The painter's case is one of the few exceptional cases we've seen about accidental Bitcoin hodlers who profited. There are cases of those who lost their wallets or couldn't remember where they kept their seedphrases or PKey and as such lost every access to their wealth. However, why would the painter still want to locate the man who sent her the Bitcoin is what doesn't make sense to me. She ought to silently and quietly bask in the euphoria of her new found wealth and not expose herself.

I guess she's that just thankful and grateful that she's been pursued by that guy to receive bitcoin. Well, even me, if someone has pushed me for something that I have no idea at all and it ended up very well and profitable. I'd be grateful to that person and would do something to his favor in return.

Well, at first I thought it was all bullshit.. because the price looked wrong for the period... but I guess I was wrong... it could be factually correct. The Bitcoin price was around $13.28 at the beginning of the year and then it went up quickly to $30 in the first quarter of the year and it ended at about $100 at the end of the year. Wink

I guess she would have pissed her panties if she sold those bitcoins when the price was at a ATH of $60 000+ a while ago. If she was clever.... she will wait until the price reach a new ATH.... and sell then. Wink

I've watched it many times and calculated based on the information that she has mentioned and it seems really factual at all and I've obliged and believed that the story is true. And not just sort of content creator things just to push for some contents to upload on her channel. As for the follow up about her selling it, maybe she should make a video about what she did then next.

This is a turnaround story, though then it wasn't easy and i believe after receiving such payment she saved her login details properly, looking at 2013 till date about 9 years ago not everyone who could do this or possible being active with their phrase or keys and she maintain having 1btc till date, do you think she sold already or still holding?

No idea but hopefully she's still holding it or if she sold then hopefully that it was on $60k and up.

I call her lucky because she still keeps the bitcoins until the price reaches $39k. It changed her life into someone with a lot of money and she can use that money to improve her life. I wonder if she still uses bitcoin and makes it her investment or has even sold her bitcoins to look for another type of investment. I didn't find any videos explaining her using bitcoins or keeping some satoshi for long term investments. But she is indeed a very lucky woman whom we rarely see.

We all have no idea but with that experience she's got. I'm sure that she's definitely open to things about bitcoin or if another donator would ask her to receive bitcoin and possibly any other top altcoins.

Wow, that's an amazing story. The fact that the painter was still able to recollect that she had held bitcoin and the fact that she was still able to access the account in which she held the bitcoin is really amazing.
She must be really lucky that she got the access to her bitcoin. I just hope that she moved it to a non-custodial wallet because we never know if blockchain.com can be trusted with that amount.

Yeah, she's totally in luck with how long she has held that bitcoin given to her. And to know that we're aware that many folks were not able to recover their bitcoin from the past, she's one of the few that managed to successfully sell it at ATH.

Like this huge amount of crypto currency was staged on various wallets from 2013.The people from America was lucky enough to had their huge amount of bitcoin in their wallets.This story was interesting,because a poor man who do work for just 50$.With his luck,he had got the money of 65*1000 times of money from it.For this reason people was crazy about the crypto currency as compared to the live gold assets in the box of Steel in your own house.

She's not poor, she's making free paintings to her audiences and then the bitcoiner guy offered her to receive a donation in the form of bitcoin worth $50 = 1 BTC and she obliged and even studied and taught by that guy on how to make a wallet and stuff if it's real money.

if he still holds bitcoin he might be lucky for him for holding it, I hope he keeps his bitcoin up to $100k and doesn't rush to sell it because he panicked to see the price drop, enough to not see the market price for the next few years front

We all want to see other people holding bitcoin for so long. While hopefully, we're also applying that desire to ourselves that we should hold until the price of bitcoin exceeds that expectation that we've been waiting for.

Good for her! I know a friend who unfortunately forgot the password to his wallet from 2013. Grin

Well, too many stories we knew that they've forgotten their private keys or seeds.

What A lucky man , If i were to receive at that moment? or if I even knew bitcoin that time? I would offer more paintings in return for Bitcoin Grin

but like what is being said ? that if it is for you then its you.

50$ in bitcoin 9 years ago is indeed High price now, hope that he kept that bitcoin till the end of 2021 in which surely he made a 4-5 figures by now.

She's a woman though. She's been appreciated by that guy because the logo she made was also great then so she deserve it. If we're going to think of it right now and recognize it as a bought painting, well, she just sold it for $39k at the time when that video was uploaded.

This simply shows the power of hodling the Bitcoin.People often criticize Bitcoin after they burn their hands while buying at highs and selling at lows, but true growth occurs only with time, be it Bitcoin or say anything else in life. True growth needs patience and diligence..

Lucky painter...

I couldn't agree more.
It's true that in investing, be it bitcoin or any other investments, patience is a must and this woman didn't even thought that she's patient enough to look at it back afrer several years has passed.
