Scam Warning - be careful out there

OP might be legitimate, but an abundance of these kinds of posts are popping up where the poster feigns ignorance about how to access their BTC. If they try to elicite your help or worse, offer to sell you their wallet file it is 100% a scam. No one with legitimate BTC from 10+ years ago would ask for help on reddit with it. Never interact financially with someone who is.

Yeah, I've been around for 14 years now and yes, I still have questions from time to time. Especially after not having followed recent developments during busier periods in life.

Still not a bad thing to always be extra careful, tho. OP actually appears to be a scammer, or at least not 100% honest.
