[....] I'd wager that he's far from bitcoin broke, though. [....]
In fact he is:
-snip- Other than a little bit of single digit change, I spent everything I mined. -snip-
That is so bloody sad to see it really is, he must have been so annoyed with himself i would be for the rest of my life, you held thousands of bitcoins and you basically gave them up
The fact getting here late is bad enough but imagine having them many thousands to then see the price rocket and you don't have any/many left i feel sorry for the dude lol
He could come back and write a book though i am sure that would net him something good enough to live on at least maybe even make him bitcoin famous
