At one point I owned about 150 bitcoins, but I sold the majority off at the $30-something peak a few years back. I also paid for my bitcoin miner back when bitcoins were $11, and my cost was 58 bitcoins. The miner that I finally received, has made me 5 bitcoins.

Sad times.

I also bought at around $30. Back when the only way I could realistically get BTC was on IRC on #btc-otc using PayPal. I still have the original Excel spreadsheet I used to track the purchases and marking the ones where I got ripped off. Then it all went to shit in a few hours. Forgot about the coins until now.

It's equally probable that people are going to laugh their heads off in a few years that people were selling their coins at $300. I mean it was ridiculous to us that the $30 coins were selling at $250 in April.

Yep I had about the same amount, when they were worth around 7-8$ a coin. Bummer, 40,000$ would be nice right about now.

Of course, if everybody knew BTC would skyrocket in value, and hoarded coins- hello deflationary spiral, hello BTC crashing in value.
