Ask HN: Has anyone made a lot of money ($100k+) from Bitcoin?

How long ago did you start? Why didn't you sell out at any of the countless "surely it can't go higher?!" peaks along the way? Tell us your story!

In early-mid June 2011, I bought $11,000 (USD) worth of BTC from a guy nearby. It was $7 at the time.<p>It kept going up and going up. When it hit $35 I got scared and put an order in to sell it all at $30. It dropped back down, it all sold, and I stayed out of it after that.<p>I sure wish I had held on to all of it!
