A few years back I had 10 bitcoins and bought weed on the Silk Road with them. Hmm, imagine I held onto it :)

Yeah that happened to a lot of people, myself included.
And it's going to happen to everybody, since the Bitcoin is deflationary.
I sold my Bitcoin a couple weeks before Floyd Mayweather's fight with Conner McGregor. I used all the money to bet on Floyd to win the fight, which he did.

When I went to put the money back into BTC, I found out that I would have made the same amount just by leaving in BTC for the 3 weeks I was out of the market.

at least you're actually using it for something other than speculation.
