When my wife and I first found out about bitcoin, a single full BTC was about $20 (Australian) when the official GUI came out for it. That was 2013 or 2014. I don't remember exactly. Thankfully around that time we did manage to get 0.001BTC from some really generous person who was giving everyone a taste of what crypto is all about, from a website called the Bitcoin Faucet. That tiny bitcoin went from 35c back then to $66 today.

I got a little from the Bitcoin Faucet too. The wallet is long since lost...let alone the password.

Awesome, (well, not about forgetting the password :/ I've been there, done that) Sounds like you had the .001 btc too.

Now days it's a Satoshi or something like .0000000001 btc.
