Bitcoin. I mined some (might’ve even been on my CPU at the time) back when it was easy to mine it. Not a ton, but enough that now I have to explain that despite thinking blockchain is just straight up a scam, I do have some Bitcoin in a wallet on my hard drive somewhere. (That I’ve never done anything with.)
Can you get to that wallet? A Bitcoin is worth $60k now.
Yup. I can. I have around 1/20 of a Bitcoin, so the amount I have should be worth about $3,000 USD (unless the price has crashed since I started writing this post. 😈)
Cashing it in would make me feel dirty. It’s basically just handing the bag to the next bagholder. (Though, I’m not really a baholder per se. I’m not really invested to speak of. The only investment I made to get this Bitcoin is to leave my computer on for like a month or less.) Feeding the ponzi monster, as it were.
But then again, it’s $3,000.
As much as I hate myself for admitting it, the possibility that the price will climb a little higher is probably part of why I didn’t trade it for real money back in late 2021 when the price of a Bitcoin was so high.
But, yeah, you’re probably right I should just sell it. Maybe I’ll just make whoever I sell it to promise they’re not giving me next month’s rent or their kids’ college fund. Lol.
Edit: Ok. You’ve inspired me to make a post asking other crypto-skeptics what I should do with it.
You could donate it to some financial literacy nonprofit if you want to be rid of it without feeling dirty.
I have to admit, I did buy a nice fidget spinner. ;)

I used to wear a short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve shirt
People still do this and it was never a trend. It’s classical style.
gasps Stupid trend?!?
Is this not cool anymore??
Pump-up sneakers
back in 2016(?) I was one of the people who had a yeti cup
I still use mine. The things are built to last.
Wearing super preppy clothes to school/college. I was mistaken for a teacher in 11th grade. In college, I once wore a pencil skirt, black tights, white sweater, and high heels… to a regular Tuesday afternoon class, just because I wanted to.
I love this and wish people would still get more dressed up to do random stuff.
That college outfit doesn’t sound weird to me at all, but I went to college in Portland, so maybe I’m used to weird.
You looked nice and took pride in yourself. You should remember this time fondly.
Remember those silly rubber “Armstrong” wristbands? I had a million different ones and wore about 20 on each wrist to school and everywhere else. Yeah, I was pretty goddamn cool. 😎
