...By the way, I am just curious that are you serious that you started your companies with just $450?
Anyway, congratulations because finally you still been here, and contributed great things for the forum community...
First, I want to say Thanks to all the posters in this thread for your encouraging words.
Second, I will answer your question @thd26bct. I did not start my small business with only 450$ but sold single BTC for 450$ and I mined a few blocks solo

.
When I heard about BTC was already too late and the price was almost 50% down from first ATH in 2014. This was the first time that something like this happened and many people suggested to hold. So I sold only so much to get my life back and thought that maybe will go up again. Finally, I had to sell when I was loosing more and more every day.
I would like to hear some stories from you Bitcointalk members. Share your Bitcointalk or BTC story if you have one!
