Well, if you did crypto around the time you joined here = 2019/06.
I can say that this normie predates your crypto experience with 3 years. A lot of people here way earlier.
My currently expired crypto magazine it's most popular article was "how to recover your Bitcoin password" ~ 2017. I've seen/experienced this 'movement' before ;).
Ps. Ethereum was already popular then because of it's "potential" of programmability.
It changes so fast that "when" is largely irrelevant. I started with crypto in 2013, just getting to play with Bitcoin a little bit. Was never a big holder, but waiting for the day it would see bigger adoption. I lost interest in BTC after the block size debate. My first exposure to ETH was shortly after they launched, but it took me a while to really understand how it works. These days I use ETH every single day, mainly via NFTs and side projects. I'm also interested in new and emerging chains with niche use cases, getting in early as a validator as a way of placing bets on potential future success... but I'm in no way a fanatic. I don't think crypto will "replace" fiat. I don't think NFTs will disrupt ownership, and I optimize my gains towards traditional investments. I find crypto fun, and I think it offers interesting ways for folks to interact with each other using programmable money. My gripe I suppose is how easily some folks dismiss it, but to each their own.
And got out because it's not interesting anymore.
