Feels like a good time to share my path from random person on the internet to @Coinbase to @1confirmation

Nothing special just curiosity and hustle which everyone has, it just needs to be unlocked

Coinbase is now a giant that's easy to hate on but started as an underdog just like every other startup. @brian_armstrong launched it by himself in June 2012

I got curious after reading his Hacker News post (https://t.co/t69Tz5E2Eb) and became one of the first users

Months earlier a @fredwilson post (https://t.co/wmu3WRuYCy) about BTC intrigued me and I made my first purchase by taking out cash from an ATM then going to a CVS to Moneygram it to Mt. Gox

Buying on https://t.co/lvwtxPqm8B was a huge improvement from that initial experience

Bitcoin wasn’t in high demand then so Brian sent "bitcents" to users 😂

Down the rabbit hole I went

July 2013: Cold emails ftw (this was one of many)
