I always wondered this (Bitcoin Question) (self.Buttcoin)

XoXFaby が 投稿

In the beginning wasn't it super easy to mine Bitcoin? Like people got a buttload? Are those people just rich now cause they got lucky and held a bunch of them or am I missing something? I figured someone here might be able to answer this.

I think the noble answer is that if these people sold out they would crash the economy they so painstakingly created.

But I'd imagine more realistically a lot of the wallets were lost. I started mining dogecoin when they weren't worth anything but tipping on reddit and I'm sure I lost a ton of them not backing up wallets.

All of them yeah but I mean, if I held say 1000 Bitcoin right now, which I assume is something I could've gotten back then, would I be able to cash it out?

There is evidence that Satoshi himself mined 1 million BTC or more in those early days. His coins have not moved since then.

When this table was created (after block 400'000), there are 109 addresses that have 10'000 BTC (4.5 million USD), each. Most of those addresses must have been filled in 2013 or earlier, when the price was 10 USD/BTC or less. So each owner of one of those addresses probably spent less than 100'000 USD and now own bitcoins worth 4.5 million USD

This is a good question.

Pretty much. The time to get into Bitcoin if you wanted to win at an asset bubble was 2009.

Some are, some of the b"big names" you hear today had thousands of coins.

The "10000 bitcoin pizza" story for example, just shows how little they were worth.

Thing was, they either had to hodl them, or spend them.
