Hello all, I am trying to track a bitcoin purchase I made in 2009, I no longer have the pc I used, I wrote the details on some paper and stored it but we've moved house a few times and it might have gone missing, I have looked on every hard drive, flash drive, cd, dvd etc but to no avail so far.
I bought it off a forum post but I can't remember which forum. Did anyone sell bitcoin in 2009 and if so which forums did you use, I am trying to retrace my steps in the hope it jogs my memory, I've only been looking for the last 2 years 🤣 so I don't mind looking for another 2 years.
Cheers
When you bought Bitcoin in 2009 you should have collected important papers and kept them. But in 2009 the value of Bitcoin was not so much that you did not take care of it and lost the important papers where you left them. but since you said you have moved your house from one place to another several times, I think you might not be able to find your important papers. If you don't look for your lost papers but search which forum you bought them from you might find them. Your complete steps will definitely require you to work harder so you can rest assured that you can always find success.
Didn't want to disappoint the OP but from what he recounted, I don't think he'll stand a chance of getting that bitcoin back. Although it is tough to buy bitcoin now compared to 10 years ago because the price has increased by thousands of percent, but I think instead of wasting time searching in vain, he should use his time to work and accumulate bitcoins from scratch. He was not the only one who threw his bitcoins in the past, a lot of people also didn't appreciate bitcoin at the time, and they spent a lot of time and money looking for it when it was of high value. But so far, I have not heard of anyone succeeding in finding their bitcoins.
