In 2011 I’ve bought 100+ BTC on some cryptocurrency stock exchange and now I can not remember what was the site exactly.
I’ve got only email which also was a login name and my passport information.
I’ve made a purchase using my credit card but it is impossible to get a bank statement for the year 2011 now.
There is no information about this purchase on my email also.
Does anybody have any idea how to find out what was the site and where the BTC now ?
Maybe it is possible to analyse all the Bitcoin blockchain blocks for feb.-march.2011 and to select those who contains the sums near to 100 BTC ? And then we can try to find the owner of the bitcoin adress where the funds were transfered to... Is it real ?
The reward of 10 BTC will be distributed in case we find this BTC.

This is hard task to do especially if you forget all the important details needed. Maybe try to remember first what are the exchange exist on year 2011 so that you can start digging them up then try to find some details to contact your owners and claim your hidden BTC their.

But I doubt you can get that even if you remember what exchange it is since first maybe those exchange has been down for long time and owners will not answer your claims because if they look at the current rate for sure its a lot so refunding those balances will be impossible for them to provide. For now its so hard to get what you lose for past years since you didn't even remember where you lose it.

So maybe try to move on from this since maybe your just giving yourself a big stress since for now recovering that amount is impossible to happen.

The number of services from back then are next to none. It sounds like it could have been BitInstant but they got shut down in like 2013.

Your best bet is to contact your bank and see if they have records that far back but I think that is going to be difficult.

Best of luck.

If truly you still got email then you should have the name of the centralized exchange and it's possible that the exchange is already not working again because most crypto exchange from 2011 are all down today, there is no way to get your Bitcoin back because it's too far in the past and also it's a centralized platform, a place that's never suited for keeping Bitcoin or any digital assets.

You are not the only person that have lost access to their Bitcoin, just take this is a big lesson and try to use anything for what its truly created for, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset, the last place you want to keep them is in the hands of any crypto exchanges, unfortunately, many people don't like reading the whitepaper, they just stumble on something and start liking it but not willing to understand it perfectly.

If you really want to know how I feel about your story I don't believe it, because if you really buy those Bitcoin you should know how much it worth in a year later, even in 2015 a 100 pieces of Bitcoin you bought in 2011 would have worth a lot, how come you don't sell already and instead decided to leave everything in care of a crypto exchange?

Thanks everybody for their answers and advises. I understand the story looks a bit unreal. But this is for real. This BTC where bought by my friend in 2011. Hi is rather far from cryptocurrency and computers at all. Then he've lost a paper with login and password and thought it was over.. Recently, he accidentally told me about this case, because he found out that I am engaged in cryptocurrencies. Of course, I also don't really believe that it will be possible to find these bitcoins, but just in case, I decided to ask for help from the community.

Really? Telling another story now?

This is complete different from your original statement. Stop wasting our time.
I don't see the point of the story here at the moment... Other than just a bad troll that as many people as possible respond to?

Back in 2011, no exchanger was accepting cards, only wire transfers.

So you're lying.

Or a bad memory, which may be confused in the year. Although I think it is more likely that he is lying. We had a similar case on my local forum of someone saying they had lost access to bitcoins they had bought over 15 years ago. When I told him that this was impossible he insisted that he was not lying, that he bought them at $70 each bitcoin more than 15 years ago. In that case it could be a bad memory.

You just know that has 100 BTC today, and I just confusing, why you don't ask it together with your wealth 13 trillion $ a year ago?. I just think if you have something bug in your memory. because the information you provided is incomplete and tends to be biased. Some of the post above tell if that time there isn't an exchange accepted for a credit card, which I think, if your story is true, you might be cheated, and no more BTC there. excepting if you move it to a Bitcoin core wallet which may still be recoverable using wallet.dat, and we are here can be easily to explain how to recovery step if you have your own bitcoin key.

He provided a tempting amount for the person who can find the CEX where he saved the BTC, so he's not too concerned about hunting for it himself because he'll be paying this much for the person who finds the exchange.

, and how do you intend to know the particular exchange it was, way back in 2011? You're going to use some mystical power or something?

OP, forgot about Bitcoin since 2011 till now; despite all the high price of Bitcoin, it's just now he is realizing he had 100 Bitcoin somewhere; doesn't that even sound like a joke in the first place? Was he asleep the other year?

The information you're providing is insufficient to help you recover your BTC. This information makes it extremely difficult to assist you in obtaining the result you want. If this is the amount of BTC you owned that year, you should have additional data that will lead you there. But how come you simply awoke from a deep slumber and suddenly remember this BTC? You asked someplace else outside the forum and couldn't find anyone to assist you in getting it back? I'm just amazed at how you feel about it now and want it after all these years.

