How?

When I was toying with Bitcoin when it was $0.05, a hard disk crash lost me some. How would you recover it?

We’re all asking ourselves that question aren’t we?!

Seriously. I cry every time I think of my exploded 2013 MacBook Pro. Who knows what it could've been worth today.

I was aware of and experimenting with bitcoin really really early. I never got too into it though but I’m certain I generated coins really early.

This is probably what the kid that lost his Babe Ruth baseball card feels like.

You can't recover the private key but you can still check the balance if you got the wallet address somewhere in chat logs ;)
