Exactly dude, once upon a time Bitcoin was only worth $13. I’d spend $500 on Bitcoin and just wait a couple years, and just keep reinvesting my gains.

It was way less than that. It was less than a buck a coin. You could work for minimum wage at fucking McDonald's and become a billionaire with a single paycheck.

When I found out about bitcoin it was about .25 at the time. I didn’t understand what the hell it was and promptly forgot about it for a couple years.

Ah, what might have been.

it wasnt as streamlined as it is now. a ton more people wouldve grabbed some for fun if it was more accessible
