I played about with Bitcoins and litecoins and Feathercoins back in 2013. These were the days when Bitcoin was pretty easy to obtain through online mining pools and faucets ect. As time went by, I lost interest in Crypto and kinda forgot about it until Bitcoin hit 19k in 2017 . By this time I had changed my computer and hard drives and along with it all my passwords and wallets and dat files, to cut a long story short I searched all over for my old hardrives, ran recovery on one of the drives I had kept and found nothing I gave up searching and just got used to the fact that I had lost a lot of money.
Fast foward to 2019 we were cleaning out a cuboard and at the very back was a shoe box and in that shoebox were 3 hardrives one of which contained all my passwords, wallets and dat files for all my Bitcoins, Litecoin and Feathercoins. I may have lost out on when Bitcoin was at its best but I now have all the info I need. I have sold some of it and will hold the rest until Bitcoin goes up again and it will. The money I got from selling some of the bitcoin and litecoin even though not at its highest I basically got for doing nothing apart from online pool mining and playing with faucets back in 2013, so im happy with it. Never give up if you have lost money on Cryptos and if you did what I did keep, looking for that lost hardrive it will turn up eventully. In 2019 it is so easy to buy and sell Bitcoions too and it was instant money from selling to transfering the moeny into paypal then into my bank account. How things have changed for the better for cryotocoins

I'm not sure if I want to feel rejoice or upset on what happened to you OP. You could have search all over your place in that time then you could have sold all your crypto with a much higher price. But still, you should not also sold it on this time and you just continue to hold because I believe that the next bull run is far greater than in 2017.
