There were some offers where you signed up for a site and they send you a small amount of BTCs. I still have my wallet.dat file with a fractional amount of BTCs. I was looking to purchase a 100 or so coins just because I thought it was such a cool system. And then the wallet application was just awful with no help section and I was too lazy to go to their wiki site to find more info. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just went back to data from Aug 2010-Dec 2010 on MtGox. BTCs were selling for around 1-8 cents a piece. Imagine the return... The guys who got in early on can retire right now. Although, I'm sure something bad will happen in the next few months and prices will be down to under $5 in no time. If prices go down to the lows of 2010, I'm in for 100,000 BTCs. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
