The things we didn't know at the time...
Four years ago a friend sent me .1 Bitcoin for a food drive that was also taking cash donations. I was actually aggrivated I had to set up a wallet and wait for it to be transferred to my bank account as cash. There was a tiny amount left over after the transfer that was less than a rounding error. That fragment is worth about $5 right now.
I went back to check on it last week after a helper at work was talking about Bitcoin and said he had one. He showed me his wallet on his phone and I was floored that one was trading at over eight thousand. I have since become REALLY interested in what's going on with crypto currencies and have bought in with Litecoin for now and are looking at others. I plan on keeping that .0005 Bitcoin as a reminder to not be quite so short sighted.
I have been watching the exchanges run up and down for over a week and it certainly seems like a volatile market right now but it's sure fun to watch.
