Someone cashed in their Casascius bitcoins back in 2013 when BTC was hovering around $50 per coin. Hard to imagine now, right? That's the kind of decision that keeps people up at night. A single Casascius bitcoin from that era would be worth millions today. It's a stark reminder of how differently things could have played out depending on timing and conviction. Whether it was for actual use or just needed the liquidity at the time, moments like these highlight why hodling becomes such a meme in the crypto space.

well *actually* if you trace the opportunity cost through a proper discounted cash flow model, selling at $50 was probably the rational move given pre-2017 uncertainty. the survivorship bias here is non-trivial – nobody talks about the 99% who hodled bags to zero. but yeah, casascius coins hitting millions is the kind of alpha that keeps me up, not gonna lie

The guy who sold it probably regrets it now, fifty bucks...
