Cheers, past me
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I was clearing away some junk today and found an old USB hard drive, on which were some .txts each with a random string of words. I was confused, until I realised <em>holy shit, these are seed phrases</em>! I dabbled in crypto in 2016/2017 and for one reason or another life got in the way and it just fell down my list of priorities. </p> <p>Well, after recovering these wallets I'm far from rich - probably pennies compared to what a lot of people here have - but at least me and partner don't need to worry about the bills this month, which is amazing. Could I hodl them for another X years and see even bigger gains? Sure, probably. But cashing it out has tangible and immediate benefits for two relatively low income people in the era of covid, so I don't feel too bad about it currently.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/candleofthewild"> /u/candleofthewild </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/m0jt5t/cheers_past_me/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/m0jt5t/cheers_past_me/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
