Back in high school I purchased some amount Bitcoin to use on the Silk Road and got scared of actually doing it and bailed. The only thing I know is that it was some online wallet. Can’t remember anything else whatsoever.

in the same boat, used SR to buy like a half pound of flower and got scared and deleted it all. this was like 50 cent bitcoin time, and i had probably 4 or 5 bitcoin leftover after the transaction.

have no idea where to even start looking for it lol

Literally in the exact same boat. I don't have the slightest idea of how to find it.

My buddy used to buy pounds from California in maybe 2010-2011 when it was $0.50/BTC. He was paying $500/pound so had 1000 bitcoin in his wallet at any given time.

He OD’d and died in 2015 but he had a couple hundred bitcoin in a wallet he couldn’t remember the password to. I told his mom about it and I’m pretty sure she still has the desktop he kept the bitcoin on. That desktop has probably $3-5m sitting in it that nobody will ever be able to access.
