If one of us ever figures out a way to dig up a bitcoin we'll have to try and cash it in for plat and see what happens.![]()
I found $800 in clad in 2010 when Bitcoin was .08c ea!....I was watching Bitcoin on several Financial sites and was aware of all the Pro/Con discussions...I just didnt get any and didnt understand it.....So I wisely invested the dirt money on metal detecting gear as MY plan to get rich quick!...
Bitcoin kept going up, up, UP! Gold stayed the same, and then the easy clad ran out...So I switched to Gold hunting...and here I am, with detecting gear and empty pockets!...I do have a fairly substantial collection of Beanie Babies and some certified Collector plates from the Franklin mint as a nest egg investment.
I wonder how rich I would be today if I had bought Bitcoins back in 2010 with that $800 dirty clad? I'm not good at math..obviously....
I've been aware of Bitcoin for a few years now. I have heard in the beginning, you could actually get paid in Bitcoin with a few companies...can't see how that would work now with the exchange so high? I can't afford it now that's for sure. Think it started around 2008 or so...? Not sure.

First transaction with bitcoin was used to buy a pizza, if I remember correctly. Those buttcoin would be over $30,000,000 now.
30 MILLION Dollars!~ Oh Man! Thats Johnny Depp Island buying money there!
Well, at least I still got the Beanie Babies....and those Plates! I suppose a guy could make a comfortable and plush nest under the overpass with the Beanie babies and a tarp, scatter around the plates to collect rainwater..maybe go hunt up a bit of totlot clad for incidental frivolous expenditures....![]()
Plus, I bet a guy could get a decent Mountain Bike at a Garage sale with the empty can redemption proceeds...or just pick up an abandoned/unsecured one for free at the local schoolyard...Maybe one with baskets even! To ride South in October and hunt the Sunny Florida Gold heavy beaches? A guy has to plan ahead and be smart!...Winter is Coming....![]()
My mind boggles when I think about it. 1/4lb of platinum. Think how much energy, effort, research, etc.

At the height of the tulip mania, a tulip, known as "the Viceroy" (viseroij), displayed in the 1637 Dutch catalog Verzameling van een Meenigte Tulipaanen. Its bulb cost between 3,000 and 4,200 guilders (florins) depending on size. Then it crashed.

Fancy a gamble? Similar to Bitcoin? Grab yourself a 100 bucks worth of XRP/Ripple
