The very fact that it's "fake money for criminals" is exactly why I didn't pick up any BitCoin when it was 12p per coin.. I could have been rich af off of £10

I too, ran across Bitcoin in the VERY early days, when it was pennies. I thought it was a scam and probably illegal, I mean "people can't just set up their own currency, can they?" It didn't help that I first found it when I was poking around in Tor, wondering what the "dark web" was all about.

@DarrinBrunner
I found it at $50 and knew it was for sketchy things but still tried (unsuccessfully) to convince my parents to let me give them my cash to use their debt card to buy some.

I could have paid off their house 😆
