They did give 0.1 btc in the early days. Which if you did hold into them would be roughly $6500 by today's rate (you'd also have BCH, BCHN, BSV and BTG).
They also seem to have quietly closed early users' accounts and taken the holdings.
Can confirm that happened to me.
I have an account from early on when they first launched. Got some small BTC in it and never touched it again. Still there. Odd why some got closed. I log into it once every couple of years.
"I log into it once every couple of years."
That probably explains it?
I got .03 btc from the early days sign up. It's almost $2k now. Thanks Brian!
Crazy I missed another boat there. More will come down the river and I'll jump on the right one eventually.
I just looked at my Coinbase balance for the first time in a few years.
Apparently I got $5 of free bitcoin at some point in 2016 and it's now worth $800. Sweet!
Whenever something charges/pays $0, it’s probably not a perfect price :)
