    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.

      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’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.

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