That's a great story :)

Mine is the opposite :( I mined about 500 Bitcoin in mid 2010. But I got paranoid about the lack of anonymity, so I sold them, for maybe $0.06 each. So it goes.

Does the thought sometimes hit you like a pile of bricks when you're sitting at work? Damn.

No, not really. Stuff happens. And I've been pretty lucky about finding ways to get paid for doing stuff that I might otherwise have done for fun. And mostly as a consultant, with very little structure. Now I just work anonymously for Bitcoin.

But anyway, I would have probably have sold it at the ~$1K peak, and the money would all be gone by now ;)
