Topic: How many Bitcoins do you own or have you collected until now? - page 5. (Read 953 times)

I don’t want to disclose my current holdings since it will just makes me a potential target to hacker/scammer and I hope no one will declare their actual holdings here for safety purposes. The highest accumulation of Bitcoin that I achieved is around 5BTC when bounty campaigns is still profitable. I slowly unload it when 2017 & 2021 pump was occurred but I still left certain percentage for FOMO holdings.

I think the example on OP is back to the time when Bitcoin value is still low. People back then still doesn’t feel any sense of security because the amount is still small while they are still promoting mass adoption for Bitcoin buy showing that they are persistent on accumulating.

This is the same question that someone you are introducing Bitcoin to will ask, and the rule says...tell no one how many bitcoin that you have.  

Bitcoin was very cheap way back and people having those significant amount of bitcoin were those that saw a great potential in bitcoin. I don't think that they will be able to hodli for long because they would have been carried away by the huge profit from their bitcoin and would have sold to cash out. Who knows maybe some of them are still holding theirs.

I have not accumulated enough Bitcoin, so I am still buying and will not sell, so that in ten years time when bitcoin price will be fucking high, those who didn't buy at this current price will say that I am lucky to buy now. There is nothing like luck, it was all about trust and taking risk.

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.

It's always better to not share even estimate amount of your funds in the internet. Don't become a target for hackers
(despite of it im still share my investments time to time...)

The question you asked is certainly a good question, but it is a secret that no one in the right brain at least wants to tell anyone who owns how many bitcoins. These are personal matters and should not be discussed. Keeping bitcoins is challenging work. I'm investing myself slowly, but whenever I need it on the phone and use it in my daily work, I don't take it out at once because I always have some investment in it I invest in bitcoins, and I love this Investing in Bitcoin I got nothing like that from anywhere else this bitcoin stood with my dream at one time though it was with my own investment money it gave me a good amount of profit. I don't have BTC, but I am investing in Bitcoin and hope to get more in the future.

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.

Nice try FBI!

We all can answer this question indirectly, not directly on how many bitcoins we have 

They either sold their bitcoins at cheap prices, lost their bitcoins by did not make back up, lost back up or other reasons. They possibly were regretful with lost bitcoins by their decisions or mistakes and they changed to be scammers.

Forum have Donators, VIP members turn to scammers and I guess one of reasons is because they were regretful with lost fortune, then wanted to get new fortune through scam efforts.

Wealth in society change hands from old generations to young generations. This is truth and will remain true with appearance of blockchain technology, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and in future, with more advanced discoveries, innovations, wealth distribution will continue to our generation to future generations.

Nobody is foolish enough to answer this question honestly.

Those who had collected coins back when bitcoin was in three digits have mostly sold and moved on but only being bitter at their past choices now if they are alive and kicking.

Much of the next generation is contemplating whether the buy or not buy. My take is to keep buying whenever the opportunity strikes and keep increasing that number but dont tell anyone about it.

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.

Yes it is privacy, I am not forcing to say how much you or anyone else says bitcoin ownership.
But in the past, since I was on the forum, maybe I could get about 10 BTC easily and it kept growing until I finally sold it at ATH 2017.

Most of them had sold it at that time at a price that they thought was quite expensive.
But we also don't know, whether they still keep it or not.
If you learn from Davinci Jeremie who bought Bitcoin below $1 in 2011, just like the old thread posted and sold it in the 2022-2023 period,
he is already a billionaire now. It was the strength of the Diamond Hand.

I already know that, the title is just a bait to get people to react.
No one will reveal their current Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin is very expensive.
But in the past it has become a common thing because the price is still very cheap.

Almost everyone would say so, and I also assumed to buy Bitcoin when it first came out and hold it for the long term, but believe it or not, most of them won't be able to hold it for the long term unless they forget or actually have a target for a long time.

Nothing can go back in time, what can be done now is how you get started and start buying Bitcoin gradually.
Whether you can hold it for the next 10 years or not, this is just an option to start investing in Bitcoin.

