Way back when Bitcoin was first being talked about on Slashdot, I mined for a while. On my processor. For like a month. I got about 1/20 of a Bitcoin out of it.

And then I lost interest for a long time. And then it became clear blockchain is an infinite self-similar fractal of scams and ponsis.

I haven't done anything with my 1/20 of a Bitcoin. I don't have any expectation it will go up or down. If the bubble takes back off and inflates so much 1/20 of a Bitcoin becomes life-changing money, I might try to sell it. Maybe if a bunch of crypto-owning crypto-skeptics organize a mass sell event to drive it to zero, I'll take part. Otherwise, it'll stay where it is for the forseeable future.

Ironic that someone like me who believes wholeheartedly that blockchain is snake oil is such a model hodler.
