My wife doesn't like it when I tell the story of the hard drive I threw away with a wallet with 2 dozen BTC on it.

But lets be honest - when BTC hit 100 bucks, we would have cashed it out thinking we were geniuses.

Yep, I timed the top of the market perfectly and cashed out 5 BTC at ~$80/BTC.
You are better than me. Back when you could mine BTC with the CPU, i had about 2 coins. I found it useless and silly and deleted my wallet at some point :)
Same here. There are a ton of unspendable coins for that reason.

For the record, they're still useless and silly, that just doesn't stop people from exchanging a nonsense amount of money for them.
