I had to step back into my career but I was a toxic pick becuase I had such a massive gap in work history (long stupid story) so I worked retail. This was when I was living in SF...so, you know, rich motherfuckers everywhere.

The store was beneath luxury condos. There was a rich tech asshole who would try to bro down with us during breaks.

Not once, but like, SEV-ER-AL times he would just scream "YA'LL BUY SOME BITCOIN AND THANK ME IN 5 YEARS"

us: what the fuck is he talking about?

also us: yo, why would anybody need digital money? scam. can't truss it.



bitcoin was somewhere between a dollar or 15 or 100 depending.


I'm not salty about it, I just wished I was more informed. Ya figure, living in SF, I had seen soooooo so many start ups come and go, there was no way to know if this was a bet or some hype machine bullshit.
