spent .3 btc for hosting a long time ago, which turned out to cost more than a car

or enough hosting to last 100 years ...

It's just getting started.

I went from $200 worth to $650 worth of Bitcoin lately, with Bitcoin's value increasing.

So, put up $500 to burn and see how it does. Hold on!

A friend of mine was super into Bitcoin in 2014 and tried to get me involved. I was very risk-averse and didn't invest or mine anything.

Now he is financially independent (read: filthy rich) and I'm trying to turn my 0.0000000155 bitcoin into something of value.

If I could turn back time? When my wife and I first found out about bitcoin, a single full BTC was about $20 (Australian) when the official GUI came out for it. That was 2013 or 2014. I don't remember exactly.

Thankfully around that time we did manage to get 0.001BTC from some really generous person who was giving everyone a taste of what crypto is all about, from a website called the Bitcoin Faucet.

That tiny bitcoin went from 35c back then to $66 today.

I got a little from the Bitcoin Faucet too. The wallet is long since lost...let alone the password.

Awesome, (well, not about forgetting the password :/ I've been there, done that) Sounds like you had the .001 btc too.

Now days it's a Satoshi or something like .0000000001 btc.
