Reading comprehension my friend.  First set.  I acquired many more that I did not pay for with BTC, and yes, I was one of the first people with an ASIC (in relative terms), albeit not first 10. In fact, I did the math not too long ago and if you were in the first 100 or so people to receive an Avalon, it alone mined over 1000BTC.  Further, I guess I should amend that statement as you've jogged my memory: I also bought 100BTC at ~$20 when I purchased the ASIC.

I also did not state how many coins I still hold, merely that I have mined in the range of four-digits.
