@TheQuin, is Myfe still working from freebitco.in here or not (just curious since you also appear to be helping freebitco.in).

A couple of months ago when wetsuit made some changes there were a lot of complaints in these threads. Myfe wasn't online for a long time and I ended up giving the trolls a hard time. Then wetsuit offered me his job. I'm assuming those facts are related.

Ah right, that's a bit sad.
Yeah, myfe used to come online once a day or so on the forum for quite a short amount of time. He'd only pick certain messages to reply to quite a lot as well when people had issues (mine was one of them though so that wans't too bad).

The faucet gets you a lottery ticket each time too so you could get quite a bit.
I remember having quite a hefty amount of bitcoin there once and earning the nice interest they pay there.

Have a look at round 126. A brand new account won the 5th prize of 0.11908959 BTC with 2 tickets. They only had one free spin and got all that. Anything can and does happen in games of chance.

Yeah there are always those lucky people. I haven't got that lucky ever, doubt I've ever won the lottery actually.

And it's true that if we'd have got in sooner, we might have a lot more Bitcoin, it's also true that we would either have sold it, or regretted selling it when we got up to 20k and then are now slumped at around ~10k for the forceable.

I do so remember back in 2012 thinking if only I'd got in sooner. I'm pretty sure that everyone starting today is still an early adopter. Most of them will make the mistake you are talking about and sell out too soon. HODL, you know it makes sense.

Hodl seems like a great option since I've lost near enough to 2BTC in the past two years by doing certain things like trading (cryptocurrency and cloud mining).
I should put all my coins into an encrypted paper wallet in a vault where I'm not as happy to go and collect it every time I have an idea... (that'd keep everything healthy).

1 satoshi = 1 dollar would seem impossible but I would rate it far more likely then that for a variety of reasons, ask me if you are not aware of how that happens.

Yes, so many lost coins will mean that could be possible one day.
I have to admit, when I started, 1mbtc = 1$ seemed improbable, and we're currently at around 1mbtc = 10$!
