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 Over time my computer became outdated and I disassembled it and sold the video card and other parts and left the hard drive in my closet.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
well if you only know what will happen to the future you wont disassemble your computer or your hard drive. Maybe its not for you , maybe there will be one good opportunity that will come to you.

What opportunity will come to him now ? The opportunity was already lost when that hard disk was nailed by the grandfather.

Life don't give such chances always, there are few chances in life and only the lucky one avail those chances.  Smiley
