True story...
At the office in 2010 I was running 2-3 multi-processor PC's for "Folding at Home" which is the whole "Fight Cancer using unused CPU power"...
One of the members of the @FAH team suggested switching out one of your machines to run the Bitcoin client. So I opened a Mt. Gox account and mined Bitcoin for a month or two... mined a few hundred coins. Got bored with it and went back to DC.
Never thought about it again until maybe mid 2014 when it reached around $500/coin.
After lots of research, found out my coins were lost by Mt. Gox in a major scandal at the time.
Learned a lot... much later... like always store your BTC in a physical (hardware) wallet.
Probably $13-15M at today's prices...
