I just stumbled across this. Rate was about 0.25 then. Translates into 12.500 USD.

OP is either:
- A very happy rich man living on a private island in the Caribbean
- A dead guy (suicide)

50 000 BTC is not enough to live on a private island in the Caribbean.

Familiar with the hyperbole?

OT:

Regarding Locale and Regional numeric formats, I feel that people should write numbers in the format of the language that they are writing in.

If you are writing in English (whether en_US, en_UK or some other variant), fity-thousand should be written as 50,000. If you are writing in German or Dutch, it would be 50.000. I've even seen some spreadsheets from Swiss banks where people would format is as 50`000.

Whatever it is, use the format of the language you are wrting in! That way there will be much less confusion.

He said 50.000 not 50000
Guess that's a typo.

In many European countries, the dot an comma are used the other way around compared to how they are used in English-speaking countries. It's not a typo.

Never new that. That could cause some major headaches.

The early adopter fallacy: how do you know when to sell? If you buy bitcoins at 0.25, it is pretty probably to sell at 5 or maybe 10.

So, probably if OP has managed to buy back then, he could have sold at 2 USD or maybe at 30 USD. Who knows.
