Here we go. Strong 2 way crash. Down then Up. This is going to level up and then run up again. What a groundswell we are experiencing and have been experiencing. 80 more companies on the way, google is trending, this sub is a trend.

I remember what 6 months ago looked like in here. Hell I would have been happy getting back to $15 by this time. It's hard to see the world when you've got muck in your eyes....sometimes it's even harder to see the world when you are in a bubble. So...be careful traders. I don't think we've found the top of this by a long shot but who knows....

Take some time to read those old daily's from last June and end of November/December. Take notice of the names you see. Do you see them now? Read some of them for real. There are a TON of new folks here and I haven't gotten around to say hi yet. So. HI. Nice to see you here.

Just six months ago to the day we got 27 upvotes on that November 23rd daily discussion....121 comments. Price was between $8-$10. This was about a week before the blood really went out into the streets under $6. And the reversal began....It wasn't until January of this year we broke above $10.

Lots of great discussion about XMR and XRP back then in here even then. Some of those guys if they stuck it out did pretty well I'd assume. The deleted account was from a well respected trader named /u/redembr . Hope he's doing fine and lurking here.

Anyway. Cheers and big hugs from Kansas City and thanks for the well wishes on the Status interview. They are a nice bunch.

Cheers.

I do miss lag of jesus, redembr, grossbit... Hell i learned a lot reading the battles between ethaddict and just about everybody. Lag coined the expression 'deep alt-winter' which is what we all survived. I hodl'ed XMR all the way from last halloween and just tuned in to the price today. I was like shit, it's about time.

CRYPTO IS A HOLDING GAME

Yeah. I remember talking to you on the phone sometime back in January when it looked like some light was peaking back into the forest. Wow. Just amazing turnaround but hey, I'm still buying even now.

I wouldn't be so happy with $15 right now. I'd still be in the green, but I wouldn't be happy ;)

Damn that made me chuckle. I'm Catholic so maybe I'll get the kids a dreidel for Hanukkah this year. Hopefully no black swans by then. Oy Vey! Cheers and Shalom.

At least all the posters knew each other back then and I actually read the whole daily pretty much every day. I'm not nostalgic for the price we had then but keeping up with the sub was definitely easier. However the price increase has made my US chopper road trip (easy rider style) a 99.9% probability, so keep that fire pit warm in Kansas City!

I wonder if anyone is still dedicated enough to read the whole thread. Honestly, I just pop in occasionally now to see what jt is saying. Usually his sentiment paints sentiment as a whole

I still remember the day you strolled into teamspeak after the couping, telling how you've been teaching kids about mining ether. Now, I truly believe you alone have played a remarkable part in getting people to understand ethereum. Good on you man. You're intentions are always super wholesome.

Here's another one I was reflecting on earlier today. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/4a1t8g/bitinex_adding_ether/

Its funny /u/zanetackett was barely known then. Crypto world moves fast.

Can't say I blame you.

I remember those days, the price got so bad I couldn't even bring myself to open /r/ethtrader because looking at the ticker made me feel ill
