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.
