yeah I have collected at least small chunks as of now but still finding ways to add more.

Keep on doing that, that's the best we can do right now while the price is starting to be more expensive.

thanks mate , yeah that is what I'm doing now and i believe that my regular action towards my investment , this made me enjoying my work and my possible income .

and another thing mate is that I am not closing my door investing with altcoins but of course those who have big potential for the coming bull market.

I got 14 btc but I think that's so low

Human greed is always not enough with what you have got, even though you already have 20 BTC, you still want to have more, that is human nature. It wasn't difficult to get more than 14 BTC around 2010, because at that time the value of Bitcoin was very low. Now getting even one Bitcoin is very difficult, because you have to collect a large amount of money to own it. By the way, can you prove your claim, I am very curious about the number of Bitcoins you have earned.

and that will brings you to losses mate .

I am sure that 50 BTC back then wouldn't have sounded very surprising to them either as it does for us today.
Just keep accumulating as much bitcoins as possible so that we can be called as the early adopters by the younger ones in the future.

50BTC or even 100BTC a few years ago did not sound surprising. Now hearing just 1 BTC there are a lot of people interested,
and it will be a huge amount of money.

It's indeed a matter of time and price of Bitcoin itself

See the list of Members who donated to the Bitcointalk Forum at the time,
50 BCT and 10 BTC were quite small amounts when they donated,
but it was something amazing.

At the end of the day all any of us can do is make the best decisions we can with the information we have at the time and i try not to dwell on the past or beat yourself up over it. You took a reasonable action back then that made sense given your situation. Sure you think about what could've happened, but that kind of speculation doesn't really get you anywhere. But you also know playing it safe isnt always a bad call either. It's about finding the right balance for your own needs.

The decision in the past was the best decision, even though some people say that their decision to sell was the wrong decision because they did not hold back in part.

Being in the past when I had a lot of Bitcoin and selling it at a very good price at that time did not make me regret it.
It was a journey and experience that shaped me to this point in the crypto space, getting better and better.

And yes, all this is about finding a balance, no one will be satisfied despite getting more profits.
Those who have been able to hold until now, have gained tremendous profits and are great enough to be able to hold up to the highest ATH.

It is a fact which shows that since we have known Bitcoin, if we had bought or saved and haven't sold what we had bought and sold, we would have a lot of Bitcoin by now but unfortunately, man does not know what is going to happen in the future, how much something is going to be worth, if it is known then everyone should keep their things until that time until they become very valuable as Bitcoin has become.

When I started working online, online fee payments were made in bitcoins, and since then, if I had saved, I would have had eighteen bitcoins or maybe more, but since I didn't have any idea how much Bitcoin would be worth in the future, I used to convert my assets to fiat and spend them whenever I needed which is what someone would normally do.

We've all been there, wondering what if? about decisions in hindsight. The truth is none of us have a crystal ball to see where prices might go. For all we know, Bitcoin's value might have ended up crashing (unlikely).

At the end of the day all any of us can do is make the best decisions we can with the information we have at the time and i try not to dwell on the past or beat yourself up over it.

It's unfair to ask people how many Bitcoin they have when you, @OP, didn't revealed how many Bitcoin you currently own.

Yeah you're correct because most users in this forum have at least 15 BTC.

Sorry its too private question and not answer how many bitcoin holding right now because my government will hunt for getting taxes if you show your self have many assets of cryptocurrency Grin

Either you answer or not, the government already know who you're and how much the coins you have without you need to reveal it since you're using centralized exchange.

Holding 0.001 BTC now wouldn't sound very surprising today but 15 years down the line there would be another person like @taufik123 making a similar post as OP.

Not only will the government hunt you down but also just people with ill intention. If they find out that you have x amount of bitcoin on you they will most likely target you the most and will try different ways just to hack into your system and drain out your wallet

Let us not tell anyone the specific amount of btc we hold even to the people we love and trust. It is better safe than sorry

Bitcoin has changed people's views on choosing where to invest, its ever-increasing price has made Bitcoin the most profitable investment. Bitcoin can be obtained in various ways, including those you have mentioned in Op, but as is the investment goal that is commonly used by investors, it is very difficult to maintain Bitcoin obtained in 2016 until now. I'm not sure there are people here who will be able to hold Bitcoin from 2016 to 2024 because basically the investment goal is "buy when the price is low, then sell at a high price." Investors will immediately release their holdings when the price of Bitcoin has increased, then buy back when it is trading at a cheaper price, this is how the cycle always occurs.

