How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now?

[taufik123]

Looking at an old thread from 2011 that talked about how many bitcoins they have, it made me think that getting Bitcoin is very easy.
How Many Bitcoins do you own?

Most of them earn from mining, giveaways, faucets and some contests that give away Bitcoin prizes.

I know about Bitcoin and this Forum in 2016 and back then it was quite easy to get 1 BTC just by entering a bounty or contest.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily.


They have 100++ in the past

Enough

I will say that I've got 100 saved away in a tough to access location for a rainy day. Or you know, USD collapse.

Reading this makes me really upset that I sold 112 (all) of my BTC a couple months ago for only $118...

Don't feel bad, I sold 5K for 1500€

Reading this makes me really upset that I sold 112 (all) of my BTC a couple months ago for only $118...

I've only been able to scrounge 10 or so BTC since then via mining... kinda depressing the more I think about it

500 or so. 

165. I'm down to half hashing power though since a card pooped out on me

About 583, after spending some on Namecoins. I guess it's a lot to some people but of course I'm greedy so I wish I had more.

73.51 + whats left on btcguild.com, not much.
I made them all(with pools)..

I can say i am happy with my profit

approx 320. Most in bitbills ;P

And now, How many Bitcoins do you have now or how much have you ever accumulated?

How Many Bitcoins do you own?

That is because bitcoin was still very cheap. In 2011, 1 bitcoin reached $1 for the first time. Granted, that year it rose up to almost $30 which is crazy growth but just compare it to today’s price. Almost at $70k, everyone is holding and not even everyone can easily buy 1 btc.

Most of them earn from mining, giveaways, faucets and some contests that give away Bitcoin prizes.

Bitcoin has proved itself to be a very valuable asset that no one is really willing to give some away anymore. Some people do not even want to reveal that they hold bitcoin for safety purposes.

[mk4]

To be honest it's easy to see riches these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoin they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

But to answer your question: I don't have enough bitcoin; no one does.

[Darker45]

That's an interesting question that nobody would honestly answer.

Anyway, I also came here in 2016. Bitcoin was already showing that its potentials are within reach. Alas, I was still naïve, and suspicious too. I came here when a coin was only worth hundreds. And although it was already widely accepted that it could still rise, that it would reach as high as $10,000 or $20,000 was probably moonshot. Or perhaps I was sorely lacking in foresight.

Had I known, I could have bought tens and kept it until today. But I failed that part. So, I might as well make up for that failure and gather as much as I can today. Nothing's too late. A million per coin is a long shot today. But it's just the same story all over again. Tomorrow, we'll look back to this day and be happy we were given a second chance. Others will not enjoy this passing opportunity.

[blckhawk]

To answer your question in the title and to reiterate and prove what @mk4 just said, I don't have enough bitcoin and I don't think that with the current price of it, I will never have enough because I will be continuously gathering as much bitcoin as I can and it will never reach that coveted one unless I make a lot of money in my other stuff that I work on. This conversations that are so casually talking about hundreds of bitcoin is such a nostalgia and regret to me, I've known about bitcoin and I would've invested in it but I wasn't that interested enough to really try it out and at the end of the day, I can't really blame myself though, I was still in the last leg of elementary education so the money isn't really there anyway.

[un_rank]

Members in that thread were able to answer that question cause that was a long time ago, bitcoin was very low in value and saying you had 10, 100 or a 1000 of it made no difference and did not matter to others or attract any undue attention. Bitcoin was still just a speculation, one they must have been ridiculed for sticking to and they used threads like that as motivation to each other

None of them if asked today will talk transparently about their finance now and no one now would either. Even owning half a bitcoin is enough to attract attention of spammers and worst.

[bitterguy28]

To some it up ? like those answers above as I am not having enough bitcoin now because maybe we are not making it enough unless we become millionaire from bitcoin then that would be a different answer i guess.

but what I wanted to change in the question is "How many Bitcoin have passed our hands" an this will longer the thread because for sure like me? i have seen so much coins that happened i owe in the past and now I lost them all because of misuse and mishandled .

