But you need xDai to do anything on Gnosis, including in my case claiming my CLNY and my profile on the "metacolony" that governs the Colony DAO software project. Fortunately the good folks at Colony sent me a few pennies worth of xDai, enough to cover my bootstrap needs.

Well, I signed up for Colony, got my CLNY, and made noble plans to set up a DAO there soon, but of course, first I wanted to do the base, degen thing and see what my CLNY was worth. Also my first plan to acquire some more xDai was to sell a bit of my newfound CLNY riches. BUT....

Turns out I didn't actually have enough xDai left after my bootstrapping to even pay for the trade... the Colony people had sent me 0.01 xDai (1c), and I'd spent about 0.0065 already, and I had 0.0035 xDai (~0.3c) left. Not enough xDai to sell CLNY to get more xDai 🤣

I basically haven’t made a bitcoin transaction since like 2017 🤔
Nobody sends me bitcoin and I don’t want to give mine to anyone so it just sits there
