I first got into Bitcoin in early 2011 after hearing about it on an episode of Security Now. Over the years people have rolled their eyes (oh my god he's talking about Bitcoin again) and the only time anyone has ever given a **** is when the news is salacious: drugs, murder-for-hire, sex, "who is Satoshi"... You get the idea.
Now things are different. All lot of people care. And the attention is rarely good. It seems like everyone in the god damned world is against us. Bankers, governments, precious metals investors, people who lost money in 2014 or missed the boat entirely, altcoin advocates, remittance companies, etc. We have had to deal with absurd coverage in the mainstream media, the threat of regulation & bans, price pumps and crashes, attacks on the network/protocol. If that wasn't bad enough, now we have to deal with hard fork attacks, "supported" by a small army of Reddit accounts whose habitual indignation and hostility defies belief (see below).
I just want to say I'm still here. I still support Bitcoin even if I'm not actively clicking the "upvote" button for you guys. I genuinely believe Bitcoin can survive this. But I'm going to get some fresh air and let these trolls party amongst themselves. Keep HODLing and don't give up!
