    Yep.... Bitcoin didn't really take off until 2010. I had a buddy who was an early adopter and had mined/bought hundreds of thousands of coins at one point. Spent it all on the silk road, he always used to say it was just a way to turn electricity into drugs.

    No, it literally didn't exist until 2008, and even then only conceptually for another year.

    That's why I said it didn't really take off until 2010.... As in people started to actually trade it for actual goods.

    It technically didn’t exist until 2009. Before that it was a white paper.

    You could travel back to 2009 and impersonate Satoshi Nakamoto. There are already conspiracy theories that Nakamoto is a time traveler because he did what a time traveler might do. He anonymously created Bitcoin, and then he disappeared. He has tens of billions of dollars of bitcoin sitting there unused. Or maybe it's just waiting until he gets back to his time.
