I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons. It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Raflesia on February 28, 2021, 05:06:09 PM For me it is impossible, but I also don't know this is a fact that still holds bitcoin until now.
Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it. But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market.

A lot people does. They are waiting for Monero Bitcoin atomic swaps to kick in at the end of this year. It is gonna be a interesting times to see all those old wallets come to life. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: iamsheikhadil on February 28, 2021, 05:39:36 PM Surely, Satoshi is holding it, and in huge amount haha :D as others pointed it out, people who have been holding it for so long, are really too rich for to disclose their fortune which is nothing but an invitation of crimes against them :) along with that, there are many who are actually holding since early years but have lost their wallets or keys ;D they regret of not taking their investment in Bitcoin seriously back then :D
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Gozie51 on February 28, 2021, 06:29:10 PM I doubt to see who is hodling from beginning up until this time. In 2016 when bitcoin was below $1k, it would have been possible but not this time. They would have sold at least during the 2017 bull run.
Surely, Satoshi is holding it, and in huge amount haha :D as others pointed it out, people who have been holding it for so long, are really too rich for to disclose their fortune which is nothing but an invitation of crimes against them :) Are you saying there are no whales at the moment, hodling large quantity of bitcoin but are secured in their wallet? You only need to secure your coins whether hodling from beginning or currently.

There are many wallets during the early days that are still holding large amount of coins and recently we saw reports that some of the old wallets started moving to new wallets before the halving and it is impossible to identify who are all holding the coins this long without selling. May be Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss are still holding the coins without selling them as they were one of the earlier whales in the market. Roger Ver was another but since he sided with BCH i expect him to sell most of his BTC holdings.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Swordsoffreedom on February 28, 2021, 08:26:34 PM This guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 and maybe some of the early pioneers who left the forum a long time ago. ~ Surely, Satoshi is holding it, and in huge amount. ~ There is no doubt that Satoshi has Huge amount of BTC on his holding, Cause he is the first Genesis block miner. No one can say for sure how much Bitcoin Satoshi has mined by himself. Since Satoshi Nakamoto was the first person to mine Bitcoin, looking at the mined blocks in 2009, it is estimated that Satoshi would have received about 1.1 million Bitcoin as block rewards, cause at that time the Block rewards was 50BTC for each mined block. and surely all of his rewards still remain untouched. I'm not like pioneer but I have been holding some bitcoins since 2017, although there was not much amount then, but now it's turned into a decent amount. I think everyone should buy some Bitcoins and keep them for long term when the price goes down. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Ryker1 on February 28, 2021, 09:40:38 PM [snip] Well, if you are waiting when the price goes down perhaps there is no exact time for that, --buying now and hold until in the next 10 years will perhaps you will see that bitcoin more and more expensive each year passed or even after when there is a halving come and after that, there will be a cooldown of the price which is a good time buy. But the problem is when it is and no one knows.I'm not like pioneer but I have been holding some bitcoins since 2017, although there was not much amount then, but now it's turned into a decent amount. I think everyone should buy some Bitcoins and keep them for long term when the price goes down. If that is regular people who hold bitcoin back then year 2010, it will perhaps already sold it. But if that is a big contributor of bitcoin like Hal Finney, perhaps they stored a huge amount of bitcoin, because as I see, most people are wanted profit. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: CarnagexD on February 28, 2021, 10:57:19 PM With bitcoin being a very big thing today, one may opt to ensure his/her safety first. So there's a high possibility that no one will publicly declare that they were pioneer holders out of their concern for their privacy. And I don't really see the point of telling people that you are a pioneer holder anyway so there's that.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: logfiles on February 28, 2021, 11:46:17 PM Of course there are people who are still holding them. This website (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-dormant_5y-bitcoin-addresses.html) shows top Bitcoin addresses that have been dormant for at least 5 years. This includes addresses from 2010. Obviously, It's hard to distinguish the addresses whose owners could have lost access to those that are still accessible but among them, I believe there are people who are still faithfully holding their coins.

One of this is the creator Satoshi Nakamoto, no one are claiming and posting their wallets that they are one of the pioneer, the temptation to sell at 1000% profit is very high, if there are people besides Nakamoto who is still part of the early holders, it's either they forgot they have it, or forgot their keys or loss it.

Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it. But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market. It's a long waiting game, it's either someone lost and found his wallet after long years. There are cases like this. I remember being active in faucets way back 2012 and I even forgot what faucets and which wallet I have used before, it could've reached a decent amount of money in dollars now. Some are really patient to hold it for several years, and I think that long patience is really worth it. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: zanezane on March 01, 2021, 07:13:42 AM A lot people does. They are waiting for Monero Bitcoin atomic swaps to kick in at the end of this year. It is gonna be a interesting times to see all those old wallets come to life. A lot of people I assume is going to be getting all their investment profits without the worry of being taxed. The prices will surely plummet when this happens, and I am going to be saving some fiat because that will be a golden opportunity to buy more bitcoin.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: electronicash on March 01, 2021, 07:21:28 AM there must be early investors who haven't yet moved their coins since they receive them. there could be a few who lost their private key too hence the reason why their coins are left untouched. lucky are the ones who truly believe in BTC from the beginning and then still have kept his private keys. the ones that are not seriously taking BTC for its price during its time was just $0.08, probably just thought its a casino coin that will disappear eventually. but it didn't. having just 10BTC today could save you from this doomsday lockdown. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: ashmodeus on March 01, 2021, 08:16:09 AM probably yes , but for me, its a kind of impossible, u know when the price going to 100 bucks mostly the early holder has sell it already , since of that time make x 100 or more its a kind of miracle, not like now, which it can come easly by buy a lot of shitcoins.
But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market. its not really very strong i guess, i mean they must be a wealthy people which mean they dont need any extra cash , why they must sold it quickly.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: aoluain on March 01, 2021, 10:13:20 AM There are definitely people who are hodling Bitcoin since 2010 and there are a few who
still have coins but can not access them. The people who have vast amounts of coins since 2010 are not going to broadcast that, If I was one of them I would be keeping a low profile. Hodlers from 2010 have a life changing amount of wealth.

I think there are a lot of people who are holding btc from the beginning. But it is a matter of sorow that i have known about bitcoin after the several years of creation bitcoin. And also I was not enough wise to hold btc from the time I knew about bitcoin.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Mauser on March 01, 2021, 11:02:25 AM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? Unfortunately not, in 2010 I had no idea about bitcoins and probably wouldn't hold them long term. It took a long time for me to get into cryptos and I mostly used my bitcoins back in the days for gambling. Only last year I started to fully go into bitcoins as a long term investment. So yeah I missed out on a lot of profits. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: maxreish on March 01, 2021, 11:09:40 AM For me it is impossible, but I also don't know this is a fact that still holds bitcoin until now. But there are still bitcoin holders from that year that still has bitcoin holdings until now. Those massive pumps of course will attempt them to sell "some" of their bitcoins but if they are true believers that bitcoin will hit huge pump price in the future, then not all of their bitcoin has been sold. Well, we can't tell otherwise they prove it but then I also doubt if they reveal that now. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Johnyz on March 01, 2021, 11:46:27 AM I’ll not reveal myself if I’m holding such amount of Bitcoin because I know, hackers will run after me and my Bitcoin wont be safe anymore. Many early users are still holding their bitcoin because they believe on this technology and they’ll lose nothing here since they are early users who bought or got bitcoin at the very cheap price.

