In his situation, he's the MEME.
But to be honest, if I had Bitcoin during 2011, I don't believe that I would have the same conviction in HODLing Bitcoin as I have now. The biggest exchange was a website domain registered for Magic The Gathering cards, no one accepted it or was interested in it outside of the community, and was the Silk Road already online? The Silk Road might be the only service that might make smarter HODLers say, "This is going somewhere". But I'm the stupid one.
hehe yeah, he is funny though as he is just regretting for $8 while he could earn billions. But one gets as much as he has
in his fortune (idk either you believe in fortune or not but i have this belief). Well, what can one do to change fortune is to make pray (yeah i am religious too).
So you mean "destiny"? That probably is true. Greg Schoen already had 1,700 Bitcoins, but he wasn't destined to HODL and be rich.
I did not realize before how difficult it was to trust on BTC due to less adoption and bad uses as you mentioned Silk Road and according to my knowledge it's been shut down due to illegal buying and selling.
Bad uses? No ser. It's technically Bitcoin's greatest uses. It shows that the protocol actually works! Because if not, Bitcoin would have already been shut down like the Liberty Reserve many years ago.
