The Rules

I was once paid in bitcoin. It was like 1 bitcoin worth about $20. There was nothing to spend it on. I lost track of it. Now that coin would be worth about $100,000. Crazy.

I used to have a little BTC back when faucets were still a thing. Managed to make a decent trade later on but nothing groundbreaking.

I paid a bitcoin for a pizza once

Just one for a whole pizza?
That's pretty much a bargain in bitcoin history

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a story like that I'd have a bitcoin

I have four whole bitcoins from when you could sign up for sites that just gave them out. That wallet has been missing for the better part of a decade. 🫠
