desu I should get the fucking rope... not over the 20 -25btc I could have had, but because there were STACKS and PILES of these cards on that table, there were cards on the floor that people left and the wetback convention center maids vacuumed up... It makes me sick to think about honestly.
Probably over a billion dollars worth of cards in that room...
Someone tries to teach you and offers to take you out to events and give you free things and you act like a fucking douchebag. I'd be more focused on that and less focused on missing those coins.

I have no clue, I remember seeing an short video on facebook a like 2 years ago where a guy talked about a similar thing, might have even been the same event desu, but other than that I've never seen anything about the cards.

my first BTC buy was to deposit on online poker, over the course of that summer I bought like 4 BTC by using a prepaid cards and paying like $800 per coin from people on an exchange. (I think they were like $600 at the time)

i still think it's a discord tranny pump and dump scheme but it hurts to know i could have made a fuck ton of money on a discord tranny pump and dump scheme.
Parker Smith
I mean if you really think it's a pnd scheme then it's the most well thought out, longest steadiest pump of all time, also at this point discord trannies are hiring their own Sandeeps to make a shitcoin to shill

Dude, you spends 7800$ on LSD. How are you still standing.

In 2008, when I was 18 I started hearing about bitcoin as well as seeing it on the news. I was too busy being a teenager just out of school to bother learning about it or buying any. It just seemed too complicated. ears later, in 2015 I decided to check out biz
Mason Murphy
and saw ethereum being shilled when it was worth fuck all. Once again, I didn't understand it and couldn't be bothered trying to. later in 2018, after a bad break up and lots of anger at my pathetic situation, I saw how much it was worth. I discovered chainlink not long after that and for all of 2018 while I was working like crazy, I threw everything I could into chainlink and have had iron hands ever since.

>be poorfag >had a chance to mine bitcoin in 2013 >couldnt quite figure it out, maybe computer just a little too old >slip into the wrong crowd, lose my autistic nerdy roots and try to "fit in" >forget about it, smoke weed for the next 7 years and slack off, graduate etc >find bitcoin again in 2019 >wtf.jpg At least I'm not suicidal anymore. Life is much better, even though I'm not filthy fucking rich. I probably would have sold them all at $100 anyway.

This shit hasn't even started until we are above a $1T cap. Always new bubbles. For instance, ARPA will be the next bubble (or one of) talked about by Vitalik already (MPC) - buy some, stake on binance, and wait a year or two.

The thing is, if all those bitcoins were to be in the market then the value wouldn't be so high. The fact that you and many others didn't take those meant that the few that did had a rare commodity that would go up in price cause of scarcity.
Chase Gray
Back when bitcoin was below 500$ I was chilling with my cousin one day and he was explaining crypto and crypto mining to me because he said I could do it too because my brother had a quite good pc. Or maybe we could make a rig or something. But back then I was like 14-15 and a retarded teen that didn’t really understand its value and told him that it just sounds like a gimmick. I had some birthday money and other savings back then and he told me to invest them in but I didn’t. He didn’t put many money in too (about 100 bucks or so) and he didn’t have the hardware to mine then. I mean he wasn’t an expert and he was 17 too. All he knew was from some articles he read. But he cashed out way over 2k after some years. It’s not much and I don’t know how much many I would have actually put in and how I would have handle it and when I would have sold but the fact that I didn’t listen to him still haunts me sometimes
