this looked like before anyone outside of a message board had heard the name Bitcoin. Friends politely listened to me exalt the virtues of cryptocurrency, sometimes for hours at a time, before hesitantly urging that I might be involved in a Ponzi scheme. \u201cYou don\u2019t understand.\u201d I\u2019d say, \u201cYou\u2019re looking at the future. This isn\u2019t going away. It could go as high as $50, or even $100 per coin. It\u2019s only a matter of time. Someday, Bitcoin could even have its own listing on the New York stock exchange.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 14px;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"min-height: 14px;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Fast forward to May 19th, 2015:<\/b>\u00a0The New York Stock Exchange has just launched an index for tracking Bitcoin. The feeling is surreal for me, and I\u2019m sure for many of you too. We\u2019ve gone from Alpaca Socks and Servers to an open world of goods and services. We\u2019ve grown from a hand full of passionate nerds into a community of millions. We\u2019ve seen phenomenal highs and crashing lows, but never a slowing of adoption. The resilience of our community is taking hold. It\u2019s not about the price, or volatility. Bitcoin\u2019s success has always been tied to the passion of its community, and it\u2019s only getting bigger. So don\u2019t be afraid to be a little frivolous with your coins sometimes. Go out and buy a street taco or a latte somewhere. Give some coins to your friends. Speculate. Tell everyone. And most importantly, enjoy the moment we\u2019re in right now. The future is bright, and it\u2019s a lot closer than you think.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Open your free digital wallet <a href=\"https:\/\/holytransaction.com\/app#!\/signup\">here<\/a> to store your cryptocurrencies in a safe place.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Look at how far we&#8217;ve come.
