He lost the coins in 2013 or before. The price was then $15 or even lower...
If he just bought 100 BTC for only $1.5k in 2013, he'd now have 10 million dollars....
It's a needle in a haystack, but that's a really valuable needle. It might actually be worth it.
If my math is right then he would have had to have $117k in bitcoin at that time to have $780m now. That is a lot of money to lose even back then.
Yeah.
I mean I didn't buy $15 in bitcoin 15 years ago (have never bought any, never will), and I'm not obsessed about it.
Is it really any different for this guy?
