Nah, you would've spent it on a pizza as soon as you had $15 worth of bitcoins.

My buddy had a few hundred of them. We spent them all on fun stuff from silk road. Wasn't thinking it was going to be worth much

I remember back 2012 it was going from like 5 to 15 then back down. Thought it was a ponzi scheme, still do. I don't know how it survived the trading bot scandal (the spike in 2013). Whole thing is manipulated big time by the whales that were early adopters.

I ****ed with mining wayyy back in the early days. I was in prime position to capitalize on the whole thing if I had had any faith in it. Almost makes one want to rope in retrospect. My parents would be so proud of me if I had become a Bitcoin millionaire.

I knew about them very early on.

There's a story called 'The $18 Million Dollar Pizza'.

Guy brought two pizzas from Papa John's for what is now $18M in BTC.

I knew about BTC a little before that story was 'The Million Dollar Pizza' (srs)
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.
