Searching for bitcoin bought in 2009 - any idea what the bank statement reference would be on my bank statement anyone?

Yes....I think you should be able to find it on your bank statement if you biught it then with your debit card or any other means through your account.  The record should be there for you to see.

Are you trying to find out on which exchange/service you left your bitcoins in? If so, take a look at this link if any of these exchanges are familiar to you. Because if they're in this list, you're most probably screwed.

there were no exchanges in 2009

if anything you probably bought bitcoin from an individual so you just have to check with your bank on a 2009 statemnt for a wiretransfr with someone you dont know

And what about ether in 2009? any idea how this would have been purchased or the reference

OP needs to remember from where he bought his bitcoin (a marketplace, a forum,...) and/or how he bought it. Bank transfer, Paypal or any other payment processor. But if he is sure he used a bank transfer he will need to check his bank history report for a period. By eliminating the transfer you know about will save some time.


You're dumb. Ethereum didn't exist in 2009. It was created in 2012 or 2013

Sorry i meant in 2015

I'm wondering why this information is of value to you.

Even if you find out who sent you the coins, the best they could provide you is the public address.

All that will do is show you the coins had been sent there. You can't use it to recover the wallet or the coins.

im just trying to find the email with the reference to either my nemonic or wallet and am looking through my emails, any idea what the ether ico came from or subject line?

as in how were early ether sent and stored etc if anyone knows.
