Please share some historic memes / moments / pictures / failures / blog posts / tweets / etc. that formed today's world of crypto.
anyone?
>>27824221lol i remember the walton tweet, absolutely hilarious. all of their reputation gone just because of a dumb giveaway scam
please anyone show the BMW Vechain fiasco
I miss the BTC-e troll box. Wish I had some screenshots.
>>27822729in case you feel like killing yourself today here's a video of how to buy bitcoin from 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmPg4V-YE0k
>>27824771>>27824640Stop posting this It’s too depressing
sergey's kefir milk tweets
I felt
>>27822729When Sergey "accidentally" revealed the contents of his USB drivehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5-i_ZDH_BE&t=3m25s
>>27822729
>>27825248My god the memories
>>27825248lol ADA is such a piece of shit
>>27825178
>>27825036>>27825179thinking about it, chainlink had so many meme moments it's almost a bit suspicious
>somebody’s sell order at 10 cents was filled by someone else’s buy order, seconds later the trade value was 300,000% up3 seconds of absolute chaos as sell orders triggered a waterfall chain reaction, driving the price down to virtually nothing before immediately bouncing back. The funniest part is it happened so fast the candle was actually green
>>27825248Dragonchain was the best one. Found an old wallet the other day on KuCoin after skimming through all my coinbase transactions...1 ETH invested into dragonchain (and completely forgotten about) is now worth a whole $25
>>27825474to add to that, just found this picture of this SIBOS presentation that was hyped up 24/7 on /biz/.that shit's hitting me hard because this was the moment when i sold all of my 400K LINK stack in 2017, dead fucking serious.
>>27825474It really has been one of the most fun tokens to follow. I remember when breadcrumbs would come out almost every week giving us a new meme to spam
>>27824788
Here's some gems. https://youtu.be/VvIaD8LryZ0https://youtu.be/jvBSEbJIAxEhttps://youtu.be/WdrSP0V-KLg

>>27826536
>>27826545i remember buying NEO at about same price + the first NEO issued token 'redpulse' or whatever. absolute. fucking. chink. chit.
>>27826626screenshot i took of mining litecoin (i think) for some reason, don't remember why
>>27826733old configs
>>27824788I'd watch shindlers list or some other super depressing movie 50 times before I'd watch that lol. Just imagining it has already depressed me greatly.
>>27825515I have PTSD from this. I lost 8,000 dollars (I was poor as fuck at the time) using stop losses that filled at $3ish dollars. Thank god they reimbursed me.
>>27826902other ones, some fun coins here, also back when dash was called darkcoin
pic related, the true predecessor of diamond hands. stay strong, soldiers.
>>27824221Fucking hell, I remember that. I saw it like a minute after it was posted because I happened to be looking at their twitter account and promptly dumped my bag.
>>27827085>richwhenjust a few more years it seems
>>27825474>almostwait, you don't think Chainlink is actually worth anything did you? Fuckin kek check this retard out
>>27827355some addresses i saved from cryptsy for convenience
>>27827403kek, that's why i sold early as can be seen here: >>27825947>pic relatedfucking hell almost forgot about that one LOL
>>27827651RIP mintpal, v2 deserved better
who remembers this guy? did he sell early or was he also getting recked?
>>27822729I lost 1 million dollars from mt gox.Don't remind me please
>>27828091you should be getting it back though, right? i thought they were doing some kind of refund thing
>>27828091were you already rich before? did u recover?

