 This guy was mining one #Bitcoin a day with his $800 computer back in 2011 while I was playing Mortal Kombat with my $2k set up. F* my life. https://video.nostr.build/cfa13cfdfd20b8aeb47b4a689a3eab7900d2b43b7d6c0fa59bc9e97e2968ecd1.mp4  
 Did he hodl tho? 😅 
 Wonder what he’s doing now? Did he HODL? 
 I spent 2k on a PC to try to mine bitcoin in 2012. By then it was already too late. 
 Laszlo was mining 100,000 BTC in a few weeks on his Mac while I was commuting to my job making banner ads at a shitty advertising agency in 2010. 
 Yeah. I was programming energy trading systems. God, why didn't I see bitcoin for what it is?!?! 
 My S19 is now obsolete. Imagine if you could travel back in time and start mining with it in 2012. 
 Hero! 
 you can probably afford to buy bitcoin then 
 Tragically suffering from industrial deafness, Elliot retired with 1000s of bitcoins in 2013, and moved to Portugal to invest them all in a care center for the hard of hearing, called 'What?! Eh? for OG bitcoin miners'. 
 Where do you find this old footage of me 🤔 
 Would not regret either  
 Beautiful in its simplicity.
To be fair mainstream media was providing this information to the public way back when. 
 dude, that's the same for any shit coin. 

you can mine to your hearts content, but the one that sticks, sticks. 
 Thought BTC required ASIC modules? GPUs didn't output that much power in 2011, i mean, BattleField 3 just came out 
 Lol Windows XP mined Bitcoin is the real rare sat 
 That guy is probably loaded now
