(10/) The following post is part 10 of a super long story about how I came around to crypto. Part 9 can be found here. Part 11. A year or two later into my new ‘career’ as a Web Developer, I was really digging into how things worked. Crypto was something I wanted to at least understand on a more technical level, but it was hard for me to do so without owning any. I eventually found out that an old high school buddy had accumulated a bit through some early mining, so I began buying small amounts digitally directly through him…I’d send him a few bucks via PayPal, he’d hit me off with the market rate for whatever I sent him. Looking back at my transaction history, I bought about a few hundred bucks worth and promptly started testing it all out…spending on this, on that, all largely forgettable transactions. There was definitely a learning curve and it was all terrifying but also kind of exhilarating. Now if someone would just accept this stuff for real-world transactions, I think we’d be golden…