>>27825947You're such a fucking retard lmao. Imagine throwing away 10 million dollars because you fell for the early fud holy shit lolAlso this was probably the last time Sergey wasn't wearing plaid
>>27828560hope it isn't too late fren, i can't remember what exactly the deal was but i believe they were going to refund everyone somehowi got lucky and never stored my btc on gox and dodged the bullet>>27828555>pic related
>>27828555fuuuuuck i remember being so close to completely ape in back then.>>27828587hindsight is a bliss, anon. but i remember that i didn't even read the purpose behind oracles & chainlink. so i was kind of just blindly following the /biz/ shill of the week. i am in the 6 figure digit hell right now, so i am thankful for following crypto for that long anyway, could have been worse.
>>27824221LMAO
>>27824894what the fuck is this shit lol
>>27828555also have this one too
saved this back when bitcoin was still seen as a decentralised currency
>>27822729max nostalgia activatehas it really been 9 years? fuck I can still remember the resume review threads, this board was like 90% other shit until ethereum>eth ICO>all the /g/ boys get rich an leave>LISK ICO>all the smart /biz/raelis get rich and leave>chainlink>all /biz/tards get rich by hodlingwhy the fuck am I still here
>>27827986This dumb nigger lost 4 million worth of bitcoin by storing his private key in an email draft on gmail. His gmail got hacked and he lost his coins
>>27828215>>27827160reporting in, never selling
Just yesterday I was checking old Bitconnect threads>>/biz/thread/S6580985>>/biz/thread/S6547302>>/biz/thread/S6561228
>>27829020back when bitcoin actually was considered to be a replacement of FIAT currencies.>>27829140fucking lol, i didn't even know. that's hilarious, suits him right.
>>27822729after about 8 years i have finally found the company that held my 3BTC, MT GOX.its still a hard pill to swallow after all these years.
>>27824788>it only took 3 minutes to doAHHHHHHHHHHHHAt least I can cope with being 14 years old back then
the bitcoin bear whale caused me to lose my comfy job working at cex.io/ghash.io, the price crash to $150 made them panic and cease all cloud mining operations and fire most of the people working therehttps://vimeo.com/273629899
>>27829317as mentioned by the anons before me, suit a claim, if you didn't. might get some money back. https://www.mtgox.com/
>>27829117wait nvm I remember why im still herefuck
How long until I'm accepted?
>>27825947I think in the final analysis this has to be my favourite link meme. In 50 years I'll be telling my grandkids about the toilet memes.
>>27827723Holochain was a literal tranny scamcoin right?What was the "hardware" they sold?
>>27829140Tax fraud, simple as
who /kringlechads/ here?
>>27829452I have no information associated with the account.I was young, and crypto at that point existed soley for drugs and black market situations.No one even knew if it was going to remain legal, my details were written on paper, by my literal child hands and have been long lost since I had moved property multiple times since then.feelsbadman but the reality is i was retarded and i got burned for it
>>27828024m o n i q u e is a new classic
pic related, it was at this moment where all of the crypto community realised, that ETH scalability is absolutely FUCKED>>27829519will take a while but it's kinda off-topic although i am 100% unironically bullish in BAO.
>>27829636
>>27827943If we're talking old coins, I looked into potcoin back in the day. Also I almost got the byteball airdrop but I was too late.
>>27829776
>>27828215I'm still holding about 100k dgb.
>>27829869potcoin lasted forever, every 420 was pump timedo you remember the shitshow of paycoin? & gaw miners?https://cointelegraph.com/news/ceo-behind-gaw-miners-paycoin-ponzi-scheme-sentenced-to-21-months-in-prison
>>27828560are you already a multimillionaire or something that you don't care about this?I didn't keep any funds on it but they have been spamming me about the bankruptcy proceedings for years now.
>>27824788Why did he make them open an email just to generate the "Buy now" button?
Thanks for playing!
>>27824788jfc
HEY HEY HEEEY
>>27825248>that BTC to ETH ratio

>>27829730holy fucking kek
This thread needs more Bruce Wagner
>>27825094Holy shit lol i posted that. Were back live again man
When Vechain announced they would have a VET token instead so they had some weird conference where they picked up Thor's hammer
>>27830834it's funny how now nobody gives a fuck about decentralisation, anyone could do anything to btc and nobody would care as long as it made them money still
>>27828505holy fuck i almost forgot about cryptopia. So many telegram PnD's were hosted here
>whaleclub teamspeak
McDonalds Coin getting to .04 in the first 24 hours was a crypto world record.
>>27825094LOL palm beach confidential, holy flashback>>27831358it's kinda sad desu. newbies don't know about the initial incentives and real purpose of bitcoin.
>>27822729I was going to b uy BTC in 2012 but mtgox was the only place I knew of that I could buy from and their registration process was a pain so I didn't even bother. I would be a millionaire now if I actually did buy in.
>>27822729If this shit shows you anything it's that just because you can talk/tweet/or post does not mean that you should.
>>27831739crypto in general, i really miss being able to mine literally everything, and how community focused everything was, and premined trash dying on arrival>nights spent talking to community members on irc for coins and developing things with themsome of those frens i still talk to, now some work for cardano, have their own exchanges, etc etc
Am I an oldfag now?
>>27832178
>>27824640>you'd be 65M rich today oh
>>27832307Fun fact: I was a miner, I sold my 2.2mil DOGE for 2.4 btc in 2017. Now the btc are worth 90k and the DOGE would be worth 120k
>>27832178why do all successful cryptos start with pizza deliveries
>>27830051yeah kinda. I was involved in the mintpal scandal too, I'm pretty much over crypto - moved onto greener pastures. I'm gonna check out this gox thing though, I hadn't been following it.
>>27824221This one tweet sank the entire project that’s wild LOL
>>27825094What happened to this? Remember seeing something about a rapper joining?
>>27832586hahahahahAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>27832883Fucking Elon musk I swearSon of a whore
Anyone remember the hardware that was basically this meme?
>>27824221>pic related. It’s bag holders of that crypto that saw the tweet
>>27824788>the pajeet scammers in the comments in that videofucking hell I hope india gets NUKED
>>27832980a coin meant as a joke doubling in value and almost reaching the top 10 because of a Tweet shows that, no matter in what coin you're in right now, we all are earlyvery very early
>>27822729Does anyone remember that time in 2017 that a biz post about Vitalik dying accidentally made it to the trending news section on google about ethereum causing a massive 50% sell off. Probably the most expensive shitpost on biz to date.
>>27833310hahhahahahhaha yes!

