Story Time:
I heard about Bitcoin in 2011, it had just spiked to an ATH of $8, so I thought I would give mining it a try.
The first few days, I was mining 1BTC/day. Mining rate slowed drastically as BTC gained popularity.
I was sending my BTC to MtGox as it was mined, until the price of BTC crashed again. I evidently lost interest, and promptly forgot about the ~$20 of BTC I had accumulated.
Come 2014, MtGox shuts down, taking 2/3 of my BTC with it. I wrote it off entirely, lamenting my loss of a couple hundred $.
2021 rolls around, BTC is at an ATH of $50k. I hear about the Mt Gox settlement, wondering if I still have my account info. I can't find it.
What I do find is my old wallet, and see there's still 2BTC in it.
Last month, when BTC hits $100k, I finally decide it's time to cash out the majority of it, for a down payment on a house later this year.
