Hey mate! On the same boat. A coworker had told me when the first BTC wallet daemon was launched. Hit 50 first day. What I can tell you is that I quickly Accumulated thousand of BTC.

When BTC-E launched, I couldn’t ride long term, sold them in the wave. Made profits, but who knew it would have been this much of an amazing technology to hodl.

Then, got mtgoxed. We live and learn! Loved your story, glad we are not the only ones here!

PS, when Satoshi dice first came out, it had a LTC address where you would send coins and a RNG would run and send you random number back, could be 1x 2x 100x etc. I remember gambling 50+ BTC and ltc at the time. Now? That’s over 2.5M.

Fun times, now just hold some good Alts so we don’t make the same mistake again.
