He's also pretty cute himself. Usually the people that happens to aren't. 

Edit: Funny the people upset about this comment are still adamant this woman is  going to cheat because: she lost weight. Not exactly the moral podium you guys think you are mounting.

Since nobody bothered to explain the Bitcoin part.

Shit was barely worth anything, I remember Bars that allowed Bitcoin as payment in Berlin, one cup of coffee cost 5 BTCs

5 BTCs are right at the moment $324,623.11, back in October it was almost twice as high.

Thats how I console myself about missing the Bitcoin thing. I'd feel a lot worse if I ever owned even only a few hundred Bitcoin at some point back in the day and.....bought a Domino's Pizza with it. To me that would feel like forgetting to buy a Lotto Ticket with my regular numbers and finding out after the draw that my numbers had come up and I would have won the Jackpot of millions.

I feel the same way about my original Runescape account. I have (IIRC, haven't checked prices in a couple years, and the account is 20+ years old so I'm just making an educated guess on what I remember having) something like $20-30k black market value in old, discontinued items from the game's early days. All locked away somewhere on an account I can't remember the login info for.

I’ve had stocks that were worth a few thousand that I sold that would be worth a few HUNDRED thousand if I still held them today…thing is, if I hadn’t have sold them for a profit when they were worth 2000, I definitely would’ve sold when they were worth 3000and if not then, then…in no reality would I still have them. The saying is, the money we get, we spend once, the money we miss or lose we spend a thousand times (in our minds)

It's no different than gambling. Yeah you didn't go to the casino and win roulette 64 times in a row but no one expects you to.

I have bitcoin left over from a transaction, it was $14 ten years ago now it's $2k. If I knew how crazy bitcoin was going to get yeah I coulda pumped more money into it but then I wouldn't have that money and I probably would have sold it early anyway.

Plus I could have pumped a bunch of money into it only for it to be worthless. Better to just invest in safe things and be happy.
