Bought Chainlink back in the day because it had the word "chain" in it which at the time I thought referred to Blockchain. Seeing how I saw a documentary about Bitcoin some years earlier this word Blockchain stuck with me. Thus, like a retard, I thought I was buying the buildingblocks for Bitcoin on the cheap. If anyone is wondering; naturally I didn't sell the top in May and am still holding to this day.

Yes I once unknowingly robbed a tourist and went home with 200 euros.
I was 17 and with my mate walking home after some paintball fun and this tourist dude approached me and asked me about the location of some restaurant and I just acted like I normally act and approached him and got in his face and told him where it was, he didnt respond or say anything just gave me the 200 euros and ran. I went home and my mom saw on my cities facebook page that they had put a alert for two young men for mugging a tourist and they had descriptions of our clothes, I didnt go out for a week afterwards and nobody ever troubled me.
