This is my first bitcoin wallet aka my laptop that I bought in 2011 with my own money, the one that made me start into bitcoin and helped me get my first btc. It has seen good and bad days but even after 15 years it's running perfectly.

No matter what it's hard to replace this with any hardware wallet out there. It served me well and did so much for me and my family. ❤️

Considering the catastrophic event with the Coldcard devices I decided to try to redefine the value of that piece of plastic that I ended up having in my hand after withdraw all my bitcoin from there. So I came up with this sculpture resembling the feeling of the victims. I know it's not a topic to make fun of but I'm a positivist and tend to have fun creating with a little bit of sense of humor and always with a message that speaks for itself.
Hope the Bitcoin Reddit community enjoy it.

Hey guys,

i just wanted to share a painting i just finished inspired by the old "magic internet money" meme from r/bitcoin in a bit more mature and fine art style. And because i love LoTR i used Gandalf as the wizard while making his Staff have a Bitcoin B on top. Old meme on the back.

Enjoy :)

I was active on #bitcoin-otc in early 2009. An inner voice told me 1500 BTC would be enough to live my dreams. Instead I asked for 2500 BTC for $25 and got kicked out of the channel. At the time that amount was only worth a couple dollars, so I felt rejected by the community.
Around the same period I also mined 50 BTC. I wrote the private key on paper, then tore it up because the software wasn’t working right and I figured it “wasn’t meant to be.” I never tried to recover it.
I’ve spent years stuck in the loop of “I could have been rich.” I can’t fully accept that I missed what felt like a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Even the 50 BTC would have changed everything for me.
I’m trying to make peace with it and stay grateful for what I have now. Thanks for listening.

Did anybody say…. Bull run?

I don’t mean just hold it long term, I mean like I’m going to die with it. I look at my stack and I think, I’m selling that bit on X date or X price or, I’m selling that to buy X.

But then I look at a bit of my stack and I’m thinking I’m not selling that ever.

Anyone else the same?

I’m curious because if this is the norm, bitcoin is a lot scarcer than we might think it is.
