There isn’t a way in hell that someone could hold on to the entire of there btc from origin (2009) up to this moment without selling a part or all off it. Especially when it got from a few cents to a dollar. Forum users at that time celebrated this break through in a thread called 'Parity party'. It was a noted event then and as such, many bitcoin owners would see to taking out somme profits its expected. Even now, a lot of persons are still selling off at ATH even with the fact that, its only a matter of time before another high is being created. Its kindof the same thing with then.

We never know, some people just really trust the future of bitcoin and they have big targets, I'll be happy if someone hold this long from the early stage but it's also right to at least sell a small stash just to enjoy the profit because it's not called profit unless you cash it out.

If I'm in OP's position, I might have not done it successfully, maybe during the 2017-2018 bull run, I might have sold a big portion of it, or even everything I have and then just try to accumulate again.

For many documentaries released about people who become rich for holding bitcoin over the years theb we can say that there are people who really believe the future, but we can also see people who just lucky ro forget about their holdings and been surprise that they have hidden wealth with their forgotten stored bitcoins so thia indicates that we can still do the same since bitcoins have brighter more furure and maybe in next decade we can see more of it and the price will reach at 6 digit so best to act to see a good result in future.

That is absolutely true, I always wish to be in that situation, even if not bitcoin, an altcoins with a huge value now and that could change my life. These people are lucky and smart, they are early believers, so they deserved for the huge reward.

Other than Satoshi himself, I do not know anyone who held that much for that long. There's no big reason as to why they had to anyway, since there's no merit to being called stupid in the past. Then again saving bitciin for that long is a very arduous task. But for security and privacy purposes, of course I'd conceal my identity to ensure that I do not get mugged of the streets, or that no one hacks on my computer to possibly steal my bitcoins.

No one will exposed themselves having btc that long especially now that it's price is too far from what it is 2010, or maybe those who have it can't still retrieve their btc back then loss wallet or seed, I do hear some news before 2017 pump that some mine btc and forgot their seed since they were not much serious by that time of mining. Those who have btc in 2010 and still hold it without using in any transaction probably just didn't know yet they have btc.

If you are the one who holds the bitcoin at that time I think I will serve you as a lucky one because compare right now the drive from that year up to this year even though it's not a 1 Bitcoin still it's a bitcoin. If you think it's good to hold and there a chance to rise to 100k USD it's a big thing but when you can hold this coin? It took 11 years is this the biggest event in your life or regret it no one knows the possible move of the bitcoin market.

Its really a do or die kind of call where you do really hold up for long term on something that you cant even sure on how it would perform in the future.For those who had able to wait

then they are the ones who do really ready on what are the things to happen neither it would dump or not but look at on whats the current condition in the market?

Holding this long isnt something that everybody could able to do so.This is why its really amazing for those who do able to do so.

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.

Yep. If I was a bitcoin hodler from the early days (and had a significant amount), there's no way I'd be advertising that fact here. And I'm not sure how many people were smart enough to hold onto their bitcoin throughout the crazy ups and downs we've seen over the years, but I'd imagine the people who struck it rich no longer have any use for the forum--especially since it's nothing like it was back in 2009-2011, before signature campaigns and bounties destroyed the quality of posts.

Some stayed (like TECSHARE, rest in peace) because they continued to do business here and you'll still see some of them around, though I have no idea if any of them still have any of their bitcoin they acquired in the early days, assuming they acquired a significant amount to begin with. Nevertheless I bet you that there are a lot of crypto-wealthy members here who just keep quiet about that fact.

Im curious about this, because what the use of bitcoin if they're not going to use it, however if there are a man who still holding bitcoin from that year until now, I think he made a good income in that way, because there's a big changes happen in the price of bitcoin from that time until now and the price of bitcoin is still going better.

If they're a man who are still holding his bitcoin and not using it for so long, maybe they have enough money in their real life thus using his bitcoin is not necessary and money has no value for them.

I think there's a chance that someone with that holdings exists somewhere but for sure they wouldn't reveal their identity for the sake of their safety. Everyone wishes that they could be that person, someone who has the highest faith on bitcoin that managed to believe for a decade without getting shaken from all the doubts and negative views about bitcoin. Maybe there's below 1% of people who owns bitcoin during that time was able to hold it up until now. It sounds impossible actually considering that bitcoin experienced a lot of bull run already, for sure at one point you would be tempted to sell your holdings. If someone actually did it, he's rich as hell right now for sure.

