    It’s funny. I actually bought Bitcoin back in 2013 to purchase some “questionably legal” NFL streaming service. It was like $30 back then. Something like that. I just bought like $500 worth. I figured why not and I just graduated and was making money finally.

    In 2015-2016 I sold it and paid off student loans. I had forgotten about it until then. Total fucking luck.

    I never ever look back and think “if only I held it!”. But, I guess even people that never profited from it are still in the sunk cost fallacy of finding out too late.

    It wasn’t smart of me to buy Bitcoin in 2013. It was just luck. But for some reason these crypto bros act like anyone that made money from it “earned it”. Like they predicted the future or something. They want to be that. It’s so fucking wild to me.
