Bitcoin didn't exist in 2002-3, it was released in 2009.
The thread in the OP is way after the hype, hysteria and headlines of 2013 ($10-$1000 BTC, MtGox, Silk Road, etc). Here's a post from 2011:

"If onlys" about crypto don't make any more sense than saying if only you'd picked the right lotto numbers last week, or backed Germany to beat Brazil 7-1 in that World Cup game.
I had bitcoin in early 2013 and bailed out not long after. What's the alternative, wait for it to crash? Wait till it's $10k, $100k? Unless you sell or spend your bitcoin you haven't made anything, you've just lost what you put in.
I never liked Litecoin or ther other ones, but I did have a fondness for Dogecoin, and used to buy it about five or so years ago, when you could get it easily with Paypal, $25 for about 100k. I had about 800k but again, just used it up, because crypto, especially Dogecoin, was stagnant and looked like it was going nowhere, and unless you're a fanatical crypto cultist there are other more interesting things in the world.
The only people who still have bitcoins from a decade ago are people who forgot about them, people who simply had too much to liquidate, or loons who didn't think $10, $100 or $1000 was enough to bail at.
Remember after it collapsed from $1k in 2013 it was around a few hundred dollars for years.
