    In 2010 I built a new computer. I was interested in bitcoin from a “this is technically neat” category. I set it up and was able to mine dozens of coins per day.

    I did. It was all set up and working. But it generated a lot of heat in my upstairs So. Cal. Apartment. So I stopped. Just deleted the coins because they were pretty worthless then.

    I don’t get too upset though because I never would have held them to $50k each. I would have sold them for a buck each.

    But I “could have” if it wasn’t so hot out. ;)

      My friend told me about Bitcoin when it was about $8 per coin. I was young and making some extra cash from working and not really buying too much stuff so I could have easily tossed down $100 on some crypto and let it ride.

      The very next time I even bothered paying attention to crypto was when Bitcoin shot up to 78k from like 60k.

      So yeah, I feel this lol.