So my answer to your question is that I can only collect a small portion of Bitcoin because there are several reasons that make me have to release ownership of some of them.

To some it up ? like those answers above as I am not having enough bitcoin now because maybe we are not making it enough unless we become millionaire from bitcoin then that would be a different answer i guess.

but what I wanted to change in the question is "How many Bitcoin have passed our hands" an this will longer the thread because for sure like me? i have seen so much coins that happened i owe in the past and now I lost them all because of misuse and mishandled .

I have still some portion in my holding and praying that I can keep this and will add at least for the next 10 years more.

That's a great question mate, actually even though we don't hold any bitcoins now and we can't disclose how much we hold now but when we think of the times when we had bitcoins, it makes us wonder where it went because if you add it all up , we can say that we have accumulated bitcoins but since we used it for something else, it will be just a memory.
Sometimes we even regret that we wish we hadn't used it or we had been smarter in using our holdings but there is nothing we can do because it has happened, maybe it would be better if we just learn from those mistakes and be a better investor when it comes to spending our holdings once we have the opportunity to hold a large amount of coins again.

We have learned our lessons mate , like me that I have been in the process of accumulating bitcoin for many years but fails to keep them all for long time instead my decisions
are mistakes and I have sold so many of my funds instead of keeping bitcoin intact until now, but like what I said I still have mine and waiting for the time that it may bring me best result and willing to wait till 10 years more.

And now, How many Bitcoins do you have now or how much have you ever accumulated?

Well, to be honest with you all, I can't really say how much bitcoins I've been able to accumulate so far for obvious reasons, but what I do have to say is that, I've not been able to accumulate up to 1 bitcoin since I began my cryptocurrency journey in 2016, and this is because; the more I try to accumulate more and more bitcoin, the more expensive it gets, further and further hindering my chances of ever getting up to 1 bitcoin.

But then, I think it's important to mention that I was in crypto all through since 2016 when I started in this industry, in fact, around 2017/2018, i sold everything, all by accumulated bitcoins and altcoins, then invested the money in another business which later crashed, I was away from crypto till around October 2020 when I came, I started afresh and since then, I've been trying to see if I can be able to hold up to 1 bitcoin, but the chances gets slimmer and slimmer each passing day - but never giving up though.

I'm not going to reveal how many BTC I have right now. Grin

It's not that much, so there's no reason for me to brag about it.
I had 1.25 BTC back in the summer of 2015, but I sold it because I was expecting the price to drop from 300 USD down to 100 USD. Grin

I remember having around 0.33 BTC back in 201-2017 and I sold most of it before the big bull run. Yeah, I know I wasn't a good trader back then. I don't know how many BTC I have earned from sig campaigns in the last 8 years. The amount must be decent, but honestly I don't care about this information.

Just saying, see back then the investors are delighted to share how much Bitcoin they own, them owning hundreds of Bitcoin but yet are open on their portfolio but we who do not own even 1 Bitcoin are secretive on how much Bitcoin we own Cheesy

. I would also do the same, I would not aswell give a concrete answer, but I own some fractions of Bitcoin that is worth more than some cups of coffee Cheesy

.

Those days that hodlers display the amount of Bitcoins they own was when the price of Bitcoin was so low like less than $0.10 in 2010, do you know how much Bitcoin such investor who bought bitcoin then would own in November 2013 when the price surge to $1000? So those days were literally better days than now that the price got to an ATH of $73k like how many people apart from the whales can boost of owning more than 1 BTC now except a hodler who have been hodling for over a decade and there are very few investors that can say that they have been hodling for over 10 years if at all there is any and now even if one owns 1 BTC it will be hard for that person to reveal it because of some security reasons and moreover, 1 BTC is a whole lot of money for one to be flaunting on the internet regardless of the fact that majority of us are anonymous in the forum but there is still need keep personal information private from the public.

So just like the chart below of Bitcoin price movement since 2010 when the price was around $0.09 till March 2024 when it got an ATH of $73k, you will know that Bitcoin is even yet to break more higher price in the future so all we need do is to HODL.

