Middle of college. Perfect opportunity to turn it all around...

I’d end up just doing what I did back then in college. Just sit around getting stoned and playing video games lol.

Yeah but you'd also buy a bunch of Bitcoin for like 3 cents and be set for life.

I wouldn't be able to buy bitcoin since I was 9 then.

Maybe if I could convince my parents to buy some...

Mom, Dad, really; it'll be the cheapest birthday gift by far. For my 10th birthday, just 10 dollars of Bitcoin.

Reminds me of this story about this kid who asked his parents to buy him bitcoins for his birthday present and ended up getting a skateboard... (I forgot the full story, but it was probably somewhere in a random Instagram comment 😂)

Back then you sure could. Localbitcoin.com

All you’d have to do is grab some cash, set up a meeting and then show up to the location with cash, have that shady character off the internet take your money and hope that they sent it to your wallet.

Crypto was a wee bit different back then.
