One day, a few years ago now, I had ~100 bitcoins on Old Usb Key.

I didn't remember having them, as I'd had them at the very beginning. This USB key was lying around in a drawer, as I imagine a lot of people have Smiley
We don't know whether we should believe your story or not, but the 100 bitcoins you hold will make you a billionaire now. It cannot be recovered if you do not have access to the USB so the bitcoins you have will be lost forever. My question is why did you just remember today that you have 100 bitcoins and whether it's a coincidence or not, I think you are quite a careless person. Even though people are desperately collecting bitcoins to save, you are wasting chance to become someone who has a lot of money now.

It is important to keep some private keys when people store bitcoins and your case is really surprising because 100 bitcoins is not cheap nowadays. It's quite a sad story because we have to lose a lot of bitcoin in conditions of quite significant increases even though we can make maximum profits at this time.
Yes, the current $6.5M for 100 Bitcoins is a huge amount.  This means that the op either didn't care much about his bitcoins or that the bitcoin value at the time he bought the bitcoins was so insignificant that he didn't think about its future. I believe op's story because op's account was registered on this forum in 2013. and until the end of 2017, the merit system was in the form of Airdrop, but at that time he was so lazy that he did not post that he used his account, so he is still in Member rank. so it is possible for him to lose the private key. It is a very sad incident
