...unfortunately for me I never held onto any of the hundreds of sub $10 Bitcoins that I have bought in the past...
...I now view Bitcoin as a nasty pernicious vapour asset...
Correlation?
On the contrary.
Back then, I viewed Bitcoin with much ideological 'fight the banksters' esteem and I always intended to hold onto a pile of Bitcoins just to 'support' the cause. But the problem was that me n my mates are Silk Road regulars. And for that we needed to spend Bitcoins.....and then Intersango got effectively closed down leaving no easy way (that we knew about) to get hold of coins for the Road....so the stash got depleted. I don't delude myself for a minute though that I might otherwise have been a Bitcoin millionaire as I know very well that as soon as I seen that I had multiplied my money by three or four times, I would have creamed my pants and cashed out.
The only way I could be a Bitcoin millionaire today, would be if I fell into a coma sometime in 2012, and came out of it in late November 2013.
