    Ha! I mined bitcoin before I figured out it was a scam. That was in the early days, though, so mining bitcoin consisted of leaving my mid-range gaming machine on with the Bitcoin client running 24/7 for a couple of weeks until I lost interest and getting about 1/20th of a bitcoin out of it.

    I still have it to this day. I suppose I could find some poor sucker willing to trade actual money for it. They could add it to whatever bag they’re already holding.

      I considered it, back in the early days. I was impressionable and thought whatever the weirdos on 4chan were talking about was at least interesting (like… 06 to 12 maybe.) One of my friends was mining 100 percent. I think he probably sold his coins long before it spiked, and I suspect that was how he funded his college education
