It was much easier than today, but I can't agree that it was quite easy because even then it took a long time to earn 1 BTC. I was active on faucets at the time and there were days when I could earn over 500k satoshi, which would mean that it would take me about half a year for 1 BTC - which means that you really had to be persistent to reach that goal.

In the period of 2016-2017 I was quite persistent to get more Bitcoin because it is easy to get Bitcoin from various ways that can be done.

I participated in dozens of bounties and airdrops, and I was really focused on that time, until I finally got an airdrop that gave me a profit of 3BTC because of the incredible price increase and some bounties that gave me a pretty big reward, and then I bought Bitcoin.

This is not a question that should be asked in a forum where we should value privacy - because this forum is read by very bad and evil people who would certainly like to know such information.

Yes, I'm aware of that, I don't expect an honest answer about how much bitcoin a person has.
It's just a question that would make someone say about how they were in the past and how they tried to get more Bitcoin.
The portfolio is privacy that no one else should know.

Bitcoin is already becoming more popular than before. The only people who might not have heard about Bitcoin are those who are living in the poorest part of the world, where there is no quality internet connection.

That will change now, internet access can be easily obtained and even wherever you are as long as there is still a sky because Starlink is available for unlimited internet.

But some education needs to be done to make anyone understand Bitcoin and crypto.
They will soon know how the world actually works and they will be part of this mass adoption.

I have read countless topics both on this forum and in other social spaces where individuals continue to blame themselves for not holding their Bitcoin up until today.

What would be most regrettable is if someone still doesn’t know about bitcoin until now. On the positive side, at least they are already aware of bitcoin and knows what to do to maximize profits.

Quote

Then I also came across a topic on this forum where the OP said that everyone actually sold or bought their bitcoin at the price they deserved. Those that sold their bitcoin at a very early stage perhaps used the profit to do very important stuff for themselves because if they never had any use for the money then, they would not have sold their coin.

Profit is still profit. The good thing is that no loss was made but ofcourse, there will always be some feeling of regret because you will be thinking of “what ifs”. You were already so close and you’d start imagining the kind of life you would have been living if you didn’t sell right away.

Well, yes, there is always a 'what if" comment after someone has missed an opportunity, but in the aspect of Bitcoin investment, you only missed the opportunity to buy below a certain low price, but don't allow yourself to also not buy from the current price you are seeing it today because in the future, today's price will also be considered a very low price, and people who missed buying now may still end up regretting why they didn't buy today.

Bitcoin is already becoming more popular than before. The only people who might not have heard about Bitcoin are those who are living in the poorest part of the world, where there is no quality internet connection.

Sharing such information publicly these days carries way more liability. Back then there was really no sophisticated capability to link a bitcoin address to a public identity, whereas there is much more now with companies like Eliptic, TRM Labs and Chainalysis. It is not wise for one to share their bitcoin holdings. Me... I lost all my bitcoin in a boating accident.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily.

Only those who were early adopters can have such amounts of BTC, and if there is anyone on the forum who is among them, he really belongs to the minority.

It can be seen that at that time, people were quite open and did not hesitate to share the bitcoin they had, maybe because bitcoin at that time did not have too much value. But now each bitcoin is worth almost 70 thousand dollars and I think it would be unwise for us to publicly disclose the number of bitcoins we hold. It's not just privacy but there are many different reasons that I believe we all know.

70k$ is not a small amount of money for many 3rd world countries and I think many of us will not have many holders above 1BTC, IMO. Not to mention, today's market is not just bitcoin, we have hundreds of thousands of altcoins and I think the majority of people will invest more in altcoins instead of just holding bitcoin.

I have a couple, with the amount itself remaining a mystery for obvious reasons, but I am confident enough to say that I am prepared for whatever is going to happen to bitcoin, be it good or bad. I have enough to go around and make me fucking rich when it does pump, just enough to use it as a landing mat when the price crashes. So it's all good. I am quite aware of how hard it is to buy bitcoin now financially, considering not everyone's gonna have 70k just lying in their sock drawers and shit, but this is why I always advise people to do DCA, just because you can't buy a whole bitcoin at once doesn't mean you can't make money in this industry anymore. Buy a couple every now and again, reap the benefits, rinse and repeat.

