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 i lots dozens. and i have an SSD that died with the keys to 5 more. I'm not losing sleep over it
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
Yeah, but if those Bitcoin were "out there somewhere", and you'd never have to think about money ever again if you found them...
