Mike Maloney -> Austrian School -> PM -> Lurk 4chan -> Bitcoin is da fuchar! -> Lemme mine BTC -> Not profitable -> Buy on Cohenbase -> Wish there was a private BTC -> Realizing I had blocked XMR general on /biz/ -> What is this? UwU -> Monerochad infopoast about atomic swap -> Holy Shit -> Sell LINK to buy XMR -> Sell ETH to buy XMR -> Swap 50 Euroinos to buy XMR -> Holy Shitterinos on Dread forum -> Dump 1 month salary into XMR -> ....

Yea, that was me.
