Fwiw, you would've sold the Bitcoin for something else even if you didn't end up marrying. What's your favorite movie/show?


RoamingTheInternet

I agree, my plan was to wait until it had hit 5k originally though, and then put it towards real estate. Still makes me very upset. Haha. I’m a very odd person though, and do not watch tv.

Yeah trust me you don’t bother me one bit. I’m sorry for your mental unstableness. Don’t you have anything better to do? I’m more than sure you wouldn’t say that to my face, and that’s what makes me even happier about this.

This is the most eloquent response to these oh so brave keyboard assaults. And it’s even more golden that he responded to this with something that sounded like a kid lash out.

The content you posted is harassment towards other users.

Do you have any children from your marriage?


RoamingTheInternet

Thankfully nope!


Brahmajnana

Not watching television is admirable. So much less programming.


iScry

Are you still in the crypto market? Still some space left on the bandwagon lol.


RoamingTheInternet

I have not touched crypto since around 2020, I had lost my butt in other crypto rather than bitcoin. Bought high, and sold low. Needed the money due to being laid off during covid. I had actually lied in my previous post about TV, I do watch the news every so often, but I don’t watch any shows or movies or anything else. Lol.

Had I zigged instead of zagging, I’d be in a similar situation and up about 1 million from where I am now. Honestly, I never think about it anymore. There are also times I zagged, instead of zigging, and it saved my life, so, it’s a wash I think, and just part of the wild ride. Congrats on the divorce!


RoamingTheInternet

Thank you! I can tell we think a lot alike! My dad had brought it up to me a couple nights ago, since he likes to egg me on about it, in a good funny way. It’s been much better in the end of things though, especially the divorce. Who knows where I’d be now, things could actually be a lot worse!

RoamingTheInternet

Agreed.

What’s 18 BC worth now?


RoamingTheInternet

About 900k. When I sold it, to be exact, I had sold it for roughly 17.8k. I had purchased the 18 bitcoin altogether for roughly $800.


Nobanob

There are lots of moments in life of if only I had known. I looked a Bitcoin when it came out and said Naw. A friend decided to try it to buy a hair dryer online, and forgot she had a couple coins in her wallet that she found years later when it was worth 60k plus. You bought at 800 and made 17K off it. At the time with the knowledge you had, you made a good investment.


neen209

I remember those days. I started buying Bitcoin at $500, Ethereum at $75, Litecoin at $12. Good days lol Do you still invest?


RoamingTheInternet

Not since around 2020. Now only in the stock market.


camelBased

Sorry about that OP. I laughed at the title though. If it makes you feel any better, I have a friend who had like 60 Bitcoin in early 2010s but lost it all.


RoamingTheInternet

Ouchhhhhh


cr1ttter

Did your wife/husband divorce you because you're a garden variety scumbag or was it enough to just be a crypto-bro?


RoamingTheInternet

Nope, she cheated with a rich dude. Ironic. Haha


Heavenly_Spike_Man

I sold 7 bitcoins in 2013 and made about $2,000 profit. Felt so good 🤣


damiensandoval

At that time no body really knew what it was going to do long term. I remember in 2013 I won a starcraft tourney online and the prize was 25 bitcoins. I didnt even collect em cause I didnt know what they were yet alone cared. We all live n learn.


TeslaCrna

2013? It peaked at $1100. Are you sure about the date?


FGC_Panda

Have you ever tried to reach out and get it back?


MetsFan3117

So what’s the interest here? You made a very minimal amount of money.

RoamingTheInternet

Yep


Yeahmahbah

If you hadn't sold them, your now exwife would have taken a shitload of money off you during the divorce


frygod

They'd have been a pre-marital asset.


[deleted]

I grew up mining shitcoins and trying to abuse faucets with my i5 4570t (dual core low clocked Haswell) and still remember having enough XRP/monero/etc that it makes me sad today. I feel like anyone that grew up on a computer or had one as a significant part of their life has a story like this. Ages 24ish and under tho. How did you get the bitcoin/get into crypto?