There are some people that have bulk of bitcoin in their old wallet which they have either lost their keys or are present at the moment, some hodlers are patient enough to hodl till they gets more older.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Lucius on March 01, 2021, 03:24:08 PM I know of a case of a forum user who has 40 000 BTC and has already moved them several times, and has been a member of the forum since 2012.
Someone Just Transferred 40000 Bitcoins (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2847576.0) https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1q5shngj24323nsrmxv99st02na6srekfctt30ch?page=1 Here is someone unknown who has been holding coins since 2009 -> Code: "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud. He doesn't have the keys used to sign this message. If this wasn’t Satoshi, I don’t know who else could be ;) Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: wxa7115 on March 01, 2021, 09:41:03 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? Satoshi is definitely one of them, he has not moved his coins and there is no reason to believe he is ever going to move them, since the blockchain is a public ledger we know when was the last time some coins moved and there are many addresses that have had their coins since those days and no movement has presented itself.This either means that those coins are lost or that the owner of those coins does not see any need to move them at all, so I think there are a significant number of people that had their coins since that time, but obviously they do not want to bring attention to themselves and they prefer to not reveal themselves to the world. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: lienfaye on March 01, 2021, 10:05:11 PM I believe there are still early investors who are not selling yet their bitcoin but prefer to not disclose that information for their privacy.
These pioneer investors are seeing btc as a long term asset and similar to satoshi who wants to become anonymous. If only I knew about bitcoin at that time and had gain trust then probably im one of those who believe on btc at an early stage and partying at this point. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Haunebu on March 01, 2021, 11:17:09 PM There are probably a couple of early investors still HODLING since 2010. Such people are mostly rich people who aren't concerned with the ups and downs of BTC. Instead, their goal is to support BTC by HODLING and selling when the price is optimal in their opinion.
They are basically hardcore believers of BTC. Such people usually guard their identities using a plethora of security measures for obvious reasons. They are whales among whales in the cryptocurrency market with the power to manipulate the market whenever they feel it's necessary. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Wawa2013 on March 01, 2021, 11:52:16 PM What I can imagine is that people who still store Bitcoin from early 2010 till today are only the creator of Bitcoin, namely Satoshi Nakamoto.
Because I am sure that early adopters will immediately sell their Bitcoin when they get a large enough profit. And they would not have thought that Bitcoin could reach the price it is today. So it is very unlikely that there will still be someone holding Bitcoin from 2010 until now. Maybe there are early adopters who still keep Bitcoin until now, but because they really can't access their wallets. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: RealMalatesta on March 02, 2021, 09:00:07 AM there are still bitcoin holders from that year that still has bitcoin holdings until now. Those massive pumps of course will attempt them to sell "some" of their bitcoins but if they are true believers that bitcoin will hit huge pump price in the future, then not all of their bitcoin has been sold. Not everyone owns bitcoin because they care about the price of bitcoin, it could be 1000 dollars or 1 million dollars or whatever and they will still not sell it because some people do not invest into bitcoin thinking they will make a profit, their whole situation is not based on price or making profit, that is why they will not make any type of profit at all.Well, we can't tell otherwise they prove it but then I also doubt if they reveal that now. I am not really saying that we should not profit from it, you can, and all those people that bought in 2010 and sold so far did made a profit and that is the big majority of people who did, hell most of them bought in 2010 and sold in 2010 as well, and some sold later and by today almost all of them did, and there are some that didn't because they do not can't reach the money so it is there involuntarily, but there are few people left who do not care what the price is, they invest because they believe in the future of the project and not the price of it.

Let's excuse satoshi on this question since its already given that he holds huge bitcoin since he is the creator of this coin, but for others there's no proof yet that there's anyone holding bitcoin last year 2010 until now since the selling pressure even before is so high that's why provably majority who have bitcoins at that year already sold their bitcoin before or even today, The most common scenario we see right now is new holders which aims bitcoin to reach at $100k or even more triple digit figures in future. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Lucius on March 02, 2021, 10:15:42 AM ...but for others there's no proof yet that there's anyone holding bitcoin last year 2010 until now since the selling pressure even before is so high that's why provably majority who have bitcoins at that year already sold their bitcoin before or even today... Have you read at least a few posts before going to write such nonsense? In my previous post alone, you have over 100 BTC addresses that contain coins from 2009, and there are as many more as you want. Contrary to the opinion of you and others like you who look at Bitcoin only through the prism of profit, those who witnessed the creation, and who made it possible for the project to come to life, were not burdened with the idea of buying cheap and selling for big money. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: 777Jolami on March 02, 2021, 11:38:17 AM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? Probably not, because they will not be able to imagine and I'm sure no one will be able to resist the attractiveness of the value that bitcoin creates. Either that person has too many conditions, or they don't care about the value of bitcoin every year. And if there was someone, it was definitely the biza story that year, they would become billionaires now. Maybe they couldn't survive or they die. :P Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Oasisman on March 02, 2021, 01:00:14 PM ~snip~ Have you read at least a few posts before going to write such nonsense?

