Checked bitcoin when it was about $7 after the giant crash. Not when it was worth some mere pennies.

I actually bought my first 10btc when they were .87cents each! Also, back at this time I bought my BTC with PAYPAL believe it or not! Oh how times have changed!

I'll make a total guess and say most went bunkers.

Buying pizza, formatting hard-drives with keys, confiscated PC with thousand of btc, etc, etc.

You're friendly neighborhood hobo might be a btc millionaire.

I was involved probably 2009 or early 2010. I started collecting them thinking they may be used in a popular online game like WoW or something new that may have come out. But once they jumped up and started being worth .50 USD to 1 USD I thought "Its never going to go higher than this, dump them, this is a fluke." And I did get rid of all but 9 BTC. And it was only because I missed an email from a person (went to spam) that wanted to Paypal me for the last 9 or 10 BTC I had. If I had caught that email I wouldnt have had any left.

I really never thought they were going to go nay higher than that. Things were developing very slowly. Hell, if I remember correctly DailyBitcoins used to give away .5 BTC once every 24 hours. Then when it got up to about $1 USD per BTC they dropped it down to .05 BTC once per 24 hours and I remember thinking "What a waste of time and effort...never going back to that site."

Yeap I was, at that time it wasn't even worth to do a backup for wallets, if the wallet contain only a few Bitcoin, I just deleted them.

Hopefully in a few years time we will be asking does anyone remember when bitcoin was under $1, 000. Hopefully.

The future will reveal if the common unit will be µBTC.

I know a guy who had close to a million USD worth of BTC. He sold them over time for about 10% of that value.
