yeah i lots dozens. and i have an SSD that died with the keys to 5 more. I’m not losing sleep over it
It’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.
Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…
There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.

Yeah, but if those Bitcoin were “out there somewhere”, and you’d never have to think about money ever again if you found them…

I had a few in my digital wallet that disappeared. I’ve looked for it for hours. oh well… when I last accessed it, the rate was probably less than $20 each, so I figured I lost a couple bucks… I would have sold them forever ago so no use thinking about what they’re worth now

I sold mine for about $1,000 each and never looked back. It was free money. I would have never held them past $2k, much less 100k

I’ve got a couple fractions sitting in a wallet I’ve had for ages that I just don’t plan on selling at this point, maybe if it went to like $1m per coin or something stupid.
I’d written it off ages ago so seeing the price climb is interesting.