Yep and they're the realest of the real Bitcoin enthusiast and supports the technology (unless some those old addresses were forgotten). But I have to agree that not everyone who owns Bitcoin aims for the big profit. Some, are aiming for Bitcoin to become one of the mainstream advance payment system that will co-exist with fiat for a very long period of time. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Rikafip on March 02, 2021, 05:56:57 PM Did bitcoin ever went that low to 1cent? I saw somewhere that its lowest was 10cents. Was that what you wanted to write but mistakenly wrote 1cent? On the part of anyone holding from 2010 till now, that is not possible holding without selling till now. Everyone sells at the point they see they have made enough profit on investment. Buying at less than a dollar and not selking when it got to $1,000 will be a miracle. At one point in the time price was much lower than $0.01. In the reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dkqcx/i_am_theymos_ama/c9ra4p4/) theymos had years ago, he confirmed (and shared screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/WX2en1G.png)) that he sold BTC for insanely low price (1 BTC went for $0.003), but that's how it was back in the day when no one thought that bitcoin will reach these prices.Thanks to those early adopters bitcoin is what it is now. If those early adopters weren't actually using it, chances are majority of us would never heard about bitcoin. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: hatshepsut93 on March 02, 2021, 05:57:50 PM Sometimes really old coins from 2010-2012 get moved and some people start to panic thinking that Satoshi is about to dump his coins. Also, these early hodlers could have moved coins to other addresses in the recent years, for example to update to SegWit. So, for the purposes of blockchain analysis, you should also look for unspent coins directly connected to these ancient coins.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Princejebs on March 02, 2021, 07:44:43 PM Holding of bitcoin in a wallet for a period of 10 years isn't an easy stuff. Again, I think this can only work for crypto, holding alcoins in the same manner can either get you rekt of loose your tokens if you are not current about the project as most them tend to migrate to theirainet because this sgitty Ethereum network.
I'm on a mission to do the same to some altcoins for long term hold, I never can tell the one that may be t] e next bitcoin. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Issa56 on March 02, 2021, 08:21:57 PM There are some people that have been holdong bitcoin for almost 10 years now but I don't think is kind of easy holding bitcoin for years in your wallet after the price of bitcoin pump madly. Bitcoin that worth less than a dollar when you bought it is currently around $45k to $50k and you are still holding and not ready to self I believe that's a massive profit. To be honest I really respect those people that bought bitcoin since 2010 because during that time nobody knows anything about cryptocurrency or bitcoin only few people have the knowledge of cryptocurrency and bitcoin and nobody knows that the future of cryptocurrency as at 2010 nobody knows that bitcoin will be great like this only the legends and the strong minded people bought bitcoin back then. I will have everyone to hold there bitcoin and wait for more pump you can still hold for more years and see how you will be in profit in the next few years.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Rikafip on March 02, 2021, 09:11:45 PM Wow, what a time, and to ever think it has this level of growth in less than 20 years is really encouraging. I would no have believed it could get this far if I was even aware of bitcoin then. No doubt many thought that buying 1000btc for $3 was even throwing money away. But look at it now. Soon 1satoshi will even be worth more than $3. History is a good thing and we learn from the past. Even though bitcoin price will go up way more than it is now, I don't think that we can expect 1 satoshi=$3, at least not in any reasonable time frame. According to current bitcoin price, 1 satoshi equals approximately $0.00048 so for satoshi to reach 1 cent, price bitcoin price has to be $1 million. And then you have to multiply it with 300 to get the number you mentioned, and I think you will agree that number won't be easy to reach in our lifetime, let alone soon.

I guess not, bitcoin price movement is so impressive. Its just need several months to increase tens of percent which you will never find in any investment place. So as, the investor who hold or someone who own bitcoin he will sell bitcon when its price has doubled when he bought bitcoin. Also, the crasshed that has happened 2018 ago will give an imagine that bitcoin is not strong enough to be an investment place. We can't imagine in one year bitcoin was increasing and in the next year bitcoin just dumped a lot. They will thing and they will be careful to see bitcoin price increase, there will be a time its price will be dumped a lot. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Yatsan on March 02, 2021, 11:07:41 PM If there would be anyone who have hold his Bitcoin for that long since 2010 up until now, then it is really pretty impressive for the fact that imagine after more than 10 years all your patience have been paid off. But I doubt there would be someone who have hold for that long for the fact that there are lots of temptations in the market on when to sell just like the 2017 bull run on which maybe some people who have hold their Bitcoins from 2010 have already sell their Bitcoin by that time or maybe there is also a possibility that they have overcome the temptation to make it through until now, then it is good for them then.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: qwertyup23 on March 02, 2021, 11:09:47 PM For me it is impossible, but I also don't know this is a fact that still holds bitcoin until now. Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it. But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market. I do not think that it is impossible but highly unlikely, given that most people who HODL their bitcoin from 2010 have to endure the painstakingly temptation to cash it out when its price doubled/tripled in 2012. Maybe there are still some investors and people from the pioneer batch who still owns bitcoin but they most probably sold half or if not, more than half when its price increased tenfold in the past years. But to be honest, if I were in their position, I would have sold such btc maybe after 1-2 years of owning them. As far as I remember, I do think that satoshi hasn't spent any of his BTCs at this point.

It takes a lot of sacrifices to hold bitcoin since then and only true believer will do that and of course have some spare money for his needs. Bitcoin that time was very cheap and only if we can see Bitcoin on that level again, I’m pretty sure everyone will hold at least that kind of amount. If anyone still have that holdings, I salute you for being strong enough not to sold during peak season.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: bryant.coleman on March 03, 2021, 07:30:14 AM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I first registered to this forum in 2012 and got my first coins during that time. I still have some coins remaining from that stash. That said, I very rarely come across any of the users from 2010, although 2011/12 is more common. Even those users who have registered back then have sold most of their coins at lower levels and only a minority would have kept their coins as such. And just one correction. Back in Q1/Q2 2010, the exchange rate was $0.001, and not $0.01.

Not entirely sure I think there are lots of addresses that have balance unmoved from 2010, although we don't know if the balance is not moving because someone is holding the coins or it is just because no one has control over the coins anymore. Like a lot of people often say they had a bitcoin wallet installed in their computer but because the value wasn't much back then they left some small amounts and the computer isn't with them anymore. In those cases, the coins are just lost and we might think someone is holding them.If someone has actually managed to hold the coins for such a long period though, either they are too rich to consider selling them or they are just too good that they predicted the price will be 50k in the coming 10-11 years.

Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Lucius on March 03, 2021, 11:25:47 AM What a nice active wallet! I wish I had similar one. But 1000% you are not the only one person who follows it. Course, the Secret Service is doing that as well. Think this wallet can belong to one of the first miners or just some lucky person who get BTC and hodl it for many years. I don’t follow that wallet, it’s just a piece of information I remembered when I read the question from OP. I don't see why some secret services would be interested in a particular wallet, as far as I know it's not BTC that has anything to do with something illegal - otherwise those coins would already be marked as tainted. I can’t say where that BTC comes from, it’s possible it’s from mining - or it was bought in the early days when the price was ridiculously low compared to today. Yet even if someone bought 40 000 BTC for just $1 per coin - that was a lot of money 10 years ago - although it very vividly shows us that today 1 BTC is worth more than 40 000 BTC 10 years ago ::) Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: el kaka22 on March 03, 2021, 12:40:43 PM I guess if I bought bitcoin in 2010 and the price moved to over 100 dollars I would have sold all of them already and wouldn't wait to this day. Think about it you bought bitcoin for 1 dollar each, and bought 1000 of them spent 1k dollars in 2010 that would have been an awesome future seeing type of deal and it would be crazy to know what coins would be worth by that time, but if you were brave and crazy enough to spend 1000 dollars on bitcoin in 2010 that means you deserved the profit.
But what we are thinking here is keeping them until it is 50k, I do not think that it will be like that, if it reached 100 dollars that means you would own 100k dollars and who would say no to that? If I bought something for 1k dollars and ended up with even 20k dollars I would probably get out and that is only 20 dollar price, which means waiting for 50k dollars would be impossible for me. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: jasonjm on March 03, 2021, 02:06:56 PM If there would be anyone who have hold his Bitcoin for that long since 2010 up until now, then it is really pretty impressive for the fact that imagine after more than 10 years all your patience have been paid off. But I doubt there would be someone who have hold for that long for the fact that there are lots of temptations in the market on when to sell just like the 2017 bull run on which maybe some people who have hold their Bitcoins from 2010 have already sell their Bitcoin by that time or maybe there is also a possibility that they have overcome the temptation to make it through until now, then it is good for them then. Talking about bitcoin holding for this much amount of time, recently a news came where a bitcoin holder moved his bitcoin from a wallet that was not accessed after 2010. I am imagining the kind of patience the guy have. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-whale-from-2010-moves-100-btc-for-first-time-in-11-years Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: mezzaluna on March 03, 2021, 03:52:22 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I do believe that there are still people who have HODL'ed from that time and still HODLing up to now and all I can say to them is mad respect for having the discipline to not convert/use their saved Bitcoins until now. There were previous news that somebody kept their Bitcoin on a hardware wallet but had a hard time accessing it and that is only one news so we need to imagine every possible situation because somebody must have already done it when it comes to handling Cryptocurrencies. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: bitzizzix on March 03, 2021, 05:12:12 PM If anyone had held bitcoin from 2010 to the present, it would be very impressive and very extraordinary and would be a very wealthy person.
The price of bitcoin in 2010 was less than $ 1 per 1 bitcoin which is very cheap and anyone can buy it even in large quantities, and Bitcoin has been performing very well at the end of 2020 to date and it is inconceivable if anyone had bitcoin in 2010 in large quantity and sold it when it touched the latest ATH yesterday. 10 years is a very long time to invest and there will definitely be so many trials to deal with especially in 2017 for the first time the highest bitcoin price of all time. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Rehan Zakir on March 03, 2021, 05:38:33 PM If anyone is holding bitcoin from 2010, he is the luckiest person now a days. Because in 2010, the price of bitcoin is in cents but now one bitcoin is more than to 50000$. so, it is huge difference. Most of the early holder of bitcoin sell at First time ATH price. There are very few peoples that are have holding bitcoin since 2010.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Flowzer on March 03, 2021, 05:52:10 PM Since many early people bitcoin enthusiast is collecting bitcoin as a hobby and enthusiasm.
I think its possible if someone hold the bitcoin this long by using time capsule and burried the wallet under the soil. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: adzino on March 03, 2021, 09:56:09 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I am sure there are few people out there that are still holding their coins from early 2010 (or maybe had coins, but lost them or forgot about them or maybe even dead :( ). None of them are probably being vocal since they do not want to attracted unwanted attention. Lucky them I would say. Most of them should be millionaires by now I guess.Probably there are few wallets that has been posted publicly that shows that they are holding their coins from 2010 (you still won't be able to know if they are holding or lost it). I am sure its easy (maybe) to track wallets that has been holding coins from 2010? Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: so98nn on March 04, 2021, 04:13:54 AM This guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 and maybe some of the early pioneers who left the forum a long time ago. I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons. It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks. Haha, @Satoshi is good move! But that is the question everyone is looking an answer for! Mr. Satoshi, his existence and his net worth in the bitcoin form. It is still a mystery. Apart from that there are numerous millionaires and billionaires who are holding the bitcoin since then. I am pretty sure there is no one who never sold their bitcoins because whenever bitcoin had amazing liquidity in between they sold the coins at high prices and bought back when crypto was crushing. So that's a simple phenomenon you can't just resist when you are going to get huge money out of it. The only possible person who never sold has to be Satoshi and no one else. Greed is bad stuff! :P Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Sithara007 on March 04, 2021, 06:08:39 AM Holding Bitcoin was not easy in 2010. Online wallets such as Blockchain.info were inexistent, and so was the case with lite wallets. Also, back then the software was very prone to crashes and bugs. Moreover, most of the users were ideologically motivated and never cared much about their coins. A lot of them lost their coins when they formatted their laptops or when they lost the private keys as a result of carelessness.

You have to think that most people sold. Those who bought at $0.10 and multiplied the investment by 10, 50 or 100 probably sold and only a few visionaries kept holding or made partial sales when the price went up without selling everything.

A lot of them lost their coins when they formatted their laptops or when they lost the private keys as a result of carelessness. There were a lot of issue back then which is also the reason why most of the early adopters have not been able to hold unto their coins whether they like or not. If I right, most of the people who have hold and tried to open and bring back their wallets as early as 2015 or 2016 have failed due to various reasons where the common ones are corruption of files and hardware failure. If you think of it, computer hardware and software back then was as good and secured as today. The only people that I believe to get a hold of their coins from before up until now are the community here at bitcointalk that has been active for a long time. I believe, theymos, still have access to his/her coins today. In my country Philippines, someone holds Millions of dollars worth of bitcoin. He was anonymous of course but he shared his picture having his multi-million dollar worth of BTC and he says he holds it from 2013. I'm from Philippines and I haven't heard anything about this.

Yes, it impossible to know the number of people who bought Bitcoin in the year 2010 and still holding till now and none of the people that still keep their holding till now will come fore because it never security advice for every cryptocurrency holder to publicize their investment online or in-person to a stranger.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: josgandosbro on March 05, 2021, 05:59:23 AM This right time to hold the Bitcoin.

Maybe also those who have a direct access upon them do have it still. People who have insiders are capable of hoding still to maximze the highest growth of this asset, we can't conclude if they still holding the same but for sure they are capable of making a winning trade each time they enter the exchange, sell high up to the peak and buy low from the very dip. the very advantage of being part of the team or know someone very close to the all people behind. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: SquallLeonhart on March 05, 2021, 05:18:10 PM I first registered to this forum in 2012 and got my first coins during that time. I still have some coins remaining from that stash. That said, I very rarely come across any of the users from 2010, although 2011/12 is more common. Even those users who have registered back then have sold most of their coins at lower levels and only a minority would have kept their coins as such. And just one correction. Back in Q1/Q2 2010, the exchange rate was $0.001, and not $0.01. Honestly this place wasn't that much known in 2010 at all, it was 2009 I think when it first started right? And satoshi was here until 12th of December on 2010 which means people were capable of talking with him if they were here and got his attention somehow. Long story short I am sure there are plenty of people who came in later and hold it, I came in early 2013 and I do not hold any of that unfortunately but I can say that I have been around enough to remember almost everything and there are some before me but reality is that majority came in later.2010 is just too early, sure there could be some people who did came in after that period, but bitcoin breaking 100+ was the first time it got a super high hype and that's why I believe that is probably the case for people who hold the most coins, it was both cheap and not that long ago like 2010. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Leviathan.007 on March 06, 2021, 05:39:50 AM In my own idea, there are not many people patient enough to hold bitcoins for almost ten years. We do have some old forum members here registered from 2010. Maybe they have some little amount bitcoins left from 2010. Also, there are some wallets with lost private keys and the bitcoins in those wallets are still not touched. Maybe after the owners fund the keys they can use their ancient coins. But, generally, yes. Other than Satoshi himself, there are some a few people holding bitcoins from 2010.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: sniveel on March 06, 2021, 01:36:19 PM Me too also wondering about it but I think, people who holds btc from 2010 until now will hide their identity for security purposes. Imagine the money they will have if they btc that year and they will sell it now. Who knows that bitcoin will hit the price of today back in 2010? Just wow.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: judeafante on March 06, 2021, 01:57:35 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? The very popular holder who until now haven't move or touch his Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto, he is the popular one I don't know if there are others who will come out and announce with proof like wallet address, that he is a holder since 2010 until now, I doubt if there are holders until now, there's a huge possibility that they have already sold it and may have repurchased again.

