Topic: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today (Read 1519 times)
I'm sure there are still people holding bitcoins from 2010 to the present because the wallet owner has lost access to the wallet. in 2010 the price of bitcoin was very cheap and no one expected the next 10 years the price of bitcoin was so high that many people kept the phrase carelessly. even if they keep the phrase well i'm not sure they can hold bitcoins when the bitcoin price hits $1k.
Some of us did it, but the are never show up because security reason i guess. Just imagine they are declare it and the thief will come in, it will make trouble for theirself. Besides that, I think many of us still have it in the wallets but can't access it because of the login issue.
is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?
I'm the class of 2016, I still keep some of my assets, because in 2010 I just graduated from school so I don't have enough capital to invest in bitcoin. But I'm sure to save bitcoin from 2010 is really very difficult, I myself feel 2 years even 5 years is a lot of temptation. But maybe there are still people here who have survived that far .the best source to get btc that time is i guess by mining .
we can easily get btc now but prices are not friendly and mining have gotten harder but you are blessed that you enter in 2016 and you havent sold some of your btc . only less people can hold for so long
This would require a whole lot of dicipline but I guess we must certainly find some one who has actually passed that phase and still has his/her bitcoin till date. Considering how much massive profit it did few months back many would take profits and many might withdraw with the mind of buying more once the price drops back. But holding from 2010 till today still means such investor is still on profit and would have large blocks of Bitcoin in their wallets but I'm also wondering just the way you are if such people actually exist.
I wish I was one of those people who have been HODLing a great number of Bitcoins. 
I would get very rich by now. We all say this actually. If Bitcoin didn't reach these levels, we weren't gonna say something like this.
Forget about the past and make a difference in the present. You might say the same thing if you don't know bitcoin starting today and you don't continue your accumulation on it. I would get very rich by now. We all say this actually. If Bitcoin didn't reach these levels, we weren't gonna say something like this.Everyone is going to be rich with patience and proper understanding in the market as they hold and buy bitcoin. While bitcoin hasn't reached more than the all time high, do what you think is right right now and that is to own a single bitcoin.
Actually I care about accumulating BTC so much now. I already bought some and continue to buy more when the price decreases. I'm aware that I will miss the next train if I don't take an action. I just wanted to indicate that I'd be quite rich now if I did it long time ago.
from the past until now I think it's only a small part, I think more people have sold it and done various other activities in the crypto world instead of holding it, of course it's not just investing or holding back.. there are more and more projects and businesses that are being run that continue to be developed from time to time with bitcoin/crypto.
From 2016, we already experience two bull runs, 1 in 2017, and the other is in 2021 or this year, I'm sure a lot of holders are already tempted to sell because the price has significantly increases. It is a great idea but I would salute those who still hold 100% of their holdings until now as they are the real holder. is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?

well, people who really "have" will not carelessly show off what he has. it was sufficient for his personal pleasure, not for public consumption. I really salute people like that. keep a low profile, yes of course to maintain privacy and security. I'm pretty sure there are still early adopters who hold it to this day.or there are also those who have released some of their assets and refilled their bags, that's the cycle.
don't see how big the profit is, but look at his persistence as a hodler in dealing with various storms to date. amazing right?

I think there will be cases of forgetting, or the people who created them still keep it.
Satoshi is one such person
, I believe in it.
But honestly letting them last for such a long time I don't think it's for the majority and only a few to do this, and it's all conjecture, and we don't know it's happening how.

This guy https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3 and maybe some of the early pioneers who left the forum a long time ago.
I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons. It will be an open invitation for hacking and other attacks.
Your example should not be included, I mean he is the founder so I am pretty sure that satoshi would hodl on to that bitcoin no matter what. I do agree that someone won't declare that they own a lot of bitcoin because I am pretty sure that there is a lot of people out there that will try to steal that bitcoin out of their hands.I doubt someone else would publicly declare it now for privacy and security reasons.

Of course there are people who are still holding them. This website shows top Bitcoin addresses that have been dormant for at least 5 years. This includes addresses from 2010. Obviously, It's hard to distinguish the addresses whose owners could have lost access to those that are still accessible but among them, I believe there are people who are still faithfully holding their coins.
Yes, I also think there are still several people that are still holding them. However, due to privacy and security reasons, they will not disclose their identity in this forum or even in different platforms. You wouldn't want to be targeted by the hackers if it were you, do you? They certainly have plans for long term that's why they are still holding it. Surely, these people know how to plan, play and strategize.
Although for sure, there are many people that already sold a portion of their fund during the year 2017 when bitcoin was really bullish. I can't blame them though. After all, we have our own personal reasons why we sell our assets.
And with such a low price, anyone can buy it in large quantities and maybe their very strong belief in bitcoin in the next 10 years will be extraordinary, and what happened in 2017 made their optimism even stronger that the bitcoin price will continue to rise.
looks like they sold some of their profits in 2017 and the rest remains on hold.

11 years hold is a long time, at 1 cent and now around $34k is an amazing thing, I bet it only happens to 1 in 1 million people, first time I bought btc in 2015 for $210 and held almost a year ago selling for $450.
And there were others who have also bought during the earliest and probably have sold when it's worth a buck or two. We'll never really know how massive our investments going to be in the future and this is the reason why HODL until you are satisfied with your profit. 
is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?

just imagine if in 2010 we already have bitcoin and sell it at this time of course we can buy everything
,in 2015 you could say the price of bitcoin is still cheap if we compare the current price

At least in your case, you got $450 per coin when you sold them. For me, I received just around $220 per coin, when I sold a part of my stash in 2015. I don't have much regret, because I had purchased the coins in 2012, for an average price of $10 per coin. And also, there is no point in holding on to all of your coins. Because you need to sell them at some point and also the new investors may find the prices too unaffordable if no one sells them. In my case, I sold them when the prices were very low. I would have been in a very good position if I held on to all those coins.. but whatever happened just happened and we need to move on.

There may be but rarely. Long-term investment is indeed very difficult, especially for a period of 11 years, 5 years, the possibility of a lot of temptation. But I'm sure there are still people here who have invested for a long time. So making their investment now makes him a young retiree thanks to his patience.But not all of them. Some have been very patient to keep holding their coins until it reaches a very high value. Either they are making it for the sake of their retirement in the future or they are just not contented yet with the current price at the moment.
