What was your first thought when you started mining bitcoin

medialounge · May 10, 2026

Like everyone,there was a simple video on YouTube then in 2010 about mining and the difficulties they could come along the way

I simply thought,what kind of currency was this
Meanwhile, I experienced scams like egold and liberty reserve of 2006 or so

Got discouraged along the line as went on doing deep finding if there was any support from the FBI but there was none

I just stopped there and forgot the 0.5 btc I already mined
Boy ,like I could get hold of that disc again I did the mining, should be work atleast 40k USD by now
But then,I made up my mind not to miss such opportunities again

My father was thinking of buying 100$ worth of Bitcoin a long time ago when 1 BTC was like 1$. We would be millionaires if he had bought and holded.

Returning to a saying I am very fond of: if we could know the future, everyone would already be rich—so we can only seize the opportunities right in front of us.

Back then most people thought BTC was just another weird internet experiment that would disappear. Hard to blame anyone because crypto space was full of scams already at that time. Crazy part is early opportunities always look stupid until years later.

My first thought was that I was a sort of scientist that was going to make millions. And that didnt happen.
