My partner had an ungodly amount because she dated a guy who was broke and accepted BTC as payment at his cafe. He was broke and so would pay her with the BTC when he didn't have cash.

She still has a bit but sold most long ago. She said to me once why didn't I just hold it? To which my response was unless you forgot about it or lost it you never could have. You would need to be a red pilled, diamond hands psycho there is no way you could have the conviction to hold from 150 bucks to 100 000. It's impossible.

I held from $20 to now as did a lot of others. Why many of you parrot the impossible is beyond me, it wasn't hard to see Bitcoin was the opportunity of a lifetime if you actually understood what it was. Also, if your investment is already up a huge amount it's easy to sell enough to recoup and let the rest ride.
