Back in 2009 or early 2010 maybe I remember seeing that some seller also took bitcoin. I had absolutely no idea what it was. I was curious so I signed up for an account. I did not trust it but someone gave me one of those prepaid visa cards for Christmas or something. It was almost all spent but I was trying to just use it up. So I may of put just several dollars in this bitcoin account. I do not believe I ended up spending it. Years later I totally forgot about it.
Then in the news I hear how this bitcoin is really growing and that it had gone up like by a 100 times. On an old computer I found a text file with my login. It had a username and password. When I went to various bitcoin sites I saw they took an email (not just a username). Then the note I saw in my text file said "mybitcoin" and I realized that might be the specific site. Unfortunately wiki page said it was hacked or something in 2011 and shutdown. I do not remember getting an email bout it from mybitcoin, so I assume the half of the money not stolen was all returned and gone forever.
I am certain this money is gone forever. I know absolutely nothing about bitcoin now and am not expecting a solution here. But out of curiosity, what would 5 dollars of bitcoin in 2009 be worth today?
