Who lamented making $400 instead of $13k back in 2011. Those coins would today be worth about $95m, but there's no way he'd have kept them -- same as the buy who bought the pizzas (or the guy who sold them)
This guy was bored of $14/coin, it wasn't moving

So he took the loss (in July 2011 they were at a peak, jumping from 77 cents to $15 in 3 months)
Had someone found an old laptop with the coins, they'd have been looking for it in the 2017 craze (ala Big Bang Theory) and sold then.
Bitcoin is currently 3 times the peak in December 2017.
