I was one of the lucky ones who bought bitcoin so I could buy acid on the internet. Years later I put a down payment on a house with the change that I forgot about. DARE was wrong.

I mined a few back in the day. I think I got a couple pizzas and a new router out of it. Could've bought a decent house at the peak value. Oh well.

We have a few 100k and it's just gaining. Mined it several years ago. Definitely not something for people who don't understand it but Definitely worth it if you did.

All of them are, as long as you're measuring them in Argentine Pesos.

Alternative joke: Bitcoin is gaining right now... No wait, it's dropping, gaining, dropping...

Sometimes i feel like im the only one living it, i see it as Karmic justice because i tip really well and try to be nice to animals.

I played around with it for a bit in 08/09. Got a few coins, but didn't keep going with it and lost the wallet at some point.

yeah that's an easy lie to call out. Genesis block was 2009. So 2008 is already a no go. And very few people would have even known about it... let alone get their hands on the original software let alone mine something.

or you know he just doesn't remember the exact year because it was fucking 15 years ago.

Don't attribute to malice what is adequately explained by spotty memory

[-] Pansen@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

If you were in that early, you'd know.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

what if he meant 2009/2010? that's literally 1 year off.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

And if you were in a couple years later, ya might not know

Seriously if they are in their 40s or older I'd get being off by 2-3 years which I would not understand when I was 20.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hey, the 80s were 20 years ago.

[-] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

I legit still think Taylor Swift is a new artist from time to time instead of someone celebrating a 20 year long career.
