The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I was once paid in bitcoin. It was like 1 bitcoin worth about $20. There was nothing to spend it on. I lost track of it. Now that coin would be worth about $100,000. Crazy.

I used to have a little BTC back when faucets were still a thing. Managed to make a decent trade later on but nothing groundbreaking.

I paid a bitcoin for a pizza once

Just one for a whole pizza?
That's pretty much a bargain in bitcoin history

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a story like that I'd have a bitcoin

I have four whole bitcoins from when you could sign up for sites that just gave them out. That wallet has been missing for the better part of a decade. 🫠
