In 2011, a trader regretted selling 1,700 Bitcoin at $0.30 after it rose to $8. Today, the value of these coins exceeds $153 million.
Through one of the traders, on May 17, 2011, he expressed his regret for selling his Bitcoin holdings after the price of a single coin rose from $0.06 to $8.
The trader posted on his account on platform X, "I wish I had kept the 1,700 Bitcoin I bought at $0.06 instead of selling them at $0.30, especially after the price reached $8."
At that time, the decision seemed reasonable, as the digital currency was still a mysterious experiment, and many could not imagine that it would have a noteworthy future. Selling Bitcoin at five times the purchase price was considered a real success by the standards of that time.
But time rewrote the story. Today, after more than 14 years and with the price of Bitcoin exceeding $90,000, those 1,700 Bitcoin would have surpassed a value of $153.2 million if he had kept them.
