I remember seeing difficulty jump 1 million on one difficulty change and I thought that was crazy. LOL
It would have given you about $60 a Bitcoin or $10 a day.
Its interesting that in April 2013 Bitcoins hit $266 USD for a very short period. The good old days!
The big question is - did you keep those Bitcoins?
I kept a few. Bought some ASICMiner with a few.
I've been accumulating as much as I can.
I only sold 1.5 Bitcoins off when it got over $1200.
I bought 12 more when they were below $500.
So, yes - I have them in one form or another.
My god when I bought 12 at $430 on Coinbase after the Gox fiasco I thought for sure they were going to cancel my order. To see it go through felt so nice. I was like "I just did a service to Bitcoin, and the Crypto-Gods rewarded me!" hhahah.
Why would coinbase cancel the order?
The only time I've heard of coinbase canceling someones order, it was because they bought near the top of the $1200 bubble/spike, and their coins were stuck clearing for a few days while the price tanked. Which was actually an awesome thing to do!
