There are, they don't want to expose themselves knowing the public that they're holding it. Just tune in to the news that focuses more with transfers coming from a sleeping address.
They monitor those wallets from a long time sleeping and when a sudden transfer happens, they'll report it.

Of course! There should be people who haven't sold their bitcoin since 2010. Like the first bitcoin miners. Although some movements have been seen like this example that is speculated that it is a bitcoin mining whale that has moved 50 bitcoins for the first time on 02/24/21.

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.
I think there is an argument to be made that most of those people are still holding their coins, after all if you were holding bitcoin back then either because you mined it or bought it it is fair to say that you thought very highly of bitcoin and you were aware of the technological advancements it brought.So for the most part people that bought bitcoin back then were visionaries, so I doubt many of them sold their coins even after a 100x gain, maybe they sold part of their coins but not all of them as many were probably aware of the statement of satoshi that said that bitcoin will either be worth nothing or a fortune during the next decades and they obviously thought the latter was way more likely.
well if you save bitcoins from 2010 when the price was that cheap then you can become rich now especially when the price of bitcoin can reach a price of more than $50k, with this moment I hope you can store more bitcoins than before. keep storing bitcoins until bitcoins are getting hard to get.
One thing I remember those members here in the forum back in 2011 were donated 50 bitcoin for their upgrading profile status. I guess, they still manage to hold their bitcoin until now, and maybe theymos has bitcoin too on his wallet. They contributed a lot that they keep holding whatever the struggle that bitcoin faced back then. If you hold bitcoin up to this day since 2010, you will live like a king if you have at least 500 bitcoin in your wallet. But I have doubt that most people are being sold their bitcoin for a good reason. There's nothing to regret.
Many of us want a huge amount of return but I don't think anyone here in crypto currency community would take to hold fpr that long period of time. Well, maybe by those rich users here as they have a very firm mindset to extend their patience and to hold for that long time. In some case, it may also vary for case to case basin since most of us needed money just like me, from the start I hold for a couple of months but eventually it suddenly fall and decrease so deep and I can't take that long to wait in which I suddenly withdraw it and focus in different way to earn like a buy and sell for just a short period of time.

In my own idea, there are not many people patient enough to hold bitcoins for almost ten years. We do have some old forum members here registered from 2010. Maybe they have some little amount bitcoins left from 2010. Also, there are some wallets with lost private keys and the bitcoins in those wallets are still not touched. Maybe after the owners fund the keys they can use their ancient coins. But, generally, yes. Other than Satoshi himself, there are some a few people holding bitcoins from 2010.
Some just wanted to keep themselves private and some maybe just forget that they have BTC since the price too low those times. There might be more holders before that already sold their btc during the pump in 2017 since it’s actually already a high profit versus their investments. If there are anyone who still hold that long without trading or using it atleast once except Satoshi probably he/she maybe already forgot that they have btc or that they wanted to keep it at a certain age. Satoshi holding 1 million bitcoins and never moved it since then. And also people who have been holding huge amount of BTC for very long time may not hold them in the same wallets forever, they keep swapping to new wallets and also possibly to multiple wallets.
Satoshi is definitely doing it right. Unfortunately we don't know if he is still alive or maybe it's a group of people who are sharing it. Imagine if they lost their password for their bitcoins. That would be a huge amount of money lost. In 2010 I had no idea what bitcoins where, it took me another 5 years to get on board.

is there someone holding bitcoin from early 2010 when the price is around 0.01 and still not selling today? just wondering?
The very popular holder who until now haven't move or touch his Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto, he is the popular one I don't know if there are others who will come out and announce with proof like wallet address, that he is a holder since 2010 until now, I doubt if there are holders until now, there's a huge possibility that they have already sold it and may have repurchased again.
Me too also wondering about it but I think, people who holds btc from 2010 until now will hide their identity for security purposes. Imagine the money they will have if they btc that year and they will sell it now. Who knows that bitcoin will hit the price of today back in 2010? Just wow.

I first registered to this forum in 2012 and got my first coins during that time. I still have some coins remaining from that stash. That said, I very rarely come across any of the users from 2010, although 2011/12 is more common. Even those users who have registered back then have sold most of their coins at lower levels and only a minority would have kept their coins as such. And just one correction. Back in Q1/Q2 2010, the exchange rate was $0.001, and not $0.01.
Honestly this place wasn't that much known in 2010 at all, it was 2009 I think when it first started right? And satoshi was here until 12th of December on 2010 which means people were capable of talking with him if they were here and got his attention somehow. Long story short I am sure there are plenty of people who came in later and hold it, I came in early 2013 and I do not hold any of that unfortunately but I can say that I have been around enough to remember almost everything and there are some before me but reality is that majority came in later.2010 is just too early, sure there could be some people who did came in after that period, but bitcoin breaking 100+ was the first time it got a super high hype and that's why I believe that is probably the case for people who hold the most coins, it was both cheap and not that long ago like 2010.
It is impossible to said that how many people hold bitcoin from early 2010 till today. Noone says that I have still a lot of bitcoin. But I think, those people who are founder and co-founder, they hold their bitcoin still today.
Maybe also those who have a direct access upon them do have it still.
People who have insiders are capable of hoding still to maximze the highest growth of this asset, we can't conclude if they still holding the same but for sure they are capable of making a winning trade each time they enter the exchange, sell high up to the peak and buy low from the very dip. the very advantage of being part of the team or know someone very close to the all people behind.
This right time to hold the Bitcoin. Now Bitcoin price is increasing day by day. So hold and wait for the more price increase. Bitcoin is any time to up and down. So check the Market price day by day then got more ideas for future investment. So plan to work and investment the Bitcoin..

Yes, it impossible to know the number of people who bought Bitcoin in the year 2010 and still holding till now and none of the people that still keep their holding till now will come fore because it never security advice for every cryptocurrency holder to publicize their investment online or in-person to a stranger.

Holding bitcoin for a long time not easy task.i think hold is always better .but I don't think anyone who never sold his bitcoin to make money. But if anyone did that today he is the billinior I think.
Holding Bitcoin was not easy in 2010. Online wallets such as Blockchain.info were inexistent, and so was the case with lite wallets. Also, back then the software was very prone to crashes and bugs. Moreover, most of the users were ideologically motivated and never cared much about their coins. A lot of them lost their coins when they formatted their laptops or when they lost the private keys as a result of carelessness.
There were a lot of issue back then which is also the reason why most of the early adopters have not been able to hold unto their coins whether they like or not. If I right, most of the people who have hold and tried to open and bring back their wallets as early as 2015 or 2016 have failed due to various reasons where the common ones are corruption of files and hardware failure. If you think of it, computer hardware and software back then was as good and secured as today. The only people that I believe to get a hold of their coins from before up until now are the community here at bitcointalk that has been active for a long time. I believe, theymos, still have access to his/her coins today.
In my country Philippines, someone holds Millions of dollars worth of bitcoin. He was anonymous of course but he shared his picture having his multi-million dollar worth of BTC and he says he holds it from 2013.
I'm from Philippines and I haven't heard anything about this. May I know where you have read or watched this, I'm just curious about this as I believe that only Dabs was the only bitcoin pioneer on Philippines.
