It doesn't sound, though, like you'd have held until 100k. This calculation only applies to people who'd have held for some reason; e.g. just after the conversation, you slipped into a coma and you just woke up now.

But I usually hear it from people who "could've bought at $2 but didn't!"

If you didn't buy at $2, you wouldn't have held at $4. If you didn't buy at $300, you wouldn't have held at $600. Etc.

Me neither fwiw :)
