I’m happy i never got involved with bitcoin. I remember being mildly interested but decided to not bother. If i had a drive with almost billion on it and i had lost it or just not able to access it, it would dig at me too even if i tried to just let it go.
Damn, money really is the root of all evil.
I messed around with bitcoin in like 2011. It seemed valueless because there were very few USD markets for it. Anyway I used to play a game where every action was a gambling mechanic in full bitcoin. Want to kick a coconut tree? It costs 1 BTC and 0-4 will drop. I had 100s of BTC at one point.
Anyway the computer had issues and then the hard drive was taken by a family member. I don’t get too upset thinking about them because I would have just spent them once they had real value.
I have a friend in NYC who searches his entire apartment every year or two because he had a few BTC on an old thumb drive. It is a bummer that he lost it.
I got some dogecoin at a one cent and sold it in the twenties, which was a nice little gain, but nothing huge like being an early BTC holder.
This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.
His wife left him because he wouldn’t stop talking about it and it became too much for her. very sad
He destroyed his life already. Probably a few others too.
He’s gonna turn out like the granddad in the movie Holes
