What's the maximum amount of bitcoins you ever held?

[Jacce]

A bit more than 0.1

It's trick question. You cannot hold virtual currency.

once

Damn, but you lost them? Or gambled them away?

[Pazatron]

A little over 0.1 but I'm hoping to buy some when the price drops some more (a lot more).

Nows the time man, bitcoins lost around $300 in a few days. So buy buy buy. or sell?

[BitWinner]

I'm buying a little bit, but I'll get more if the price continues to go down (obviously)...

[Lauda]

Almost 5 digits, back in the days..

Personally I believe that everyone (i.e, us the early adopters) should own at least 1.00 BCT. With the exchange rate going at $675, it is not hard to buy one. Trust me, you'll be grateful when BTC crosses the 1 million mark.

Bought $10k worth at $17/BTC in June 2011 before the slow decline. I did some buying and selling to get it up to 800 as the price fell below $10/BTC.

Then it kept falling, my goal was 1000 BTC. So I put it all on Bitcoinica, where I could short the price. My biggest short was when it was at $4/BTC and falling, I was ready to stop the short at $3.50 but it fell to $3.60 then climbed over $4.50 squeezing me out. I lost about 300 BTC on that one short.

It seemed sketchy that each of my big shorts was squeezed out just before I could make money so I pulled my 400 BTC out of Bitcoinica. A week later they were "hacked".

I needed money for a downpayment on a house from every money source I could come up with in 2012 and sold it all at $11/BTC.

What a story, I wish I had gotten in bitcoin back then

[kellrobinson]

Do you want numbers, or war stories?
For numbers, you would have posted a poll, with choices e.g. btc<1, 1<btc<10, 10<btc<100, 100<btc<1000, 1000<btc etc.
But you didn't do that, so it looks like you prefer narratives.

I once held a 25 BTC casascius coin in my hands.
Unsure if I had one of the 1 BTC coins in my hands at the same time, so it could be a little more

Well, I hope your house gained a lot of value... What a story.
