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.
In 2002 there were no bitcoins. But there were Epstein island parties

No, it literally didn’t exist until 2008, and even then only conceptually for another year.

Well, it’s a bit of an understatement.
Well, that’s a bit pedantic.
Only a bit. I’ve been trying to tone it down.
It technically didn’t exist until 2009. Before that it was a white paper.
Yes, which is why I said “conceptually” for the time between the original paper and the first implementation.
You did indeed. My bad.
Hey, it took him a while to do both, he was a busy guy!
