10 years ago would have been 2014; at that point 25 Bitcoin would be a good chunk of cash:

The price of bitcoin opened the year at $770, according to the CoinDesk Price Index. By mid-December, it was trading in the mid-$300 range. This represents a drop of more than 50% from the start of the year.

It'd be interesting to know when this was actually from; it's a great screenshot even without the exact details, though.

Blasphemy.

10 years ago will forever be 1995.

I will die on this hill.

Agreed.

Completely unrelated: pretty crazy that a starcraft tournament was held 3 years before it released, and the prize was something that wasn't available until 14 years after the tourny.

Is it because the hill is steep and your ankles aren't what they used to be?

Get off my lawn.

You'll die from old age on that hill, kiddo.
