Homeland Security seized a bunch but I have a few left.
Sorry for that loss.
I guess the whole incident did more damage to you than just the forfeiture tho.
It was a disgusting (and revealing) episode by anyone's standards...

I would like to know how much bitcoin you have as highest amount till now.
I used to have 0.60BTC on around 2 month ago. Which is the highest amount i have.
just have .006BTC for now,its just some stock for top up my mobile phone,and i can't remember how much bitcoin i have,i'm not sure.I used to have 0.60BTC on around 2 month ago. Which is the highest amount i have.
if i can ask you,how you get that 0.60BTC ?are gambler or trader?
A few year ago i bought 20 BTC for 15 $ each coin. I spent them on different thing like hardware etc. when the price was about 40 $. And i selled 10 BTC while the prica was above 150 $. I was really happy about this win but when you see that the price goes above 1000 $ just a few week later you get a bit thoughtful. Now i only own ~1 BTC 
God no I wish I did. I still hold some coins and still buy them. But I cashed out my last heap when the hit like $1200. Spent most of it on booze, holidays and women. The rest I squandered!

your still lucky. spending those coins living a happy life than others that got scammed and got hacked
I know I've sold over BTC450. I think at one point I had BTC125 in a single wallet. But that was only worth about $900 at the time!
do you still have that amount of btc? if so then you are a wealthy gentlemen. since 21million btc is not enough to 7billion people when mass adoption happen

the max bitcoins that i owned in my wallet was 0.032 btc, now i only have 0.005 btc i think thats enough to keep in long term. coz i hope someday that 1 satoshi will valued 1 cent.
Maximum amount i hold at a time ever is just ~0.2 Because, i'll spend it and i cannot hold for a long time as i've more needs
of course you cannot continue to holdbut if you could. spend some of the money and hold/save the majority will be better
The maximum in total is 2BTC, which i bought through bitcoin exchanges.
At one point I had over 10,000 BTC in my BCS&T account. Do I get some sort of prize?
Are you the one who pay for the pizza?
No, he is the one that got arrested by the US authorities, unfortunately!

Soo you may be the new healthy people that bitcoin has changed a life,but well there is just some people with such ammount ,but i believe you sold the most and now smiling with the easy money made with bitcoin.I may say you had the vision and well you lucky enought to have some part of those atleast or having fun with the fiat you earned with them.
Mate I suggest that you read once again at least some parts of the thread that I left! He wasn't that lucky whatsoever even though he had about 10,000 BTCs at the certain moment of the time!
Then I recovered some by trading BTC on various exchanges. I managed to avoid losing any in the collapse of Mt. Gox. I did move a small amount of my trading onto localbitcoins.com just for fun and to meet other people interested in Bitcoins.
Due to my trading activity on localbitcoins.com I was investigated by Homeland Security for 18 months. At the end of 18 months of so called "investigation" the agent assigned to my case still did not know what my business did (electrical engineering, easy to just use Google) or had not discovered that my wife is in fact an attorney (also very easy to find out). Not much of an investigator.
They did several undercover operations where they bought and sold Bitcoins from me at various coffee shops and recorded the transactions on video. They spent a lot of money on the investigation and the undercover operations and found nothing having to do with what they were looking for: drugs and/or money laundering.
Because they had spent so much money already they then decided to arrest me anyway for the only thing they could dream up: "operating a business without a license" - which caries a five year prison sentence if you are convicted. They threw me in solitary confinement to try and break me, seized all my computers, seized all the Bitcoins and cash they found in my home at my corporate office and even at my client's offices.
After 9 months of negotiations with my attorney they dropped all the charges but only after I was forced to "donate" $40,000 in cash and $40,000 in Bitcoins to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund.
The whole fiasco cost me almost $300,000 in attorney fees, forfeiture, lost work, lost clients, replacement computers, etc.
I still have some BTC but I am having to use them to pay off the debt (loans from friends and family and credit cards, second mortgage on the house, etc.)

So, yes, Bitcoin has changed my life. I would never have gotten to experience Federal prison without them.
Well this is why bitcoin isnt more popular because governments acts against it since the boom,when it were worthing pennies no one cary about it then they act against it,what a story sorry for the jail because be a honest person with some lucky.
I have had in the hundreds at one point in time. I bought when they were low and then sold when I doubled my money. I wish I would have kept them, for I would have a lot more now!!
If I recall correctly I had 160BTC in my wallet somewhere in 2012. I remember I sold most of them at $40. Think about back then Bitcoin hasn't used by a lot of people. Now everybody know Bitcoin, even if they don't use.
Sucks for the pizza guy.
How can someone live after making a mistake like that, lol.
Without the pizza guy, maybe Bitcoin never became what it is today?
Nice comeback lol,
You never know, if so the world owes the pizza guy Bitcoin

I used to have about 3 BTC. After a little gambling that number is lower (by more than i'd like to admit 
). But I am on my way to making it back w/ investments and trickle purchasing.
Goal is to get to 10 BTC by the end of next year. Which I realistically can do unless that price shoots up. Plan on buying around .5 a month which should get me to 6 and then hopefully with investments (and maybe winning that money back from gambling) I can get close

Maximum amount i had so far was little over 1000 btc, but needless to say, it was when bitcoin was worth just a few bucks, and with time, those
coins ended up either getting traded or used to purchase. Right now my goal is to get back at least 21 btc, to keep for longterm.
cheers
