Oldfags come to together, let us talk and reminisce of the days where ETH was rumored to be a Russian scam, trumpcoin being shilled, sharpie in the poopers and digi-chan making her rounds with antshares.
Oldfag thread
seek the b e a n s
link threads remind me a lot of milicoin threads
milocoin
Holy FUCK I forgot about BITB
I remembered when it went from 1 sat to like 3 sats and so many anons FOMOd and got dumped on so hard
Kind of sad you can really see the direction of this board change. Back then threads weren’t completely full of shitposters and shilling was minimal. It was like the gold rush of biz.
I remember when OMG was rumored to partner with McDonalds in Thailand. Jesus fucking Christ.
Who remembers the epic RDD pump from 5 sats all the way to around 50 sats? I made so fucking much off of that pump
le pen coin is lookin pretty hot
it will easily btfo macron coin
MINISTER YOU SATOSHIIIIIIII
whats the next bitbean?
just a complete shitcoin with a funny name and on good exchange like bittrex was in early 2017 but hasnt pumped yet and is relatively new??
tell us more about those wonderous times, user. is it true that antshares got shilled similar to how link is getting shilled now?
Early in the summer of 2017 it was rumored that ANS was going to be rebranded. I remember the ATH of ANS in June 2017 or so was around the price that NEO is right now. So many people didn’t take it seriously because of the logo but after the rebranding it took off.
Honestly the chain link shilling has seemed so coordinated from the start it’s become a meme at this point. It’s gotten way more out of hand than what ANS or NEO ever was discussed about.
the old moon missions came and went, each with their own different vibe and memes
some anons repackaged this coin culture to force link, which has been shilled non-stop on Jow Forums since september 2017
its ironic, because unlike some of the old moon missions that did a 100x or more during the bullrun then quickly faded away (PIVX), link did a 5x at best from its initial shilling price of 25 cents but never went away. its the most shilled coin ever on Jow Forums and yet the returns are weak compared to many others
I got rekt so fucking hard by OMG. Right when I was starting out in crypto jun you fucking jungle gook scamming faggot mother fucker
I remember whenever XRP was the highest growing coin of 2017. Shit was crazy to watch, unfortunately it’s centralized but earned a lot of anons here a pretty penny.
OMG was one of the ones that boasted real world application uses and looked promising but now you barely hear about it on Jow Forumscrypto and here. I doubt it’ll ever make a comeback.
Ant was insane. I got in around 2$ when people on biz started talking about it. Then it became neo and went to like 50$ in a day. I remember I just kept checking my phone and was blown away. It's too bad the board is full of shills and 4chain try hard now. Like most of half chan now.
hOLY FUCK does anyone remember the biz delegate? Where are we at now? We used to run that fucking list back when ARK was booming.
I’m getting antshare vibes from eth desu
Digibyte marine reporting for duty
We very well could see an ETH-like bull run with NEO the next time bull market swings around. However I’m investing most of my play money into big coins onto Coinbase because those will reach mass adoption by normies first and the ideal coins to dump your bags onto newfags coming into the market. NEO is also on Coinbase, just not buyable, and I see much potential in it.
Is that really what the old biz delegate was?
I went to a meetup for ark in NYC and the biz classic people said that their delegate was called biz classic because it was a pun on ethereum classic and the name of the guy, "biz", who previously ran a delegate.
I guess they didn't want to be publicly associated with Jow Forums.
anyone remember the name of that one Bitcoin alt that did a 100% in a matter of hours? i think it was Bitcoin black not sure though.
Who was riding that XRP pump to 1000Sats...that was insane ....
>bought antshares at $3
>wake up one day its $15
What the actual fuck was i thinking about?
At one point i had 70k in crypto. Now the same portfolio is worth less than 2k.
Im a fucking retard.
I bought Antshares at $1.55, held through $170+ and still haven't sold. Fuck my entire life.
I browsed biz very briefly in 2015 but didnt stick around. Came back and got into crypto in august 2017. Wish I woulda made it with eth and ans back in early 2017 with the old biz. I hope chainlink saves me from wagecucking but honestly I hate the newfaggy culture around it.
If any of you were true oldfags you'd remember PandaCoin and maybe even own some.
"biz" was a guy from here that called himself "Magnet." I saw a post here mentioning Ark in 2017, looked into it, bought some bags and told Moon about it. A mutual friend of Moon and I created an Ark discord and invited us. Magnet and other Jow Forums arkies joined and we all rallied around him as /our delegate/.
Over time we saw he didn't really know what he was doing. Moon and I helped him with all the technical stuff. After 2 weeks, Magnet accidentally sent ~2400 Ark to a single wallet instead of distributing it to his voters (us) and everybody was pissed. Magnet couldn't really give us an explanation for his fuckup so we kicked him. Moon and I made a new delegate called "biz_classic" as a nod to the Ethereum/Ethereum Classic fork and joked about how we were "forking" Magnet's delegate by absorbing the voters he exit scammed -- including ourselves.
>I guess they didn't want to be publicly associated with Jow Forums.
Our association to Jow Forums and Jow Forums are clear and has been used to FUD us on reddit and slack, which is ironic given how Jow Forums as a community has probably contributed the most to Ark on a technical and shilling level.
Not old Jow Forums but I’ve been on Jow Forums for like 13 or 14 years now and I very clearly remember calling people faggots for shilling btc on /b/ and many other boards throughout the years, even as early as 2011 too.
Fug, I still think about it sometimes
I bought some ARK just because it was shilled with a moonman meme and I'm racist lol. Ended up tripling my initial with it despite not knowing wtf it is.
