Imagine I was mining bitcoin for 24 hours back then

Sorry for being little off topic.
Technically you were an owner of 500 BTC if you mined 48 hours, imagine.
But, would you be the owner of $3250000 (as per today's price)? Holding in a bearish market is easier than holding in a bullish. Back in 2009, no one imagined, BTC will get such value. Most of them ended up with selling at 10x, even 100x which is still a tiny amount to $6500.
