It turned out, it was one the best painting job she did. It's also a good thing she still can access her blockchain.com account. People who didn't mind thier account since the early days forgot about it and recovering is difficult.

$50/BTC is the price of BTC in 2013. That's how fast the price had climbed to 2017. Waiting for 2025, she could get more than $60K.

We called it the miracle of bitcoin!

i have once surprised myself by seeing my bittrex account had a balance worth $1,200 when the price of bitcoin hit the all time high in 2020 at $28,000 per bitcoin , that was a little amount of money back in when i opened the account at bittrex and left some bitcoins there it's just worth around $70 as well , i'm excited as hell to try to remember another wallet i left with some coins back in 2014 lol.

Well, for an amazing investment like bitcoin, miracles are not that highly surprising. Good thing that painter never lost her access to her bitcoin, that she patiently saved her bitcoin private keys and now it’s going to bring her a big reward. Kudos to the one who donated or payed it in exchange for the painting, that man certainly knows that bitcoin has huge potentials to reach a very high price.

And yet, there are people who have invested by actually buying Bitcoin and they have "abandoned" their Bitcoins by losing/ forgetting their private keys or deleting wallets carelessly. It's a good thing to keep stuff saved, you might never know when you will need it like the painter did. Also always good to see that people were accepting or trying Bitcoin way back in 2013, she deserved the surprise.

The fact that they abandoned their investments, simply means that they are not expecting from it and keeping would only be a waste of time or money. Well, the case with the painter is quite different. She received and keep her bitcoin for a long time, without any intention to sell it or throw it away, and now she’s very surprised that her bitcoin value had gone so far. She could have made more profits than that if she have remembered bitcoin that time when bitcoin surprised us with a very significant amount way back 2017.

Yeah, at least she has done some research first on Bitcoin before she accepted it as payment and then save the private keys somewhere and the good thing is that she was not hack or something if she has written it in the PC that she has been using for the last 10 years. Or probably buy a new hardware but then back up everything. In a sense she is technical savvy I would say and that save her the problems of other people who have a lot of bitcoin before but they don't know how to save it. And with that, she has a happy ending.

I think she’s just lucky that she never forget the password to his account, otherwise she won’t have an access anymore about his bitcoin investment. Well, the good thing is, she never doubted bitcoin in the first place and just keep it the whole time, and the time she remembered it, the price made her more surprised. This kind of story has always been in the forum, and it’s just so inspiring that those who never expected huge profits in the first place are now reaping a very good amount of profits with bitcoin.

And someone has emailed her to make a bitcoin painting and the requestor has convinced her to receive his donation in the form of bitcoin. While this woman has no idea of what bitcoin is and is convinced, she just held it until last year and since we knew what was up with last year, she has checked that bitcoin wallet of hers which seems on a blockchain.com account.

This is just one of the stories of success in relation to bitcoin holding. Like, this woman has no idea of what she's about to receive as a donation. Still, after reading the explanation and being educated just through the email, she's in and held it unintentionally for several years which has blown her during the bull run and it could have gone up to $69k if she has held up to that point and sold. I have no idea what's with that bitcoin she holds now if she still has it through the bear market or sold it on high.

This is very nice, we call this kind of blessing "Miracle Blessing". That is why when we are doing something we should do with the whole of our heart, so that the day when you will be blessed, you will go home with smiling. Charity is always from the heart. After the heart then home. That is charity begins at home. She has the heart of giving that was why she was doing free painting works. Not everybody can do what she was doing.
But I have a question. If she was not familiar with bitcoin, and yet the donator sent the $50 worth of BTC, how? because at that stage she was very stranged of the coin. Did the man (donator) open a wallet for her?
That is, she was not even aware when the the fund was sent to her. I really did not get that bolded part of the story. She did not know what was bitcoin and received it. How? who open the wallet for her?

Definitely, the painting that will definitely bring a lot of big changes in her life. Maybe there’s always a good reward if you tend to forget your investment for a long time and just remember it and start reaping only at the present time. Well, good thing if you are into long term hodling for bitcoin, because if that woman received another coin just like altcoin, then maybe it’s value would have dropped more and might even ne considered useless these days.

This only is an example of contentment and been patient. She didn't no anything about bitcoin before and she decided to collect it. She didn't mining anything bitcoin and she had got one. I congratulate her for been patient.

Not really that patient but pretty much sure that she had just recently know or been aware on whats the current price of bitcoin and remembered that she had earned something back in the past.

If you do earn $50 worth back on the day then it would be most likely forgotten if you do have other source or payment method was sent into you and with these minimal amounts on that time
for some people wont really give that kind of importance and just simply forget it.

Now, the time has come where bitcoins price is really valuable then you would definitely be coming back and trying to look for those coins.

There are many 'if' words to say about her story, she was a very lucky person to receive this much bitcoin once she received the bitcoins she could never imagine the price of bitcoin because even the most greedy people will sell the money they got for free when they get a good chance, so we cannot blame someone for selling the bitcoins that this price, however, if she could hold the bitcoin for years and years she could get much more profits over the free bitcoins she received by an accident.

This is really amazing that how $50 turned into really big amount for her after couple of years which she had completely forget about.This shows that how much profitable bitcoin is for the early investors and happy to see that she met the person also in Vegas to thank him and making her life better with that amount.Now if she had sold or even do it now she would make lot of money so believe in the power of btc and your luck.

