I wish I had kept my 1,700 BTC @ $0.06 instead of selling them at $0.30, now that they're $8.00!

Hi new peeps. To answer a few questions I keep getting asked:
- Yes, I'm still alive
- No, I don't really hold BTC anymore (Yes, I'm serious)
- Yes, I hold some alt-coins (mostly ETH, RDD and Sia)
- Yes, I did have BTC but sold it at around $15k to pay student loans/cap gains

Selling 3 of 4 NFT from my old 2011 tweet on OpenSea. Sale ends February 10, 2022.

Just finished filing my MtGox Rehabilitation Claim and if I'm reading this right, the 0.79 BTC I had in the exchange is pegged to the price of BTC at the time of Bankruptcy, so like $111. Wow.

@saahaand
Yeah, I mean, even if I hadn't sold at $0.30, I might have sold at $100, $200, etc. Unless you literally knew for a fact it was gonna rise like a rocket you'd be tempted at every milestone.

Finally got around to purging about 700 of my old 2007-era tweets. I did leave the bitcoin one, of course. There was a lot of context-free commentary and broken image upload links, so not much of value was lost.

In my defense, I probably would have lost them due to the mtgox hack, I did transfer a few to an offline wallet tho

I know the BTC price, folks. You can stop telling me how much money I would have had.😀 Yes I still hold a few BTC but not nearly what I had, not even close. I also have some ETH and XVG that I got into early but I totally wish I'd bought WAY WAY more.

@sape263
Still in crypto, much much lower balances than I could have had, had I just forgotten about a cold wallet until this very moment :) My current strategy if I sell out of a coin is to keep like 5-10% in an offline wallet in case it skyrockets.

So I guess the internet is losing its collective minds over the dip in BTC. I mean, it was at $8k a month ago, so a correction was probably in order. Still say ETH is WAY undervalued.

Well, I guess OpenSea defaults to a Fixed Price Sale instead of Auction like I assumed it would. Somebody got the Lights Out version for 0.1 ETH. Whoops.

I mean, I don't have any skills that would let me be accurate on this. With that in mind, my gut feeling is probably somewhere between $10-15k. I'm probably wrong though, it could very well drop to like $4k as well.

Long since over it, early when BTC hit $100 my coworkers at the time found the tweet and reminded me of how much it would be worth for a while. I was salty then, but it's been a while and I've had plenty of time to just laugh at being known for something like this.

On Mtgox, back when it still existed. I mean I actually bought the coins probably around July 2010. I had an ID in their database of like 252, was one of the reasons I moved to a password manager.

I can't think of a time-lock crypto method that doesn't involve a third party in some way or take forever. Maybe there's a need for a site that publishes a public key for every year between like now and 2050, and then the private on the 1st of that year.

I can't find any historical information on how many BTC were available on mtgox at the time. At the time there were 3M BTC minted in total, so you'd be purchasing a significant portion of all coins, it'd get more expensive as you'd bought up all the Asks.

I was pretty lucky to get into MtGox before they stopped allowing Paypal but get out before the hack which would have left me *still today* waiting on their bankruptcy proceedings.

I’m a lot more impressed with the iPhone X than I thought I would be. Face ID is very responsive and I barely notice the notch. Expected to hate the new gestures, but a few hours in and I seem to already be used to them. Need a case, though, it’s like a bar of soap.

Nope, some small amounts of some altcoins but nothing life changing unless the market shifts dramatically. I mentioned before but I sold the last of my BTC to pay off some bill and capital gains taxes on it.

Mostly just more potential to increase compared to BTC. Lower market caps have more of a chance to increase over ones that are already high. BTC has been lagging behind in the tech, transactions are still taking way too long the last time I checked.

After wrestling with the Security and Authentication settings I was finally able to get the code generator enabled and turn off the SMS codes. You have to turn the phone code on and then add Google Auth, then turn off the text code, kinda convoluted but it works.

@TVK_NFT
Exactly, the temptation to cash out, especially early on was really high. Every peak was a temptation to take your profits because you were never sure if there was going to be legislation to ban it or something else. Now it's easier to HODL because there's less uncertainty.

Early on MtGox was still accepting Paypal so I used that at the time, it wasn't long after that I think Paypal shut down their account or they at least stopped accepting it.

Ha, that's about how I felt around the time when BTC jumped from $100 to $200 overnight. At this point I'm at peace with it, I can't be the only one who did the same thing, though I doubt many tweeted about it that far back!
