Back in 2010, a young tech enthusiast named Jake was intrigued by a new thing called Bitcoin. Curious but not expecting much, he mined about 15,000 BTC using his modest desktop computer. At the time, Bitcoin was practically worthless, so Jake saw it more as a fun experiment than an investment.
He saved his Bitcoin wallet on a trusty flash drive and tossed it into his desk drawer, forgetting about it as time went on. Years passed, and life got busy. Bitcoin’s value slowly started to rise, but Jake didn’t think much of it.
Fast forward to 2017. Bitcoin was in the headlines, skyrocketing in value. Jake suddenly remembered his old stash. Feeling a wave of excitement, he tore through his house searching for that flash drive. But it was nowhere to be found. After days of frantic searching, a horrible realization dawned on him: during a recent spring cleaning, he had thrown the flash drive away.
By 2021, Jake’s 15,000 BTC would have been worth over $500 million. But instead of living a life of luxury, Jake was left wondering what could have been.
Moral of the story: Don’t forget where you keep your fortune—even if it’s virtual!
