Is there any chance it could be a trap in some way?

Perhaps it could all go down suddenly one day - or - could it be the slow boil like YouTube trapping the attention of the masses?

I lost $36 of Bitcoin in October 2013 (@ $125.49 USD / BTC) when they shut down the Silk Road. It was shy of enough for a gram of ketamine, so I likely would have spent it then if the FBI hadn't stepped in to hold it for safe keeping. As you know, I've had some BTC since the Corbett Report Bitcoin giveaway (at least after 2016), so if I got some since then it would just accrue. I'd never noticed before, but looking at 2013 Bitcoin prices, it spiked up from November 2013 (@ $198.51 USD / BTC) to December 2013 (@ $946.92 USD / BTC) likely when the FBI cashed in. Today it says it's $ 19,293.09 USD / BTC - and climbing. My $36 the US government stole should be worth at least 100 times that. I'd settle for payment in ketamine and/or other recreations. If you're watching spooks, it's a cheap efficient way to shut me up.

Maybe I should find a way to invest some next dip.
