I didn't hear about it until the silk road days, which meant going to Walmart to go to Western Union to wire money to an address to buy btc on Mt Gox. Then in 2013 in college I had a professor that ended up getting a job at the Fed saying that Bitcoin was a scam because you couldn't short it.

I first heard about Bitcoin in a highschool web dev class, and I remember thinking to myself I should buy some because it sounded like a cool idea. I'm still haunted by this

I almost started mining it in 2008/2009, it would have been my whole life

>> No.56467193

>>56467031
I did. I even mined it on my parents crappy home PC. Got bored and sold it all when it hit like 50 USD and never looked back. My gains paid for college and gave me enough to start up my own business buy a house. If I hadn't cashed out I probably would've lost it all trading like a degenerate. I started buying it again after the 2018 crash. But I mainly just put money into boomer stocks and ETF's

>> No.56467195

i honestly wouldn't have been able to hold it. i had so many student loan bills. i would have sold as soon as it turned into RL money at like 1 cent lmao

In 2010 I turned 16 and I am p sure I was the only person in school and my family who knew of its existence on silkroad and because I didn't know much about how it worked I didn't know how to pursue it. If bitcoin was released in the past few years I would have bought and held it 100%.
