Topic: A painter received $50 worth of bitcoin on June 2013. (Read 889 times)

I guess she's that just thankful and grateful that she's been pursued by that guy to receive bitcoin. Well, even me, if someone has pushed me for something that I have no idea at all and it ended up very well and profitable. I'd be grateful to that person and would do something to his favor in return.

I've watched it many times and calculated based on the information that she has mentioned and it seems really factual at all and I've obliged and believed that the story is true. And not just sort of content creator things just to push for some contents to upload on her channel. As for the follow up about her selling it, maybe she should make a video about what she did then next.

No idea but hopefully she's still holding it or if she sold then hopefully that it was on $60k and up.

We all have no idea but with that experience she's got. I'm sure that she's definitely open to things about bitcoin or if another donator would ask her to receive bitcoin and possibly any other top altcoins.

Yeah, she's totally in luck with how long she has held that bitcoin given to her. And to know that we're aware that many folks were not able to recover their bitcoin from the past, she's one of the few that managed to successfully sell it at ATH.

She's not poor, she's making free paintings to her audiences and then the bitcoiner guy offered her to receive a donation in the form of bitcoin worth $50 = 1 BTC and she obliged and even studied and taught by that guy on how to make a wallet and stuff if it's real money.

We all want to see other people holding bitcoin for so long. While hopefully, we're also applying that desire to ourselves that we should hold until the price of bitcoin exceeds that expectation that we've been waiting for.

Well, too many stories we knew that they've forgotten their private keys or seeds.

She's a woman though. She's been appreciated by that guy because the logo she made was also great then so she deserve it. If we're going to think of it right now and recognize it as a bought painting, well, she just sold it for $39k at the time when that video was uploaded.

I couldn't agree more.
It's true that in investing, be it bitcoin or any other investments, patience is a must and this woman didn't even thought that she's patient enough to look at it back afrer several years has passed.

have mine also and not just one but both of them , they both received some bitcoin for an online Job back in 2014 but since they are being paid in bitcoin they just let it sit to their wallet and as time passes by and bitcoin have a little progress, then they have just ignore this and forget about it till 2017 when the price skyrocketed and interest comes to their mind , but the problem is that  the password or the key? had gone and none of them remembered theirs till now.

But about the OP's story? She's very lucky to keep the funds safe till now .

What A lucky man , If i were to receive at that moment? or if I even knew bitcoin that time? I would offer more paintings in return for Bitcoin 
but like what is being said ? that if it is for you then its you.

50$ in bitcoin 9 years ago is indeed High price now, hope that he kept that bitcoin till the end of 2021 in which surely he made a 4-5 figures by  now.

Same here. except it's Bitcoin. The website which I bought from went defunct (became an adult site later on) but luckily the coins were sent to an external wallet.

Got myself some nice CSGO skin :p

Good for her! I know a friend who unfortunately forgot the password to his wallet from 2013. 

The painter is a woman, and the painting was done for free.

The guy that asked for the paint of a Bitcoin gave her one Bitcoin as a tip, which was worth about $50 at the time.

Like this huge amount of crypto currency was staged on various wallets from 2013.The people from America was lucky enough to had their huge amount of bitcoin in their wallets.This story was interesting,because a poor man who do work for just 50$.With his luck,he had got the money of 65*1000 times of money from it.For this reason people was crazy about the crypto currency as compared to the live gold assets in the box of Steel in your own house.

if he still holds bitcoin he might be lucky for him for holding it, I hope he keeps his bitcoin up to $100k and doesn't rush to sell it because he panicked to see the price drop, enough to not see the market price for the next few years front

I also did that looking for an old wallet that I may have left there a few years ago and I found my money in the form of Dogecoin on mining sites like Eobot which have now closed their mining, but I managed to withdraw my Dogecoin money there from the mining results when the price Dogecoin is high, it is luck

Wow, that's an amazing story. The fact that the painter was still able to recollect that she had held bitcoin and the fact that she was still able to access the account in which she held the bitcoin is really amazing.
She must be really lucky that she got the access to her bitcoin. I just hope that she moved it to a non-custodial wallet because we never know if blockchain.com can be trusted with that amount.

I call her lucky because she still keeps the bitcoins until the price reaches $39k. It changed her life into someone with a lot of money and she can use that money to improve her life. I wonder if she still uses bitcoin and makes it her investment or has even sold her bitcoins to look for another type of investment. I didn't find any videos explaining her using bitcoins or keeping some satoshi for long term investments. But she is indeed a very lucky woman whom we rarely see.

