An $89,000.00 silver dime.

Bitcoin will always find a way to humble you.

GM! Story time.

The first time I heard someone in real life talk to me about Bitcoin, I had taken a trip across the country to the final rally of Ron Paul's 2012 campaign in Florida.

Ron Paul had always talked about how we needed to go back to the gold standard and audit the Federal Reserve. Gold and Silver were the only real money according to the constitution.

At the rally there were merchants at a swap meet like area of the building, and I found one who was selling silver coins.

I asked how much for a silver dime and he told me $10. He then said he could instead sell me something new called a Bitcoin (it was one of those commemorative tokens with an actual Bitcoin wallet on the back containing an actual Bitcoin), and it would be the same price.

I thought about it but felt that buying some kind of World of Warcraft token was dumb when I could have silver instead, so I took the dime. Bitcoin surpassing Silver in total market cap was poetic for me in a way.

I still have that dime to this day.

These days I have a different understanding of the value of these "World of Warcraft coins" and I see that with them we will accomplish what Ron Paul tried to do: Return us all to a hard money standard, and with it build a world of prosperity and abundance for everyone.

Stay Humble, Stack Sats, we are winning.
Just relax, and be patient.
