10 years ago would have been 2014; at that point 25 Bitcoin would be a good chunk of cash:

The price of bitcoin opened the year at $770, according to the CoinDesk Price Index. By mid-December, it was trading in the mid-$300 range. This represents a drop of more than 50% from the start of the year.

It'd be interesting to know when this was actually from; it's a great screenshot even without the exact details, though.

Blasphemy.

10 years ago will forever be 1995.

I will die on this hill.

Agreed.

Completely unrelated: pretty crazy that a starcraft tournament was held 3 years before it released, and the prize was something that wasn't available until 14 years after the tourny.