I have still some portion in my holding and praying that I can keep this and will add at least for the next 10 years more.

[Mrbluntzy]

And now, How many Bitcoins do you have now or how much have you ever accumulated?

@taufik123, you are right to say that accumulating 1 Bitcoin was very easy in 2016 and years back before 2016 too but it is not easy right now to even get a half of Bitcoin because of how expensive the coin have become.
From signature campaign, I have accumulate Bitcoin that worth $80+ (0.001244 Bitcoin)and from my personal investment I have invested only a small amount  .

[Kemarit]

Yeah, those who have hundreds of even thousands of BTC are early adopters, but I believed a few of  them really stay in the market up to this point. Maybe when they have doubled their money, they sold it and never come back.

But that is the advantage of being early in the game, not just in Bitcoin but in any other technologies.

As for the question, not sure if everyone here will answer that, for sure we want to remain anonymous and will not tell how much or how big our wallet are.

[pinggoki]

So far, I'm not yet on my goal so I can be comfortable not working for a year in my life but I'm almost getting to that point now so I'm not that rushed or frantic about where to get the money that I'm going to put into bitcoin but I'm consistently invested through DCA so I'm well enough. Really cool to see conversations like that where they're so casual about the price of bitcoin and that 100 is such a normal amount that it's so awesome that you'd wish you were there at that time but then I remember that probably 10 years or more from now, 0.001 would be a crazy number for other people too because bitcoin is expected to go up in the long-term so I'm happy that I'm not too late and that I can still get to the possibility that I'd make a lot of money out of profit from hodling my bitcoin even if the price of one is already in the tens of thousands of dollars.

If we talks about 2016, it was an easy way to accumulate many satoshis. I remember those days as I tried to get Bitcoin from the faucet. That was memorable for me and I am sure that many people who were there that year will have the same experience.

However, as the years go by, it will be difficult to accumulate more Bitcoin. Bitcoin price increase and we must allocates more money to buy Bitcoin. But for those people who already had a good experienced before, they will still buy Bitcoin and hold it.

But I will not tells how many Bitcoin I have until now. That is my secret and only me that will knows for sure. I will still buy more Bitcoin because Bitcoin can helps me to make a big profit in the future.

[bluebit25]

At each moment our chances of owning bitcoins are quite different, and things in the past happened to be the answer to everything easily, I also earned bitcoins very easily before with just the advertising, but I couldn't keep it because at that time there wasn't much awareness of this field and I was more skeptical about bitcoin than I believed it would become a valuable asset in the future.

And that lesson helped me realize the trust that needs to be nurtured, and not regret too much about what happened because it can also come back and advise me to hold on to the bitcoin I have, but in the present and in the future, I really believe in bitcoins and accumulating them from small insignificant.

[Churchillvv]

I have come across discussions like this in several social networks but one thing is common, those who had bitcoin 100+ back 2011 all ended up in regrets, even here in the forum must of this people may not even have any bitcoin at this point. It has now become a big deal to accumulate at least 1BTC even with our convictions about bitcoin.

Personally, I don't know if Not Enough is an accurate word to use in my case but for sure I'm far back in my hodlings. If there is another word that can express that I'm not holding enough I would have preferred to use it because truly I'm broke in bitcoin.

[lizarder]

I know about Bitcoin and this Forum in 2016 and back then it was quite easy to get 1 BTC just by entering a bounty or contest.

Unfortunately we can't repeat that time and now there is no way to collect bitcoins if you don't have money, except by joining sigcam which pays btc and even then there is a fairly limited value.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily. 

Most people must have sold the bitcoins they had at that time and it is very unfortunate because they don't know the long-term prospects which are quite promising. If at that time people easily got bitcoins and still hold them until now, then their wealth is quite high. There is no point in regretting because we never know what the future will be like and our task today is only to try to collect as much as possible.

Maybe no one dares to say how many bitcoins they have because it is in line with anonymous. But for me not too much and maybe trying to keep buying with the existing financial ability. For yourself have you passed 2 or 3 bitcoins now?

