I have 500 lost Bitcoin - need help

[Reid]

Obviously, this guy could've been looking for that lost Bitcoin years ago, i.e. $20k per Bitcoin 2017-2018 and not now.
I wouldn't even share it anymore and would just try to remember the password or even pay for a bruteforce application just to solve it.
Best case would be rent a techie and do everything inside my house or within my surveillance. Give him the proper reward if he does the job smoothly so that he won't come back after you.
But why did you wait this far? Because it is not real. But I still appreciate the story. Try writing a book.

Nothing more and nothing less than 500 whole Bitcoins :O

Independently on whether you are telling the truth or not, if that is the case you should focus all your time and efforts for a while in solving the problem. I don't think you have any other business where you can get such amount of money (to retire more than a few times) in exchange of your, let's say, a few days'/week's work.

I'm afraid that I can't help you with the technical part of your problem, but I hope you recover your bitcoins soon.

That's crazy though, and honestly speaking I was started to believe that story and begin to compute the value of 490 Bitcoins with today price, what a damn but thanks to the fast action of the fellow forum users and they found out that the story is just a hoax, it is like a classic strategy to "earn merit" imagine the author is willing to share $12million worth of Bitcoin that's crazy, question, in reality, is there any person or people willing to share that huge amount of money by just helping to recover something, I doubt it.

Whether you're speaking true or not I figured out I could at least pinpoint you to websites that were around that time period and that allowed you to buy BTC (besides the well known Mt.Gox):

• New Liberty Standard - Was up and running around October 2009[1]. From what I could gather the same user was the one that first proposed the symbol for BTC[2]. While the WayBackMachine shows a "Sign In" button at the main page[3] I don't think that the exchange was made in a way that you could buy BTC on demand (like Coinbase for example). According to this other archived page[4] you would have to send an e-mail stating how much BTC you wanted and then whoever was running the service would sent it to you. You don't mention this kind of system so I assume this wasn't the website you've used.
  While investigating your inquiry I also found out that one of the earliest BTC transactions (5,050 BTC - sold for $5,02 at the time) was made by Martti Malmi[5] as a way to help this service get started[6] - This is what amazes me regarding BTC and it's history - whenever I have to go in these kind of "investigations" I always find fascinating details / events around them that show that the initial adopters really believed in what they were creating / doing.
• Bitcoinmarket.com - Initially the idea came from dwdollar[7] at January 15th (2010) and then the website was up in March 17th of that same year[8]. WayBackMachine also shows a "Sign In" button at the main page[9] and perhaps this was the service you've used? It seems like this exchange was a bit more developed and you might be able to get your BTC there?

Sadly, if these were one of your options you won't be able to access them as the websites are now offline. Both users also seem to have been away from their accounts for a while now (NewLibertyStandard last login was at December 5th 2012 while dwdollar was at January 15th 2019).

Your post is like a joke  

By the way, Were you partner of Bill Gates? coz of 10 year ago 1 bitcoin price was $60 Which is 30 thousand dollars compared to the amount of your 500 Bitcoin. Why did you leave so many dollars on a unknown website. Why didn't you remember about those bitcoins for so many days?  where in 2017 bitcoin was make a hype on the crypto industry. And the price of 1 bitcoin was over 20 thousand dollars.

You haven't said that yet Where did you deposit the bitcoins? Then how will people understand if he can recover your bitcoin

Anyway give you an honest wit : If you have really lost 500 bitcoins, you should contact the government of your country and they can help you recover your bitcoin with the help of the biggest cyber experts. if they can successfully recover your btc. You can Donate 50% for your country  development. it will better for you and your country too coz 500 bitcoin price is a huge number of usd that is 30 Million usd.

Hello everyone
About 10 years ago, I bought 500 bitcoins, of which I used only 10, meaning that 490 bitcoins remained.
Of course, I know what they are today
I bought them because I ordered green in Darkent for those who know (where they only paid in Bitcoin at the time), it was that there was no more telegram and I was a soldier at the time.

The problem is that I do not remember what my password was to the site where I deposited the bitcoins and also do not remember what the password of the email
If there is anyone here who understands computers I would be happy to help me.
Whoever helps me will receive 200 bitcoins from me ($ 12 million)

This platform might has closed and your coins might have already being lost. When working on crypto market it is very important to put down all your key phrases and passwords as there is no support where you can apply to return access to your wallet or account so you are the only responsible for your money, so please be very careful.

Trolling post!
Same as others, I believe OP just trolling here. Because if OP's story were true then his first post should be about lost Bitcoin. On the other hand, he hadn't shared from where he bought and where stored as well. Who know if this is a scam attempt like old scam methods. Previously we have seen asking security to hand over wallet credentials.

Anyway, I am not gonna feed OP either for merit or recover funds.

I have encountered such cases several times, and the results are always unpleasant, I think this is a fact, for email password recovery is certainly not difficult, providing valid data even coming to the email provider's office is easy, but I'm not sure that the website when you bitcoin deposit is still active because i lost about $200 from Xapo wallet which is now a scam.

Apart from being a fake story, still, it never ceases to amaze me how people believe that websites which hold BTC will somehow protect your coin. Any crypto deposited on any website is prone to being stolen because you have zero access to your private keys, let alone some darkweb site that probably doesn't even exist anymore. Perhaps it's ignorance on how crypto works or just navete but crypto stored online through a 3rd party is not your crypto, it's someone else's crypto that they say is yours, which can change at any moment.