This is a turnaround story, though then it wasn't easy and i believe after receiving such payment she saved her login details properly, looking at 2013 till date about 9 years ago not everyone who could do this or possible being active with their phrase or keys and she maintain having 1btc till date, do you think she sold already or still holding?

Well, at first I thought it was all bullshit.. because the price looked wrong for the period... but I guess I was wrong... it could be factually correct. The Bitcoin price was around $13.28 at the beginning of the year and then it went up quickly to $30 in the first quarter of the year and it ended at about $100 at the end of the year. 

I guess she would have pissed her panties if she sold those bitcoins when the price was at a ATH of $60 000+ a while ago. If she was clever.... she will wait until the price reach a new ATH.... and sell then. 

The painter's case is one of the few exceptional cases we've seen about accidental Bitcoin hodlers who profited. There are cases of those who lost their wallets or couldn't remember where they kept their seedphrases or PKey and as such lost every access to their wealth. However, why would the painter still want to locate the man who sent her the Bitcoin is what doesn't make sense to me. She ought to silently and quietly bask in the euphoria of her new found wealth and not expose herself.

I know him and also followed him on his YouTube channel but I've just found that video of it too late. He's one of those that have been doing things on his own of promoting bitcoin but most likely only a few listened to his advices. Just like what he has been telling before, if people will do the same thing as what they've done before, there's still space that they can make money on it in the future.

Well, she's indebted to that guy because he insisted that she has to learn about the basics of accepting bitcoin since he's appreciating his artworks and even asked to make a bitcoin logo. It's going to be a different story if she has forgotten his login credentials for her account that contains bitcoin.

I guess that after or before posting the video, she's got some enough knowledge already on how to keep it properly and how to avoid hackers that might randomly approach her about the bitcoin she has received years ago.

We're unnoticingly doing the same thing by just simply holding although we don't intend to forget it. :p

There could be some other guys that have been doing the same thing as davincij and the same experience that hasn't been published yet just as Ali's.

I've seen the story of the painter who unexpected have a bitcoin on his coinbase account before since as far as I remember it was shared here in this forum. But this story of DavinciJ15 is pretty new to me, What a move he did back then. Imagine if someone did his advise, I'm sure that he will treasure davincij15 advise for his whole life. I just saw the youtube shorts and I think above $100,000 is a good speculation since the community is hungry to reach that price point.

Epic story op. The painter was rewarded in the best way possible though she should be careful with the amount if she is still HODLING it since she is easy prey for hackers who lurk around in the darkness here and there.

Many BTC HODLERS earned big money by completely forgetting about their initial investment in this manner. Lucky people!

The happy part of this story is that the said painter still remembers that someone once sends her $50 worth of bitcoin in her blockchain account around 2013.

In life, every little thing given to us by someone as an appreciation for our good deeds should be valued and kept safe no matter how small it is. Had it been the painter didn't remember her blockchain account password, that would have been a terrible ordeal that she will live not to forget in life.

This is supposed to serve as a lesson, that every little thing we accumulate in crypto, will someday surprise us in price when we didn't expect

It would be good for people to understand that Bitcoin is not just an investment with which you want to make a profit, but also that it is about something much more valuable than few people even understand or want to accept. Investment is not a bad thing, but from time to time Bitcoin should be used as a currency, which was its primary purpose.

As time goes on and the price of BTC gets higher, the players in this game will start to change, the small fish will soon cease to be relevant, and the big fish will dominate the entire market. Money will be earned, but those who already have too much money will profit the most.

Interestingly enough, this is like DavinciJ15 the YouTuber who literally begged people to buy bitcoin at $1. Well, that is not bad since even as of now, bitcoin is still in the nascent stages considering its market cap. If you think 5 years into the future, you will realize that there is plenty of money to be made in Bitcoin. Invest now.

Yeah, that web wallet has got a lot of issues and bugs but it seems that she has held it there and had no problems as she has probably kept the credentials or saved it on the web and that PC or laptop of hers is still helpful when she has gained access on it.

It proves that the little investment that one can do right now can be big someday but yeah, it will take a lot of time and patience.

I agree, little recognition for that guy as one of the early adopters and didn't even want an exposure to her video. I guess that we know why she didn't want to be part of the video for safety purposes and he might be a millionaire now. That guy was patient to her and has spread his wealth to her.

Not too late and newbies that have think that bitcoin is expensive as of this moment, they can look at such story and majority of us when we saw bitcoin's price for the first time, we have probably said the same thing on how expensive it was.

Very likely that she's into it and saw that the $50 worth of bitcoin becomes a hundred or two or more then she have probably sold it and regretting it at the present that she has sold it years ago. But good thing the story for her is different and amazing.
