Topic: How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now? - page 2. (Read 953 times)

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  .
Since know with bitcoin when investing in MGM investment project many bitcoin send in and out in my wallet but have some keep holding as my investment until right now looking the future will bitcoin make new higher price again?

Indeed has saving assets of bitcoin, almost one year ago keep purchasing bitcoin as my investment in monthly and allocated few percent of my salary for investing in bitcoin. For every one still empty with bitcoin assets in your wallet you can make planning in the future keep holding around $100 to $300 every month for investing in bitcoin.

Yes, we have to be grateful for what we have gotten so far, everyone of course wants to collect as much as they can in accumulating it, They can carry out any activity in Cypto, whether they participate in a giveaway, project campaign (bounty) or something else. What's truly free doesn't require a large amount of capital. With the development of this asset, it is quite true what you say, many of them invest in crypto. It is not recommended to invest money that affects our living needs, it is better to use money that is saved or not used for any needs.

No, I wasn't. I was doing other stuff online and was always interested in finding online work due to my interest in computers. Unfortunately, it did not lead me to become a bitcoin holder that early on. Like I said, it could have had I been a little smarter and conducted some research on bitcoin when it was proposed to me as a payment method for my services, but that's all in the past now. I am still satisfied to have entered the market when I did.

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.

in june 7 2011 from that thread mate? this is what I found


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

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

Yes, you are right. Some people are already introducing Bitcoin classes in schools, while some Bitcoiners have also taken it upon themselves to teach Bitcoin in schools, public places, gather friends, and teach them. There was also a post I saw on this forum where the OP was teaching about Bitcoin in the church, another topic that the OP was helping the needs with money realize from Bitcoin profit. By so doing, Bitcoin knowledge will definitely spread, and people who have money will love to invest once they have a good understanding of Bitcoin and are willing to take the risk of investing because, right now, no one can earn 3 bitcoins from airdros or bounties again, they have to invest. I sometimes wish I knew about Bitcoin since 2016 because it would have been easy to earn it freely like you did. No regrets though. I'll keep accumulating with DCA. 

The past does not need to be remembered and we shouldn't regret the past because the most important thing is how to prepare for the future. For long-term opportunities, bitcoin is still the right choice and we can try to buy slowly with the financial capabilities we have. When we understand the journey of bitcoin, the step to hold is a choice because we know that bitcoin will always produce a repeating cycle and where the price will continue to rise.

In reality, we must have several sources of fixed income to live life and work in the real world is a step to prepare for all the needs of life with family. While collecting bitcoins from signature campaigns can be used for assets and continue to be held until they reach the desired price.

I also went through those days, selling BTC at the end of 2017, and I think by that time it was worth a lot.
But looking now it is even beyond my expectations, but of course there is no regret even though I sold in the past at a low price.

A realistic and not overly imposing answer that you should not sell Bitcoin or just hold without selling anything.
Anyone has the right to sell their property for various reasons, especially related to survival, paying internet bills, electricity, water, food, rent, etc.

Those who can get through that and still have some savings from the past, they may still be lucky to be able to invest.
But it's certainly different when one only lives from Bitcoin and from this forum.

You seem to have been in the crypto space for quite some time before you were on this forum.

It's not that it's not smart enough, there are many things that make someone skeptical about the new payment method,
especially Bitcoin which is just known as a digital currency which at that time was still not recognized by anyone and the price was still very cheap.

If you think about it now, there are more people who will be interested, but the price is also expensive and also depends on how the regulations are enforced.

Actually, it doesn't matter if you want to discuss anything in a public forum, even if it is closely related to Privacy.
The important thing is that you do not give out your identity, do not give your private key and do not give out your personal wallet address.
You just need to tell a story or anything, I don't expect you to provide detailed information about your Bitcoin holdings.
 

Good for you that you'd have a decent amount to be able to sell at a profit. I can totally agree with you about the privacy of how much they have, to be honest, I think that we should practice not prying too much on how much someone have or respecting the privacy in terms of how much bitcoin they have, after all it's not our money and at the same time it's a practice that would help us prevent the possibility that someone is casing us and we might unknowingly become a target of scammers and hackers because we've made it public because we never thought much about it.