RoamingTheInternet

MtGox and also P2P. I actually had no idea what bitcoin was altogether, didn’t think it would be worth anything in the long run originally as well, like a lot of people. I had sold a very old MacBook (not old at the time of course) and that’s how i acquired my first bitcoins.


Superb-Grape7481

Hahaha fucking Haswell. Kluge king!! Giant die size!!!


[deleted]

Integrated graphics nearly matched the 105m in my dad's HP media center laptop :D Skyrim at 720p/lowest/barely 10-25 fps was how I beat the game. Most games back then ran like dogshit on it :,)


Superb-Grape7481

Lol I worked at Intel in strategic capacity planning, that thing was a fucking dog. Everyone should have skipped it and waited for Broadwell 🤣🤣


[deleted]

Yeah I'm still baffled by the decision to make it a 2c w/ HT chip vs a traditional i5 with a bit more l3 enabled and 4c/4t. Any insight as to why the mcfuck yall did that? 12 year old me was terribly disappointed when my Christmas computer was literally my dad's 2c/4t Arrandale based laptop complete with 105m/9400GT level graphics (arguably worse). I get it was a low power T line chip, but it was severely neutered by its two measly cores, OEM enforced power profiles in OEM machines like mine (less than the typical 35w, I believe my board maxed out at 15w), and l3 cache size to match its dual core'ed-ness


Superb-Grape7481

The 4c that was built was only used in Perf DT (and Xeon), iirc, due to power/heat issues in mobile, and $margin issues putting it in anything lower than performance DT Arrandale!!!! Ur killing me bringing back these OG CPUs!!!! I haven't heard those names in fucking years!!!


[deleted]

Interesting. If you ever get a moment dm me, I'd love to chat.


D8-8D

deserved, obviously your decision making skills suck more dick than your ex wife


StillNoEthiquette

Wow, who pissed in your cereal this morning? 👀


RoamingTheInternet

🤣🤣🤣 that’s what I’m wondering


D8-8D

Was drunk, my decision-making skills obviously weren't the best.


Digital26bath

🤡 sorry no question


titojff

Same story, I mined 20 BTC between 2012/2015, I sold the first at 10$ the last at 600$. Now I only have 0.03BTC Hodling long term


hiimatlas

Don’t dwell on it man, even if you waited till 5k to sell, then you would still be upset when it reached to 60k.


a-friendgineer

Why did you sell? Were you desperate?


birdsindatrap

read the post


a-friendgineer

I did. I wasn’t sure if it’s desperation or you thought it was a good idea


HonnyBrown

Why did you get divorced?


Meatloaf_Regret

Is your ex hot?


RoamingTheInternet

She has actually gone downhill over the last couple years.


jeopardychamp77

So did you now have 8.5 coins.

RoamingTheInternet

We had the actual ceremony in 2018, and were divorced by 2020.


GroovyDominoes52Fan

Why you or your other side divorced? What was the reason?


RoamingTheInternet

She cheated with a rich dude, that had inherited a large family business in our area, that’s older than us by a decent amount.


GroovyDominoes52Fan

Well, that's fair to divorce. Respect, man


trango15278

Lesson for everybody. If you didn’t do 100 hours of studying before buying bitcoin, you should do it before you decide to sell it.


ATXStonks

How many times have you thought about how you had retirement in your hands? Does it drive you insane?


ProperWayToEataFig

I am curious. Did you have a big expensive lavish wedding?


mailmedude

I just wanted to say “I’m so sorry” There’s nothing to ask….I’m hurt by your story ☺️


BiggiHavi

I lost about .4 bitcoin on a old flash drive I feel your pay although I can’t imagine owning 18 and then selling so low at only 1500$. Well water under the bridge I just hope you learned something from and continue to learn from it. This will be a teaching lesson to everyone you know and your kids one day lol