Yes, this is the most important note when we invest in bitcoin because it is volatile and risky. This is also something people often remind each other but I don't think many people will do this. Many people are placing all their hopes on bitcoin and investing everything they have into bitcoin with the dream that bitcoin can help them escape their current difficult life. Many people are investing money they cannot afford to lose.

Of course, we can invest in bitcoin with any amount of money we have as long as it is an amount we can afford to lose, no one forces us to have full 1BTC and DCA is the strategy best when it comes to bitcoin because in the short term it is unpredictable.

While people who bought Bitcoin when the price had already boomed also bought it at a deserved price, if they had bought it when it was early developed, they would have also sold early.

It was after the price of Bitcoin began to surge in every bull market that investors realized the importance of holding their bitcoin for a long period of time. I don't have up to 1 bitcoin, but I think I have enough of its fraction to make a huge profit if the price gets to $100k or above.

Bitcoin was barely known back then and didn't cost much, so people were more open to sharing information about their holdings. But nowadays, even saying you have 1 Bitcoin means you're richer than most people in the world. People don't want to become a target of robbery or scam, and owning Bitcoin can draw attention of tax authorities in some countries as well. So I'm not surprised people aren't eager to share the details.
I can say that I sell regularly, and because of that, I have a very small amount. But I intend to accumulate more.

I am aware that no one will answer to Bitcoin ownership, it is privacy and it becomes very vulnerable to being known by the public.
It is also because the price of Bitcoin is expensive and has always reached ATH to date.

In this case, you should understand how soon this topic will become a mega thread containing the same type of answers.

But yes, your selection of people who had many bitcoins makes me remember and maybe a little sad about missed opportunities. I also found quite a few posts where people simply did not know what to do with bitcoins and simply sold them for pennies. However, this is history and worth remembering.

Nice try FBI!

lol this is such cheap work if this is how the fbi finds out whether you have or you don’t hold some bitcoin and how much you do. They most likely have much advanced technology to try and find out what they want to find out. But even though bitcoin’s transactions are public, no one can actually know who is behind those transactions.

Even in this forum, how can the fbi use this to identify who are you?

Also FBI would not work that way and I think OP just want to have fun on the discussion created then see the response of people regarding on the question he ask. We don't need to disclose figures but we can give something on when we start accumulating and for sure that one cannot put us on risk and also its hard for us to identified since we don't do KYC in this forum so there's nothing to worry about since we are all anonymous here.

But back on the question asked by OP I start accumulating last year although I don't have huge volume but I think its enough for me and targeting to sell it when price of bitcoin possibly reached at $100k or whatever good circumstances happen if I think that situation is enough for me.

To be honest it's easy to see riches these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoin they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

But to answer your question: I don't have enough bitcoin; no one does.

Michael Saylor used to say he would go to bed "worrying that he didnt have enough Bitcoin"

I'm not sure that we "worry" but we definitely wish we had more.

Quote from: Darker45 on June 09, 2024, 02:05:35 AM

That's an interesting question that nobody would honestly answer.

Anyway, I also came here in 2016. Bitcoin was already showing that its potentials are within reach. Alas, I was still naïve, and suspicious too. I came here when a coin was only worth hundreds. And although it was already widely accepted that it could still rise, that it would reach as high as $10,000 or $20,000 was probably moonshot. Or perhaps I was sorely lacking in foresight.

Had I known, I could have bought tens and kept it until today. But I failed that part. So, I might as well make up for that failure and gather as much as I can today. Nothing's too late. A million per coin is a long shot today. But it's just the same story all over again. Tomorrow, we'll look back to this day and be happy we were given a second chance. Others will not enjoy this passing opportunity.

I got in just after you so, Christmas 2016 I when I made the decision to buy my first Bitcoin.
The price was around $1000 and I said I'll play it safe and buy $100!

The majority of early adopters didnt have the foresight to see where Bitcoin was headed
let alone ourselves. I still think we are early too, its hard to believe at $70,000 but others will
look back to these times too with regret at only dipping their toe in instead of the whole leg.

