Hello,
If anyone has seen my recent thread, I've been previously trying to recover a friend's account on Coinbase, in which he had a tiny bit of money a few years ago. After recovering the account, the total balance was approximately €200 worth of Bitcoin, which had been bought/sent, doesn't matter, in 2017, for €2, that's approximately a 9900% increase! These are the times we wish we had spent €10 or €20, and now we would have a semi-decent amount of money, not to mention what the results would be with larger amounts of money >€200.
Does anyone have similar experiences?


I had same experience but with different outcome, mine wasn't in 2017 but in 2018 after the bear market started at the time, I managed to gather some BTC that's a bit over half of 1 Bitcoin and I moved small amount into Bitpay wallet, left it there for years and in 2021 I was playing around with old wallets, importing seed phrases from my old book then I got the BTC again, it wasn't much though but it came it handy at the time.
I believe it was around $400 or a bit more at the time, would be higher now if I still have it, sometimes we think we are throwing money into the pit but it's the opposite, I used to hold handful of Ethereum too, when it was under $50, I would have become a whale today if I held.
Crypto will teach you patience if you are willing to learn and on the long term it will surely pay off if you can find the right assets early, though BTC still proves to be the best of them all.