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining!
sure how about they days of ten bagger pumps?
remember when it pumped to 3000 days? WEW
wow a non shill link comment so I’m gonna take the opportunity to ask, what do you think is behind it all? Disclaimer I do own some.
Holy shit I remember exactly where I was the day they rebranded. Never seen my portfolio pump so quickly. I’ve been blessed in dropping 10k from my savings into ETH at 25 then all into ANS at 5. Also thankful a friend told me to jump ship when the whole market crashed so I threw all in on Link. 2 years later sitting on 250k Link waiting for the final moon mission before I can retire. I’ve held through so much bullshit that I’m immune to selling early. Can’t fucking wait.
I remember someone here made a JP Morgan erc20 token in 2017.
Now there's a real JP Morgan coin...
Can any of you oldfags tell me what is going on? Is it all over?
>Is it all over?
No. Just think about it this way, it’s closer to the bottom than it is the top.
What do you think the bottom is?
That wasn’t just a rumor though. They actually partnered with omisego.
it's impossible to time the market, just load up on GOOD coins while you can. so basically ETH/BTC.
How about XMR or RVN
I member. Cunt was giving them out for free hahah.
you're going to have to learn how to evaluate coins on your own. the only use case for XMR is drugs, and it's a currency which means it's a bad investment since currencies are not stores of value. and any coin with many billions in supply is a scam meant to take money away from you under the guise of being cheap.
Made my first 10x on fucking bitbean
t. Jun
There's gotta be something besides eth and btc though
trumpcoin wasnt even shilled here alot, same as niggercoin. eth was shilled for over a year, digibyte was shilled HARD for few month (I still believe), neo was nice since i actully got in, only about 30 cuz broke fag. atleast we can buy them today for the old price tho...
not at the moment, all shitcoins are vaporware. I have a couple thousand in coinbase alts but that's a tiny percentage of my whole folio and I'm going to sell them as soon as them moon or take a 100% loss on them.
Chang I had no idea you still browsed here. Thought you and moon jumped the Jow Forums ship.
Is the delegate still up? I remember there was like a text hyperlink somewhere showing the list of all the delegates ranging by the weight of the pools (how many ark was in each delegate) is that still around?
Wow I guess a google search would’ve answered my question. I’m surprised we’re still at the top
t. phoneposter
>what do you think the bottom is
>it's impossible to time the market
this user is correct. but for shits and giggles, I think the bottom has already been painted. regardless, we’re closer to the bottom than the top.
I think it was Bitcoin Dark or something and another one the same day. The candles on Poloniex were massive that day.
People were calling $1 XRP EOY in the Poloniex trollbox during the XRP pump to 1000 sats, almost exactly 2 years ago, and it seemed like an unrealistic meme. I had 100k xrp at the time I purchased with $600. Even the first run up to 5 cents was wild and like nothing I'd seen before.
I had so many ANS... I could have made six figures off of the Numeraire I bought but sold for a few hundred dollars. Things were so wild then.
I remember buying because "Chinese Ethereum"
1.7k. I don't think the bottom is in for a few reasons, main one being that the next bubble is the one where industries begin to really blockchain tech and most altcoins which should be bringing new use cases and value to the blockchain are almost all just vaporware still. The most important altcoin in the market that will bring industry adoption being chainlink is still just vaporware. Ethereum didn't take off until 5 months after their product released. so that's why i'm expecting the start of 2020 to be when chainlink will 10x from here. 2021 will be the start of the bullrun for btc and ethereum.
>ctrl f “panda”
>1 result
nice, there are still some around
I remember seeing that shill and thinking it was a scam. Why would anyone buy that over the actual Ethereum was my thought. Like the BTC copycats which all failed.
industries begin to really (adopt) blockchain tech*
Fuck, sharpie in the pooper is an old meme already? Feels like that was just a few months ago but yeah, I guess it's been like three years...
Bitbean had the best memes, I miss that little guy. I want to be a simple farmer again.
Link is more like ETH how 50% know it's teh future and 50% fud the shit out of it. ANS kinda came out of nowhere with 10x basically in a day.
i got pandacoin from the great wolong himself. Though i didnt take crypto seriously at the time so i'm still not rich.
another antshares is out there right now and probably gets mentioned here sometimes but is drowned out by retarded shills so nobody will pay attention to it until it's too late
i love how oldfags in here are saying chainlink is vaporwave shit but yep it held its value while btc and eth tanked. seems to me like link would have saved a lot of people. the most bullish thing is how many oldfags are hiding link. At one point eth too was a shitcoin and at one point btc was the only shitcoin lol im gay and i hold chainlink lmao
Damn. This makes me feel better. I had $5k ready to sink into antshares knowing full well it was a chink scam but I probably would have held too long like this retard.
Go on....
That was literally the only selling point and it made no sense
>tfw you didnt buy
Everyone forgets about the circulation cap. Once all the BTC is mined that’s when the true test of a bullrun begins.
Everyone forgets that BTC’s ATH is 1K January 2017. We are no where near that. When the cycle ends the floor will always be higher than the last one, and half the fucking retarded idiots on here don’t think history will repeat itself.
the revolotion sir
what do you mean
Trump coin was my first successful investment. Turned 2k USD into 7k USD off some Alex jones rumor. The creator of the coin was an actual pajeet named chicken and the entire premise of the coin was flawed. Good days.
Actually surprising to see a lot of oldfags not on the LINK train. I hated the endless link shilling a year ago but it started to catch my interest because I realized how much it reminded me of early Ethereum shilling, more specifically chainlink memes gave me a feeling of nolstagia to the early Ethereum days where vitalik was memed non stop. It lead me to research it and I can confidently say chainlink is the strongest Oracle provider and has the best token economics in this market.
