Did you ever hear of or play on ActionCrypto? It was Bitcoin binary options trading platform where you'd bet if BTC would be higher or lower within certain time variations? My friends built it from scratch and I helped with some cosmetic input on the website before they decided to take it down a few years ago. Just wondering if you'd heard of it since it was back around the same time I believe.
That's also when one of the same "friends" told me to buy Bitcoin then at around $150-200, but refused to show me how to open a wallet to try to teach me a lesson. Tried to ask a few times, but they insisted it was so easy they didn't need to. So I sadly decided to park the plan, and then forgot for a few years, much to my demise.