Collecting bitcoins from signature campaigns is a pretty good way to go, as long as you still have income other than signatures.

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.

I don't have enough bitcoin; in fact,  what I hold might even be someone's daily spending, and its worth is not even up to what I could be proud of right now.


Those who were still into bitcoin from that time until now might still be holding, or some might have sold out during the last bull run that took bitcon to $60k+ and above, which was the first time that price was reached.

Unfortunately we can't repeat that time and now there is no way to collect bitcoins if you don't have money, except by joining sigcam which pays btc and even then there is a fairly limited value.

Most people must have sold the bitcoins they had at that time and it is very unfortunate because they don't know the long-term prospects which are quite promising. If at that time people easily got bitcoins and still hold them until now, then their wealth is quite high. There is no point in regretting because we never know what the future will be like and our task today is only to try to collect as much as possible.

Maybe no one dares to say how many bitcoins they have because it is in line with anonymous. But for me not too much and maybe trying to keep buying with the existing financial ability. For yourself have you passed 2 or 3 bitcoins now?

I have come across discussions like this in several social networks but one thing is common, those who had bitcoin 100+ back 2011 all ended up in regrets, even here in the forum must of this people may not even have any bitcoin at this point. It has now become a big deal to accumulate at least 1BTC even with our convictions about bitcoin.

Personally, I don't know if Not Enough is an accurate word to use in my case but for sure I'm far back in my hodlings. If there is another word that can express that I'm not holding enough I would have preferred to use it because truly I'm broke in bitcoin.

At each moment our chances of owning bitcoins are quite different, and things in the past happened to be the answer to everything easily, I also earned bitcoins very easily before with just the advertising, but I couldn't keep it because at that time there wasn't much awareness of this field and I was more skeptical about bitcoin than I believed it would become a valuable asset in the future.

And that lesson helped me realize the trust that needs to be nurtured, and not regret too much about what happened because it can also come back and advise me to hold on to the bitcoin I have, but in the present and in the future, I really believe in bitcoins and accumulating them from small insignificant.

If we talks about 2016, it was an easy way to accumulate many satoshis. I remember those days as I tried to get Bitcoin from the faucet. That was memorable for me and I am sure that many people who were there that year will have the same experience.

However, as the years go by, it will be difficult to accumulate more Bitcoin. Bitcoin price increase and we must allocates more money to buy Bitcoin. But for those people who already had a good experienced before, they will still buy Bitcoin and hold it.

But I will not tells how many Bitcoin I have until now. That is my secret and only me that will knows for sure. I will still buy more Bitcoin because Bitcoin can helps me to make a big profit in the future.

So far, I'm not yet on my goal so I can be comfortable not working for a year in my life but I'm almost getting to that point now so I'm not that rushed or frantic about where to get the money that I'm going to put into bitcoin but I'm consistently invested through DCA so I'm well enough. Really cool to see conversations like that where they're so casual about the price of bitcoin and that 100 is such a normal amount that it's so awesome that you'd wish you were there at that time but then I remember that probably 10 years or more from now, 0.001 would be a crazy number for other people too because bitcoin is expected to go up in the long-term so I'm happy that I'm not too late and that I can still get to the possibility that I'd make a lot of money out of profit from hodling my bitcoin even if the price of one is already in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Yeah, those who have hundreds of even thousands of BTC are early adopters, but I believed a few of  them really stay in the market up to this point. Maybe when they have doubled their money, they sold it and never come back.

But that is the advantage of being early in the game, not just in Bitcoin but in any other technologies.

As for the question, not sure if everyone here will answer that, for sure we want to remain anonymous and will not tell how much or how big our wallet are.

@taufik123, you are right to say that accumulating 1 Bitcoin was very easy in 2016 and years back before 2016 too but it is not easy right now to even get a half of Bitcoin because of how expensive the coin have become.
From signature campaign, I have accumulate Bitcoin that worth $80+ (0.001244 Bitcoin)and from my personal investment I have invested only a small amount  .

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.