And also people who have been holding huge amount of BTC for very long time may not hold them in the same wallets forever, they keep swapping to new wallets and also possibly to multiple wallets. Satoshi is definitely doing it right. Unfortunately we don't know if he is still alive or maybe it's a group of people who are sharing it. Imagine if they lost their password for their bitcoins. That would be a huge amount of money lost. In 2010 I had no idea what bitcoins where, it took me another 5 years to get on board.

Some just wanted to keep themselves private and some maybe just forget that they have BTC since the price too low those times. There might be more holders before that already sold their btc during the pump in 2017 since it’s actually already a high profit versus their investments. If there are anyone who still hold that long without trading or using it atleast once except Satoshi probably he/she maybe already forgot that they have btc or that they wanted to keep it at a certain age.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Zeque02 on March 06, 2021, 05:20:10 PM Many of us want a huge amount of return but I don't think anyone here in crypto currency community would take to hold fpr that long period of time. Well, maybe by those rich users here as they have a very firm mindset to extend their patience and to hold for that long time. In some case, it may also vary for case to case basin since most of us needed money just like me, from the start I hold for a couple of months but eventually it suddenly fall and decrease so deep and I can't take that long to wait in which I suddenly withdraw it and focus in different way to earn like a buy and sell for just a short period of time.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: ReiMomo on March 06, 2021, 08:30:51 PM well if you save bitcoins from 2010 when the price was that cheap then you can become rich now especially when the price of bitcoin can reach a price of more than $50k, with this moment I hope you can store more bitcoins than before. keep storing bitcoins until bitcoins are getting hard to get. One thing I remember those members here in the forum back in 2011 were donated 50 bitcoin for their upgrading profile status. I guess, they still manage to hold their bitcoin until now, and maybe theymos has bitcoin too on his wallet. They contributed a lot that they keep holding whatever the struggle that bitcoin faced back then. If you hold bitcoin up to this day since 2010, you will live like a king if you have at least 500 bitcoin in your wallet. But I have doubt that most people are being sold their bitcoin for a good reason. There's nothing to regret.

Those who bought at $0.10 and multiplied the investment by 10, 50 or 100 probably sold and only a few visionaries kept holding or made partial sales when the price went up without selling everything. I think there is an argument to be made that most of those people are still holding their coins, after all if you were holding bitcoin back then either because you mined it or bought it it is fair to say that you thought very highly of bitcoin and you were aware of the technological advancements it brought.So for the most part people that bought bitcoin back then were visionaries, so I doubt many of them sold their coins even after a 100x gain, maybe they sold part of their coins but not all of them as many were probably aware of the statement of satoshi that said that bitcoin will either be worth nothing or a fortune during the next decades and they obviously thought the latter was way more likely. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: verita1 on March 06, 2021, 10:10:36 PM Of course! There should be people who haven't sold their bitcoin since 2010. Like the first bitcoin miners. Although some movements have been seen like this example that is speculated that it is a bitcoin mining whale that has moved 50 bitcoins for the first time on 02/24/21.

Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: tabas on March 06, 2021, 10:28:28 PM There are, they don't want to expose themselves knowing the public that they're holding it.

They monitor those wallets from a long time sleeping and when a sudden transfer happens, they'll report it.

Those who bought at $0.10 and multiplied the investment by 10, 50 or 100 probably sold and only a few visionaries kept holding or made partial sales when the price went up without selling everything. Probably seeing your investment growing 100x could really trigger someone to sell their stash way early. Of course, you can't blame them, they already generated tons of money for them, no need to rub that they shouldn't have waited long at least 2017 to sell to make more money. And probably those who didn't, either lost their access (seeds and private key), forget about it or just a embodied the true definition of HODLer if they still have it since the beginning. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: TheGreatPython on March 12, 2021, 08:22:13 AM I’ll not reveal myself if I’m holding such amount of Bitcoin because I know, hackers will run after me and my Bitcoin wont be safe anymore. Many early users are still holding their bitcoin because they believe on this technology and they’ll lose nothing here since they are early users who bought or got bitcoin at the very cheap price. Honestly speaking, hackers cannot do anything unless you make a mistake. That is the kind of security BTC provides us, without getting tricked into giving away our own private key, the hackers cannot do a damn thing.I believe there are still early investors who are not selling yet their bitcoin but prefer to not disclose that information for their privacy. For sure there must be some but if they haven't sold yet, I don't think they are going to sell it even in the net 5 years unless the value reaches 1 million or something like that.What I can imagine is that people who still store Bitcoin from early 2010 till today are only the creator of Bitcoin, namely Satoshi Nakamoto. Yes, maybe someone found a private key of an address that someone else lost back in 2010 and now they might sell it, otherwise no one would have the patience to just hold for 11 years despite the marketing experiencing terrific bull and horrible bear runs.Because I am sure that early adopters will immediately sell their Bitcoin when they get a large enough profit. And they would not have thought that Bitcoin could reach the price it is today. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: TheNineClub on March 12, 2021, 08:43:56 AM If I am not mistaking, the majority of Bitcoin millionaires (or anyone that made some money from it) came from the waves that started in 2012, the earlier ones are maybe small in number due to things. They keep a low profile so it's hard to figure out the number of them, and second, in those early years not many people thought that this would explode as it did and they used bitcoin as a means to exchange goods and pay for them (as one example is the famous bitcoins for pizza transaction), and they had a completely different perception of what bitcoin is, what it should be used for and what to do with it.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Kong Hey Pakboy on March 12, 2021, 10:17:18 AM I thought OP is the one that was hodling bitcoin way back in 2010. We would know if there is someone who still hodl bitcoin from 2010 because there are some addresses that are sleeping and they might be or might not be lost but we still have hope that they are going to wake up, as far as I know, there won't be a lot of people that is hodling that much bitcoin for almost a decade, a lot of ATH have popped up along the way so the likelihood that they are still hodling is close to zero for me.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: paxmao on March 12, 2021, 10:38:07 AM Yes, if you dig a little bit in the forum you will see some posts that give a hint. The admin of the forum is hodling massively since at least 8 years ago
I've had at least 50% of my net worth in BTC continuously for 8+ years (http://[quote author=theymos link=topic=5315581.msg56302039#msg56302039 date=1612816452). And some posts about creating a new sea based territory. 8 years ago - as stated on his own posts, and many of the people that mingle around the bitcoin sections and usually have Legendary ranks do obviously have stores of bitcoin. I am not going to point out specific user names that have not made their own statements public nor I am keeping a list, but I kind of recognise them when I see the users. You can also tell who does not hold much by looking at those that are doing campaigns and the like that require large number of posts. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: 0t3p0t on March 12, 2021, 12:58:49 PM For me it is impossible, but I also don't know this is a fact that still holds bitcoin until now. Yeah I agree unless the hodler does not need it and prefer to hodl his or her Bitcoins for future purposes. For me there only two reasons they still hodl Bitcoin until this day, One is either they are wealthy enough to sell their coins or they might lose their private keys and still hoping they are going to recover their funds. 😁Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it. But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Ausgewielt on March 13, 2021, 08:47:13 AM I think if someone holding from early 2010 till today then he or she definitely lose chance to get more profit. I personally own bitcoin since few years ago when the price still below $1000 and of course I have following market trend. I always sells my bitcoin when the price is high and buy it again when it price cheaper. But may be there are some people who buy bitcoin and then forget it because they are busy with their activity, I think once they remember it then their live will be change. They wil be rich.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: newwest on March 13, 2021, 09:03:36 AM Personally I do not know anyone who had known bitcoin in 2010 itself or being holding from that point, but sure we will have quite a few who would have just kept and forgotten or just kept holding the bitcoin and now would just be millionaire if they had bought few coins also at that point of time.

