October 2013. Instead of completing my PhD thesis, I fooled around on the Internet and found a #bitcoin faucet. I guess I had to solve a few captchas or so, and in the end I was rewarded with 0.02 US$ worth of Bitcoin, 15,000 sats after deducting the on-chain transaction fees.

March 2024. I can now buy myself a coffee with that. Using Bitcoin. Life's crazy.
