I had a cowoker who used to mine bitcoins back then. He said that it was a fun hobby but when he was moving to California he didn't think he would be able to make enough money to justify the higher electrical bill.

He was making about $60 a month farming Bitcoin, when it was $0.30 a piece. Had he kept just a month's worth of that, it would be worth $20.5 million dollars.

I used to mine them with cpu / GPU.

I bought a bottle of Jim beam for 25 BTC lol.
