I just watched the 2014 documentary "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" for the first time.
Charlie takes orders at BitInstant. Mark shows off Mt. Gox's servers. Vitalik writes for Bitcoin Mag. Erik sells SatoshiDICE. Brian & Fred found Coinbase. BTC runs up to $100.
What a trip. 🤯

@lopp The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin was the first full length Bitcoin documentary that captured some of the earliest startups in the space, including BitInstant and the infamous Mt. Gox exchange.

A brief Tweet of Lamassu History.
We started with an orange box in February 2013 at the International Students for Liberty (@sfliberty ) conference in Washington DC.
@nic_carter@WIRED Another Wired classic is when they declared Bitcoin dead in 2011. Turns out they tagged the cycle low almost to the day. BTC did +10,000% over the next 18months. wired.com/2011/11/mf-bit…
Remember that time @WIRED believed CSWs hoax and didn’t revise or retract their article for 3.5 years, and only then under heavy pressure? Ha ha good times, love the MSM
