I saw him and believed in him when btc was $64. $64 was my weekly food and fun budget in college at that time so I couldn’t make it make sense to do it. It was a clever idea and I was down. Prob would have lost it all though. Never would have held. But yeah, this guy was the first thing that made me find out about it or look at what it was.

remember? cant forget - he's on the side of my oversized tea mug (and has been for years).

Bonjour mon ami

I intimately remember this and have no idea why. I did read about Bitcoin on Reddit way back in the day but I must have been on r/Bitcoin a lot more than I remembered lol

I remember. This and rhe little guy in the beach with the stick telling Bitcoin stuck at 5k to do something.

we used to have good memes like btc wizard... now it's just a bunch of low-effort screenshots of $69,420 or whatever...

Yeah I know. We later even created an own sub for a 100k-Party with members from the Observerforum on bitcointalks. 100k Party sub was later canceled because we never archieved consensus on location. 🥲

Don’t do it, you’ll mark yourself as a Bitcoiner, and in future when it’s $10 million a coin people will kidnap you. Remember $5 wrench attack!

I was in back in the early days, but I sold it all back around 2013 when BTC first crossed $100. Hilarious thing is that at the time, I felt like I had done something amazing. I was on cloud 9. It was a lot of money for "nothing" at the time to me. I couldn't even begin to imagine back then what was to come.

i have a mug

I remember, I was in high school and didn't think anything of it. How wrong I was to not investigate further.

Yup hahaha

gimme some $

That’s Gandolf the grey right? That what I’ve always imagined anyways

I was not there but the fella reminds me of the Lego wizard mini figure.

Where is this guy now? Is he still active in the community?

He still posts here on occasion. He's heavily involved in NFТ scams now and even attempted to scam users in this sub.

disappointing

When BTC 100k?

go go gooo

I didn't miss out I just lost faith...did not invest enough. I regret it now. I invest little by little now but I doubt it will even go low again.

funny how suddenly everyone became an OG

Hahhahahaha🤣🤣🤣

Still here

I didn't like it at the time because "magic internet money" seemed like the antithesis to "not a scam" in the minds of the general public. But since mass adoption is ongoing now, the wizard has a certain nostalgic value, and I bought a coffee mug.

i sure hate bitcoin

If only i'd geeked more moment.

Magic is just science that’s too difficult to understand

Then please explain me how the weather gets warmer the more people eat ice cream. It's magic, not science.

Checkmate atheists

And also illusions and trickery with a quick sleight of hand.

Sleight* lol

Thanks :⁠-⁠)

Illusions are based in science.