It is a rare thing to be honest and kudos to that person if he/she still has been hodling been bitcoin since 2010 without the temptation to sell it during the periods where we saw ATH. Forgotten coins are definitely a possibility but we don't have to worry about something that is already lost.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: HabBear on March 13, 2021, 09:27:33 AM If you were mining in 2010 and didn't lose your keys or get wiped out by Mt Gox (which would have been easy, because they were the easiest/only online wallet option at the time) you have to have some of your coins hanging around.
I can't believe that anyone who was here in 2010 would have sold everything at any of the peaks we've seen. If you were here in 2010 you were mining, which means you likely have 100s or 1000s of coins. It's easy to do well taking some of that off the table when we hit $1000, $10000, or $20000 and leave more in the wallet for the "rainy day" that is 2020-2021. I hope that most people who were involved in 2010 had an honest belief that we could see what we see today. That the vision could become reality. And cheers to those people and their stealth wealth! Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: wack slacker on March 13, 2021, 04:40:09 PM I think it is difficult to ignore the profitability of Bitcoin because it has increased hundreds of thousands of times since 2010.With such a terrible profit, who will be able to hold back their greed not to sell their Bitcoin.l(?!?). I assume a person does not sell their Bitcoin unless they forget their Bitcoin or they have many different Bitcoin addresses and they have contingency calculations for future use. Or maybe someone bought Bitcoin before going to jail and maybe they're in jail waiting for their release to be able to use their bitcoins.

It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks. btw I'm curious about the account; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2 those who are registrants 1 - 10,000 or a little bit more I think own Bitcoin from the very beginning.

I don't think so that there will be someone who is holding bitcoin since year 2010 up to now because on the succeeding years of bitcoin there is a huge pump of it in which the value of bitcoin turns into thousands so there's a huge possibility that the holders on that year 2010 will be able to sell their holdings when the price surge happens and just think about on the ath on the year 2017 at $20,000 there's a huge possibility during that time is that the holders sell all of their holdings because that is the first time the bitcoin soar very high.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Ibrahim60 on March 13, 2021, 08:06:22 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I think there is no one who buy Bitcoin by 0.01 and holding then till now. Every trader or investors sell their coin when its price increase 2x, 3x and highest 10x. No one wants to get risk. Because there is risk Everytime to decrease price. Everybody buy and sell coin when price down and up. Nobody hold any coin 10 years. It's quite impossible to hold 10 years by a man.

You have to think someone is. There are a lot of original wallets with bitcoin that hasn't moved. Is that on old hard drives or someone with iron hands...no one will know unless they move at some point. One would like to hope so but definatepy hard not to sell at these prices now lol. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Restmand on March 14, 2021, 06:37:18 AM I don not think if there are still holding bitcoin since 2010 until now, If there is then maybe that is already a confidential matter to the beholder. This issue is very confidential since having at least 1 BTC can make a person rich. I have 1 BTC last 2015 but I did come into thinking that the value went like this so I decided to sell it since I am in the need of money during those time. Anyway that already have helped me so still okay.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Trinx01 on March 14, 2021, 08:09:07 AM I don't think that there is someone who bought BTC in early 2010 and still holding it until now, that is quite impossible because no one knows that bitcoin could reach $60k right now. No one expects that it would happen so for sure those who bought bitcoin that year have sold their bitcoin when there is a bit of movement with the value of bitcoin.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: MCobian on March 14, 2021, 10:05:14 AM Maybe only people who forget to save their private keys and find them again this year are capable of holding Bitcoin from 2010. Because if a normal
person would have sold their Bitcoin when they were profitable, because the Bitcoin status is still not legalized in many countries. Many people are afraid that Bitcoin will die or its price will fall to zero, if I know the price of Bitcoin can be as high as now, I will definitely be holding Bitcoin from 2010.

Hi.. I know a few friends who are holding coins from 2013. I got my first coins in 2017, when Bitcoin was still not very popular as an investment option. It has been 4 years since I made my first Bitcoin purchase and I have got returns of 60x-65x. Back then I used to regret about not investing in Bitcoin earlier. But now I realize that I was one of the lucky few to make the investment when Bitcoin was still in three digits.

I don't want to talk about my long not spent bitcoin satoshi holding, but I think some of the people around here still keep them without spending them. As many have said, we don't know how many people still hold bitcoin until now that haven't been spent since 2010.

Basing off with those success stories on getting rich with bitcoin then they do sell off on earlier time basis which means they dont able to maximize on the price that we do have today. If there are people whom do able to manage to hold that long then its really an amazing thing that they do able to withstand all the challenges that they had experience on this market its neither intentional or just simply they do forget out that they've been holding some coins wayback.Lucky if they do able to recover it up.

Maybe some few crypto holder are very consistent holding their bitcoin from the start they bought it at 2010 upto now this year 2021 maybe they sell it some of it but not all of the coins they have but mostly that year expect their coins already sell earlier.

One of this is the creator Satoshi Nakamoto, no one are claiming and posting their wallets that they are one of the pioneer, the temptation to sell at 1000% profit is very high, if there are people besides Nakamoto who is still part of the early holders, it's either they forgot they have it, or forgot their keys or loss it. I'm sure that wherever he is, he has lots of Bitcoin holdings and since he's the creator, he knows its capability and potential to strike higher in the future. There were holders who bought BTC last 2010 but sold it last 2017's bull run and we can't blame them because that's already a huge profit. There are also holders who bought in 2010 and still holding it right now. They're lucky enough to get a huge profit but I guess they wouldn't expose themselves publicly.

There are likely many people like that but they are probably not going to answer, the first reason is that they are very rich and they are not going to spend a lot of time in the forums to answer those kind of questions, and the second and probably the most important reason is that if they were to tell you that they had been holding bitcoin since that long then they are putting themselves a target on their backs, there are many scammers in the forum and they are always looking for an opportunity to try to get money and you do not want to attract the attention of those people.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: skarais on March 15, 2021, 11:19:21 AM ~~~ I wouldn't say those who just got into the crypto world and started learning it when bitcoin had reached the ATH were the one who were late. Everyone still has the potential to make a profit through trading and investing. But of course crypto trading and investing is not a get rich quick scheme, here we are never promised big profit but an important warning that we get is the risk we have to accept. If there is, just ignore it and report it because it's a ponzi scheme.But I admit that now a lot of people are returning to crypto because they want their bigger profits to come with the excitement of seeing ATH prices being so high, so this will be one pretty much demand if prices stay above high for long. The people around here kept warning each other to be careful with vague schemes that were potentially dangerous. The security of your account, wallet and all important data must be properly maintained if you don't want to fall victim to hacker. A few days ago I had the opportunity to find someone who still has bitcoin since 2014 and has never spent it. He's still active today and I salute him because all the bitcoin are earned from bounties, signature campaign, and so on. He admit that he is one of the hard bitcoin holder, although the amount is not much, but it is very profitable.

