2. Now I wonder, why do I never witness these happy accidents myself.

3. Silk road merchants that got sentenced for 10 years back in 2011, got out with a nice bonus.

4. Real hustler accepting payments in all currencies.

5. I swear I read somewhere he made like 8mil selling and it helped him out of a rough patch at the time.

6. Imagine buying a 50 Cent album with BTC and regretting it every bull run.

7. If he has forgotten about accepting Bitcoin, he has probably also forgotten about the seed.

   Thanks for the burn Mr. 50.

8. Great article but is it bugging anyone else using the pluralised form of Bitcoin? It’s like saying I went to bed counting lots of sheeps

9. News like this makes me feel stupid for missing out…

10. It’s a shame that this only really happens to people who don’t need the money

11. “Buy and forget” proving to be a fantastic strategy recently

12. I wish I suddenly remembered I had a shit ton of money lying around somewhere

13. Is there any proof to back this up, could be made up or exaggerated

14. ”I don’t know what you heard about me, but you can’t get a Bitcoin out of me…”

27. Man went from 50 cent to 20 million

28. That makes a lot of cents.

29. Didnt he later deny this and people said that he is pretending it never happened due to tax reasons?

30. Get rich or die trying without even trying

31. And they can still get it for a fraction of a single Bitcoin.

32. Go, go, go, go, go, go
    Go shorty, it’s your birthday

33. In 2012 I tried to convince my band to accept bitcoin for cd sales. Two record deals and European tours later they ended up regretting it. I tried.

48. As I said before, if you dig in you’ll find fascinating stores around crypto thru the years!

49. Seems more like 40x than 20x. But hey, we’re gambling in crypto so math doesn’t matter much.
