Blows my mind that just 10 years ago BTC was ~$600. Before that, it was practically pennies. I had over 100 BTC at one point back in 2011-2012 when it was less than $1. We had a sandwich shop in our office park that took BTC as payment, and I’d spend it like it was a casino chip. I sold my remaining 3 BTC when it hit $1500 thinking, “It’ll never go higher than this.”

Ouch! That will always be a painful memory.

100 BTC = $7.1 million - Pre-Tax

Washington state has a 7% Capital Gain tax now on profits over $250K.
