If I knew then what I know now, I’d have a lot more bitcoin. But since I love my job, I have a lot more bitcoin than if I stopped working when I “could.”

But I assure you my children will know what I wish I knew back then.

I’m grateful for bitcoin, but it was laptop mining in 2010 that made me the most when I knew the least. I naively hoped I’d help some poor kid avoid getting their few hundred bucks stolen by helping this bitcoin thing take off.
