We’re feeling nostalgic. Tell us the story of when you first bought bitcoin.

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.

Nice try IRS 😉
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.
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.
