Yup 100%. Worst case, I could have still turned it around and immediately sold it for 25k. If I was more patient, likely 35k. To me, ignoring the opportunity cost of the cash itsel…

Have considered it. Problem is our audience trends older, and they may be confused by what bitcoin is (and checkouts are all about ease of use).
