Okay.. guys.. I don't make up this story.. please calm down..

I just want to make sure before I spend thousands of dollars for retriving data from old hdd.

If I could retrieve this so called "private key" or whatever they emailed me, I probably be able to restore old bitcoin and could cashing it out. Am I correct?

I couldn't remember exact purchased date but I do remember that they opened bitcoin exchange market and I could saw bitcoin chart just after I bought it.

I remember bitcoin price jumped to nearly $1000 after they open exchange.

I just want to make sure the old bitcoin has value.
