Pointless Digital geek "money". Ultra niche, No value, why bother. Too volatile, won't last. Worse than my decision to put red streaks in my hair as a teenager to impress my hairdresser. Everybody gets into BTC when they deserve to, I didn't for a long time

I attempted to CPU mine, didn't get anything after leaving it overnight. I told my buddy about it and how people had been excited because you couldn't make more of it. We both didn't really understand or care about why that was important at the time. This was within the first two or three years of Bitcoins lifespan.

It was such a brief moment. I doubt my buddy would remember at all. I didn't even remember until after some time had passed and Bitcoin became hard to ignore. You can try to ignore it but eventually you just cant.

I orange pilled by myself, I didn't know what bitcoin was about, but I just started to read like crazy on websites, and I just bough all I could at that point. I was pretty poor and sadly was not enough.

iirc I was building my first attempt at a startup out of college and saw an article on HN. "Dude some guy made this digital money and it's anonymous and people are buying drugs with it online."

I'm too late. Glad that was wrong.