Simply because things have changed a lot, at that time the value of bitcoin was still not high and I guess most people just wanted to speculate in bitcoin and would sell them when profitable so they did not hesitate to share their bitcoins hold. But currently, each bitcoin costs nearly $70k and not to mention people are gradually appreciating their privacy, so it's not difficult to understand why there aren't many people who own more than 1 BTC but don't want to make it public. Revealing the amount of bitcoin we hold is not only a matter of privacy but can also be a matter of face because we fear having too little bitcoin compared to others, I guess so. Wink

That’s a straight answer, and that would answer in general. Yes, with the total cost of a single bitcoin, it’s difficult to accumulate even a single of it, that’s why it’s not surprising that majority of us do not have bitcoin at the present. Except for those who only come here to buy and hold, without facing such difficulties in their finances at some point that would push to sell early their coins.

Bitcoin is expensive and due to its expensive nature most of the people are not able to buy one Bitcoin so they are buying it in pieces. While there are also lots of people who cannot afford it to buy in a small amount because their financial status does not allow them to do so.

Early selling in case of Bitcoin is not a good idea and if a person wants to buy Bitcoin then before buying he should know that he will not sell it after a short time because Bitcoin growth needs time. If someone sells it early then he will face loss and Bitcoin loss is a big loss therefore try to know everything before doing anything expensive.

That would be much better and trying to give an accurate value to the bitcoins we own can be dangerous and we should not make that mistake. Everyone is trying to collect as many bitcoins as possible right now and it's not just us on this forum because even people outside the forum are doing the same thing. It's interesting when you mention a few cups of coffee because I enjoy almost unlimited coffee every day and I probably don't have that many bitcoins

So, let's conclude that bitcoin is the best asset that many people are starting to save or buy today. The question is when will we collect as many bitcoins as possible so that it has the maximum impact on long-term profits for the results. Of course no one knows because everyone will say the same thing and will not mention a concrete amount.

And now, How many Bitcoins do you have now or how much have you ever accumulated?

Even though I only have a small amount of Bitcoin right now compared to others here, I will not say how many BTC I'm holding. Cheesy

I joined Bitcoin-paid signature campaigns since 2019 (I think), and if only I didn't convert every single Satoshi that I got from that day until now, I might have earned at around 0.2-0.5 BTC. I mean that's a huge already especially in our country where I'm living.

I don't feel any disappointment at all, and I don't expect that Bitcoin will reach this high when I was still starting to learn cryptocurrency. At the end of the day, I feel that my total Bitcoin holdings right now is what I considered as "enough", and I will eventually sell it during the bull market anyway. I'm just grateful that I learned Bitcoin, I learned cryptocurrency, I learned this forum, and I learned about investing in general.

To those Bitcoin holders out there, holding is good, but don't hold it forever. Wink

As an investor, learn when to sell.

8. Bought from others in the Saturday before the last week.

The price were 8.6 USD/BTC, now it has doubled. I'm glad.

Imagine almost 9 dollars each bitcoin 13 years ago , and now how much multiplied it comes? almost 10 thousand times .

Most of those people that have bought at that cheap price probably sold already not if from $50 to $100. Only a few of them really survived and held until now or from that batch, they barely hold any amount. And that is because the unpredictability of BTC by that time was quite high and so everyone wants to get something of what they've invested asap.

I got BTC by buying on the exchange and at that time the market was green, around 0.022 BTC from my work savings. Indeed, at that time I wanted to hold onto it for some time but a few days later the market corrected and went down more and more so I decided to sell my BTC and was only able to hold on for 2 weeks.

The reason why I'm quoting you is to remember this reply when I come back in 10 years time. Maybe someone would had asked the same question the OP is asking and this thread will be recalled. You are making a mistake by selling your Bitcoin this early, we are closer to the bull market and soon the market will begin to pump therefore you are doing the wrong thing by selling now. You could have just held on for some more months and you can sell higher to buy again when the price falls.

I don't have enough Bitcoin bought and I'm not happy about that. I wished I had more Bitcoin by now so I can have profit when Bitcoin all time high comes but I barely have upto 0.2 Bitcoin. Before the year ends, I'm looking to increase my holding amount to 0.5 Bitcoin then I can wait for the all time high to come so I can make some profits before rebuying during the next bear market that will come after the bull market end.
