I bought Bitcoin like 4 years ago but forgot where

[Huasosky]

So i been in pain since i notice how much Bitcoin has grown because i bought some like 4 or 5 years ago, since that i've change email, bank and algorithm for my passwords. Is there any way i can track down wich companies where selling bitcoin on that time? or any way to maybe see that little investemt again?

Thank you.

If you can get access to the email you used back then, then maybe, if there's no way to get that email back then your chances are almost zero.

 

Usually accounts on exchanges are linked to the email address that you used to create the account.

maybe if you have your browser history from then

 

this is why its always recommended to have a back-up but if you can't trace your steps then i can't help

The bitcoins needed to be transfered to a wallet... as long as you got the wallet you are good to go. If you never had a digital wallet, then the question is, where did the bitcoin you bought go to.

has always been like that, cuz i dont remember having a digital wallet :c... maybe i just got scammed or maybe it was sort of 3 step transaction where bitcoin was just a convertion value? :C... it wasnt much money then, but it would be a nice amount now :C

to receive and spend bitcoin you need a digital wallet. 

 

If you didn't have one that time, the chances your money is gone are above 100% in my opinion.

 

They, if not scamming, would have asked you for an existing wallet ID to deposit the bitcoin to.

Guess on the site that sold it to you and look for "forgot login information"?

 

I can imagine that expecting someone to hold your information isn't going to end well.  Hell I couldn't even retrieve my digital movie collection because the website I redeemed all of the codes on lost record of it, I finally got logged back in and had to go through support and they asked me to provide the codes for the supposedly "lost" movie collection.  Of course I had thrown them away.

 

I wish you the best

The main problem here is that he doesn't remember where he bought the BTC. That's why I mentioned trying to get bac in his old emails.

 

But when emails are left alone for years, the content can get lost, which seems is what happened here.

 

 

@Huasosky if all the emails are gone, then chances are the BTC you bought are also, because unless you find that exchange again, you're out of luck sadly!

 

EDIT: Keep looking at this old email for the next few months, chances are, if the exchange still exists and they still have your account, they might send you notifications (but that's not guarantied), so keep and eye on it and look at the spam folder also. You never know, you might get luck!
