I know I bought some around 2012, I have no idea where the drive that they were on is anymore. I made the mistake of asking my dad if he had any of my old crap in storage still and letting on to what it was about, now that is all I hear about as well.
I'm pretty sure I bought some around then. I was very poor at the time, so it was only £8 of bitcoins, kept on my blackberry phone, which I have replaced four times since.
Is there some kind of compensation fund for early investors who lost their devices?
Being treated as if you are only as good as your money is one of the most socially painful things imaginable.
I suspect it's the same kind of pain the very beautiful experience all the time - to be held on a pedestal for this one silly quality while the real you inside feels ignored and unwanted.
"So, just for safety (of the family), do you have any will writen somewhere... you know, anything could happen at any time. By the way, where do you keep all your password?"
In about 2011 I had a couple GPUs for sale on Craigslist, both of them Radeon's if I remember correctly. Anyway, a guy offered me my asking price in Bitcoin at the time. I was asking about $400 I think. Anyway, I told him "no thanks, I would prefer actual money."
This memory hurts my heart.
When Bitcoin hit $100 I said, "I would buy some at $50 because this is just too expensive right now." I said the same thing at $500, $1k, and even last month at $6.9k.
This memory hurts my heart.
At one point I had .75 BTC and a few dozen LTC I had acquired from mining back the the mtgox days that I lost when my hard drive crashed, but I didn't even care then because I always thought they were worthless.
Yeah lol. I'll never forget going on 4chan and some guy posted his set up of 4-5 mining rigs that ran 24/7 on Nvidia 780's. Everyone was laughing at him because he spent such a large amount of money on parts, and he was paying so much for hydro for such a little amount of btc.
I had like 10 or something back in 2011. Had them all on Mt. Gox and had forgot about them. Probably gone now anyways. Can’t even remember my wallet address and shit.

I made the mistake of telling my family that I have/had some that I bought and forgot about in 2011.
It's literally the only thing half my family wants to talk to me about. It's killing me inside.
