I remember that in 2015, the U.S. held an auction of coins confiscated from Silk Road. Back then, they auctioned off 50,000 bitcoins, each selling for about $270. The entire auction brought in around $13.5 million for the government. Sounds pretty good, but here’s the funny part — if those same coins were auctioned today, they would be worth nearly $4 billion. Over eleven years, the value of each coin has increased more than 290 times. This became the most profitable auction in history, even if it wasn’t repeated. Just hold onto your coins long enough, and the money will find you.
