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 Over time my computer became outdated and I disassembled it and sold the video card and other parts and left the hard drive in my closet.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 garage 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
If you had 40 bitcoin in the present date, that would have changed your fortune and you would not have to earn for the rest of your life, but the truth is that you do not have your hard disk with you which contains those bitcoins.
The more you thought about it, the more sad you will feel, You need to forget about it and move on. I know its difficult to forget but you have no other option.
