Bitcoin has become the gift that keeps on giving for me. I got in way early… sub $10… and when it first soared to a $grand I leveraged out eight ounces of gold… basically for free. I had about 11 BTC in ‘leftover change’.
I thought I had lost it when the disastrous apple upgrade to OS 10.10 crashed everything and required a wipe of my hard drive a year or two back. I thought I had a BTC wallet backup on a thumb drive, but couldn’t find it.
Well, packing for moving is when you find everything! I just found the BTC wallet thumb drive. With BTC now at $667 I just ‘found’ about $6 grand! 🙂
And it’s still trending up, as the Chinese are getting into it in ever bigger ways. Clif says it will explode upward along with silver very shortly.
So I just got another backup drive and will have to install and run Bitcoin core and wallet, and endure the downloading and processing of about 80GB of blockchain transactions to get this all restarted. It may take several days of computer time, running in background.
Heh heh… I can finance an antenna tower and some solar PV panels for the ranch. Thank you, bitcoin!
