yea, it was 2017. I was thinking the price was similar to the year. I also knew it was around a prominent date in my life, but considering its been groundhogs day for the last ~16 years I was thinking it was another time period.

How does an unlicensed site back then ever do anything than try to make poker annoying to play with your name/address.

their 'threats' made it abundantly clear they had no recourse other than prohibition from the network (which was a big deal at the time).

with Bitcoin price hindsight... if I felt the same way back then as I do today about WPN/Nagy, I would snap keep it. its never not been a cesspool of grift.

This isn't just any alarm, it's GOOGLE's alarm.

EDIT : All I know about quantum is basically from last year when I asked about it ITT and read some of the links that were offered up but still, lol @ that account.

It gathered some pace and it’s all over X now.

Feels like governments concentrate on whatever attack vector is doing the best in the legacy media. In the past it’s been energy fud or “no intrinsic value” nonsense. Now it’s quantum fud.

The responses I got earlier in the thread still are the valid points. And anyway if bitcoin fails we are all completely ****ed imo c’est la vie

The genesis block of Bitcoin references this paper:

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

This is the full paper, as well as the full Jan 2, 2009 paper, which I hadn't seen before.

There's maybe 10 copies of the Jan 3 paper in the world, so it's pretty rare.

Here's my reprint of the front page. We recently moved so haven't hung up any art yet

It's possible to turn off private messaging, I turned it off for my account. That poster is really weird though.

No they didn’t. They did talk about it but they didn’t do it.

It would have been a bad idea. After the forum got hacked around 2013 there were loads of hacked and compromised accounts. Unbanning them would have been a really bad move.

The entire forum was offline for maybe 1-2 weeks. 2012-2013 kinda time.

Some prominent posters or perhaps the official 2+2 Twitter account I can’t remember which helped pass the time by posting on Twitter links to classic threads on the archive site.

It came back and everything was resecured but some accounts were taken over in the months that followed.

It def happened. I triple guarantee lol.
