Throwback to 2012 when Coinbase gave you 0.1 BTC (Worth $1.2) just for referring people
 |
Did you know that back in around 2012 Coinbase used to give you 0.1 BTC, for free, for every single person you referred to the site? I was looking through one of my old email addresses and I saw these emails stashed away inside a "Coinbase" folder: Sadly I spent all of this BTC back when they were still only worth a few dollars. But today it would have been worth around $26,000, just for referring 10 people! Did anyone else do this? How many people did you refer? Did you spend it all like I did or hodl for over 10 years? EDIT: Just in case anyone wanted to see what the emails looked like: They literally used to tell you the full email addresses of the people you referred, you can tell data privacy wasn't really a thing back then! submitted by /u/AidanGee |
