Around the time Bitcoin was brand new, I turned down a simple job that would have cost me a week of work, because the guy only wanted to pay me in 300 Bitcoin.

I didn't even have a different job in the pipeline, just didn't want to work for money that's worth nothing...

I'm sure that doesn't keep you up at night.

Meh, it was so early, I'm sure I would have spent them long before they would have been worth fifteen million euros. 😭

Hey, at least you didn't spend your coins on LSD

No regrets

There was a promo in Germany around the same time where it was possible to pay with Bitcoin for a pizza delivery service. Back then, I was curious and bought around 150 Bitcoins, spent around half of it on a single pizza and later deleted the wallet. The pizza was delicious and I found it funny to test paying with just some cryptographic keys. And no, I seriously don't have hard feelings towards that.
