Bitcoin Sold Too Early

$432,243,344.40 In 2011, I sold a web app on eBay for $10k. The buyer paid with 4718 bitcoins, which I immediately converted into USD at $2.12/bitcoin.

A screenshot of a tweet shows Dustin Curtis explaining that he sold a web app for $10,000 in 2011 and immediately converted the 4,718 bitcoins he received into dollars at $2.12 each. The joke is the painful hindsight: those bitcoins would later be worth hundreds of millions, making the early sale and conversion an enormous missed opportunity.