As for me, I just missed this bull run to be honest, I thought it will not come this year and I thought altcoins would also rise, it actually rise but I'm holding altcoins that has no life in this bull run, that was my mistake as I converted by bitcoin to some altcoins that I thought have a potential.

I kind of lived the same thing, back on very early days of bitcoin I apparently had an account at blockchain.com (formerly blockchain.info) and I have gathered as much as 6 bitcoins there, today that would have been life changing amount of money, maybe not retirement money yet, but half of it, but you know what I did? Years later in 2013 I came back and I saw that my coins worth nearly 700 dollars and I have cashed most of it out and gambled with two of them, lost that all as well.Basically I did make free 500 bucks from bitcoin that way, and I assumed that I was one of the luckiest people in the world, how would I know that just 8 years later that would have been 350k+ dollars? That seems unreal, something that I assumed would be small and tiny became huge and moved from under 1k total to over 350k total, that seems as unlikely as it gets for me.

This is often the case for retail buyers like us. The income is often minus so that the investment becomes collateral. I believe that those who still hold it are those who have excess money and are not experiencing economic hardship. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: sapnu on March 31, 2021, 04:00:54 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I think there's a chance that someone with that holdings exists somewhere but for sure they wouldn't reveal their identity for the sake of their safety. Everyone wishes that they could be that person, someone who has the highest faith on bitcoin that managed to believe for a decade without getting shaken from all the doubts and negative views about bitcoin. Maybe there's below 1% of people who owns bitcoin during that time was able to hold it up until now. It sounds impossible actually considering that bitcoin experienced a lot of bull run already, for sure at one point you would be tempted to sell your holdings. If someone actually did it, he's rich as hell right now for sure.Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Matimtim on April 04, 2021, 12:14:09 PM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? Im curious about this, because what the use of bitcoin if they're not going to use it, however if there are a man who still holding bitcoin from that year until now, I think he made a good income in that way, because there's a big changes happen in the price of bitcoin from that time until now and the price of bitcoin is still going better. If they're a man who are still holding his bitcoin and not using it for so long, maybe they have enough money in their real life thus using his bitcoin is not necessary and money has no value for them.

If you think it's good to hold and there a chance to rise to 100k USD it's a big thing but when you can hold this coin? It took 11 years is this the biggest event in your life or regret it no one knows the possible move of the bitcoin market.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on April 04, 2021, 02:30:31 PM I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons. It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks. Yep. If I was a bitcoin hodler from the early days (and had a significant amount), there's no way I'd be advertising that fact here. And I'm not sure how many people were smart enough to hold onto their bitcoin throughout the crazy ups and downs we've seen over the years, but I'd imagine the people who struck it rich no longer have any use for the forum--especially since it's nothing like it was back in 2009-2011, before signature campaigns and bounties destroyed the quality of posts.Some stayed (like TECSHARE, rest in peace) because they continued to do business here and you'll still see some of them around, though I have no idea if any of them still have any of their bitcoin they acquired in the early days, assuming they acquired a significant amount to begin with. Nevertheless I bet you that there are a lot of crypto-wealthy members here who just keep quiet about that fact.

Its really a do or die kind of call where you do really hold up for long term on something that you cant even sure on how it would perform in the future.For those who had able to wait then they are the ones who do really ready on what are the things to happen neither it would dump or not but look at on whats the current condition in the market? Holding this long isnt something that everybody could able to do so.This is why its really amazing for those who do able to do so.

Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: dimonstration on April 04, 2021, 09:28:46 PM Other than Satoshi himself, I do not know anyone who held that much for that long. There's no big reason as to why they had to anyway, since there's no merit to being called stupid in the past. Then again saving bitciin for that long is a very arduous task. But for security and privacy purposes, of course I'd conceal my identity to ensure that I do not get mugged of the streets, or that no one hacks on my computer to possibly steal my bitcoins. No one will exposed themselves having btc that long especially now that it's price is too far from what it is 2010, or maybe those who have it can't still retrieve their btc back then loss wallet or seed, I do hear some news before 2017 pump that some mine btc and forgot their seed since they were not much serious by that time of mining. Those who have btc in 2010 and still hold it without using in any transaction probably just didn't know yet they have btc.

Or some of those who are still holding since 2010 can niether access their wallet because they can't find the p/key, because am finding it hard to understand what will make someone to be a die hard hodler ;D, those people should be awarded for having so much courage. 8) Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: bitzizzix on April 07, 2021, 04:09:30 PM Maybe there is or maybe not, and if there is, I don't think it will be transparent because in my opinion this is personal, especially in large numbers of bitcoins that will be kept secret, maybe because they don't want to take risks, from crime if it is known.
So whoever they are or all of us with different bitcoin holdings will be kept secret, so even if there were, we wouldn't know. and according to the news there are some people who have had a very large amount of bitcoins from 2010 or so but forgot the password.

Everybody thinks that if they bought bitcoin in 2010 they would also be holding today and would be super rich, I have been around longer than most people here, I have been here for a long long time and I have met with people who bought bitcoin under 100 dollars and I have met with some people who bought under even 33 dollars, but I have met one single person who "mined" 10k+ bitcoins for nearly free, on very very early days.Why I said "mined" because he had few computers sitting at home doing nothing so he just mined with them and didn't want to spend money on it. After all these people I met, do you know what's the common thing between them is? They all sold before it was even 10k dollars, they sold at around 1400 dollar peak times mostly, but they sold under 5k for sure. Do they still have some? Most of them have zero, but some of them have about 1% of what they used to have, so I can tell you that even if you bought at 2010, you would have sold already.

I wonder if when quantum computing is implemented it will be possible? however, I don't think that even with quantum algorithms they can access and decipher those codes. Satoshi Nakamoto thought of everything, many discussions have been generated around this, and they have concluded that quantum technology will not be able to decipher them.

I firmly agreeing with your statement mate, for sure there is someone who had been an early adopter of bitcoin that has a strong belief in bitcoin and patiently hodling his token for a quite long time and in fact becoming a millionaire for him is truly rewarding. Good to know for those who have kept their private keys and being able to access their wallets but there are also some other cases that other cannot access their wallets a a number of bitcoin token in their wallets left unaccessible.

Don't just wish, do it, it's not too late to invest and hold, some investors are successful by just constantly buying a small amount of bitcoin until they accumulate a decent amount and they have a good value already based on the current price of bitcoin, and for sure bitcoin will still rise in the long run.

