I mean, you don't even have to look very far. Gavin's faucet used to give out 5 BTC at a time.

this makes me so sad
y didn't i know about it then
Sad

At that time, Bitcoin was worth less than $1. If you weren't a Bitcoin believer, 5 BTC was just like any other giveaway contest on the internet that gave you $1 or $2. And even if you received 5 BTC at the time, at around $4, I think we would have sold it if it reached $100 or $200 per coin. Everyone must have regretted seeing that site because they didn't have the chance to participate. But believe me, if you had been one of those who participated, I don't believe you would have kept your Bitcoin until now. Because I would have sold it too, unless you forgot you ever entered the contest. If you feel sad, you need to know that in that era, someone could spend several thousand BTC just to buy small items like game vouchers or pizza, as Lazslo did - CMIIW

but still.. btc is such a missed opportunity for so many people of becoming rich Sad

Don't mourn about it.

Work with what you already have at the table and be happy that BTC is still kicking Cool
