2011 was plagued with scam sites that made no sense; and most of the internet had no idea bitcoin existed or what it was. Before silk road and mtgox, it was just used by a couple of thousand enthusiast worldwide in niche forums and communities.
It was literally impossible to know about this stuff unless you were into those communities and if you were on these communities you could’ve mined bitcoin yourself so it was not that much use anyway.

That would be dope if it was forgotten and still worked. Unless it was connected to some poor bastards whale wallet somehow. I know that’s highly unlikely…. Just a fun hypothetical

I remember visiting this site around that time. Back then information surrounding bitcoin was a lot less accessible than it is now. I wasn’t sure how to create an address and what all that meant, etc etc. Naturally one of my biggest regrets is not taking the time to figure that out. Of course I probably would have paper handed @ $20k like a bitch anyway.
