Same. Although with the curse of hindsight, I painfully recall choosing to run SETI@home instead of "mining" some weird digital currency called Bitcoin back in 2010. So, painful.

Exactly the same here. Ran SETI@home on all my machines back in the day. I remember running this weird bitcoin ‘thing’ for an entire week on my main machine which generated around 1.4 btc. Then I DELETED it.
Tell me about it. When Brave started the whole BAT thing 8 years ago, I had a wallet with $25 in it.

Lost access to it but today that wallet would be worth over $10.

And today that wallet would be worth $6. But tomorrow it could be worth $8.
It's optimism like this that keeps me in the market.