[Hazink]

I don't have enough bitcoin; in fact,  what I hold might even be someone's daily spending, and its worth is not even up to what I could be proud of right now.

To be honest it's easy to see riches these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoin they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

Those who were still into bitcoin from that time until now might still be holding, or some might have sold out during the last bull run that took bitcon to $60k+ and above, which was the first time that price was reached.

[taufik123]

Bitcoin has proved itself to be a very valuable asset that no one is really willing to give some away anymore. Some people do not even want to reveal that they hold bitcoin for safety purposes.

Yes it is privacy, I am not forcing to say how much you or anyone else says bitcoin ownership.
But in the past, since I was on the forum, maybe I could get about 10 BTC easily and it kept growing until I finally sold it at ATH 2017.

To be honest, it's easy to see riches, these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoins they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

Most of them had sold it at that time at a price that they thought was quite expensive.
But we also don't know, whether they still keep it or not.
If you learn from Davinci Jeremie who bought Bitcoin below $1 in 2011, just like the old thread posted and sold it in the 2022-2023 period,
he is already a billionaire now. It was the strength of the Diamond Hand.

That's an interesting question that nobody would honestly answer.

I already know that, the title is just a bait to get people to react.
No one will reveal their current Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin is very expensive.
But in the past it has become a common thing because the price is still very cheap.

Had I known, I could have bought tens and kept it until today. But I failed that part.

Almost everyone would say so, and I also assumed to buy Bitcoin when it first came out and hold it for the long term, but believe it or not, most of them won't be able to hold it for the long term unless they forget or actually have a target for a long time.

Unfortunately we can't repeat that time and now there is no way to collect bitcoins if you don't have money, except by joining sigcam which pays btc and even then there is a fairly limited value.

Nothing can go back in time, what can be done now is how you get started and start buying Bitcoin gradually.
Whether you can hold it for the next 10 years or not, this is just an option to start investing in Bitcoin.

Collecting bitcoins from signature campaigns is a pretty good way to go, as long as you still have income other than signatures.


I am aware that no one will answer to Bitcoin ownership, it is privacy and it becomes very vulnerable to being known by the public.
It is also because the price of Bitcoin is expensive and has always reached ATH to date.

That's a great question mate, actually even though we don't hold any bitcoins now and we can't disclose how much we hold now but when we think of the times when we had bitcoins, it makes us wonder where it went because if you add it all up , we can say that we have accumulated bitcoins but since we  used it for something else, it will be just a memory.
Sometimes we even regret that we wish we hadn't used it or we had been smarter in using our holdings but there is nothing we can do because it has happened, maybe it would be better if we just learn from those mistakes and be a better investor when it comes to spending our holdings once we have the opportunity to hold a large amount of coins again.

[TheUltraElite]

Nobody is foolish enough to answer this question honestly.

Those who had collected coins back when bitcoin was in three digits have mostly sold and moved on but only being bitter at their past choices now if they are alive and kicking.

Much of the next generation is contemplating whether the buy or not buy. My take is to keep buying whenever the opportunity strikes and keep increasing that number but dont tell anyone about it.

[tranthidung]

Nobody is foolish enough to answer this question honestly.

We all can answer this question indirectly, not directly on how many bitcoins we have 

Those who had collected coins back when bitcoin was in three digits have mostly sold and moved on but only being bitter at their past choices now if they are alive and kicking.

They either sold their bitcoins at cheap prices, lost their bitcoins by did not make back up, lost back up or other reasons. They possibly were regretful with lost bitcoins by their decisions or mistakes and they changed to be scammers.

Forum have Donators, VIP members turn to scammers and I guess one of reasons is because they were regretful with lost fortune, then wanted to get new fortune through scam efforts.

Much of the next generation is contemplating whether the buy or not buy. My take is to keep buying whenever the opportunity strikes and keep increasing that number but dont tell anyone about it.

Wealth in society change hands from old generations to young generations. This is truth and will remain true with appearance of blockchain technology, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and in future, with more advanced discoveries, innovations, wealth distribution will continue to our generation to future generations.
