It all started in 2011, on one of my favorite message board communities that I am a part of.
We are ALWAYS discussing VPN's, and when Silk Road became the rave on the underground market, TOR came up.
The tech heads on the board began discussing this protocol called "bitcoin" and that that was the only thing one could use when dealing with the particular VPN, TOR.
And slowly, but surely, I came around and started to understand that bitcoin was way, way, way bigger than a single clandestine website pushed by the mainstream media!
This...is...a REVOLUTION!