For sure those people who are still holding bitcoins from early 2010 will not declare that they still have lots of bitcoin in their wallet for security measures. It could be a very big amount already once they sell their bitcoins when the market starts to recover again.Satoshi was probably one of them. He was the first person behind bitcoin and he did take advantage of accumulating more bitcoin when the price was still very cheap. But for a middle class person like me, i might be a billionaire by now if i was able to hold bitcoin since 2010 and sell it when the price is surging.

I know a couple of guys who got their first coins in 2011. Right now, they have less coins when compared to me. It is hard to avoid the temptation to sell at least some of your coins, when the correction phases happen very frequently. There is always a fear of Bitcoin plateauing and then gradually going down. This was the case especially in 2015 and 2018, when the exchange rates plummeted by 80%-85%. It is hard even for very experienced users to refrain from panic selling, especially when they hear such rumors.

At least in your case, you got $450 per coin when you sold them. For me, I received just around $220 per coin, when I sold a part of my stash in 2015. I don't have much regret, because I had purchased the coins in 2012, for an average price of $10 per coin. And also, there is no point in holding on to all of your coins. Because you need to sell them at some point and also the new investors may find the prices too unaffordable if no one sells them. In my case, I sold them when the prices were very low. I would have been in a very good position if I held on to all those coins.. but whatever happened just happened and we need to move on.

This website (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-dormant_5y-bitcoin-addresses.html) shows top Bitcoin addresses that have been dormant for at least 5 years. This includes addresses from 2010. Obviously, It's hard to distinguish the addresses whose owners could have lost access to those that are still accessible but among them, I believe there are people who are still faithfully holding their coins. Yes, I also think there are still several people that are still holding them. However, due to privacy and security reasons, they will not disclose their identity in this forum or even in different platforms. You wouldn't want to be targeted by the hackers if it were you, do you? They certainly have plans for long term that's why they are still holding it. Surely, these people know how to plan, play and strategize. Although for sure, there are many people that already sold a portion of their fund during the year 2017 when bitcoin was really bullish. I can't blame them though. After all, we have our own personal reasons why we sell our assets.

Your example should not be included, I mean he is the founder so I am pretty sure that satoshi would hodl on to that bitcoin no matter what. I do agree that someone won't declare that they own a lot of bitcoin because I am pretty sure that there is a lot of people out there that will try to steal that bitcoin out of their hands.I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons. It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: bitzizzix on June 24, 2021, 03:38:34 PM Of course there are people who are still holding them. This website (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-dormant_5y-bitcoin-addresses.html) shows top Bitcoin addresses that have been dormant for at least 5 years. This includes addresses from 2010. Obviously, It's hard to distinguish the addresses whose owners could have lost access to those that are still accessible but among them, I believe there are people who are still faithfully holding their coins. Yes, I also think there are still several people that are still holding them. However, due to privacy and security reasons, they will not disclose their identity in this forum or even in different platforms. You wouldn't want to be targeted by the hackers if it were you, do you? They certainly have plans for long term that's why they are still holding it. Surely, these people know how to plan, play and strategize. Although for sure, there are many people that already sold a portion of their fund during the year 2017 when bitcoin was really bullish. I can't blame them though. After all, we have our own personal reasons why we sell our assets. And with such a low price, anyone can buy it in large quantities and maybe their very strong belief in bitcoin in the next 10 years will be extraordinary, and what happened in 2017 made their optimism even stronger that the bitcoin price will continue to rise. looks like they sold some of their profits in 2017 and the rest remains on hold. ;D Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: gundala on June 24, 2021, 11:53:02 PM This guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 and maybe some of the early pioneers who left the forum a long time ago. Your example should not be included, I mean he is the founder so I am pretty sure that satoshi would hodl on to that bitcoin no matter what.

Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: FairUser on June 25, 2021, 03:38:26 AM I think there will be cases of forgetting, or the people who created them still keep it.
Satoshi is one such person :) , I believe in it. But honestly letting them last for such a long time I don't think it's for the majority and only a few to do this, and it's all conjecture, and we don't know it's happening how. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Rajamuda on June 25, 2021, 06:01:36 AM from the past until now I think it's only a small part, I think more people have sold it and done various other activities in the crypto world instead of holding it, of course it's not just investing or holding back.. there are more and more projects and businesses that are being run that continue to be developed from time to time with bitcoin/crypto.

I really salute people like that. keep a low profile, yes of course to maintain privacy and security. I'm pretty sure there are still early adopters who hold it to this day.or there are also those who have released some of their assets and refilled their bags, that's the cycle. don't see how big the profit is, but look at his persistence as a hodler in dealing with various storms to date. amazing right? Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Btcvilla on June 25, 2021, 07:36:24 AM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering? I'm the class of 2016, I still keep some of my assets, because in 2010 I just graduated from school so I don't have enough capital to invest in bitcoin. But I'm sure to save bitcoin from 2010 is really very difficult, I myself feel 2 years even 5 years is a lot of temptation. But maybe there are still people here who have survived that far .Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: imstillthebest on June 25, 2021, 09:28:27 AM is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?

From 2016, we already experience two bull runs, 1 in 2017, and the other is in 2021 or this year, I'm sure a lot of holders are already tempted to sell because the price has significantly increases. It is a great idea but I would salute those who still hold 100% of their holdings until now as they are the real holder. Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: ILuckyGuyI on June 25, 2021, 10:18:29 AM I wish I was one of those people who have been HODLing a great number of Bitcoins. ;D I would get very rich by now. We all say this actually. If Bitcoin didn't reach these levels, we weren't gonna say something like this. Forget about the past and make a difference in the present. You might say the same thing if you don't know bitcoin starting today and you don't continue your accumulation on it. Everyone is going to be rich with patience and proper understanding in the market as they hold and buy bitcoin. While bitcoin hasn't reached more than the all time high, do what you think is right right now and that is to own a single bitcoin. Actually I care about accumulating BTC so much now. I already bought some and continue to buy more when the price decreases. I'm aware that I will miss the next train if I don't take an action. I just wanted to indicate that I'd be quite rich now if I did it long time ago. ;D Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Zilon on June 25, 2021, 11:54:08 AM This would require a whole lot of dicipline but I guess we must certainly find some one who has actually passed that phase and still has his/her bitcoin till date. Considering how much massive profit it did few months back many would take profits and many might withdraw with the mind of buying more once the price drops back. But holding from 2010 till today still means such investor is still on profit and would have large blocks of Bitcoin in their wallets but I'm also wondering just the way you are if such people actually exist.

Just imagine they are declare it and the thief will come in, it will make trouble for theirself. Besides that, I think many of us still have it in the wallets but can't access it because of the login issue.
Title: Re: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today Post by: Rasa nanas on October 21, 2021, 05:01:44 PM I'm sure there are still people holding bitcoins from 2010 to the present because the wallet owner has lost access to the wallet. in 2010 the price of bitcoin was very cheap and no one expected the next 10 years the price of bitcoin was so high that many people kept the phrase carelessly. even if they keep the phrase well i'm not sure they can hold bitcoins when the bitcoin price hits $1k.
