Mined a Bitcoin in college.

Pretty much the same. Bought some Bitcoin in high school in the early 10's. It was just a novelty and I was a kid, so I didn't buy much, but if someone was kidnapped or something it would be worth it to go through my old drives.

BTC recently got approved to be traded as an ETF by the SEC, so now's a good time to find that drive cause the price is only going to go up over the next 5+ years.

Yeah, I'm not going to get rid of any. I was doing everything on thumb drives at the time, though, so it would be a bitch to actually try and find the exact one I used.

Of course, the value of the things will go to 0 whenever Q-day happens, and hopefully sooner when people realise it's a badly designed cryptocurrency. Maybe I should dig the old wallet up just to move things to an alt coin.
