in 2011, 1 bitcoin was worth around $20-$150 and you bought 100 bitcoins which will at least may was worth around $1000-$10000, this price range I took from investopedia.
so no one will buy something worth more than $1000 or even $100 and completely forget about it, and when price of 1 bitcoin reached $1000/BTC then also you were not able to remember that you had bought 100BTC.
interesting to read you story but most probably it seems fake.
and if you may luckily find the name of the site, it may surely will be closed and there domain will be on sell somewhere godaddy or something. and you found their wallet and your coins in it they will not going to pay you this much huge amount without asking for very solid proof.

The chances of you recovering this money is near to zero. I know sounds harsh but I don't want you to stress yourself out and waste your time on the money which is already gone.
There is no exchange that is still alive from 2011, so the login username/password doesn't even matter.

I thought so too. If it's even in MtGox which is the most popular at that time, his 100BTC is all gone also. You couldn't believe the coins from MtGox would be returned.
OP must haave been one of those believers of this technology but forgot to send the coins to his wallet with the private key.
Having 100BTC today will make you live comfortably thats for sure. If there is just a way to recover it, he would likely do everything even fight a legal battle for it. But good luck OP.

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 ?

Bitcoin that you bought back since 2011, and now you don’t know where it’s kept, and you planning to get the bitcoin back. I'm sorry, I don’t think you can get it back. There is no magic that can be performed for you to get your bitcoin back, and how sure are you that the place where you store it still exists? Just forget about the bitcoin and move on with your life. If you have some money, you can just purchase another bitcoin and make sure it’s properly secured this time around. If you don’t handle it carefully, I won’t be surprised if you end up losing it again.
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.

No, it’s not real, you can’t trace the wallet that the funds were sent to, and if you know the wallet, what do you intend to do with? Do you believe you can get the person, or do you believe you can contact the person in any way when there is no way to reach out to the person? Just take heart and accept your loss, you can’t get back the 10 BTC. There are many people who purchased bitcoin previously and lost access to their bitcoin, so you are not the only one who has experienced a similar situation.

Why only now, after 12 years, did you decide to find your 100 BTC? Have you been in prison all these years and you didn't have the opportunity to do this, or did you run out of money and decided to find your Bitcoins, which are currently worth $ 3.5 million?
In 2011, there were 2 exchanges: Bitcoin Market and Mt.Gox, but they are currently not working.

Your request is really unreasonable, what is certain is that you yourself know the exchange site or wallet you had when you bought Bitcoin in 2011.Even if you give away all the Bitcoins you have, no one knows except you.
What is certain is that exchanges or wallets have private keys or passwords, Obviously, if the site is known you can't take it, you don't even know the site anymore, let alone the key or password, you are really looking for a needle in a haystack here.
Are you suffering from amnesia, so you no longer remember your Bitcoin site, you are truly an unlucky human being.
November 08, 2023, 08:45:25 AM
In 2011, Bitcoin was still pretty new and there weren't many places to buy and sell it. From what I found, one of the first was Bitcoin Market, started by the member dwdollar. Then the infamous Mt. Gox showed up and got super popular for a while. After that in 2011, a bunch more exchanges popped up like VirWoX, Tradehill, Liberty Reserve, Bitstamp, BTC-e, Kraken, Blockchain.com, etc.
There were probably some others too but those were the main players getting into the exchange game early on.

Is this a true story? 100BTC is a very large amount for now. Did you just remember now that you bought 100btc? I don't know about bitcoin in 2011, but my prediction is that there weren't many exchanges at the time, so if this story is true then it shouldn't be difficult to find the exchange you're referring to. Even if such an exchange is found, I can't guarantee your bitcoins will still be there, especially if the exchange is centralized.
But sorry, I'm quite doubtful about your story
November 07, 2023, 01:51:03 PM
Why are you coming up with it now when you have made the investment in 2011? It has been 12 years now and you don't even remember the exchange and what do you expect from people so in my opinion it's hard to find those coins because you must have an address also where they were stored so give some reliable information to the members if you want real help from them.

It's been more than a century since you bought your 100BTC which is currently worth a lot. You mentioned the email name and passport number here my question is that the place from where the email is sent to you must have its own address. If you buy from a stock exchange or receive an SMS from that place, then the name of the stock exchange should be available. And it is possible to get all the statements from the bank that you have completed since the beginning if you try because the bank collects all the information of its customers. It is normal that the email may not contain purchase information. Many have already provided you with a lot of information to help you find it. The information you provided is very weak and btc recovery is almost impossible. I wish you get your btc back and keep trying. I’ve got only email which also was a login name and my passport information.

