Topic: holding bitcoin from early 2010 till today - page 5. (Read 1519 times)
I wish I were among those investors. But don't know anyone holding Bitcoin from than 2015.
Maybe only people who forget to save their private keys and find them again this year are capable of holding Bitcoin from 2010. Because if a normal
person would have sold their Bitcoin when they were profitable, because the Bitcoin status is still not legalized in many countries. Many people are
afraid that Bitcoin will die or its price will fall to zero, if I know the price of Bitcoin can be as high as now, I will definitely be holding Bitcoin from 2010.

I don't think that there is someone who bought BTC in early 2010 and still holding it until now, that is quite impossible because no one knows that bitcoin could reach $60k right now. No one expects that it would happen so for sure those who bought bitcoin that year have sold their bitcoin when there is a bit of movement with the value of bitcoin.
I don not think if there are still holding bitcoin since 2010 until now, If there is then maybe that is already a confidential matter to the beholder. This issue is very confidential since having at least 1 BTC can make a person rich. I have 1 BTC last 2015 but I did come into thinking that the value went like this so I decided to sell it since I am in the need of money during those time. Anyway that already have helped me so still okay.
is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?
You have to think someone is. There are a lot of original wallets with bitcoin that hasn't moved. Is that on old hard drives or someone with iron hands...no one will know unless they move at some point. One would like to hope so but definatepy hard not to sell at these prices now lol.
Personally I do not know anyone who had known bitcoin in 2010 itself or being holding from that point
You'll never know one.but sure we will have quite a few who would have just kept and forgotten or just kept holding the bitcoin and now would just be millionaire if they had bought few coins also at that point of time.
IIRC, Hal is one of those people who have said to give it to his children. If his children is still holding it today, they're silent wealthy people.

I think there is no one who buy Bitcoin by 0.01 and holding then till now. Every trader or investors sell their coin when its price increase 2x, 3x and highest 10x. No one wants to get risk. Because there is risk Everytime to decrease price. Everybody buy and sell coin when price down and up. Nobody hold any coin 10 years. It's quite impossible to hold 10 years by a man.

I don't think so that there will be someone who is holding bitcoin since year 2010 up to now because on the succeeding years of bitcoin there is a huge pump of it in which the value of bitcoin turns into thousands so there's a huge possibility that the holders on that year 2010 will be able to sell their holdings when the price surge happens and just think about on the ath on the year 2017 at $20,000 there's a huge possibility during that time is that the holders sell all of their holdings because that is the first time the bitcoin soar very high. 
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.
agree with you that the founder of this forum must have owned Bitcoin when the price was $ 0.01...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.
btw I'm curious about the account;
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/admin-1
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/--2
those who are registrants 1 - 10,000 or a little bit more I think own Bitcoin from the very beginning.
I think it is difficult to ignore the profitability of Bitcoin because it has increased hundreds of thousands of times since 2010.With such a terrible profit, who will be able to hold back their greed not to sell their Bitcoin.l(?!?). I assume a person does not sell their Bitcoin unless they forget their Bitcoin or they have many different Bitcoin addresses and they have contingency calculations for future use. Or maybe someone bought Bitcoin before going to jail and maybe they're in jail waiting for their release to be able to use their bitcoins.
If you were mining in 2010 and didn't lose your keys or get wiped out by Mt Gox (which would have been easy, because they were the easiest/only online wallet option at the time) you have to have some of your coins hanging around.
I can't believe that anyone who was here in 2010 would have sold everything at any of the peaks we've seen. If you were here in 2010 you were mining, which means you likely have 100s or 1000s of coins. It's easy to do well taking some of that off the table when we hit $1000, $10000, or $20000 and leave more in the wallet for the "rainy day" that is 2020-2021.
I hope that most people who were involved in 2010 had an honest belief that we could see what we see today. That the vision could become reality. And cheers to those people and their stealth wealth!

It is a rare thing to be honest and kudos to that person if he/she still has been hodling been bitcoin since 2010 without the temptation to sell it during the periods where we saw ATH. Forgotten coins are definitely a possibility but we don't have to worry about something that is already lost.

