 Did you receive a $1,200 stimulus check back in April 2020?

You could have bought 0.13909818 #Bitcoin with that check back then.

Today 0.13909818 Bitcoin is worth $9,737.

The $1,200 from back then has the value of $950 today.

Maybe you should get off zero and buy Bitcoin.

 Every single stimi check received went to Bitcoin 🚀

 Mine did not, but only because I hadn't even heard of Bitcoin at that time. I certainly wish I had.

Not sure how I managed to live under a rock for so long. 
 Stay humble and stack zaps 
 I will neither confirm or deny this is what my wife and I did with our stimulus.

(Of course we did!)

 Fantastic! This is evidence of what is happening in the United States 🇺🇸 right now! 
 Outspoken 🙊
unvaccinated single mother with unvaccinated son …

Gov stiffed me on $1200 stimulus and still owes me $9k tax return from 20’21’22’ …. (Bureaucratic error (?) so they say) 

I bought bitcoin anyway 

🤙

✨🧡✨ 
 Brilliantl!

 i feel robbed. i spent the stimulus checks on fucking college tuition 😭 
 Such a good post. Talk about putting it into perspective. 
 This is great, thanks for putting it into perspective. What was the math used to get to that debased number? 
 I used an inflation calculator to find the inflation rate from 2020.

It said that if you bought something in 2020 for $1,200 it would cost $1,453.79 in 2024, which is a 21.1% increase.

So if you multiply $1,200 by 78.9%  you get $946.80.
Then I just rounded to $950.

There are many inflation calculators out there. Some give slightly different numbers.

Here's the one I used.

 I remember getting two stimmies, $1400 and $1200 and they were immediately converted to bitcoin... Was a no brainer

 Mine got sent to the wrong address and returned to the IRS instead of given to me 😔 but I’m still stackin 💪 
 No I refused to accept them… 
 In the UK, the government paid for us to eat at restaurants 😂
