I was one of the lucky ones who bought bitcoin so I could buy acid on the internet. Years later I put a down payment on a house with the change that I forgot about. DARE was wrong.

I played around with it for a bit in 08/09. Got a few coins, but didn't keep going with it and lost the wallet at some point.

I legit still think Taylor Swift is a new artist from time to time instead of someone celebrating a 20 year long career.

If you were in that early, you'd know.

what if he meant 2009/2010? that's literally 1 year off.
