Or they sold it all in the 2013 bubble and now regret it.
(This happened to a friend of mine - he sold it all off to pay-off his student loans before the 2013 bubble peaked - it'd be worth over $10m at the end of 2017).
- jamiek88 7y agoOr, like me, literally deleted my wallet with 100 ish coins in 'cos I couldn't be bothered finding a USB key. I though 'oh I'll just mine a few more next week' when I get my new laptop (!!! mining on cpu). Narrator: He forgot about it.
- umanwizard 7y agoIf you still have the old machine, it's not impossible that the deleted wallet is still on the disk and could be recovered using some sort of undelete tool.
- jlokier 7y agoGood thinking. I'll be happy to supply expertise recovering data from old disk images if this is the case :-)
- geerlingguy 7y agoI had something like 20 coins, but it was on a secondary computer that didn’t have backups and was long since recycled. You can believe I spent a few hours digging through all my backups to find the wallet back in 2017... ah well.

- zifnab06 7y agoOr they did what I did - spent it. At the peak I would have had $8 million before taxes had I not turned it into cash to pay for the electricity my CPU was burning to mine it. Oh well. Good thing I actually enjoy my current job.
