I was an escrow for a bet between two guys and holding their  money until one party is able to fulfil a mission before i can release the money to him and so i after learning of bitcoin and how my cousin was making little bucks from his altcoin rig decided to buy some old graphic cards with that money and i succeeded in holding them off  for a month before i could raise the money back and by then i already had an altcoin mining rig.