I think it's only through some kind of sorcery power that
can reveal this to you. Common, you were the one who bought the bitcoin on whatever exchange you claimed to, so how can someone else on this forum be able to tell you the exchange where you bought the coin?

We are all aware that this is simply impossible to track unless further information is available. He provided a tempting amount for the person who can find the CEX where he saved the BTC, so he's not too concerned about hunting for it himself because he'll be paying this much for the person who finds the exchange.

Can you please explain first how you remember it now, did you just awake from a coma or do you have Alzheimer's and you just remember this thing, It was already 12 years ago, and there are so many obstacles to recovering those Bitcoin and even if you offer 50% of that amount I don't think anyone here can help you this is like looking for a needle in a haystack based on the information you provided.

Even if you find the owner of those Bitcoin now, if he still owns them, do you think he will send them back to you, finding out those Bitcoins is a long shot much more getting back those Bitcoin, why not try to learn how to move on instead of trying to recover these Bitcoins you've loss, dot you worry you're not alone on this.

Shouldn't this email tell you what you are looking for? Since you have bought your BTC way back 2011, it is possible that the exchange had already shutdown. If it is still up there is a huge possibility that it would be Bitstamp since it is the oldest exchange operating so far.

Bitstamp was founded 2011, the same year you bought your BTC. So might try your luck on this.

Lolz Op, how possible do you think or expect someone here to have an idea of the site when you in particular were the one that carried out this transaction in 2011 and you could no longer recall vividly how and which site it was.

A lot of things have happened all these years and possibly even the site may no longer exist and have gone out of business due to unknown reasons, the chances of you recovering these funds are very tiny as you don't own the keys to the wallet, 100 BTC is not a penny now, is worth huge amount of money now and keeping it in such a site you don't control till date, the possibility of them even getting rid of your account on their platform if they still exist is high and maybe thinking you are no longer alive.

Rewards don't matter, but I wish you to recover your assets. First, try to convince your bank about your statement, where you may find the data where you bought the bitcoin. And we aren't sure if the exchange where you bought your bitcoin still exists. Search Google to see which exchanges were active during your purchase year and try to login. Use the forget password everywhere, and you may get mail. Without a proper clue, it's impossible to recover your bitcoin.

This I would say is up to the task of one doing a bounty. How come for 11 years you never bothered about your asset in held on a by third party exchange. I believe they would be sending you messages as the volume of BTC held in their custody is not anyways small. You should have been receiving emails from them as well reminding you of your assets if that is possible. I see no reasons why you should neglect your asset in such a way. Is it now that it means so much a huge amount of money that is when you would remember it. I think you should do a search through your mail box back date to 2011 trace sequentially mail for mail but it would take up your time only if you are really ready to pay the sacrifice to do so because no other person can do such for you only you as you have your email details yourself and I don't think it can be traced that easy on bitcoin blockchain so easily as there are millions of transactions already recorded so it would be very challenging to do.

Sorry to disappoint you but you won't be able to gain access to your purchased Bitcoin with such limited information. You don't have any information about your wallet address and you don't even remember the name of the exchange via which you have purchased your Bitcoin. Just forget about your Bitcoin my friend, they might be resting in peace and the owner of the exchange might have used those to enjoy some years of his life.

If you bought this Bitcoin year 2011 the only exchange that I know is Mt. Gox which is already long gone.
However, the site is accessible and they mention that they are going to refund users funds.

If I'm right I don't know if you can get your refund because they always postponed the refund date according to this article below they going to refund users last March but I never heard of someone successfully gets refunded. Now the Mt. Gox site has a notice that the lump sum Repayment will start from October 31, 2023 until 2024.

Hey I feel sorry if this is real but it will be almost impossible be try and find the exchange because most probably they would have shit down long time ago and try to check if you could find any other email about this transaction because whenever we make any purchase we are notified through email as well hence that would be only last hope in case if the exchange is still operational. But man how can someone forget which exchange he/she has purchase over 100 Bitcoins, try listing down the exchanges which were operational back in 2011 and try your luck with all those exchanges if they are active, in case if you are unable to find it then move on as nothing much can be done. Atleast for further investment try having an Excel tracker for all your investments and credentials and also a handwritten diary and keep it safe just in case life gives you one more opportunity like this.

You registered on the forum for more than a year now, but only though to ask now about a 100BTC stash that has been lost for over11 years? I call bullshit on your story.

If it is true that you bought that amount of Bitcoin and had them on a centralized exchange they are all but lost now cause the exchange should have closed down already and the owners will have moved whatever amount o bitcoin was stored in them.
