We’re feeling nostalgic. Tell us the story of when you first bought bitcoin.
Discussion
It was sometime in 2013 and the price was around $11/btc. I just heard about it on some libertarian/anarchist page and was immediately sold on the idea so I decided to buy 10. I think MtGox was the only real exchange, but I didn't want to give up any KYC, so I had to wire some money to some random person on the internet and wait 2 hours to see if it actually showed up.
Mined with graphics cards around $3. Sold at $30 🤦♂️
In 2021 after consuming the entire “The Saylor Series” on Breedlove’s pod.
What is a bitcoin?
Lou, did you try nostree.me instead of linktr.ee? It's cool. A Nostr app.
Yeah, for some reason damus keeps changing my bio I don’t have a Linktree account anymore only https://nostree.me/lou@zap.stream
The 1st time I bought bitcoin was on cashapp actually.
Looking back, I should have saved them sats..
Was almost a decade ago, but then there was this incident with a boat 😔
Nice try IRS 😉
Like five years ago from cashapp for a 4chan pass.
I'm a boat.
I first bought Bitcoin on PayPal perhaps 5 years ago, about a dollars worth at the time. My first substantial "purchase" of Bitcoin was when I started crypto mining in early 2022, getting paid out in Bitcoin. Then down the rabbit hole I went.
Did you say you mind yourself?
I don’t remember exactly, but it was atleast 10 years ago, spent my #Bitcoin on vpn service from Cryptostorm.is
First couple if Sats were rewards through CashApp boosts funny enough. Then I went down the rabbithole of podcasts and YouTube. It was a video on Trends.co that completely shifted my perspective.
