This site is super fun. I knew of bitcoin when it launched and am certain I generated a coin for fun. Didn’t think much of it back then. Occasionally I come across backups and go looking for wallet files with no luck.

I also knew of Amazon and didn’t invest there either so, womp womp.

My sentiment too. I made something like $500 off crypto. Investing tiny bits over the years and cashing out after a few weeks, “this must be the peak!”

Sure I could be a millionaire if I HODL’d but so could anyone for a number of random investments. I’m glad I got anything.

A dollar then would have given me just over half a mil in 2021! And here I thought real estate investing has been the best decision strategy of my life haha.

Not directly related but is there any sort of market for people to buy/sell devices that they've lost the password to but contain $x,000,000 worth of btc? I guess it would be impossible to verify it actually contained btc but maybe an interesting novelty to own nonetheless

people on reddit joked about it, lots of laptop thrown around, sometime with drives in them

now they need to setup www.hindsight-is-twentytwen.ty
