If only he knew what Bitcoins future would be he won't had made such statement. Stories like these are kinda motivating especially to the newbies and I love that you brought back a statement that dates back to when Bitcoin was young so newbies that would come across it would acknowledge the power of holding, there are many folks who are procrastinating about whether they should buy Bitcoin now or wait, I believe that if such folks hear Ichi's story or cone across this thread they'll immediately jump into the marke. Bitcoin has lots of benefits to offer, expecially to those willing to be patience.