>>27825474Is this the chick that's working as marketing in a blockchain project (can't remember the name now)?
>>27835676yes, chainlink. she was fired shortly after if i remember correctly
>>27835940>yes, chainlink.nope, celsius
>>27835940I think i found the GDP ep. 349. Do you remember her name?Can't believe fat fk Sergey fired her simply because she was in a porno.
I own sime official EY niggers on waves..Ironically after the wave cucks took it off their coin become forgotten
>>27836229>simply because she was in a porno.>simplyyeah, SIMPly
I spent 1 btc on milocoin years ago after buying but selling trump coin early.. I still have those milos and the blockchain is dead and I cant move it. I remember elecrion night trump coin mooned like crazy... Could of turned 5k into 1m

>>27822729>Please share some historic memes / moments / pictures / failures / blog posts / tweets / etc. that formed today's world of crypto.https://twitter.com/binance/status/1238141676066975745?s=20https://feest.io/chainlink-flash-crash-binance-march-2020/>I remember the day that CZ stole 900,000 chainlink for $90.00
>>27827160Hi Digibro, reporting in. Sold my stack at the peak but I'll always remain a digimarine
Some /biz/ anon back in 2018 made a shitty ERC-20 token called "Monero Gold"They managed to get it listed on some shitty exchange and managed to get a ton of pajeets to set buy orders before intentionally integer overflowing the burn function in the token contract and exit scamming.
>>27834108This will definitely be a top 3 moment for a long time.
>>27837150bitcoin 9k eoy
>>27837407based
>>27835940she wasnt firedshe runs it now
>>27824221lmao one tweet killing the entire project poor bizonacci
>>27837469part of me wishes that would happen. But so does everyone, which is why I don't think it will crash that low ever again. There is one difference between now and those previous charts, bitcoin is now trusted as an investment. We crashed from $10k to $5k when corona started, but so did all markets, because everyone thought the world was ending. That said we'll probably see a flash crash at some point this year
>>27835384holy fuck imagine getting mogged that hard

>>27836708Trump coin is what originally set my eyes on crypto. Never bought any though. I did buy potcoin on some sketchy exchange my first week on /biz/
>>27824221can’t believe I didn’t sell this shit at 45 fucking dollars
https://twitter.com/mikeinspace/status/957082775374499840?lang=enI have no idea how this guy avoided jailtime

>>27830918oh Im not the only one. Is there any hope for us?
>>27829140He lied lol
>>27838959I cut those losses long ago
>>27829636KEKI remember this, wow
>>27838083Looks like they were astoterfing a competition and forgot to log out of their main account. That or they won their own contest and bragged about it
>>27836972imagine the cum she’s had on her face
>>27839225oh
>>27824894>2mil doge sent in 2014>>27829140You gotta be an actual retard to believe he lost it all>>27837274Worse, Nigerians
>>27824788God damn, yesterday I was going way back in my email to around 2012 when I was mining bitcoin and would get notified when I received a deposit. I was making 1 BTC every other day. Too bad I stopped after 3 then lost most of it on a shitty investment site.
>>27824221waltongangwaltongangwaltongang
>>27829140you're a fucking moron lol
>>27825407For some reason anytime I see someone mention ADA is always a black guy pumping it or someone who is incredibly lacking in technical understandings. ADA is a ghost chain that everyone stakes on and nothing happens.

this thread seems to be a great reminder to evaluate the fundamentals of an investment and try to figure out its true value instead of treating it as a ticker with a number attached to it or listening to fud or fomo
This fucker would be worth over $2b right now, assuming that he never even made another transaction.
>>27841314>this space used to be referred to as the wild west of crypto>now it's tame as fuck and super predictable

