That time in 2017 when I got half a Bitcoin for free

Recent converts to Bitcoin will probably be amazed to learn that lots of us got free Bitcoin back in 2017.

On Aug 1st 2017, the Bitcoin Cash fork happened, and suddenly, everyone who had Bitcoin had an equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash.

At the time, some were predicting that Bitcoin Cash would eclipse Bitcoin. Its price climbed rapidly. Others, like myself, disagreed.

I sold my entire stash of Bitcoin Cash the following day on Kraken for Bitcoin, for which I got .480 BTC.

That was a good day.
