I got together with the wrong person. That woman cost me $15k in 3 months, burned through all of my savings for her amusement and made me take a $6k loan for furniture and a flat. Lemmings, what’s your sad story?

    I was mining bitcoin in the very early days (when bitcoins were worth pennies). No idea how much it was and is worth now, but I am pretty sure I’d never have to work again if I still had access to these bitcoins.

      I remember sites where you could play games and bitcoin was basically used as a score/prize - if I’d spent half my lunch hours playing I’d be set for life nowadays.

        It’s best not to lose your mind over it, like the guy who has been searching for his lost disk in a dump for 10+ years. Here have a funny gif to cheer you up:

      On May 22, 2010, now known as “Bitcoin Pizza Day,” Laszlo Hanyecz, the Florida man, agreed to pay 10,000 bitcoins for the delivery of two Papa John’s pizzas.

      […]

      Nine months after the purchase, Bitcoin reached parity with the U.S. dollar, making the two pizzas worth $10,000. In 2015, the fifth anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, the two pizzas were valued at $2.4 million. On May 22, 2024, Bitcoin was at just over $69,181 making the pizzas worth…you get the point.

      Omg. I hate you for making me check BTC

      I once owned 0.35 BTC, sold it for about $800

      Now it’s worth about $35k