100bitcoins is a lot of money, why wait till now to find it? I’m sorry but the information you provided is not useful, there are a lot of exchanges ( scam or legit) you could have used in 2011. Maybe if you could tell us the name of the exchange, we may be able to help. If you still have the email, the name of the company should be in the email. Also you can write to your bank to request for your bank statements for that year. 100 bitcoins is a lot of money not to try all your options.
I think the only exchange that was operational as at 2011 was Mt Gox, which later went bankrupt. But to be honest, I find it very hard to believe the Op's story. Bitcoin didn't just explode suddenly, it started gaining momentum gradually, went through two halving and two bull seasons and the op did not realized that he had Bitcoin somewhere. Which makes me wonder where he was all this while... Was he in a cafe where there was no internet? I take it as one of those cock and bull stories we do see here.

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.

So, does your buddy even have any real evidence this 100 BTC thing is for real? Or could he just be messing with you? That is something to think about.
And even if it did happen, would it really show up on the blockchain? I kinda doubt it. Cause if he bought the bitcoin on some exchange site, that transactions just happen internally in the exchange's system. The blockchain is only gonna record when he deposited bitcoin in or withdrew the bitcoin out so trying to dig up some old 100 bitcoin buy is probably a dead end.
Id tell him to show you some real proof first before you go on some wild goose chase.

I remember there were several cases over the years where it was claimed that someone bought Bitcoin in those early years and the only information they had was an email and a password. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a single topic, and maybe someone else will be lucky.
True, there have been many similar cases in the past. Here are a few I found that might be useful to someone:

100 btc is a lot of quantity nowadays and Losing it is a sad thing. I don't know how you were so careless about BTC when you bought it and why you did not save the exchange name or password with yourself. The information you provided is not enough to find your lost BTC as there are hundreds of exchanges now and checking every exchange will be a difficult choice. I did not know how to help you without any information or clue but there is one possibility according to me and maybe it will work or not, checking the Bitcoin Blockchain but don't how you can do this. Another possible way is to go to your bank and tell them the whole scenario maybe they will help and find the 2011 bank statement for you.
November 06, 2023, 06:37:21 AM
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.
So you're lying when you post this

When asking for the community's help and suggestions you should be as transparent as possible especially when we are talking about vital information, the first thing that you need to do is to check if your friend is telling the truth, in the first place you already know the answer to this since you admitted that you are engaged in Cryptocurrency.You should be honest with your friend and tell him what to expect, these things really happen, because at the time we're losing Bitcoin we do not have the idea that the price will skyrocket.

What I found was this post from @RickDeckard with some interesting information :
Whether you're speaking true or not I figured out I could at least pinpoint you to websites that were around that time period and that allowed you to buy BTC (besides the well known Mt.Gox):
New Liberty Standard - Was up and running around October 2009[1]. From what I could gather the same user was the one that first proposed the symbol for BTC[2]. While the WayBackMachine shows a "Sign In" button at the main page[3] I don't think that the exchange was made in a way that you could buy BTC on demand (like Coinbase for example). According to this other archived page[4] you would have to send an e-mail stating how much BTC you wanted and then whoever was running the service would sent it to you. You don't mention this kind of system so I assume this wasn't the website you've used.
While investigating your inquiry I also found out that one of the earliest BTC transactions (5,050 BTC - sold for $5,02 at the time) was made by Martti Malmi[5] as a way to help this service get started[6] - This is what amazes me regarding BTC and it's history - whenever I have to go in these kind of "investigations" I always find fascinating details / events around them that show that the initial adopters really believed in what they were creating / doing.
Bitcoinmarket.com - Initially the idea came from dwdollar[7] at January 15th (2010) and then the website was up in March 17th of that same year[8]. WayBackMachine also shows a "Sign In" button at the main page[9] and perhaps this was the service you've used? It seems like this exchange was a bit more developed and you might be able to get your BTC there?
Sadly, if these were one of your options you won't be able to access them as the websites are now offline. Both users also seem to have been away from their accounts for a while now (NewLibertyStandard last login was at December 5th 2012 while dwdollar was at January 15th 2019).

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

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 ?

It's almost impossible and not impossible. What you can do is search on google for any crypto exchange running till 2011. You can also take help of chatGPT for this, maybe seeing the name or url of the exchange will remind you.I’ve got only email which also was a login name and my passport information.

But the big thing is that most of the exchanges of that time are now closed so doubt whether the exchange you are using is still active or not. You may not be able to access the site even if you find it. Maybe the sauce is off now. So your search is likely to be in vain now. Still you can try

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.
November 06, 2023, 04:29:33 AM
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?

Back in 2011, no exchanger was accepting cards, only wire transfers.
So you're lying.
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.

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.

In 2011 I’ve bought 100+ BTC on some cryptocurrency stock exchange and now I can not remember what was the site exactly.
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.hero member

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?

