I think looking for the first versions and wallets of BTC can be hard. You need to do a lot of research and know about Bitcoin's history. Some of the early wallets might have passwords or private keys because security is important in cryptocurrency. But if you don't have specific information about your wallets from back then it might be tough to log into them. And It is too bad that Coinbase can't be used in your state which makes it harder for you to get to your old wallets.

How do we search for the earliest versions and wallets associated with BTC?  We're any of them passcoded or were all of them private 🔑?  If I could find my earlier wallets, I'm sure I could "login" into them.  There is one problem though with this. 

Wallet has its passcodes so to open this wallet you make sure you have still this seed phases, another thing is if you might have like you are saying careful to the people around you saying they will offer a service they can recover your asset.

Coinbase has blocked users in my state.  I didn't spend much time on BTC in the grand scheme of my life. 

Coinbase is an exchange so make sure you are using a platform legal to operate in your country. I guess you are wondering if you make an investment while the BTC is not much known in that time.

I think try checking old computers or backups. Back then, private keys and passcodes were common. If Coinbase is a no-go, explore other wallet options. Just be careful and follow security tips. Hit up in here for more help

I managed to recover some of my old .dat files with MultiBit, It took a long time to sync but all the data was still there.

I felt a bit sick to see how much BTC I was moving around back them!

Some latest versions of Bitcoin Core wallet
https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/

You can find more older wallet versions from topic history of satoshi, the founder of Bitcoin and this forum.

It is very big IF and it does not make sense.

You only can talk about it if you found your old wallets (if you actually have old wallets). Don't buy old wallet files from any source because you will be scammed.

In response to your reply.  When you make assumptions about a person it's best to leave those unspoken or unwritten, because they are exactly just that "assumptions".  Especially if someone is just looking for help.  You're putting way to much thought into it, which can be expected in these forums. LOL I was simply asking if anyone knew if some of the original BTC wallets had login types instead of pass keys. 
The oldest thing that contains BTC wallets that had login types instead of pass keys is Blockchain.com, but it did not exist in 2009 - 2010 in 2011, so why not do an image search for Bitcoin wallets, maybe you will remember the login interface.
What type of data do you have and when was it last modified? Is it account ID and password or what?

But you didn't show anything here, no one has a clue with your old coins. You need to specify if you have a file associated with the wallet, you still have the public address, the device that you used in that time etc.

In addition for recovery service, you can try this one Bitcoin Wallet Recovery Services - for forgotten wallet password.

coinbase.com is not Bitcoin and what you create there is not a bitcoin wallet regardless of what they may call it. You are creating an account with a centralized company that may or may not hold your real bitcoins with them with full control over your money.

With that distinction, what you are describing here is not about "bitcoin wallets" and "logging into bitcoin wallets" you are describing "hacking into a website's database". So the answer to your question is that their database is not public for you access it whether it is wallets added to it today or years ago.

If you have any old wallet.dat file and you forgot the password there are some legit services out there that can help you recover your lost bitcoins for a certain fee or percentage.

Becareful if anyone DM you because it could be a scam. Search this forum for password recovery services and pick someone with good reviews.

days of 2010-2011 there were not really any centralised services. coinbase.com was not a thing back then
at best would have been mtgox, but thats long gone and if you had any coin in it i think its long passed any chance of you joining the the bankruptcy class action group

you would be more likely of had coins left in an old mining pool or your own wallets private key

 However, it would be cool to see if I could actually open a wallet from those days. 2010, 2011 or earlier.

Op i don't think you value what you had or you know what you are even upto, because you said, you're searching for your wallet and at the same time asking for any wallet which is associated to BTC if any one knows!!
I don't think those assets of yours are valuable to you than not even saying the name of the wallet you kept your BTC in or any other coin it an unfavorable condition you had yourself into.
And you are now interested in opening wallets of those days, that has past behind, it really joke you just spoke as if you wanted to have the bitcoin, as of old miners had made.
The future has past let try to create something new, not by thinking i should have done that, it might even not be the time for you. As of the past.

You would've had to keep records yourself. I know I sent myself half way obscure emails during my first interactions with BTC. If you came in that early, you'd likely be looking for a wallet.dat file. If you came in after things moved to the phrases, then you may have just sent yourself something like that.

Otherwise, if you didn't back it up in some way, there's really no other way I can think of to help you.
