Found an old app with 0.018 BTC from 2020 and now I feel like past-me left me a snack

I was cleaning old passwords and realized I still had access to a dusty account from 2020 with a tiny bitcoin balance I'd completely forgotten. Not life-changing money, but enough to make me laugh and immediately become nicer to past-me.

Now I'm deciding whether to leave it as a weird time capsule or fold it into my current DCA stash.

Make sure the account security is updated before you do anything.

Past-you finally contributed to the household.

Consolidate it. Time capsules are cute until you forget the login again.

I found \$43 in DOGE once. Considerably less majestic but still a fun afternoon.

I vote move it to wherever your current system is simplest

Yeah the 'don't maintain two random setups' argument is winning

0.018 is a nice little surprise actually.
