I'm proud of you, but you shouldn't mention that you own large amounts of Bitcoin. People will cut off your fingers to get their hands on your money: https://x.com/lopp/status/1882425114177999125

I can write that I have 333 BTC or any other number that comes to mind, but it will still be just a made-up story - just like yours. If for some reason (although I don't see why) you want to prove that you have 33 BTC in your possession, then sign a message from your BTC address where you keep them.

That's wonderful!

Having said that, make sure you haven't doxxed yourself on this account - there are horror stories of people getting kidnapped and tortured for their BTC.

I have seen so much trolling and so much lying on the forums over the years that I don't believe it. Why are you announcing it as celebrating 33 bitcoins? Why not when you reached 10, or 21?


This is basically what I think too. Besides the fact that if I had reached 33 bitcoins today the last thing I would think of is ‘celebrating’ on this forum.

You claim to have 33 bitcoins and ask for money in exchange for signing a message? I don't understand that kind of humor...

One day I will tell the entire forum that I have 1,337 bitcoins

You don't rant about your finances especially when you want to call numbers in your rant. If you have actually achieved your goal congratulations to you but this sort of information about some specific you pointed out aren't important.

But what would have been important is for you to go deeper in the scams you experienced so that someone here can avoid that sort of scam in the future.

Truth is worth nothing, when you own BTC you don't want approvals of other, i wrote this post to celebrate and share my milestone.

Signing a message from my wallet, requires some effort.

So unless you bet on it 5000$ or more, if m caught lying everyone will flag me as spam, if i won you send me the money after i sign message, otherwise i am happy in my bed on Saturday afternoon.

Never trust your friends with bitcoin, never sell your bitcoins to help someone out - even if they say they gonna payback next day !


Another scam is using non famous exchange, a local Indonesian exchange shut its operations and never repayed me.

Another thing is i invested 20+ BTC into a scam project, named refereum.com and i lost about 95% on that investment

It would seem you really haven't learned your lesson by announcing that you've got 33+ bitcoin ( I don't believe you anyhow ).

Well, I do not believe it is impossible for an individual to own that many bitcoins, but coming out publicly to disclose how much you own is not a wise thing to do. There have been many stories circulating on the internet about criminal attempts on bitcoiners and other crypto enthusiasts, and this happens partly because of actions like the one OP just exhibited.

Owning 33+ bitcoins is a big deal, but nobody really cares except you and thieves who would stop at nothing to steal all or part of the money. So be wise and try not to be a victim. Keep your excitement to yourself, I repeat, nobody really cares.

It is not impossible, there are folks at there that have such amount and even more than 33 BTC in their portfolio,  we can't actually tell if op truly have such amount of BTC or not . Because in all the numbers why 33 , so I won't waste my time trying to figure out if op lying or not.

The only thing I will say is that, op try to focus more on privacy because saying the amount of BTC stash you have in public ain't safe at all even telling it to your love once ain't safe either so try and focus on privacy too, you will definitely need it aslong you are in this space .