The simple reason for those who have not been able to get hold of Bitcoin in 10 years is because the classic reason is economics. I myself have found it difficult to hold Bitcoin for a long time. This is often the case for retail buyers like us. The income is often minus so that the investment becomes collateral. I believe that those who still hold it are those who have excess money and are not experiencing economic hardship.

To be honest i didn't think so that aside from Satoshi who was the brain of bitcoin blockchain who hodl bitcoin from early 2010 till today there's other who hodl it like investors and traders. Actually the market of bitcoin in the early 2010 wasn't that good enough that would impress investor to hodl bitcoin for a long term unlike today. But if there's someone who able to hodl bitcoin wayback that early stage of bitcoin till now I salute them for the trust and loyalty that they give to bitcoin because now they deserve to be rewarded to earn a good profit from how much bitcoin market value it have right now.

Imagine you become part of the early stage of the bitcoin and you trust this coin for all over the year it's a good opportunity for holding a large amount and then you came back after a sees all of your hard work because of the bitcoin.

I think even now the Bitcoin is still good on holding because the market volatility still good and profitable if I have enough funds so why not make a hold.

Not quite sure though unless it is someone who held his stash in a wallet and forgot his keys or something. In my opinion, there's no one can hold that long because I believed that as a person or investor if they saw an opportunity to get a huge amount of profit then they will definitely grab it without hesitation so I don't think they can pull it off. However, if someone really did it besides satoshi himself then that is commendable, if you will calculate that it for the current price we have now that would be an overwhelming profit. But I guess someone can now able to pull it off because investors have now more confident.

Well, I also think that except for the creators of bitcoin and the unlucky ones and forgetting their wallets, very few have been able to hold bitcoin until now because the current situation is really only present in dreams but unfortunately no one believed this dream could come true, some missed the chance, some used bitcoin in exchange for a few pizzas, some sold bitcoin very early, lots of causes and effects here. The success of bitcoin is the cost and regret of many generations but fortunately we can still continue with bitcoin, the journey does not stop here.

I haven’t seen anyone that owns Bitcoin since 2010 that is here in the forum and most of them that I know have even quit from it after they were able to secure a good amount of profit, and I just don’t understand why they decide to quit. Anyway, it can be possible that there can be people who invested in Bitcoin since then that are still around and maybe they are still holding it or they might have sold it this time around since the market went really big at this time.

Though most of the stories I have read about those who had it then and never withdrew is that they end up forgetting their passwords and that is how they lose their coins.

There are tons of users from this forum that still holds unto their coins and was an early adopters way back 2010. Most of them are still very active from the forum and are already legendary members trying to help the forum without being held up by cash and contributing real updates on crypto. Try exploring the forum more and you'll realize that they are still here, try checking out the meta, Wall Observer, Technical Support, Mining and other sections which are excluded on bounty programs and campaigns.

But still most of them quitted the forum and witdrawn, invested, became a trader or a millionaire.

Members of the bitcoin foundation have always been known since the 2010 era and some with usernames on the forum. It is revealing to read their initial comments when they were still early adopters.

There are likely many people like that but they are probably not going to answer, the first reason is that they are very rich and they are not going to spend a lot of time in the forums to answer those kind of questions, and the second and probably the most important reason is that if they were to tell you that they had been holding bitcoin since that long then they are putting themselves a target on their backs, there are many scammers in the forum and they are always looking for an opportunity to try to get money and you do not want to attract the attention of those people.

Not that they are rich or they are protecting themselves because all identity here in the forum is protected unless you are posting it here. They are the pioneer of Bitcoin so expect that they are professional about securing there asset from scammer. Most of the early holders are not active anymore, It's either they lose there private key or they are not alive anymore.

There are some person here that can still ask this question like @theymos and other ancient user here tho. Cheesy

They can still receive PMs and they will be bothered with a bunch of useless propositions by scammers, so while the chances are low they are not zero and why risk it when you have so much bitcoin already and your life is pretty much resolved already at least when it comes to your economy? Those people are never going to reveal themselves, in fact even using an account that old could be a giveaway that you could be a long term holder, so it is even possible they just abandoned their old account and made another in order to not bring attention to themselves.
