Agree, I had 12 BTC mined back in 2010-2011, I just did it because I was being part of other distributed computing networks like SETI@home and Folding@Home. I mined for a while, accumulated them on a wallet on my hard drive and completely forgot about it until the boom in 2014. By then I had already erased 2 generations of hard drives from that machine, it was my NAS for a while, etc.
I don't feel bad about it at all, I never imagined or considered it would become what it is and it was just a toy app I ran for a while after SETI@home and Folding@Home got me intrigued with the concept of massively distributed computing.