I never had too much Bitcoin—nothing like these stories you hear of people owning hundreds or thousands. It was somewhere between 2014 and 2015; I can't remember exactly, but I recall that I had bought BTC for approximately $350 to $400 per coin, maybe even less than that; imagine that. Being a dumb teenager, I thought that it was expensive. Little did I know. It was approximately 0.45, not sure how much exactly, but probably ranging from 0.45 to 0.50, which was the most I've ever owned till today.

I still have a long way to go to reach what I had in BTC terms back in 2014, and probably not going to anywhere in the near future.

Bitcoin has reached such high value that if you had invested before, you might see some growth and feel tempted to take it out. Even if you only had invested a small amount, anyone will be tempted to just take the money and spend it somewhere. This is why we need to focus on our goals and not let us get distracted.

Even the rich ones would want to own more bitcoin if they could. Knowing how much they can earn through bitcoin no one would want to even give at least 0.0001 of btc.

Totally agree but I think that OP doesn't really mind if you say that you've got enough or more than enough in your investment, pretty sure that OP knows about this thing already so I'm not totally repulsed about this question. Also, even if you don't share it, if someone's determined enough how much you've got when you're joining a campaign, they can just check out the address that you're using to see a rough estimate of your total bitcoin haul.

An estimate won't be that much of a risk and you won't be posting the credentials in the first place along with your announcement of your token holdings. But yes, it would be best to be careful.

People who say they won't share their Portfolios, won't tell you how much they're Bitcoin, maybe they're too skeptical.
But that won't apply to Influencers who will publish their Portfolio to attract the interest that many people will follow,
that way there will be more followers and more money they get, and it also depends on what the real goal is.

I'm not forcing anyone to tell me the details, I'm just giving a topic that will get people to react and talk about privacy.

As you said, the most important thing is not to share in detail let alone share personal wallet credentials and of course it will be better to be careful,
Don't be easily lured by scammers.

Exactly, its better to stay lowkey and hidden or private about how many bitcoin you currently has because for sure there maybe lutking out there aiming for a worthy investor to be rubbed or scam, Maybe its safe to say that an investors has gain some quite an amount of bitcoin over time, and also for me I would say I gain a lot of bitcoin holdings from my other investment and because I do DCA, so I'm proud of what I accumulated at this time, it is enough for me to buy something I want and something I need and also I became more financial independent and not ask for money to my parents in that way it will be less expenses for them, and I did that when I'm in my college era that's what I'm proud of about holding and investing bitcoin. And for the time I invest in bitcoin, I'm proud of myself that I've grown my holdings and will keep on increasing them.

Looking at an old thread from 2011 that talked about how many bitcoins they have, it made me think that getting Bitcoin is very easy.
How Many Bitcoins do you own?

Most of them earn from mining, giveaways, faucets and some contests that give away Bitcoin prizes.

I know about Bitcoin and this Forum in 2016 and back then it was quite easy to get 1 BTC just by entering a bounty or contest.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily.

They have 100++ in the past

Whoever was able to take advantage of those giveaways just for signing up and is an OG definitely made out alright, but I think its naive of you to post this and expect that many folks will actually come forward here. For the ones that do probably already sold and got out of the game...

These days it's safe to hide the amount of Bitcoin you own. When you announce on public forum like this about your Bitcoin holdings. For the sake of privacy one should never disclose about his/her Bitcoin holdings to anyone especially on a public forum.

I hold enough amount in Bitcoin and with that I can live enjoy sometime without doing anything but I still believe it's something I would kept private and wouldn't tell anyone about it. I can surely say that the ones who adopted Bitcoin in its early days are the ones who hold quite good amounts even till this day.

I know a few of those have lost their wallet private keys and a few of those have sold their holding when they saw price increase of Bitcoin but there are still some holder who're holding it even till this day and surely they will not sell it until it reaches $1M in value.

A decent amount but not as big as with whale investors. Been accumulating especially during down times in the maarket with high hopes for good profit on this bull cycle. Quite having regrets that I sold most of my holdings on the previous bullrun but things already happened. I just keep in mind that it will never be too late to buy and invest to something that has big potential. Bitcoin have proven its reputation for countless times already. And I'm just waiting for further market confirmations to definitely buy more. Bullrun is yet to start I believe and there's more to hope for.
