#BitcoinRegret of #BitcoinAt10 multimedia series by @coindesk
2/19 When… Prius?
While the #bitcoin industry is infatuated with Lambos, @Rassah couldn't care less about suicide doors and instead purchased a planet-saving Prius.
There's one catch – he did it when bitcoin was at $22. https://t.co/z4lfuPGbpp #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/QJmUUIZLcu

4/19 Fee-Less? Yeah right…
Back in the day, bitcoin was hard to get your hands on.
So enthusiasts, including @SirBitt, has to go through a number of expensive hoops to purchase the cryptocurrency (in his case, from @SecondLife). https://t.co/194JpzTIbx #BitcoinRegret

6/19 Bitcoin is hard.
And @brianchoffman and others @OpenBazaar nearly had a heart attack when they sent $100 worth of #bitcoin that looked like $10,000 worth.

8/19 Every 👏 Single 👏 MIT 👏 Undergrad
In 2014, Bitcoin Core dev @JeremyRubin & friends raised half a million dollars to give everyone at the university $100 of #bitcoin.
In hindsight, that's a pretty good amount of bitcoin now. https://t.co/wRRtgDNuZ3 #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/VvmylaX0ER

10/19 I should've been just an investor…
Sure, launching a startup in the space has its benefits. But @coinsetter's @borntobank said buying #bitcoin would have been more lucrative than the exchange.
And definitely less work too. https://t.co/JfqCUODavy #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/D8xzJlxig4

12/19 Our friend, the Haitian President, was overthrown…
Which put a stop to @Kumail_Akbari and @nickspanos Haiticoin project, geared towards bringing some financial stability to impoverished people.https://t.co/6t6mEZN9Pd #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/BEocQy2YDq

15/19 More from the #Bitcoin Civil War
Bitcoin Core developer @Excellion regrets encouraging @brian_armstrong by telling him Bitcoin Classic didn't succeed because he didn't want it badly enough.
Whoa. https://t.co/j4ZTrfzxqc #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/FAqeRKIPTv

17/19 Just a little dip…
Gianni Versace's famous pool got #bitcoin entrepreneurs Jason King of @SeansOutpost and Moe Levin of @keynote_ae thrown out into the street and banned from the mansion…
At least for a couple years.

19/19 I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed…
So says @DataTranslator, the co-founder of now-defunct Avalon, which produced the world's first #bitcoin ASICs. To him, mining is about securing the network, not making a profit. https://t.co/27DM1KVMIu #BitcoinRegret pic.twitter.com/hc4wWccE3H

Lightning Network Trust Chain Twitter Event #LNtrustchain
#LNTrustChain – A #Bitcoin Community Event (video by @TiKawamoto) pic.twitter.com/pzcmePic9N
— Dennis Parker (@Xentagz) February 9, 2019
Some LN fun..
– I send 100k sats with https://t.co/va7XSnFii0 to the first person I choose to trust that replies to this.
– That person adds 10k sats and sends 110k to someone (Either from reply to a new tweet, or this thread).. and so on
How many sats before it breaks?

The bitcoin community is currently immersed in an experiment called the “lightning torch," and it's reached 37 countries so far. https://t.co/bFjdhAn9D6

Cool example of #BitcoinTwitter experimenting on the Lightning Network.

⚡️Torch received, now passing along to @starkness! #LNtrustchain https://t.co/YVMAv62fCN— jack (@jack) February 5, 2019

Ken Shirriff @kenshirriff mines bitcoin on historic computers
Mining #Bitcoin on the vintage Xero Alto would take thousands of times the age of the universe to succeed.https://t.co/SXXqo94Utr pic.twitter.com/JK6q0ROEfa

Could a 55 year old #IBM mainframe mine #bitcoin? Yes, but very very slowly. http://t.co/N1xLkJ339J pic.twitter.com/Im2YcW18HX

I attempt to mine #Bitcoin by hand, doing SHA-256 with pencil and paper. Not practical. http://t.co/0xQS7brSzo pic.twitter.com/2yyjepQ8qP

The Apollo Guidance Computer navigated to the moon, but can it mine Bitcoin? I tried it on our working AGC; at 10.3 seconds per hash, it would take a billion times the age of the universe to mine a block. Still faster than mining by hand or punch cards.https://t.co/uGXfDYWAHd pic.twitter.com/6bLpOzAhqK