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.
November 05, 2023, 04:48:44 PM
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.
November 05, 2023, 04:44:31 PM
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.
November 05, 2023, 04:04:16 PM
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.
November 05, 2023, 03:59:39 PM
Back in 2011, no exchanger was accepting cards, only wire transfers.
So you're lying.

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.

Are you absolutely sure that it was a real event and not just a dream? You lack any tangible evidence, so maybe it was all just a figment of your imagination?
November 05, 2023, 02:51:29 PM
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.

This will be a very difficult case to solve, and some might not even want to give their two cents because they don’t see any possibility of you getting your coins back.
From what you have written it seems like you used a centralized exchange to buy your coin; but the issue here now is “are they still operating?” If you don’t remember the name of the exchange you used i think it’s because it was not a popular one and might have closed down their service and that’s one issue you’re more likely to face. And since it’s a centralized exchange there’s nothing you can do to reclaim your coins back if it my speculation turns out to be true.
This is another dead end;
You remember the popular phrase ”not your key, not your coin”? that’s what best explains this situation. It will be impossible to analyze the transaction since it was never made because you purchase it in your cex account and all that was displayed in your account were just number not real bitcoin so unless you moved it to your non-custodial wallet you won’t be able to get anything by analyzing the blockchain chain.
And aside from that; if your come across a transaction with 100+ bitcoins it does not automatically mean that’s your transaction, there is a high probability of people transacting that amount since the value was not substantial back then so this is also another dead end.
This reward is quite enticing with the current price of 1BTC but until you come up with a better lead on this case I’m afraid nothing can be done for you.

I don't think that you'll ever recover that. If it's a real thing that you've purchased 100 bitcoins on 2011 and you've got no information, then there's no one that can help you at all.
And even if there's an information and you have bought that in an exchange then most likely it's no longer existing now.

100bitcoins is a lot of money, why wait till now to find it? I’m sorry but the information you provided is not useful, there are a lot of exchanges ( scam or legit) you could have used in 2011. Maybe if you could tell us the name of the exchange, we may be able to help. If you still have the email, the name of the company should be in the email. Also you can write to your bank to request for your bank statements for that year. 100 bitcoins is a lot of money not to try all your options.

In 2011 I’ve bought 100+ BTC on some cryptocurrency stock exchange and now I can not remember what was the site exactly.
Since you didn't even indicate which service it could be, it isn't straightforward for someone to investigate this for you.
If the transaction dates from 2011, and currently there are not many currently active services/exchanges that date from that time. As one of the possibilities, you can try to reset the password on all exchanges from that time. For example, go to https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ and check one by one which was registered on or before 2011.
Another thing you can try is to at least find out what your address is. If you remember the exact amount of Bitcoin you had there and the approximate date when the transaction took place, look at this list List of all Bitcoin addresses ever used - weekly updates work again!
Everything seems quite laborious and a lot of manual work, but if it is the amount you mention, it would be worth a try.
November 05, 2023, 02:21:48 PM
Are you dreaming or what??
How do you think someone will restore a bitcoin from a site you knows not their names, okay even as that I believe you can go to your bank to back date to 2011 to see the site you bought such huge amount of bitcoin. But to tell you the truth, there is no way to get back such amount of bitcoin will be possible because even if is possible I think the exchange has collapse and the fund is gone so don't bother yourself stressing to recover lost btc.

You might want to start with your bank to see if they can dig up all transactions that happened on your account in 2011..which might attract a fee with some banks if this is possible , btw if you account has internet banking access have you tried to check for these records which should be a free service afaik ??
If step 1 is a success, hope this platform you used to buy your Bitcoins is still in existence because some platforms have shutdown in the last 10+ yeas like the likes of localbitcoins etc. Just hope this won't be a deadened after all the effort being put..

I think what you seek is not very possible. If you had transferred those coins to a self-custodial wallet, then it would have been easy to track the wallet, but you left the coin on that exchange, and even if it was sent to a different wallet, we cannot tell if it was your bitcoin because there could be other people, many people who bought 100 bitcoins that same period, and they could have sent them to some self-wallet too.
November 05, 2023, 01:48:44 PM
The forum is great for peeking at the old days since threads that time are still alive and may serve a clue.
But the thing is, if it's 2011, the exchange is highly likely to be defunct now with MIA owners or with no backup information from that time and could pose a problem when trying to prove you own what you claim to own. It's also safe to assume owners would prefer not to refund anything back. Recovery chances seems extremely low.

This is more like an impossible situation since you don't even know the name of the exchange. I don't know how someone will analyse rhe blockchain networks to find 100 BTC transaction in 2011 since trades on CEX is not broadcasted on the network. I’ve got only email which also was a login name and my passport information.

The best you can do is to check which exchanges were operational in 2011 and those legally available in your country. When you find that out, try the forget password option and they will send you password recovery link to your email if you have account with them. Hopefully your BTC will be there.
