It's incredible that it's now been five years since Shelley launched on Cardano.
I'll never forget this launch party we had with everyone, Cardano has come such a long way from these days.
This was a special time in the ADA community. Hope you all are well!

This is honestly one of those moments I'll look back to for the rest of my life. Staying up all night to launch both Bloom, and Bloom Two.
We had users in the Discord waiting for us, so they could delegate. I got both of the nodes up, and then proceeded to make 3 videos.
I made these videos without sleeping, so I could post them in the AM.
These three videos were then seen by over 100,000 people, how to stake, how to choose a pool, etc.
It then led us to mint the 8th ever block on Cardano after Shelley.
Thank you @RichardMcCrackn for being gracious with the presence he had back then. I wouldn't be where I am today without his willingness to let any SPO come on the channel and talk Cardano!
