I messed around with bitcoin in like 2011. It seemed valueless because there were very few USD markets for it. Anyway I used to play a game where every action was a gambling mechanic in full bitcoin. Want to kick a coconut tree? It costs 1 BTC and 0-4 will drop. I had 100s of BTC at one point.
Anyway the computer had issues and then the hard drive was taken by a family member. I don't get too upset thinking about them because I would have just spent them once they had real value.
fr, i remember being mind blown when bitcoin hit £240.
If i had had some at that point i probs would have cashed out.
My old housemate lost like half a dozen btc in the Mt.Gox collapse
Exactly, there's so many points where 99% cashed out