>>27841611He really did nothing wrong. Fuck statists
>>27824756fuck that stupid site. i lost all my 2014 bitcoin because of them
>>27841922Will he accept my LinkedIn request sir?
>>27841611>>27841922He was kind of stupid desu. Also the way he got caught by using his "anonymous" alias which had connections with his real life email with his full name.
>>27842085not to forget:>using a local cafe's internet with no additional precautions>using his name/email to discuss such a concept online before creating it>having a linkedin profile in which he wrote about and listed certain activities as a profession while being incredibly vague
>>27841922>became a Libertarian>ends up hiring who he thought were hitmen to kill multiple people>also tries to help who he thought was the Hells Angels in Canada traffic their drugs on his websiteDINDU NUFFIN. Want to see the closest thing to a cartoony supervillain? Give a Libertarian a lot of money.
Does anyone have the image of the black guy on Twitter saying “one day tron will be $1000 a coin” from 2017?
Anyone got the "insert finger" Ambrosius scam and their "cutting edge" hardware which was a fingerprint reader hooked up to a raspberry pi? The whole thing was about 10kg and the size of a small fridge. Fuck that was funny
>>27842439The hitmen stuff was a trumped up charge that prosecutors fabricated, they couldn't prove it in court.Stop falling for statist lies.
>>27843064> cutting edge" hardware which was a fingerprint reader hooked up to a raspberry pihory shiet i missed that
>>27836103holy fuck lmao

i still remember cryptsy
>>27845199kek only non pink character is a smug schiff.This is art.
>>27839999Digits so I'm going all in.
>>27825947Bro how do you not kill yourself I wanted to put 10 grand in but never did and I still want to kill myself but I never ACTUALLY had a stack to begin with.
i might start hosting nodes for dead coins, could be fun to revive them
Some biz historyAlso not a single joost post ittbaka newfags
anyone remember fedoracoin?
>>27824788Any other oldfags here who posted on /g/ back in 2011 when bitcoin was being shilled and never bought any? It can't have just been me r-right?
>>27848519They would just get 51%'d (or in this case 100%'d) and someone would create a few sextillion coins or something
>>27848938doesn't matter too much, especially if i can get a few additional nodes up elsewhere, ensuring it's just for educational purposes rather than actually putting money into
You often see crops of this one.
>>27848873Yes, although I didn't use it much.I was there at the end of 2013 though and mined a bunch of doge, and sold it now.
>>27833586based
>>27848873i remember when everyone was saying that btc will never be worth $1.00
>>27842439He wanted to hire a hitman to protect his customers identities. Most big companies happily sell your data or say we dindu nuffin if ur info is leaked. But dpr was willing to kill fags that would threaten his customers. Based imo and he didnt set up the rules for drug trafficking he just played dm and made transactions easier and with less conflict
>>27848873I remember reading about bitcoin in 2011 and begging my friend to buy some with me. He killed himself last year, kek fucking retard coinlet
>>27822729COINYE NIGGER
>>27824756I loved that shit. Mostly lurked tho.Did you post often? What was your nickname?
>>27843094You can literally look at the message logs and bitcoin transactions that correspond to the interaction nigger. He is probably just an idiot that got scammed but he still tried.
lmao they still are tring to shill this trash on /biz/ fys and delete your 4chan acc so stupid to check how you try to scam people I’m not a bastard who will believe in this bullshit, I use Bot Ocean for profitable trading with unique strategies
lmao they still are tring to shill this trash on /fiz/bys and delete your 4chan accso stupid to check how you try to scam peopleI’m not a bastard who will believe in this bullshit, I use BLOW-ME-900 for profitable trading with unique strategies
>>27851439>>27850707what did she mean by this?
>>27825407>>27840436it really is incredible that this piece of shit is still has so much hype. BTFO cardano shills with one question, "but what can it do today?" >>27840626if "insider knowledge" means having a big cardano bag, then yep sure thing buddy
>>27841314ha that's good but no, it was similar but with shitcoins
>>27842305people back then, and today, vastly underestimate the power of the surveillance state. sure, it was an open secret everything on the phone was recorded. but you start mentioning Room 641A-tier level of tinfoil and people start to think you're crazy. Just remember, if that was made public in 2006 after 3 years of use - what exactly do you think is being used today that we won't know about for years to come? I'm only going to say this once. Many of you won't listen because it's the equivalent of the one sober guy at a frat-house rager giving sound investment advice while everyone is getting their dick sucked by Food Tokens. put at least 5-10% of your portfolio into XMR. at FUCKING least. or you are destined to end up with gains that you literally are unable to move without getting datamined into oblivion.
