In 2014 I bought $5 in Doge as a joke. After throwing some around on Reddit, I forgot about it for a while.

Then Elon was going to be on SNL and there was hype, so I cashed it all out at like 60 cents and bought a super nice gaming PC on Newegg with it.

Lately I think about how I spent $5 for a $2500 PC with Doge currently "valued" at around $200. Someone was a sucker somewhere.

PS, Crypto is a scam.

All night, Bitcoin has been struggling to stay above the 20k line, and Etherium above the 1k line. Occasional attempts by whales to shore them push them up from the brink, but they keep losing momentum and falling again.

"Experts" are suggesting that crossing those lines will trigger a flood of margin calls and another further crash. Dunno how true that is...

Right now I'm very glad I didn't pay for my crypto [well, a few minutes doing quizzes]. But remember, history rhymes [ we've a climate crisis around the world, economy issues, a pandemic, and a ponzi scheme crash imminent - not in the exact same order, as 90-100 years ago, but..... ]

The Onion: Man Who Lost Everything In Crypto Just Wishes Several Thousand More People Had Warned Him

CHICAGO—Saying he had been absolutely blindsided by the sudden change in his fortunes, local 33-year-old Tyler Branton, a man who lost everything in cryptocurrencies, told reporters Thursday that he just wished several thousand more people had warned him. “If only a thousand—or even a few hundred—more friends had told me about the risks of putting my entire savings into Dickcoin, I might not be where I am today,” said Branton, decrying how no one had alerted him to the inherent instability of digital currencies except for dozens of coworkers, family members, podcast hosts, and respected economists.
