So glad I never traded on MtGox!

That place was so sketchy even long before it collapsed. It’s the main reason I stayed away from bitcoin as long as I did.
He was in anger management classes for a long time
I worked for a jap company that was 1 or 2 floors from MtGOX in Shibuya
Did u see all the protesters outside building when it collapsed?
No, I had no idea what MtGOX was at the time, then a year later I think, it was all over news
There were only 2 types of people in bitcoin back then :
1. Tech nerds
2. Drug dealers
And everyone who read https://survivalblog.com/ back then.
There are so many preppers living in cabins in the middle of nowhere who are digital millionaires now because they got into Bitcoin so early. Most of them stack gold and silver too. And bullets. Lots and lots of bullets. The three currencies of the apocalypse.
Why would anyone need more than 3000 rounds ?
Plus if you have a gun just go over to people who had Biden / Harris signs and take their food in an apocalypse scenario
Yeah Coinbase was the only one that never sent up red flags in the back of my mind. But then, a few years ago they started listing shitcoins like crazy. They kinda lost their way. I wouldn't trust them anymore. I don't do custody exchanges anymore. I only buy from services that send the Bitcoin directly to a wallet that I control.
