Your comment makes me think about how sometimes people build their own mental prisons.

I've met several people who told me stories of loosing their Bitcoin; the people who get too caught up on the alternate reality are those who fail to realize they would have sold their coins anyway the first time they had a bill to pay.

I see this point made a lot, and I'm sure it's true for a lot of people, but there are also people who did in fact hold their bitcoin for a very long time.

Hahahaha, you are probably right, too.

The part that must really fuck with him is that at this valuation recovering the hard drive would be an entirely realistic endeavour if he simply got the permission to do so.
