Okay.. guys.. I don't make up this story.. please calm down..
I just want to make sure before I spend thousands of dollars for retriving data from old hdd.
If I could retrieve this so called "private key" or whatever they emailed me, I probably be able to restore old bitcoin and could cashing it out. Am I correct?
I couldn't remember exact purchased date but I do remember that they opened bitcoin exchange market and I could saw bitcoin chart just after I bought it.
I remember bitcoin price jumped to nearly $1000 after they open exchange.
I just want to make sure the old bitcoin has value.
Okay we believe you it's your story, by the way, and we have no way to not believe it. But let us get this straight to the point because if you are saying the bitcoin you bought was from 2007 then we would say don't spend thousands of it just to retrieve the data because the real circulating Bitcoin in the present has been developed later in the year 2009.
If you can retrieve the private key of it or it was email on you then it will be all yours, yes you can decide what to do with it. The question is, are you sure that it was really the Bitcoin thing of the present or does the funds corresponding to that address hasn't move yet? I think there's no old Bitcoin my friend. If you think that it reached $1k when you've bought it or have emailed on you, whatsoever, then you might be wrong to think it was the year 2007 because the very first record that Bitcoin reach a thousand dollars was only in the year 2013.
