It's an idiotic story, but it's completely true...

I am a nasty cyber-punk who learned about bitcoin back in 2011 and got my first bitcoins at that time, I just mined them on my work computer, while doing my own business, which did not bother me much, by those standards, my computer was quite powerful.
I didn't have many bitcoins, only around 30-40, I don't remember exactly, at that time it was only a few dollars (February)
After that, my personal life spun around, I started doing offline work and forgot about all this. Over time my computer became outdated and I disassembled it and sold the video card and other parts and left the hard drive in my closet. (more to the point)

I heard again about bitcoin in 2017 and immediately remembered my hard drive, which my grandfather had hammered into the wall of his townsman as a tool holder.

So my story has come to an end, and it hurts and makes me laugh to write it. So no comment.

Thanks,
Jason