I think if someone holding from early 2010 till today then he or she definitely lose chance to get more profit. I personally own bitcoin since few years ago when the price still below $1000 and of course I have following market trend. I always sells my bitcoin when the price is high and buy it again when it price cheaper. But may be there are some people who buy bitcoin and then forget it because they are busy with their activity, I think once they remember it then their live will be change. They wil be rich.
For me it is impossible, but I also don't know this is a fact that still holds bitcoin until now.
Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it.
But if anyone still holds it today, be sure to be a very strong person in any situation in the cryptocurrency market.
Yeah I agree unless the hodler does not need it and prefer to hodl his or her Bitcoins for future purposes. For me there only two reasons they still hodl Bitcoin until this day, One is either they are wealthy enough to sell their coins or they might lose their private keys and still hoping they are going to recover their funds. 😁 Because bitcoin has experienced several fantastic increases so I'm sure those who hold it will be tempted to sell it.

Yes, if you dig a little bit in the forum you will see some posts that give a hint. The admin of the forum is hodling massively since at least 8 years ago
I've had at least 50% of my net worth in BTC continuously for 8+ years. And some posts about creating a new sea based territory.
8 years ago - as stated on his own posts, and many of the people that mingle around the bitcoin sections and usually have Legendary ranks do obviously have stores of bitcoin. I am not going to point out specific user names that have not made their own statements public nor I am keeping a list, but I kind of recognise them when I see the users. You can also tell who does not hold much by looking at those that are doing campaigns and the like that require large number of posts.

I thought OP is the one that was hodling bitcoin way back in 2010. We would know if there is someone who still hodl bitcoin from 2010 because there are some addresses that are sleeping and they might be or might not be lost but we still have hope that they are going to wake up, as far as I know, there won't be a lot of people that is hodling that much bitcoin for almost a decade, a lot of ATH have popped up along the way so the likelihood that they are still hodling is close to zero for me.
If I am not mistaking, the majority of Bitcoin millionaires (or anyone that made some money from it) came from the waves that started in 2012, the earlier ones are maybe small in number due to things. They keep a low profile so it's hard to figure out the number of them, and second, in those early years not many people thought that this would explode as it did and they used bitcoin as a means to exchange goods and pay for them (as one example is the famous bitcoins for pizza transaction), and they had a completely different perception of what bitcoin is, what it should be used for and what to do with it.
I’ll not reveal myself if I’m holding such amount of Bitcoin because I know, hackers will run after me and my Bitcoin wont be safe anymore. Many early users are still holding their bitcoin because they believe on this technology and they’ll lose nothing here since they are early users who bought or got bitcoin at the very cheap price.
Honestly speaking, hackers cannot do anything unless you make a mistake. That is the kind of security BTC provides us, without getting tricked into giving away our own private key, the hackers cannot do a damn thing.I believe there are still early investors who are not selling yet their bitcoin but prefer to not disclose that information for their privacy.
For sure there must be some but if they haven't sold yet, I don't think they are going to sell it even in the net 5 years unless the value reaches 1 million or something like that.What I can imagine is that people who still store Bitcoin from early 2010 till today are only the creator of Bitcoin, namely Satoshi Nakamoto.
Because I am sure that early adopters will immediately sell their Bitcoin when they get a large enough profit. And they would not have thought that Bitcoin could reach the price it is today.
Yes, maybe someone found a private key of an address that someone else lost back in 2010 and now they might sell it, otherwise no one would have the patience to just hold for 11 years despite the marketing experiencing terrific bull and horrible bear runs.

Some of the regulars on the WO thread have been Hodlers for quite some time, I don't know if since 2010 but I sure know of a few who claim to be holding since not too many years later. You have to think that most people sold. Those who bought at $0.10 and multiplied the investment by 10, 50 or 100 probably sold and only a few visionaries kept holding or made partial sales when the price went up without selling everything.
Probably seeing your investment growing 100x could really trigger someone to sell their stash way early. Of course, you can't blame them, they already generated tons of money for them, no need to rub that they shouldn't have waited long at least 2017 to sell to make more money.
And probably those who didn't, either lost their access (seeds and private key), forget about it or just a embodied the true definition of HODLer if they still have it since the beginning.
