Incredible stories of Bitcoin millionaires

[Kakmakr]

The real Bitcoin millionaires will never reveal their true identities for obvious reasons, but it would be cool if one or two of them could write something anonymous and tell the world about their road to success. The mainstream media love stories like this, and it will attract a lot of positive attention. ^smile^

I agree, those bitcoin  millionaires just keep silent  and  focuses more  on their businesses i guess.They wont  exposed themselves in public since  it would be very dangerous for them to scammers or hackers  even though  they are anonymous. I would love to see their success stories  so that i would get inspired somehow. Maybe most of the  bitcoin millionaires re those early adopters.

That is inspiring to us that don't have 1 btc yet 
So we know that maybe someday if we study and work hard enough in crypto we just might make that much so day.. not! 

I think we lost that train, our chance now for getting millionaires is to get on X coin holding a shitload of that, then sell it for bitcoin!  i really dont see any other option!

He got most of his donations when the price was much lower. He was getting always between 1 and 10 BTC so it makes sense he got all that in three years.
His internet site is quite famous if you don't know.

I heard another story about this guy who store 1000BTC in a USB and then lost it.

Just saying LOL about it, hahaha I'm will feeling a die if I losing all of my 1000 BTC just caused by a USB. hahaha, this is very funny sentences. but how they can lose it,caused by USB or another factor? like losing usb for his storage.

You would probably do suicide if you lose 1000 BTC  in your USb its either you lost it  or the usb corrupted/reformat. Then it would be the biggest disaster on your life. Thats why  i dont like storing bitcoin in hardwares because the risk  is still there but in online theres a risk also if you got hacked but its  too hard i guess.

It was 7500 BTC stored in an external hard drive. Read the story:

Not yet but I strongly believe that the movie is yet to begin. We might have next millionaires roaming around this forum, as they have deep belief in this revolutionary technology and these are the people who are going to shape the future of bitcoin (and bitcoin is going to shape our next gen digital economy). I would love to become millionaire with bitcoin but that’s not on the top of my hit list, I want to contribute in this revolutionary concept and I really want to see the better, hassle free, open world where anyone from any corner of the world can transact with anyone from any other corner of the world. This process might produce many millionaires but I am in love with this technology rather than financial part.

521BTC isn't even near $1 Million so I don't get how this is a story of a millionaire. However, that amount received from donation is something in itself.

I know somebody who owns about 15k bitcoins when he started way back 2010 I think? He was one of the pioneer miners and he actually forgot about it and only realized its value last year.

I was looking at https://blockchain.info/address/1Fd8RuZqJNG4v56rPD1v6rgYptwnHeJRWs Stefan Molyneux's bitcoin adress :

Total Received   652.94530317 BTC   

Final Balance   521.24590891 BTC

He accumulated quite a lot of bitcoins through donations, it will eventually buy a lot in a few years and it is incredible. Do you have other stories of people accumulating large amount of bitcoins without investing any fiat ?

still 521.24590891 BTC, although he is not a millionaires, but its a big money on real currency. and actually there are more people that have thousand bitcoin but they never introduce who are they. no one know who own the biggest bitcoins since first launch.

Seems like all the donations to Stefan are really small:

Yes.

But most of the balance were already sent and probably sold.

There are few amounts still coming in continuously to that address and that's still probably the donations that has been said before.

one more great story about bitcoin, thanks op for sharing this information. sometimes i am very amazed and envious of the luck of the people involved with btc. I have to work hard to be able to get big profits from crypto.

well, everyone has their success story, i will look for that too and be the next lucky person

I have a friend, before knowing crypto his life was really difficult. then he focused and learned trading, until finally he managed to buy a house and support his family properly. from zero to heroes.

I'd be surprised if he did not keep at least 10 BTC bc he is a believer. He indeed probably cashed out most of it to sustain his life spending and his work.

As of now, the balance is just about 0.07BTC. Who knows, he may have invested it already to a business or something? With that amount of btc received, for sure, he made a fortune already. And the good thing, is there are still incoming transactions.

[jossiel]

a lot of value from a donation, but what is the purpose of the donation? Personally, it's really a shame the mental nature of a beggar I think

If you search the name of the guy, you'll see what he's up too. He's known for conspiracy theories and there are other things that you'll see if you search for him.

Usually when these people are asking for donation, sometimes it's not really an actual donation but it's going to be used somewhere for funding those things that they do.

This story has been going through all channels for many years now. If you search for „The Bitcoin Family“, there are more stories and many where you can find yourself. One thing is special: The whole family lives it publicly and is not afraid to take risks. Bitcoin bought at $900 to not sell in the 2017/2018 crash...well, I guess somewhat to pay for living expenses. I think there are a few more, but they don't show it to the outside world.

I didn't know the guy, but googling and learning that he's a white supremacist far-right conspiracy theorist honestly doesn't add up to me with 'incredible stories'. It's indeed incredible that a guy like that receives so much money from others, which means that the support of such views is very strong. But it's incredible, not in a good way, as I think people like this harm BTC's reputation a lot, and we should avoid popularizing them. For instance, there's a good charity that accepts BTC donations (and currently has accumulated 42 BTC) which they tend to use on improving access to clean water in the communities that need it by 2025, expecting BTC to rise a lot by then.

[bittraffic]

1250BTC in a total of Stefan's donation, this is an outstanding balance as of today. He didn't accumulate all these thru trading. But does this mean BTC users are often believers of conspiracy theories?

This is very inspiring because I can also do stories of my own to present as conspiracy theories and then ask for donations for more investigations. 
Been watching a lot of influencers like Kim Iversen who can also come up with conspiracy of her own about political conspiracy theory, she should really be using BTC too.

So, it means that probably he started his journey in bitcoin by donations. And used the donations to buy more and more Bitcoins until accumulated that many?
Because it is stated quite a lot and they bought more Bitcoins, I am pretty sure that he is also trading or doing some investment, utilizing the bearish and bullish market era will also give a certain big impact on the amount of BTC that he has.

the story of millionaires who gain their rupiah coffers in bitcoin makes me motivated to do the same thing as what they get, it's not impossible for us to try to be like them, of course this is not easy it requires such a long and tough process, I can only hope that someday they can gain success like what they have achieved so far

The billionaire who made success on bitcoin believes that bitcoin will be very valuable to this day. Since bitcoin was created they started investing and earning now. nothing is done instantly, everything requires a long process and will play your psychology.

For the people mentioned by the OP are people who do fundraising specifically for the homeless and people who really need it. They are not billionaires, they are just ordinary people who invite us to donate some of our bitcoin assets to those in need.
