I grew up on Jolly Roger's Cookbook, Cult of the Dead Cow, IRC #hack, 3l33+ hax0rz, wardialing, VMBs, bridges, codelines, AT&T System 75s, k0dez kids, trashing, soldering guns & colored boxes, social engineering. In the 90s there was a 2600 meetup for phreaks and it had an underground vibe not unlike Stacker News or a Bitcoin meetup today.
Similar kind of people, different technology.
The ETF feels like the AOL of Bitcoin - brining it out of the underground and the normies masses to it.

I went to a couple of those 2600 meetups in Boston, but the guys there were a lot more plugged in than I was. Just kinda felt like a poser. Haha. Loved the reading material, though.

Lol. That's actually a little frightening.
