  I had two giant servers sitting under my desk when bitcoin started up. I was trying to decide whether to put them to work mining bitcoin or using them for seti at home. Well I decided to go with seti. And I am actually complacent with that decision, because had I got into bitcoin I know that I would have some sort of anxiety over when I sold, or what I paid for something like a pizza. I know those people who are searching trash dumps for their old hard drives are just in a weird hell that I am glad I never put myself in that situation.

    You know… years later I did the crypto say trading bull shit.

    I made like $5k but the “cost” was horrible. I didn’t sleep well… always tracking things on my phone or computer. Afraid the bottom would fall out and I’d lose my small fun money. It was absolutely an awful experience.
