In 2010, you came across a site that was giving away bitcoins. The site said it was free money so you signed up. You were logging in to figure out how it was money but couldn't. The last time you logged in you had more than 100 bitcoins. Later you forgot about the site until 2017 when a ponzi was advertising Bitcoin. Bitcoin? The name rang a bell and you stated hearing stories. You remembered you must have many bitcoins somewhere but you can't even remember the name of the site. How would you recover your BTC?

Name of the website doesn't matter in any way. According to what you said (in imaginary) you had bitcoins on website's account which are just numbers before withdraw.
All you can do is search for websites and if you really search, you may find url and then put that url on web.archive.org and the best you can do is to find website's contact page (email of owner) but more likely it will be email with domain's name and even your attempt to contact owner will fail. Even if you contact, what do you think, will he give a f*** to what you say?
To make it easier for you, you can't make person from dead to alive, so the same applies to your bitcoins.

And even if you could somehow contact the owner of that website that used to store your coins there is no guarantee either that they are still holding those coins and even if they are what makes anyone think that they would be very happy to give away 100 bitcoins now that they are so valuable? While the scenario is not real and it is just an imaginary one it is important for one reason, you need to be the one that store your coins if you do not then you are relying on someone else to do it for you and in this market that is a mistake.

Bitcoin was supposed to give us freedom but with freedom comes responsibility and you cannot let anyone store your bitcoins for long and expect to not lose those coins.

I don't think there is a way to recover your bitcoin. because most likely the website has taken over the coin because you are not active on the website and that has been happening for quite a while. You also forgot about the registration email and password so I think it's impossible to access your bitcoin.
we can make this story a lesson that we must always store and remember well our keywords and wallets or the sites we use to store our bitcoins. and I suggest if making long-term investments we should save our bitcoin in a hardware wallet.

OP probably made a mistake there and this should be a lesson to him the next time. And trying to remember or recover your lost account on a site is a kind of frustrating if you don't have a single clue where to start. I might have quit it since I don't even remember a single name for username and password. This is a lesson learn mistakes besides 2010 is not so famous about Bitcoin during that day.

When I lost my assets with increase price down I only hold and waiting when altcoin assets back to higher price and give profit for me, I think always have chance to see our assets have higher price later but waiting is not easy, mus ready more than fours weeks come and see our altcoin assets have higher price.

You must be so lucky if you can log in to the site and found that 100 bitcoin is still there and you can be able to withdraw the bitcoin because 7 years doesn't give a guarantee for one site can online. I wonder how you would get into the right website if you don't remember the name of the website, and I think you cannot recover your bitcoin if that is the case.

Perhaps, you should forget it because that is happening for a long time ago. If you still want to search for your bitcoin on that site, you should check at your computer, open one by one of every file in your computer, and that will need time to find the file. But I am not sure that you can find the name of the site as you forget the name of the site.

If you were able to buy 100 BTC it had to be before 2013 or earlier than that. My logic is simple. In 2013 Bitcoin was worth $300 for most of the year and later it was only more and more expensive. 100 bitcoin in 2013 would be at least 30k USD so nobody would forget that kind of money.
If you forgot about it after leaving it on some site that site was a pool or blockchain.com wallet, maybe an exchange but there were almost no exchanges at that time and BitcoinMarket and MtGox are long gone. Maybe you can remind yourself if it was an exchange or a pool at least. If you bought or earned the coins.

this is what I think. even when you remember a site that stores 100 bitcoin that you own, it doesn't guarantee whether the 100 bitcoin still exists or not. in this case, so many sites have turned into scams, even most of them are popular sites. however, you can search for sites that offer free bitcoin, or old exchangers on search engines, so you might be able to remember the name. but, don't get your hopes up with it.

2010 is quite old unless that site still operates despite all these years, all those bitcoins are probably lost. There is little to no chance that the website is still up, however you could always try. In the event that you found out it is still open, your best bet is to try and make use of the forget password option. Other websites also offer feature to find lost account's username in case you already forgot your username, however that's highly unlikely.

It's impossible to recover because every site will definitely make regular changes to its website data.
Better to find another way to get it again somewhere else than to spend the time to recover it. Wink

When my assets investment have lower price I think holding is best way how to keep safety and get profit later, I think many investor keep patient waiting when their assets back to higher price, I don't care about how lower price drop of my assets by I keep holding my assets until price back to higher and get profit again.

I think its impossible to recover that because you don't even know what the site is. Or maybe for a long time you forgot also your email there i think you can not recover it. You need first remember what site it is and the second one remember what email you used when signing up there and if the email are active.
If you remember all that you can easily recover that bitcoin but once you forget one of then i told you its not easy to recover it.

It's quite difficult to solve this kind of problem as it's a matter of memory loss while losing your bitcoins that worth's almost a million dollar base on the current price but more than a million dollars last 2017.

If I were in this kind of scenario, I will do everything to recover it. First, I will check whether the computer that I use is still there and dig up it's history in case it is still there. Or I will hire some tech addict to do the digging and will give a huge reward if they can recover it.

How can I forget such big amount of money, and I'm sure I have so many back-up of my wallet that time. Well, this is a situational example and it is given that we should protect our money to anyone despite of limited knowledge about of bitcoin. Mate, if you have big amount of bitcoin like that then you must use all the top setting to secured that wallet, and if you forget any of your private keys then it will be hard for you to recover it and the worst scenario is that, your bitcoin is totally gone now.

If the cause is due to forgetting the website, then the possibility to get back the Bitcoin that you have will be very small. And what's more if you forget the email and password you used at the time, then you can be sure you can't get your Bitcoin back.

Unless you have private keys on a Bitcoin wallet in 2010, you can still recover even though of course it takes a long time with blockchain integration in your wallet from 2010 to the present.

there was one guy on the past that earned alot of bitcoin and he stored the private key and his wallet on his old computer but he have no idea that bitcoin will be worth so much now . after knowing the price pumped up , he rush on his basement to find the old computer but he find out that he thrown in away on the garbage . that scenario is verry simillar to us . i think we can do anything just to recover those old bitcoins that we have left out but as long as it is still recoverable .

That case was very famous as well and it is a lesson for all of us, always have backups of your most important information, that way if one of you backups fail then you have nothing to worry about it since you can still recover your coins, and about this hypothetical case this should be a lesson for all of us as well, you need to store your coins locally, I know this can be difficult since you will need to take many steps to secure your coins but when you listen to stories like these you realize you have no other option.

If you store your coins in an online wallet and that site disappears then most likely you will never recover them.

I think it's better if you forget it because the site just doesn't remember you then how you can access it. and that has been happening for 9 years. I think even though you finally remember the site and also the password is not necessarily your bitcoin there. because currently bitcoin is very valuable it is possible that the site owner has taken your bitcoin. so I suggest it's better to forget and there's no point in continuing to think about something that has already been lost.

What? What will I do? The growth of BTC depends on its necessity. Blokchain technology is gaining worldwide attention. For me, some BTC and keeping it for a long time is a pleasure!

I see your comment to the OP's post is quite far from the topic, you can't recover bitcoin through explaining how blockchain technology is becoming eminent.

Going back to the topic, the chances that you can recover bitcoin through faucets is pretty low, most of the time, faucets are becoming obsolete that already don't have funds to provide as a result, they close their sites. If that happens, all your bitcoins stored in that even if you have an account will be useless.
