So back in 2012 / 2013 I was quite involved with the Crypto scene, and invested in a mining rig (good old days!) After around a year or so, I managed to mine LTC, trade BTC etc and had somewhere in the region of 5BTC. As the prices all started to plummet, I turned the rig to a desktop computer and stupidly left all of my coins in Cryptsy. Easily done for someone who understood the basic fundamentals of the Crypto world, but not all of the security to go with it.

I managed to recover about 0.2BTC from old wallets etc, and although kicking myself that I could have a life changing amount of money, I've come to a conclusion that I just need to build a bridge and start again!

My question to you all is have you ever experienced anything like this? How did you find the motivation to start again? And what do you think are the best ways nowadays (as i'm 4 years out of touch) at getting back to that milestone of 1BTC in my wallet?

Thanks,

5 btc is a lot and im sure there are some people there who did experienced the same situation of yours.5 btc on those years are not really much at all this is why we wont really bother or even take value of those coins and done something not really worth it at all and now prices has changed and now we would start to regret but its not yet over and we can still able to stand up again.

No, 5 Bitcoin in that time also has high value, because as per I know, the price of Bitcoin in that time was $1,000 - $1,300 - highest price. Of course, if you compare the price of Bitcoin in 2013 to the current price, it just = ~1/3 - 1/4 of current price.
