Author, journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher shares the story of her first bitcoin wallet and how bitcoin was more international in the early days as entrepreneurs were trying to solve a currency problem across the globe.
I heard that you had a Bitcoin wallet. It wasn't a wallet. Then you had to put it on a hard drive. And again, it's so long ago when it, when it made me do this. So I could see it and it was on a hard drive, on a, on a thumb drive. It is somewhere in the world unless it's gotten destroyed for some reason, $50 sticks in my head. I bought 10 of them. Um, and it was definitely $50 at the time. I just did it for a story and, uh, just to see how it worked and then I proceeded to lose it.
I mean, you know, it's sort of like me turning down jobs at Amazon Google, Facebook. I turned down jobs at every AOL, at every company right before they got big. So that's just me. I just love losing money. Do you ever? I was aware it was going to be big. I I, same thing with Bitcoin. I thought it was really interesting.
