Tldr: bought bitcoin in 2010 and got lucky sitting on it

I find these story of stories silly but also indicative of the market. We are in a crytpocurrency mania and these read like the "Meet the 25 year old dot com millionaire who bought stock in valinux/webvan/pets.com/etc!" from 1998 that dragged even more nontechnical people into the manic runup then.

All I know is people that I'd never expect to know what bitcoin is are suddenly talking about it. What's that tell you?
