How much is that worth now?
Back when bitcoin mining was a novelty that was still feasible on a decent graphics card, I mined seven bitcoins. I kept everything on an external spinning rust drive. In the process of a move, the external drive was lost to wherever shit goes when you move house.
I’ve never figured out what happened to it, and for a long time I looked for it. When I used to drink booze I would get buzzed on an occasional weekend and look through my storage unit.
It’ll never show back up, and like a lot of things in my life is so far in the past that it is of no use to get all hot n bothered about it. Ships in the night, or whatever.
I looked into mining, and I could’ve earned 5-6 btc a month, at the time about $3 a coin so I decided against it.
Thing is if I had, I was just a high schooler and would’ve cashed it out to get dominos pizza or whatever
I think I cashed out the $100 of Bitcoin I had to help pay for a PS3. Today it would be worth like $15k
I spent like $100 on acid back when it was ~$2500 back in the day, oopsies!
I only had like 1.5 because i grabbed a basic CPU miner and ran it on all the computers in my highschool computer lab for a bit.
Mine was on an old laptop with ubuntu on it that is long gone. I also spent a bit too long looking for it
I have probably less than 1BTC from mining a thousand years ago. I haven’t looked for it yet but I’m sure I will eventually lol.
I once had 11 bitcoin in a wallet from these.
Sucks, but I’d have spent it before it was worth millions anway so
The best advice I ever gave to people was “buy $100-$1000 in Bitcoin and forget about it. Just put the wallet info in a safe deposit box and don’t ever look at it.”
This was back in like 2012, no one actually did it because they thought I was a dumb kid, but 10 years later they all came up to me and said “fuck, if I listened to you back then I’d have $5M right now”. Since most of them only read WSJ and shit, so they wouldn’t have heard anything about it till it was worth a ton.
BTC has always been a bag holding scam, but if you had the cash to burn it was definitely a fun gamble to make.
I’d have spent it before it was worth millions anway
I spent today’s equivalent of $2000 worth of bitcoin on a 50 Cent album because I didn’t know what else I could buy with it. Album was ass too.
Back in my day we used bitcoin to buy drugs!
Those were good times. Now we buy micro-BTC to buy drugs.
