A guy I used to work with at a customer was a huge advocate for bitcoin about 8 years ago. I seen him working at a gas station a few weeks ago. I guess he sold it all before it took off :oops:
I remember when the first paper came out and there was information on how to mine it yourself, and I went through the trouble of figuring out how to mine it, but then never actually did any of the mining b/c I didn't really understand why anyone would ever use it. :rolleyes:
I have a friend who claims that he did mine about 50 bitcoins but lost the wallet for it.
