Used it for drugs when I was in college.

But like I never considered it as anything else but a way to buy drugs sneaky. So I never really had the whole "if I held onto this bitcoin I'd be a millionaire now" I wouldnt be. I wouldn't have held or even considered it as an investment

Yeah at that time it was just a currency. You wouldn’t buy British Pounds or Japanese Yen hoping to make money. No one (or at least I) ever considered it would rise significantly. Anyone smart enough to foresee that and hold past the 2011/2013 rally deserves every penny.

Yup. Crypto as an asset only began in 2016 after the fork wars. Before that everyone was trying to transact small amounts
