I, too, mined some bitcoins when it first appeared. My computer at the time was housed in a case of plywood that I'd made. I wonder if my crappy computer from over 20 years ago has at least a Bitcoin in it? Well, time for qat now. Will dig it out later.
1900s grandfather: I buried a sack of gold coins in my backyard.
2000s grandfather: The computer that I used to mine bitcoin is probably in the pile of junk inside the garage.

It's funny because it's true: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55658942
Maybe "true" isn't the best word to use. There are too many stories like this for them all to be true. Great story though.

LMAO. I have about 150 Bitcoins sitting on an old hard drive at the bottom of the local dump. I guess someone would try to dig them up if it ever hits a million, but doubtful they could recover them much less unlock them.
