Chinese WoW gold trading website offered me BTC over USD for gold I was selling them back in 2009


Didnt understand what it was nor did I have any interest in figuring out, so I just took the USD.

btw this is why bitcoin is #1 regarding mcap. there is no other crypto where such a large percentage of the supply is irrecoverably lost.

I wrote a lot of words and got "our system thinks your post is spam" nonsense. Nothing of value was lost but if there's a hell, jannies will boil in the hottest cauldron.

find bitcoin in 2012
buy some for buying drugs
buy some the next year for investment purposes
go broke irl
sell bitcoin to cover expenses
barely any money to buy any the years after due to finishing studies, scramble aside some money for ethereum and bitcoin
trade way back up well above # bitcoins i bought in 2013, but fail to become multi-millionaire level rich

i feel both shitty and satisfied, knowing i would have been rich af if i went working instead of studying
