I was involved probably 2009 or early 2010. I started collecting them thinking they may be used in a popular online game like WoW or something new that may have come out. But once they jumped up and started being worth .50 USD to 1 USD I thought "Its never going to go higher than this, dump them, this is a fluke." And I did get rid of all but 9 BTC. And it was only because I missed an email from a person (went to spam) that wanted to Paypal me for the last 9 or 10 BTC I had. If I had caught that email I wouldnt have had any left.

I really never thought they were going to go nay higher than that. Things were developing very slowly. Hell, if I remember correctly DailyBitcoins used to give away .5 BTC once every 24 hours. Then when it got up to about $1 USD per BTC they dropped it down to .05 BTC once per 24 hours and I remember thinking "What a waste of time and effort...never going back to that site."
