It is indeed a very beautiful story if this is true and I have no reason to believe otherwise. Unfortunately many people who bought bitcoin in the early days in year 2010-2012, almost all of them were not patient enough and they did stupid things with their bitcoins, the most stupid thing according to me is a guy who bought a pizza for 10.000 bitcoins in the early years. Well done to this IT guy although he is a millionaire now only because he forgot about this disk for some time and now when bitcoin price boomed he remembered it.

I think if I just had a lot of money 9 years ago, I will be doing the same thing. Because the people who believed and bought a lot of bitcoin that time is now millionaires. I think he will not be selling off applications this days, he will be starting to send bitcoin and invest.

The very early users I would imagine a lot of them would have sold their coins or given them away for virtually nothing, there will of course be a ton of users that had more belief and have made themselves pretty rich by holding. I think now with the value of bitcoin it comes down to personal circumstance, how high can you let your bitcoin go before you cash out go get yourself debt free, kids education and so on. I would like to think that I will not need to sell for a long time but you just never know.

It may seem stupid now, but at the time people didn't know that bitcoin would be as valuable as it is today. Honestly, the first time I heard about Bitcoin I was thinking "Ponzi scheme" in the back of my mind.

That's right. But remember that the risk of investing in Bitcoin in those days was much higher than today. Here is one guy yesterday meet him and talk a little business ( he is IT business and make online apps for healty or doctors somethng like that ) and i just ask "do you know bitcoin? "
He said : yes we now and we a millionare now I' m suprised but how is that ? He said my brother position

That is a perfect example of a risk taker. If you see something that is about opportunity and have a possibility to revolutionize the world then don't hesitate to learn it because it might be the perfect time for you to become successful in millionaire. It is not too late to get in bitcoin, if you will invest 10,000 USD now and if you will keep it for 10 years then you can get a million dollars profit.

I choose to see it all as strokes of luck, because had he not misplaced the hard disk, it would have been one and same story as those you called stupid. It is also a pointer to the fact that success in life is not solely determined by how hard one works, time and chance happens to all of us and we all cannot win the same day, but everyone can be a winner! To the best of my understanding, all of us qualify as early adopters of Bitcoin and we have not even gone past the threshold of what Bitcoin holds in stock and as such looking back couple of years from now, many would be smiling while some would still be dreaming the Bitcoin dream.

Actualy he had luck to misplace the disk, because if he didn't he would have probably sold all his bitcoins and now he wouldn't have anything. Many early adopters who bought bitcoins back then just for fun and didn't have the clue how worth will bitcoin become, sold the coins and now they probably regret that decision but on the other hand how could you predict the future.

Yes but why sell them for a few hundred dollars ? That's not life changing. I would have left them if I had them back then. I agree about the losing the wallet thing. There most probably the reason so many are rich. They scrambled to get their Bitcoin wallet back and those who did were very wealthy. Those who didn't ... Well... I don't want to know .

That is right, I think the regret is not on the IT guy but on the other people who are asking about how he became a millionaire because he is thinking that if he did the same he will be the at the same standing as the IT guy. Who knows that this will be happening and will be creating a lot of millionaires in our era. I just hope this will be resulting in a positive than being negative.

You are probably saying so because now you know what unprecedented attributes Bitcoin has, back then it wasn't as easy, there were no clues or reference and those early adopters must have seen the invisible. I can also say that lot more people are now better informed about Bitcoin and as such, some are going to realize that today is yet another opportunity to ride on the wings of Bitcoin and rewrite their financial history.

I would like to think that I will not need to sell for a long time but you just never know. The early users had preferred to spend their bitcoins because they were not much aware of its importance and value in the market. They must not be having any idea that the bitcoins would become a common source of earning in future providing a secure future. Bitcoins nowadays are in their pumping phase so it’s a wise decision to keep your bitcoins in your wallet waiting for the prices to get high.

indeed for those who buy bulk bitcoin and hold it since 2011 or 2012 will be the millionaire now but unfortunately only several people able to do that because on that year most people will never thought bitcoin being so expensive on this year and i'm pretty sure they will not aiming bitcoin as the investment although the price was so low at the time

His story is something everyone will need to relate with at some point whether now or in the future because of the potential embedded in bitcoin that ensures that value creation is added to everyone who believe in it whether in the past, now, or the future. And everyone of who joined later at this time will have the same story in five years to those who will be joining in then. The fact is let's wait as our own time is coming and its coming fast and very soon.

No one would really thought on what would happen to bitcoin as of now and for those people who do believe on its on the earliest times have really been rewarded by enormous amounts. Its really hard to engage in those times since no one really knows about the thing on whats ahead and as a part of human nature we would really hesitate to invest our money because we are afraid to lose it we wont know if it would be success or not and for those people who gamble in bitcoin back in the years would really cherish that profits.

You know, this is one thing with developers; always catching up with what’s new and what’s not, lol. This guy is really damn lucky. I wish I had an opportunity to purchase about 100 bitcoins at the price of at least $5, and forget about it till now. By now, man I will be filthy rich. **sigh** lmao.

You see one unique thing about bitcoin is that everyone has a story to tell whether you joined in early or you joined in late and the majority for everyone who never lost his/her faith in bitcoin is always positive. For me who joined a little less than a year can equally attest to the beauty and how tense the trying times in this one year were and how tempting some rash decisions were made but in all, I didnt lose the faith and thats why I dont have any regret which I am sure in the next 5 years, I can tell much more interesting story than Op.
