Yes, I chose the example deliberately :)

I've got a friend who threw out $20M in bitcoin (at today's prices) by mistake. I wonder how often he thinks of that.

I didn't say I didn't make mistakes either :( had ~70 coins when they were $4 each. Made a killing selling off most of them at $12!! (ugh my heart hurts)

To be fair, you locked in a 300% gain, that's pretty good.

I've managed to lose 60% of my networth over the last 5 years. Mistakes were made.
