Hi guys long story short I have got 2 bitcoins somewhere on exchange platform and I can't remember which one...
I bought them back in 2014 and then it was difficult to buy them, as far as I know there were only two platforms which  wore selling them. one of them virwox aand there was other one that I can't remember. Please give me a few platforms if you know any who wore running exchange in 2014
Thank you

I think Mt Gox might have been big around 2014. There was also coinbase if I'm remembering correctly. BTC-E was another exchange. Both Mt Gox and BTC-E are dead now although I've heard claims that BTC-E accounts have been reimbursed to a fraction of their account value.

There are lots of platforms around then that are still around today.

How did you pay? If it was bank transfer that'll throw up very different options compared to Paypal or a card.

There were lots of exchanges available in 2014. Some are defunct at this point. It might help if you can answer a couple questions. What country do/did you reside in? And do you remember the payment method -- ACH, bank wire, Paypal?

Virwox was always pretty obscure. The most prominent exchanges at that time for BTCUSD markets were MT Gox (defunct early 2014), Bitstamp, Bitfinex, BTC-E (defunct mid-2017). If you had money on BTC-E, they did relaunch as WEX.nz and repaid 55-60% of customer funds. However, if you haven't logged into your account in three years, you're going to have a lot of trouble accessing those funds.

The best chance you got is to search through your emails from 2014 to see which exchanges you have registered with.  Look through them and then log into all the accounts and check your balances.  Hopefully your bitcoins are still in an exchange that is still around today.  Request for a new password if you forgot your login information. 

Yup your email is the only way. If you cant search with the keyword bitcoin, then scroll back to 2014 and manually check your emails, remember 2btc is a huge money.

I also think its the bast way to check your mail adress, you can also check your bank account and maybe figure out the real money transaction you made back in 2014. The descriprion of the bank transaction may include the name of the exhance platform.

See if any of these (https://bitcoin.org/en/exchanges) names ring a bell. Maybe the exchange you bought on is listed here.

poloniex was around then. Check your email. They all required email back then. Coinbase was pretty much the only entry point US people trusted. I would guess Coinbase has them.

Where were people taking credit cards for BTC in 2014. I don't remember that.

you can chack out your email. 
for god sake probably you can find it. which exchange you used for buying. 
2014 its not much old days but hard to say which exchange.

Search your emails you uses back year 2014. Hopefully the registered mail you received after your registration is still there. Goodluck

When you signed up to these exchanges platform you should have received some email confirmation. Check there and hopr you can find it!

you can go here: https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/
click on "Symbol" dropbox and select different exchanges. set the time period to "All Data" to see when they start. this is a mostly reliable way to figure out which exchanges were around back in 2014 and the list is nearly complete.

for example if you choose BTCC you can see it has been around from 2016ish https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/btccUSD#tgSzm1g10zm2g25zv
but Mt Gox has been around from 2010ish https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#tgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

the best you can do is checking your email, i mean all of your email because maybe it was slip on one of your email so you can not found. i think in 2014, there is many exchanges is online but not many exchanges like today. don't forget when you search in your email, use the search function to make your searching going to go fast and smooth and i hope you can found the right exchanges and the best is you can login into your account and you can get your bitcoin back.

Now and then every buy/sell you made is verified with email link. Try to find it somewhere, even if you delete one from good or yahoo or outlook you will have it in trash. If you using some other mail that is attach to your service internet that you pay ask from then lis of all your email from 2014, they have to have this.

Dont think that you will have luck if you dont know what email address was used.

There are many platform on here.So If need any help to see here.there are many exchange site to help you for treading.

hmmmm so, you have bitcoins in the exchange but you didn't remember that what exchange did you put your bitcoins? i guess check to your email inbox and search the sign-up verification emails that you received and also check the google if the exchange is closed like mt. gox

It is true. Platform is very much, but hard to find the one that is most suitable for us. How many people have this opinion so I think you should try yourself and decide on the best one.
