holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today

[josgandosbro]

This right time to hold the Bitcoin. Now Bitcoin price is increasing day by day. So hold and wait for the more price increase. Bitcoin is any time to up and down. So check the Market price day by day then got more ideas for future investment. So plan to work and investment the Bitcoin..

It is impossible to said that how many people hold bitcoin from early 2010 till today. Noone says that I have still a lot of bitcoin. But I think, those people who are founder and co-founder, they hold their bitcoin still today.

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.

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.

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.

[sniveel]

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.

[judeafante]

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.

[semobo]

Satoshi holding 1 million bitcoins and never moved it since then. 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.

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.

[ReiMomo]

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.

Some of the regulars on the WO thread have been Hodlers for quite some time, I don't know if since 2010 but I sure know of a few who claim to be holding since not too many years later. 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.

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.

[verita1]

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.

Time will show us more events of how bitcoin is consolidated in the nations most interested in technology and cryptocurrencies.

[tabas]

There are, they don't want to expose themselves knowing the public that they're holding it. Just tune in to the news that focuses more with transfers coming from a sleeping address.
They monitor those wallets from a long time sleeping and when a sudden transfer happens, they'll report it.

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.

[TheGreatPython]

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.
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.

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.

[TheNineClub]

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.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

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.

[paxmao]

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.  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.

[0t3p0t]

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.

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. 😁
