What Will You Do To Recover Bitcoin?

[joinfree]

In 2010, you came across a site that was giving away bitcoins. The site said it was free money so you signed up. You were logging in to figure out how it was money but couldn't. The last time you logged in you had more than 100 bitcoins. Later you forgot about the site until 2017 when a ponzi was advertising Bitcoin. Bitcoin? The name rang a bell and you stated hearing stories. You remembered you must have many bitcoins  somewhere but you can't even remember the name of the site. How would you recover your BTC?

I have also had this same fears sometime back and hence i decided to write out all my account usernames, emails and their respective passwords. I have backed this up in several other books as well and stored them somewhere very safe. You have to go the length and breadth just to keep those funds. I know so many people are cursing their stars as to the number of bitcoins they don't have private keys to.

First and foremost if the website is still in operation, it is very possible that you might not see any Bitcoin in your account if you remember your login details. It is but a waste of time to worry yourself in trying to remember the login details.  And secondly, how can it be possible that a website will give you more than 100 Bitcoin and you will still keep such amount of Bitcoin in that account?? Don't worry yourself and resources to try to retrieve and remember the name of the site, because it might not be working.

I think nothing you can do about it. But you must search on your email, word, cloud store, or any file name that could you used for saving the name of the website. If you cannot find the name with the login and the password, then you cannot do anything except let it go while you regret it. If I were you, I will withdraw all of the 100 bitcoin and save it into my computer, and I will not telling anybody.

You can look with your gmail account which site your are joining and check where you put your 100 btc, but I am not sure your site still active because many hype site never hold more than one year, but if you save your bitcoin on exchange wallet maybe still possible to recovery your bitcoin assets, check with your email and looking gmail received in 2017.

Even if you will recover your account, but i don't think your bitcoins are still there. You might have deposited it in a ponzi website and took all your bitcoins. Next time, make sure to deposit your bitcoins in a hardware wallet so you can still have more chances to regain them.

"Not your keys, not your coins". Unless you (installed a software and) made a wallet and received a private key (or a wallet file) I'd stop dreaming. Most probably that site doesn't exist anymore or has change and would not allow you withdraw.

Exactly!!! Which website will just give 100 bitcoins and make it possible for you to withdraw the bitcoin.  He should waste his time to think about the possibilities of him still having the bitcoin he claims that he had earned in his account on the website. Thanks for enlightening him on the fact that no private key not your coins. People always love to daydream forgetting that some daydreams are not worth dreaming and thinking about.

This is a possible way back before, there are faucets mainly for testing purposes that provide bitcoin in return. They are worth but now, the possibility of giving even a single bitcoin to users for free will not be possible because bitcoin today has a huge value, we can say, the reason why bitcoin is free before is that it is almost not that valuable. If we are to look at cryptos today, there's still cryptos that are free.

So you have nothing to do on this matter at the current situation, If you don't have the private keys then you don't have any authority to recover your Bitcoin, It's a simple thing but it's a look like complicated, I think you have anything to do so. most important thing is that you are not able to remember your site so how could you recover it, so you have to forget those Bitcoin. but one last try you have to do that website still working I think so you have to find your user id and password and if you could log in to your account then you may recover your Bitcoin. If you find then you are about to rich.

What the OP thinks is nothing more than parables and assumptions. We should not bother to explain it if that is not the case.
He did not answer anything about his questions and the conversation would be broader if the OP did not lock the thread or respond to user questions here.

You have to understand the problem first, he says he cant even know the site he is visiting. So the suggestion to reset the password is not the right suggestion in my opinion.

I misunderstood this sentence, I focused on the wrong part.

Later you forgot about the site until 2017

If this is the case, it will be difficult to get btcs back without remembering the site. Look for every inch of your computer.

[MURONDI]

sometimes we forget the name of the site that we never open, I have had the experience of forgetting a site in the past that I once opened, I have a way to remember the site, when you register on a site it's usually required to enter an email, if you still have the email, look for the message in 2010.

[Asmonist]

That's ridicilous! How come you didn't remember the site? Or otherwise the site maybe deleted. Well, I guess there's nothing to regret about it since it was a free coins as you've mentioned. There are no money invested in the first place. Maybe its just regretful to think that you've missed the chance to get it before it disappeared. Anyway, what will be the basis to recover it?

[FrankNoland]

I personally think that it depends on whether the website was legit or not, you should just try remember the name of the website and google it, If you find any results then proceed to recover your account with the email address you registered with. I assume you are referring to faucets, most didn't look legit, I am doubting they will survive from 2010 until now, also doubting chances of you recovering your 100 BTC.

We don't even know if you are talking about the wallet or website  And where did you get that 100 BTC you are claiming.
If it's stored in a wallet then you should have a phrase or private key to recover the funds if you don't have that then there is no way you can recover it unless it's online wallet then you just need to sign in your wallet.

For almost 10 years if that was  from faucet then the website don't give any more rewards that high now and the balance he forget has been use already to send rewards to other that time. If I were him I will send it to personal wallet than website. Better for him to forget about it than regretting for whole of his life , since that 100 btc is a large amount.

[Palider]

You have to remember where you put your bitcoin. But don't expect that you will ever recover or you will still see your massive amount of bitcoin. Because your btc is definitely going to be taken over by the website owner, it's been a long time neglected and no transaction has confirmed that it is still active. And the bad thing is that this website is closed and you will never know who the owner is.

But if it's a custodial wallet and you still know the private key or pharase seed you will definitely be able to recover it.

[jets567]

If you can't remember the site then there is high possibility that you don't know your username and password either so it would be hard to recover it and even if you remember the site name and log-in details there is no guarantee that your Bitcoin is still on that site because probably the site owner itself withdraw all the Bitcoin's.

I would eat lots of almond until I recall the website address and private key to access the Bitcoin. In 2010, Bitcoin worth was just few cents while in 2017 Bitcoin price was too high. I doubt site is still there and so are the Bitcoins.

Actually, there is nothing we can do about the value of bitcoin, we just only need to wait for the bitcoin to rise up again. Because bitcoin is invulnerable in terms of price we cannot change that whatever we want to. We just need patience because that is the best choice we can do, patience to hold your crypto and do not panic sell because it is maybe one of the reasons why the particular crypto is dumping. I heard that bitcoin is gonna pump this coming year, I am believing on that, I hope it will happen soon because we are all here want to earn lots of money like we used to when it reaches twenty thousand dollars(bitcoin).

The scenario that you are presenting is one in which is really difficult to recover your bitcoins, websites appear and disappear from the Internet all the time and if you did not took the time to create your own wallet and to store your private keys in a secure way then it is quite unlikely that you would be able to recover those coins after forgetting about them for seven years, for that kind of money you should try your chances but the odds are not very high.

But even if the scenario is not real it is important because it reminds ourselves that we need to take complete control of our coins because if we don't then something like that could happen and you could lose a fortune that you deserve.
