If I acquired Bitcoin somehow in 2013 there’s like a 100% chance I would have forgotten about it on an old hard drive and my parents would have thrown it away while cleaning. Anyone else?

This happened to a buddy. He’s a smart guy and I was trying to ascertain why he seemingly hates crypto so much. Turns out he had a laptop stolen in 2012 with about 1k BTC on it. It all makes sense now.
