      Funnily enough, the only people i know that made any actual insane gains from crypto were early adopters using it to buy cheap drugs from the dark web. Shit is a scam, just like fiat currency

        One of my biggest regrets was not buying drugs on the dark web when I was willing and able. Would have had at least a handful of spare Bitcoin.

          No kidding. Back in college I was kicking around the idea with my friends of dumping a few student loans for semester into bitcoin to buy quality mdma. It was like $0.50 a coin at the time.

          I rest easy knowing that I would have sold it for beer money well before the price went absolutely nuts. I was never going to make real profit off of it

      It was until the authorities learned how easy it is to connect transactions to actual people.