Most of them probably have sold enough already to make a couple of hundreds or grand.

Hihi.

For sure it's fine to discuss that before when BTC's price was just cents. But now? I don't think that someone is going to answer that genuinely on how much he's got.

Maybe to start with, a few mBTCs to say? 

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.

nobody can agree to expose the amount he or she has in bitcoin, I think it's abnormal to specifically categories the amount of bitcoin you have, it seems that many people doesn't like to review such because from my understanding is improper to say the amount of bitcoin you are holding in public,  some persons have up to five to twenty bitcoin but they kept it secret, theirs some people who mine bitcoin during the time of mining of bitcoin was in existence but right now, I know very well that bitcoin mining people who did it that time will still have surplus bitcoin un their folders.

I remember that thread, and the advice is similar then to now:  why would you discuss it in a public forum?
:-)

Not much, just few points, some of them were from early investment after 2021. and some of them were from signature campaign convert. But well, I'm really thankful with this amount.

Investing in Bitcoin has become a choice for many people. Because, many parties have truly understood the benefits, after several bullish Bitcoin cycles. Of course, the more Bitcoin you have, the more profit you will get. However, the important thing is to make sure that whatever the nominal value is in Bitcoin, make sure it is truly free money. Not using money that will be used every day.

It’s really difficult to acquire and hold a lot of bitcoin most especially if you are only here for few years and  yet bitcoin price continues to become expensive. Even holding 1 btc costs a lot of money, so expect that majority is not able to keep numerous amount of bitcoin, except for those who spend their lifetime savings and go all in. But even so, no one would admit that he got a lot, probably because privacy is the best policy. If you are too easy to expose your bitcoin hodlings, later on you will realize how’d you put yourself in a dangerous situation.

I don't have a lot to say here. The most Bitcoin I ever earned was no more than 3 BTC.

In the past, getting 1 BTC could be said to be easy using the method you have mentioned. If you think about it, expecting the ease of getting 1 Bitcoin in this way is no longer easy, so I thought that in the midst of our knowledge about Bitcoin, we wanted to go back to the old days.
If you want to say regret, everything has been missed.

Yeah, i don't think anytime is late to start buying or using BTC, but recent adopters usually look back and wish they had bought earlier. I often tell people to put that thought behind them, even some of these early adopters sold their coins a long time ago, so who is to say you wouldn't have sold yours if you were an early adopter.
I agree, BTC is not a money making scheme and whatever comes out of ones investment in BTC, they should feel great to just be part of this network and have the knowlede of this censorship resistant money.

I started playing around with bitcoin pretty early, but not as early as I could have. I did some work online back in 2010/2011 for some people, and they proposed payment in bitcoin. I am not going to lie, but I thought they were trying to scam me by offering me a payment method no one knew about and very few people used. Had I been smarter back then, I would have had thousands of bitcoin to my name. Of course, there are no guarantees I wouldn't have sold some or most of them, but I still rejected the idea at the time. Thinking back now, those dudes were early adopters, and perhaps even miners.

If we look at "how many bitcoins went into my wallets" type of thing, way above 100 bitcoins so far, I even had 40-50 bitcoins just within one year as well back in the day. However, I have nearly none right now, maybe like couple hundred dollars if I am lucky but looks like I may need to cash that out as well. The reality is that we are looking at something that takes some time and because of that a lot of people do not realize how tough it is.

This was my income, meaning that "if you kept all of it today you would have millions" is not possible for me, if I kept it all, then how am I suppose to live? What will I use to pay my bills? Food? Rent? I had to cash that out and I do not regret it a single bit to be fair. It does feel great to have this chance at the very least.

This. I also sell regularly that is why I only have few fractions left with me right now but if I had to calculate my earnings since 2017 to 2024 I think it all has a total of more or less 1 BTC. I am not a fool to make myself a target here because if only I knew back then that hodling those coins will make me a millionaire in my local currency then I probably did that but what done is done. 😁
