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 mined a few back in the day. I think I got a couple pizzas and a new router out of it. Could've bought a decent house at the peak value. Oh well.

Hey, the 80s were 20 years ago.

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