Woah.

Those were cheap bitcoins way back then. Are you still able to hold a lot of it til' today? I wasn't able to reach mtgox's issue and I'm not that old as you guys. Anyway, their website is up for updates only.

The first mail was around the high of the first price rally in 2011.  It did jump to 19 USD or maybe 20 USD or so per BTC.  I sold some of my mined coins around the high as I thought the price is way too high, it'll drop soon and never get back to 20 USD again. Boy, was I stupid …  

Nope – made a lot of mistakes. Sold quite a lot at the highs of some rallys and stopped BTC again and again at some point. I've sold 2 BTC in 2016 for ~1200 USD each. Some coins were stolen, some coins I've lost to scammers.  Nothing left. Boy, was I stupid.

OMG.

I thought that there's a good ending while I read your story. I also did many mistakes and sold at different prices that seem to be good and high for me but I was wrong.

That's sad if you really have left nothing after all of those years but you still sold and got the cash.

who will forget is the best question mate.

I am not yet in crypto those years but since my first day here, i always read about what had happen in this.


And the Biggest ever case the crypto world.

That's true.  I've cashed out on different rallys and always found a way to get back some coins – faucets, sig campaigns, before 2015 mining (started with GPU mining, later got some nice Block Erupter Cubes and Antminers). It was a wild ride and beside the coins and the money: 10 years in Bitcoin (and several altcoins) gives me a whole lot of memories and knowledge – good and bad ones.  

BTW: it's always good to remember if you still you have some coins somewhere.  I made some 0,00266 BTC in Dec-2016 per affiliate links to one service site – back in that days that was just 2$ or so.  Yesterday, I've found that I still have these Satoshis in their wallet and transferred them to my Electrum … Well what was 2$ 4 years ago is now some 150$ today.

Well was not even aware about it by that time, came to know late. But good to know that we have who have started right almost at the beginning of the btc when hardly anyone even knew about it and after 2017 boom it is covered by all media and mostly everyone knows it. Just wished could have known earlier and bought and just kept it.

Wow, 22 BTC @ $2. What a nice price. I hope you bought more back then and stored them well. Congratulations, you should be a millionaire now. Unfortunately I had no clue what bitcoins were 10 years ago.

Nice to know.

You still got some and with your experience, you can still accumulate depending on the strategy that you have. That's really a wild ride and I know what that feels like and will only give me a sigh but as long as you've put the profit into good use, I think that there's no need to think about regret.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I wish I'd have known back then, what direction this will take. But as always: in hindsight everything looks plausible and totally logical. But I had no clue back then, that this is more than just fun.  So no, I'm not a millionaire.
