Yep. And I've had a Bitcoin wallet since late 2014 or early 2015.

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Dec 5 '17, 15:59

Had a former client finally pay off the remainder of a bill from years before that. She asked if she could pay in Bitcoin, and I thought "Why not?"

So I got a Bitcoin wallet, got paid, and haven't really touched it since. I think I have just over half a Bitcoin in there. But I still don't know enough about Bitcoin to have any sort of valuable opinion on it.

But, if someone offered me $10,000 at that same time under the conditions stated int he poll, I probably would've taken it in Bitcoin or gold. If I was allowed to distribute it among various options, I'd probably have put half into T-bills and split the rest among Vanguard ETF shares, gold, and Bitcoin. Or Dogecoin come to think of it.

Whenever I end up with "found money," I tend to just squirrel it away somewhere and watch it.

I really need to get some stuff done this upcoming year, like making a will. Do you take chicken wings as a form of payment? -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 16:04 4
- My parents keep telling me to get a will. I keep telling them to pay for it for Christmas. They aren't amused, I don't think. -- nm - ty97 Dec 5, 16:17 1
  - I'll keep you informed if I can work out a deal using chicken wings. -- nm - crash davis Dec 5, 16:20
- What type of chicken wings? - ReluctantCynic Dec 5, 16:09 1