This video was uploaded in early 2021. It was an exciting story and I want to share it here.

This is another way of showing how early investors or believers received their part of cake from their investments , though this sounds like not really a trust but an opportunity and experimental? yet that said painter is a double digit richer now .

and maybe as she continues to see the future? then keeping the said bitcoin will bring Her more confident as the price will continue to progress if she will look deeper to what is bitcoin all about and how this works for betterment of the system and the market.

This is good news and more so for the painter but this might not have necessarily been so if she probably understood Bitcoin from back then in relation to your early adopter's beliefs. Just take a look at the market and how quickly people dump their hodling any time there is negative price action in the market. A good number of early adopters most have also sold the hodlings long before now cos as we know, she didn't even remember she had it but it is a good reminder that HODLin is KEY with BITCOIN.

Wow! Great story! Good thing that she is not into cryptocurrency thing or she might withdraw it earlier like most people into investing. I believe blockchain.com offers accounts but under their custody. Many exchanges and email providers are now gone. And she did manage to keep her email and password for nearly a decade. That bitcoin was really meant for her and she deserves it.

I started purchasing bitcoin when it was at 3 digits price but I sold most of them when it reached 4 digits. So now, I am back on the drawing board.

I would consider this another "windfall" story where luck and time are working together to make the lady painter gained a lot...with just $50 worth of Bitcoin many years or in 2013. That year will always be remembered by this woman for the lifetime. Well, that is life...many times we are surprised to see and hear myriad of amazing stories - including of course with those related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. I guess we should be applying for any available painting jobs these days and make sure to be receiving crypto as payment - and yes I am just joking.

Good thing she still remember that she has Bitcoin and didnt forget the keys to access her wallet.

Another success story of holding Bitcoin for years, from 2 digits value now it's worth 5 digits. She's lucky and thanks to the person who gave it to her

Probably the sender didnt also expect the value of Bitcoin that she gave to the painter to reach this high. I wonder if the sender still own some Bitcoin from the time she paid the painter, and if she also managed to hold up to now.

quite an interesting story

how lucky were the people who bought or owned bitcoins at that time,
but now it's never too late
there is still opportunity and hope.

and luckily the painter didn't lose or throw the bitcoins away,
because basically things or things that are not too important sometimes like to forget.

While everyone seems to be focused on the receiving part, I think the hero of the story really is the person who requested a free painting of Bitcoin, gave a $50 worth of tip for it in Bitcoin, and went through all the trouble of educating the painter on how to receive Bitcoin and what it was, etc.

That's a great person.

If the person who educated her to have a wallet and receive the tip haven't done anything and gone same as other audience of her, this could've never been a news. The credit goes to the sender and if she had taken it seriously she could've opened it long back. Now she might've understood the real value of bitcoin and it is good that she met him in person for the goodness he have done to her.

Very surprised she waited this long, and didn't think about the wallet before now.

Bitcoin millionaires are to those people who had just;

1. Remembered their wallet that they do own bitcoin
2. Hold no matter what
3. Find out those lost keys

It is really that hard to make yourself holding for a decade and watching market conditions specially
if you do own bitcoin and other altcoin.You cant really make yourself sure that you wouldnt
be selling out those coins along the way.

I don't know if the painter actually held his bitcoin or if he didn't realize that their value has gone up over the years. He missed ATH 2017 and he also missed ATH 2021, so I'm not sure how that happened to him actually profiting from his bitcoin that were originally worth $50.

I imagine how lucky are the early adopters who are willing to endure years of price volatility, they deserve the title of golden hand and of course they will really enjoy life now. The returns are fair to those who have considered the risk high, they are totally worth it. As of now, I don't have 1 bitcoin in my storage wallet yet, but I will try to have at least 1 by the middle of next year.

Lucky painter lol. Curious if she handled Bitcoin properly or has no issue with the Blockchain wallet. We have seen a lot of allegations against Blockchain lately. However, this story would inspire others who are wondering to enter Bitcoin. Once a time a small bag would lead become rich. But obviously, need enough patience.

Yeah, kind of surprising that she's able to wait for several years until she remembers that she's received bitcoin from a donator. And then from the tiny value it's got before which is two digits and then she's made it into 5 digits.

Moral of the stories is leave your coins on exchanges since it's much easier to retrieve your old account, if you leave your coins on hardware wallet and you forget your seeds, it's done /jk.

And yes, that's a joke as well

Well, we can pass that on her as she really looks completely have no idea what she's doing and good thing that when she's remembered that she's got bitcoin, blockchain.info before, just changed its domain into .com and unlike the other wallet providers, they're gone.
Lucky she was.

Quote from: Franctoshi on October 10, 2022, 10:27:40 PM

I would say this was a lucky situation for her , because actually she didn't have much information about Bitcoin and the assest she was paid with, and secondly to have even remembered her keys, however a lesson from this is patient, if she had sold out the Bitcoin the moment she received it she wouldn't have had this opportunity in her life time.

This same thing is applicable to some people that owns Bitcoin today that are not well informed about Bitcoin , if they holdl BTC this same thing could happen to them if Bitcoin price goes above $100k-$1M per Bitcoin in the future. Generally, holding BTC requires patient.

Yeah, like those generous people that owns bitcoin and sends their family, relatives and friends with like $5-$50 or higher amount in bitcoin then just kept it for a long time. Who knows but I'm sure that there can be the same story like hers in the nearest future.
