Buy the ticket. Take the ride.
Hunter S. Thompson
I generally have a lottery ticket that's current. It's entertainment for me. I figure out what I'm going to do with each of the prizes (somebody has to take second place :)) and when. Then next week I do it again. Believe me, I know the odds precisely.
We make the best decisions we can. With the information we have at the time. Win or lose.
I think a huge fraction of the current large BTC stashes were actually people that bought in way low and forgot they had them when whatever illicit reason was for buying in the first place. Some time later they realized they still had the wallet and keys and, well, a star is born.
I wonder if any of them did a bit in prison for dope smuggling and couldn't sell what they had if they wanted to. Now that's dumb luck.
So I don't know how to tell you this. Canned dog food is WAY too expensive. Beans and weenies is the answer. Seriously.
This is part of the attraction - it is setting up the space for dreaming.

From what I have heard, the US gov is one of the biggest hodlers.
They always end up selling the whole mess, which depresses the price for a time. Once the case that caused seizure is finished they sell. Without mercy or forethought :)
They had a nice big pile out of the Mt. Gox deal. They are probably getting some of that back for the second time :)
